A Dangerous Secret Revealed

Chapter 6

I remembered about the diary. It was still downstairs on the table. I must get it before Mom sees it. I quickly went down, took it, and went up again. I stared at the book.
Is there more secrets waiting to be unlocked in this diary? I checked the next few pages if there were any words, codes, anything. None.
I checked the last page. Jackpot! There's something. It's a sketch of a woman. It must be Mom's drawing when she was a kid. Mom is really good at drawing, even at a young age. I can see the face clearly. She has fierce-looking face with big eyes. The woman was pretty, but her evil smile told my instinct not trust her.
She was thin and tall. She wore a black, long, gown which was sleeveless. She wore black, long gloves on her hands. Her right hand was holding the exact same notebook I am holding now. Speaking of the notebook, the gem on the cover is red again. Ugh. Can anything get any creepier? On the bottom of the page was: Grazilda.
I really want to ask Mom about this. But she's not feeling well. But I can't wait. So I'll ask. Maybe she'll remeber what happened. And this time, I won't surprise her. I'll tell her first like,"Hey Mom, can we talk? This is serious.." Sounds good. Hmm. What about James? Should I leave him? Bring him? But he's sleeping.
Nah I'll leave him.
I walked to Mom's bedroom. Quietly opening the door, I saw Mom sitting on the bed. The room was dark. Mom heard the creaking sound of the door and turned her face to me. At first I was scared.....
What if she would try to kill me again?
"Mom? Are you feeling better?"
"Yeah. The headache subsided. But there's a cut on my hand. That's weird. I don't remember getting a cut."
"Okay....Good..."
"Why are you here, Cath? Is there something you want?"
"I was hoping that we could talk."
"About what? If this was about how rude I was awhile ago-
"No, Mom. This is something else. This is serious."
Mom stared at me for a moment and said,"Okay, sure. But first turn on the light."
I turned it on and remembered that I had forgotten to bring the diary. How stupid of me.
"Wait Mom. I'll go get something." Without waiting for a reply, I rushed to the other room and got the
notebook. I'm not sure how to tell her this.
"Uh...Mom.... I found this thing in the-" I didnt get to finish because she interrupted me.
"Where, when, how, and why did you find that?!" Mom demanded.
"Uh....found it in a room upstairs,-"
"Specifically."
"In a cabinet. Yesterday,-
"Morning or night?" Ugh she's annoying.
"When you were making dinner. How? I...it was under some clothes in the cabinet-
"HOW did you exactly find it? Skip to the point." Her tone is more worried than angry.
"It was glowing.... And why I found it? No answer.. I was just bored and stuff...yeah..... Look, Mom-
"Stop talking." This isnt going very well... "Did you read anything inside?"
"Yeah, the-
"Everything?"
"I think so. I saw the sketch and....yeah." Mom closed her eyes and sighed.
"Cath, I think it's time I tell you. Not here, though. Let's go somewhere else...."
"Buh...uh... I think it's better here." It might happen again.
Mom gave me a strange look. "Okay, if you insist." I'm beginning to get excited. "Get a chair and sit down." I did as I was told.
"Okay, let's start. What do you want to know?"
"Everything." I answered immediately.
"Everything..?..thats difficult.... Where to begin? Takinyo? Superhero? Fattee?" I think she's talking to herself.
"Begin at the beginning."
"Okay.....Cath. A year before you were born, there were three sisters who were young adults...." She paused, then continued,"The oldest sister was named Amira. She was not so tall, just like her parents."
Where is she going with this?? I asked her to tell me what happened, not tell me what they look like... But I stayed silent and listened.
"Amira was a kind and loving person. Pretty and powerful. She was a Superhero. The second sister's name is Matilda. She's not tall in height but still pretty. She has the same characteristics as her sister. Very poweful, also. She was a Takinyo. The third sister is Grazilda. She was different. She was the tallest in the family. Even in characteristics, she was different. She's cold and selfish and unloving. But there's a reason behind that. Unfortunately for her, she was the weakest of all Takinyos and Superheroes. When she was in school, all Takinyos and Superheroes bullied her because she can't perform anything well.
One day, she was roaming around her house and ended up in a room somewhere. In a cabinet, she found a notebook, size of a textbook. On the front part of the cover, there was a big gem. A ruby. The notebook was then new and beautiful. The gem had words on them: "Dear founder, if you wish to be powerful, point this gem to someone wonderful." At first she didn't get it. Then she realized, this was the key to be powerful!
She tried it, pointed the gem to both her parents, she didn't care for them at all. The powers of the parents transfered to the gem, and they died of weaknest....
The other sisters saw what happened. Grazilda was planning to take their power as well, for she hated them and was jealous. So that's all that Grazilda did, she took everyone's powers, until she was known of the most powerful being." I'm speechless.
"Wait, Mom...there's a whole SCHOOL of Takinyos and Superheroes?!"
"Yeah. But after Grazilda took over mostly everyone's powers and killed them, the two sisters decided to take charge and told the people to evacuate and leave their homes for good and go somewhere safer."
"Where was the school located??"
"Oh, it's not here on earth. We call the place where we used to live Spunkies."
"Weird words. Anyway, where is that??"
"Oh, far away from here. Very, very far away. Anyway, back to the story. Grazilda was very powerful, but she was not contented. She would be satisfied when she took over all planets, all lands, the whole universe.
That changed the lifestyle of all, Takinyos and Superheroes. Instead of going to the Spunky school, they would go to normal schools and at a certain age, they would go with Amira and Matilda in a safer school and there, they will continue their education and do some training."
These informations are very interesting.
"Training for what, Mom?"
"Anything. Danger."
"Oh.... How old are we required to go??"
"Any age you want. Starting from 10-15. As long as you won't go older than 15, that's fine."
"After training, what would happen? And how long is training?"
"Depends on what age you start. Everyone stops at 22 and goes back here and live normal lives again."
"But won't the people on earth wonder where you've gone, especially for a long time??"
"That's the reason why it's not encouraged to make contact with human beings. To avoid suspicions."
"Ohh... At what age did you go to training?"
"14. It was my choice."
"Oh. At what age am I supposed to go?"
"You can't pick, Cath."
"Huh? Why not?"
"You are a Fattee. You can't choose. They will choose for you." What! That's unfair!
"That's unfair!! What's wrong with being Fattee???"
"Well...it's extremely rare, and Grazilda hunts and kills them. All. Because they are the most powerful. I'm sure you know what a Fattee is, since you read the diary, right?"
"Yeah. Oh, how will I know at what age to come?"
"They will contact me and tell me." She said,"They haven't. Don't worry."
"Oh, Mom? What's a Takinyo?"
"It's somewhat resembles a fairy, since we have wands."
"Wands? Where's my wand?"
"You'll receive it on your tenth birthday."
"But that's tomorrow!!"
"Yes. Now, Cath. You have to be extra careful. There might be dudees hunting out for you. Don't talk to strangers, no matter what. Okay?"
"Okay...."
"Okay, let's go eat dinner. It's late." Dinner? But it was just afternoon awhile ago. We must have spent a lot of time talking.
"But I want to ask you something."
"Yes, I know. Watcher. I'll tell you when we're eating. It's late, and I'm sure James is hungry. Now let's go."
We walked in silence. Once I am seated, I asked mom.
"Mom, what's a watcher??????"
"Someone who watches Fattees. Joan is a watcher."
"Oh." Looking at James, I asked one more question.
"Mom, what is James? Takinyo or Superhero?"
She hesitated, then said ,"Neither. Fattee. Don't tell ANYONE."
"Okay. Does that mean he's in danger?"
"Maybe."
After that, I ran out of questions to ask so we ate in silence.
