Flashness the Secret Emerges

Chapter 1

             On a warm spring day Lizzy came to school scared. She has been told that when she turned 16 she would have a secret a big secret, a secret that could not be told, not even her family.

It's May 16, Friday. Today is her birthday,she is 16. She still doesn't know her secret yet even if there was one. Even though Friday is a short day, she doesn't have to worry as much as a full day.

  An hour in the day (9:00) she asked to go get a drink. She went toward the drinking fountain but she never made it to the fountain. She saw that her friends put up a sign on her locker saying "Happy Birthday" signed by Ava, Kim, and Em. Lizzy was happy that her friends took a little time to make it.

Then all of sudden she heard a thump in her locker. She opens the locker door and sees a note on the ground of the locker, she picks it up and reads it, it says:

"Hey Liz come to the 3 trees once your out of school. I'll see ya then, gotta tell you somethin. By the way I know your secret."      ~James

Lizzy was frightened by the note. James knew her secret before she ever did. James and Lizzy has been friends for about 3 years it seems like forever, they treat each other like brother and sister but aren't.

   At 1:30pm she went home put her backpack away and ran outside curious what James had to say. There was James laying down in the grass middle of the trees. "Hey Liz you got here fast."
"Well I wanted to know what the hell this note was all about...Talk!"

"Well.. You know that your eyes always changes colors, icy blue; when cold, orange; when warm, red; when angry, ect."
"Yea you know that everyone does. Doctor said it was so rare disease I had, nothing harmful."

"Well it isn't that.."

"How'd you know? Did you ask my doctor?"

"No I didn't-"

"Then talk give me some damn answers"

"Ok, it is something rare only a few people have it in the world, I have it too. It happened to me when I turned 16 last month"

"Ok.." Lizzy said in confused voice.

"What happened to you last month."

" powers we have powers."

Liz gave him a blank stare wondering if he was lying or not.
"How do I know that your not lying?"

"Here watch"

James takes his hand and points it to the ground like saying stop but towards the ground. And then all kinds of different flowers grew in an instant. Liz was speech less.

She fell to the ground not knowing what in the world was happening, was she dreaming or awake. "Pinch me."

"I'm not gonna pinch you. Get up I'll show you how to use it."

Lizzy gets up with confusion. "How and why would we need this?"

"Umm.. Well I was looking into it, kinda like studying, and read that some person sounds like a guy. Well this person named Thunder sounds like he's the devil well also the bad guy that lives with us like a normal person but once he sees his victim he goes to them and tries and kills them.."

"Uh.. Sounds like a horror story to me." Lizzy saying while walking away.

"Wait!" James grabs Liz's arm. Liz gets startled and shoots ice crystals at the ground almost hitting James in the foot. "Then explain why we both have 'powers'." Said James to prove his point.

Then Lizzy got real quiet thinking. "Uh James what did you say that person was."

"Thunder, why-"

"That's my doctors last name! That's why he didn't say anything for so long!"

"Shit! That means he know we're you live who you are. But why from what I read he always wanted to kill the next powerful good. And that's you... Don't know why but it's true." James does something like opens a screen but there is no devise it's magic. James looks up something. "See here, it says: A girl named Lizzy later known as Flash short for Flashness. She is known for speed of light, once she gets control of her magic/powers she is the root of all light magic. Her most evil opponent Thunder wants to kill her for her magic/powers so he can become stronger and more powerful."

"Are you serious, so why didn't thunder kill me already?"
"Don't know, probably because he wants to know that your the real thing but pretty soon I think he's gonna realize it and come after you...well better get training I guess.. Unless you want to die."

"Guess so let's start."

Lizzy doesn't like the idea, but she had no choice it was her destiny to become 'Flashness.'

"Okay, how do this work?" Lizzy so confused

"We are gonna work on your offense so your prepared. I think from what I've seen in sports you have a good reaction time and good dodging. So let's start. Have your feet spread apart to keep your balance, now put your hands out in front of you like your gonna catch something."

"Ok."

"Now, think what you want to do and what it looks like and what it is going to do."

"Ok."

Lizzy thought hard on what and how she can do this, 'James said I use light magic so is there a limit of what I can do?  .... Think!' Lizzy she tried to shoot ice crystals, but she shot ice crystals in her right hand and fire sparks in her left..

"Whoa that was cool." Said James with excitement.

"How'd that happen I wasn't even thinking about fire just ice crystals." Says Lizzy with confusion.

"Maybe you are..hmm.. Got it! Your a powerbroker"

"You just made that up."

" I swear I didn't there are myths that they exist, people who breaks the bond of using both hands to use one source, except you can use one hand with one and then the other with different."

"But doesn't that make me weaker?"

"No, cause you have the same power with one power in one hand like in two hands, so more power for you."

"So what about thunder doesn't he have it?"

"..of course! That's it! He knows you have it and you needed to discover it before he can attack you."

"Wow, you do a lot of studying, maybe you should start focusing on school studies instead of magic."

"Hey! I rather live than study for a test" he said with a smirk.

"Fine, I guess that fair enough."
