Alex 10

Chapter 22

Title; Charmed, I'm Sure

Reports of several odd thefts have taken place. While they are hardly big crimes, they have the common theme of things disappearing out of thin air, on security cameras the objects suddenly vanish in the blink of an eye. It was strange... very strange.

Alice was busy trying to concentrate her new found mana ability on a couple of girls that had made fun of her for literally no reason. "Look what we have here.", she turned to see Alex with a grin.

"Gimme a second.", Alex said as he walked back to the RV and a green bolt of electricity shot out of the door again and into the power line. Power Grid looked down at the girls who kept laughing until he leapt into their phones.

One by one he erased all their data and burned their important parts as he escaped back to the RV, with Alex coming out after a green flash.

The two cousins fist bumped but then they spotted a girl with white hair walking past. She casually snatched food from someone, who looked surprised... but didn't bother getting up to see who took it. She also went ahead and stole a drink, same reaction...

No one was even reacting to her stealing those things, it's almost as if she's invisible. "Let's go after her," Alex said as the two jogged past the others.

The white haired girl quickly turned to them before running off, the other two looked surprised as they ran after the girl. The chase went on for a good couple of minutes before she turned to an alleyway, the two skid passed and... she was gone.

"Huh... weird.", Alice said scratching her neck lightly.

A purplish flash shone through a moderately dark room as the girl stood there, with the food and drink in hand. She wore a magenta coat with purple at the ends, underneath she wore purple long boots with black straps around them, wearing a skirt and some thematic elements. She was fair skinned and had stark white hair, and was pretty attractive. She looked around Fifteen at least.

"Charmcaster, welcome back.", a familiar voice said as a figure, obviously male due to the voice and broad shoulders said floating in front of a book.

"Hey Uncle Hex.", Charmcaster said with a smile before she frowned a bit. "I may or may not have been caught."

"Oh? How did you do that? You should be invisible to anyone.", Hex closed just spell book as he turned and floated back to her.

"Yeah... these two just looked at me, they looked dead at me and chased me.", suddenly, Charmcaster had her shoulders grabbed by her uncle.

"What did they look like?!" Hex yelled at her, who was shaken by his sudden change.

"I-Well, one had a black striped white shirt and one had orange hair.", Charmcaster said as Hex remembered those certain details.

"Did the white shirt one had a bulky little thing on his wrist?" Hex said as Charmcaster nodded. "Fuck... they found us."

"Are they the same people who stopped you before?", Charmcaster asked, cocking her eyebrow in slight anger. Hex simply nodded. "... what do we do?"

"The boy is the main threat.", Hex said as he summoned a ball of yellow energy, before it showed an outside view of their earlier fight. "He was capable of switching in between different forms in an instant, the strongest being a four armed red creature. The girl and the old man are dangerous, one has skill and one has both skill and combat experience. However, the boy is far dangerous... we must take them all out before they come after us again." He said as his eyes glowed yellow.

The good ol Rust Bucket was on their way to their next stop, which was somewhere in New Mexico. With the two cousins just clowning around in the back.
