The Power of the Four: Chapter 1 The New beginning
As I see the same book again in my dream, I see three other figures with me. As I stand on a building across from the CN Tower in Toronto, I see psychic fortune telling cards falling from the sky; we touch one of the cards with our staffs and little wings appear on each of our feet. We jump off the building and into the night, hoping that we don't die from falling from this height.
"WAAAAAAKKKKKKEEEEE UPPPPPPPPPPP!!" My sister Lilly screamed into my ear. "AHHHHHHHHHHH" I scream back. "Mom said get up or you'll be late for school Nuthead, also good morning" Lilly said leaving my room before I hit the door with a pillow. As I mourn for another morning, I started to think about my dream, those playing cards, and those wands in the others people's hands. As I walk downstairs I see my siblings fighting for the toast again. Lilly is sitting with my twin Matthew and my little brother, and Lilly's twin Logan. Two set of twins are crazy enough with two parents, but having to raise us on her own, mom did a fantastic job. Dad, one day when I was three just up and left my mom and we haven't ever seen him since. My grandma moved in with my mom for the first few months before dying of heart attack. I never met grandpa but mom said he was a great man.
"There you are Derek, we were wondering when you would get up for breakfast" Matthew said with a sarcasm smile on his face. As I sit down in my usual outfit of a dark-orange top with black jeans with a bright yellow Bennie. Lily was wearing a skirt-like outfit with bows and leggings. Matthew was wearing a black short sleeve shirt with dark blue jeans. Logan is wearing a white short sleeve shirt with green pants. As I finish breakfast, mom come in and wishes each of us a good day at school. As Lilly, Logan and Matthew head for the door, I am rushing to catch up to them. On my rollerblades like every day I rush toward my siblings on their bikes headed for school.
TIME SKIPS
At the end of the day I start walking home with my siblings and my best friend Diana Loveheart. As we talk about another random celebrity crush she has now. I keep thinking about the dream from last night as we walk. As we say our goodbye for the night, I get this strange feeling about something. As I'm doing my homework up in my room, I hear Lilly screaming for me. "DEREK! COME DOWN HERE!" As I walk down stairs Lilly is on the couch looking quite scared and giving a book the evil eye. As I started looking at the glowing book, I see a golden lion on the cover and a sun-moon-star correlation on the back.
"What is this book?" I say when the book open it appear the same cards from my dream. As Matthew and Logan came down to see what Lilly wanted with me. I pick up a card. As I look at the pink card from the pink book with a lion on the front. Lilly, Logan and Matthew came up and pick up each a card. As I finally figure out what my card said "T-T-The Earthy" as I said that the entire house started to shake and move every which way. As we all started to scream as we move toward under the door frame for protection from this mystery earthquake. As the earthquake stop as fast as it started we saw the entire book emptied.
"Great, the card are gone. And all we have are four left. What do you guys have? Also Lilly where did you find this book anyway?" Lilly spoke "I have the windy and I found it in the school library but the librarian didn't have it on file so she let me keep it." "The fiery" Matthew said a little bit spooked, Logan finished by saying "The watery". As we got closer to one another, the book started to glow and came out a little plushie lion with white wings. "こんにちは" [1] the little pushy said before looking at us intently. "Did that thing speak to us and was it speaking Japanese?" I said looking at my sibling with confusion with disbelief. As the plushie lion cleared its throat it spoke this "Hello children, do you have any sweets?"
