Thuy

The ride on the train home was noisy as usual. Alyshia slumped in her seat staring at the homework in front of her in her lap. School was boring. Nothing but the same old routine, everyday. Get up early, go to school, learn stuff, come home and then just do it all again tomorrow.

She sighed and closed the blank book. Everyone around her was chatting away, caught up in his or her own lives. Alyshia didn't mind going to school with her friends and getting into trouble, she didn't mind doing the same thing everyday, but she was bored of her life. Not that she was complaining she just needed a change.

Gabby, her best friend slid her bag off the seat and sat next to Alyshia. "Why so quiet, Ally?" she wasn't overly worried, but was doing what the 'best friend' is suppose to do. "Bored," Ally droned. "Apart from the usual?" she glanced at Ally with eyes that said 'you know what I mean'. "In that case, nothing," she grinned at her best friend who rolled her eyes and walked away.

The train ride was almost over; there was only one more stop then she would have to move from her seat and start the walk home. It slowed down as it came to that second last station, when her phone sounded, informing her she had received a text message. She studied for a second, trying to decipher her brother's message. Finally, she realised what it said, "They're onto us. I'll meet you at MP". MP? She thought for a moment. Oh, Meeting Place! Ally said to herself, realising how dumb she was.

The forteen year old threw her bag over her shoulder and walked to the door, preparing to exit at the current stop. "Where are you going?" a voice from behind her called. She twirled around, "Last minute change of plan on my transport home. I'll see you guy's later…maybe," he added to herself. She knew she would probably never see them again. She would miss them. HELL she'll long for them in a weeks time, especially Gabby, but she had to leave or even they might end up in danger.

After she had abandoned the train, she searched for a hidden location to change from her school uniform and take off. It was extremely difficult to find a place where no one was, there were people everywhere. But, finally, she found a deserted alleyway behind a shop.

She slowly walked backwards for a run up. Then she was off, up high in the sky on her way to Tony's Corner Café.

She circled above the café for a few minutes until she spotted him. She landed on the roof and slowly scaled down the back of the building. Gracefully, she landed on the asphalt in a crouching position.

Zeke sat alone inside the café at a four seater. His shaggy blonde/brown hair covered his right eye, green eyes hidden. The sixteen year old stared off into space, running his index finger around the rim of the coffee cup. The door opened and he glanced up for a brief moment to see his little sister enter.

Alyshia's blonde hair flowed over her jacket like a cascading river. Her blue eyes scanned the room before she dumped her bag on the ground and sat across from him. She grinned and took a sip from his cup.

"Where are the others?" she began tapping her finger on the table in boredom. "Sky took Blossom to the 'ladies room', as Sky so strongly believes and constantly reminds me, and I messaged Korbin who I presume is still on his way". Ally slumped in her seat and persisted on tapping her nails on the table.

A few minutes later Sky and Blossom emerged from the toilets. Blossom was all jumpy. The five year old practically bounced over to the table, her naturally reddish hair bobbed with her. Following not far behind her was Sky; she was quiet, too quiet. She was always talking, it didn't matter whether you were listening or she was rambling to herself, she always had something to say.

Blossom leaped onto Ally's lap and gave her a hug. "I missed you. School was boring, but when Zeke picked me up from school he tripped my teacher over and said she had nice breasts". Ally gave a 'you're in so much trouble' look to Zeke who shrugged. "Well they were huge… and distracting. It was an accident, I tried to help her pick up her books and…. and… it slipped out". She rolled her eyes and turned to Sky, who was sitting next to her. "You've been very quiet. Are you feeling ok?" she placed her hand on Sky's forehead to feel her temperature. Sky pushed her hand away, "I'm fine. I just don't want to leave. I want to stay here forever". "You knew this day would come. I wasn't looking forward to this day either, but if we stay our friends and family will get hurt. You don't want that to happen do you?" Ally brushed the blue hair out of the 10 year old's face. Sky lowered her gaze and started picking at the broken corner of the table, "No, but I wish the day didn't come so soon". "It's been two years, that's a while," the voice seemed to have come out of nowhere.

The group looked around frantically, searching for the source of the voice. "Over here," a handkerchief waved in the air, but there was no hand attached to it. "About time you got here, even Ally arrived before you," Zeke talked to the invisible boy next to him. Ally glared at Zeke, who ignored her and clamped his hand over her hand, which she was still tapping against the table. Korbin was a year older than Ally and could do that. He could completely disappear, even with his clothes on. He could also copy any after seeing it once. He would often watch fighting and karate movies and copy the moves. Later he would teach them to the others and end up frustrated because it took them so long to master the moves. But he tried his best to be understanding.

"Why are you… in your current…state?" Zeke searched for the words. The invisible boy replied, "They were following me, so I improvised". Sky glanced out the front window, and spotted three Sakori's drifting around the front of the café, searching. "We've got company," she whispered to the group.

"Let's get out of here before we're spotted," they all stood up and walked out the back through the kitchen. Ally carried her school bag in one had and balanced five year old Blossom on her hip, who gripped tightly to Ally's jacket afraid of leaving her side.

Zeke had two backpacks; one for Ally and one for himself, Korbin had his own backpacked filled with necessities. Ally rummaged through her bag and withdrew her wallet, with her ID, bankcard and money inside it, Mp3 player, which she couldn't leave without and her phone. The rest was unimportant to her. The others took off and circled above as Ally ditched her back behind a dumpster and launch into the air.
