Zink: A 6Teen Story
"You're moving again Zeilia? I just got your new address and phone number!!!" Remma whined.
"Yea…well…you know how it is." She said, hoping that she would buy her well worn excuse…..she didn't.
"No I don't. You never tell me."
"Yea, about that…um…I gotta go! Bye Remma!"
"Bu—" Silence. "That Zeilia, always the weird one." She sighed.
/Sometimes Remma wants to know waaaayyy to much. Oh well.\ She thought, packing her sword and mirror, seeing herself in the mirror in the process. Her caramel skin was slightly ashy, except for her face, she's very tall for her age, with brown eyes and very long eyelashes, lots of people say she's beautiful. /I'll just settle for pretty\ She thought and giggled. /I know Remma thinks I'm weird. She has no idea.\ Zeilia thought, and headed down to her car. You see, besides the fact that she could be a little weird at times, she has a secret that makes her even weirder, she is a superhero. She can fly, morph, and do just about anything without anybody knowing who she really is.
Flashback (5 years ago):
"Well, here we are Jaycee, Earth." Lyrica said, her voice slightly shaky with fear.
"It's much brighter than Venus, that's for sure." Her husband replied jokingly, trying to lighten the situation.
Now it was Zeilia's turn to speak, "Wow, it's so…boring!"
"Aw c'mon Zelly. I'm sure you'll love Orange Grove, and your signed up to attend Golden Street Elementary."
"Mom! Please don't call me Zelly. It's embarrassing! Besides, it's one thing to move cities, but planets. It's not fair! And we have to move again in five years. It's just not—"
"ZEILIA!!! I have never heard you speak like that! Your mother and I had no idea you felt this strongly about it."
"Yea well, you haven't even told me why we're here anyway. You've only told me that I can't use my powers. Why? Don't the people here have powers too? Did you lie and say that I don't have powers? Is that the only way I could get in? Don't tell me this is a school for the energetically impaired!?"
"No it's not Zeilia." Her mother chimed in. " Those kinds of schools don't exist on Earth. Their minds are too closed off trying to know everything about the universe, that they don't even know there is life on other planets. And the fact that their minds are closed off like that, causes them to be powerless.
Zeilia jaw dropped. "No powers!? B-but, but that's, that's IMPOSSIBLE!!!"
"I know, but it's true. And that is why we're needed here."
"So we're going to be SUPERHEROS!?"
"SHHHH!!! Yes, now let's unpack."
Now five years later she is (by Venus' terms) old enough to be out on her own, and on her way to her new dwelling in Galleria, New York. She jumped into her car and with a snap of her fingers her house disappeared. /It has some perks. To bad it only works with things I own. \ She sighed inwardly. "Well I better get going to my new home sweet home." She started the car and went on her way.
