The Dark Mews
Kyra: Chapter 1
I live a pretty bizarre life. No, my parents don't work at a circus, and I don't go to a school for wizards. I'm a super hero! In a way, I am. Even though the team I fight on is evil, and we don't fight to protect the world, we DO help protect it by trying to defeat those nasty cyniclons! All they do is flirt with the good Mews and try to take the earth over. The Good Mews try to defeat the cyniclons, then they try to kill us! We're still not sure why. It might be the whole evil thing, but it's still not fair. Not to mention, having the powers of a narwhal isn't too evil, but the other's powers are. X is a vampire bat, Chrissy is a dragon, Mia, Tia, and Lia's are a three headed dog, and nobody knows what animal Myra is yet. Don't get me wrong, I love being a superhero, but it's a lot of hard work. Also, I don't think my team could get any more boring. It all started when my twin sister Myra and I were walking home from school. Well, I guess it started a few days before that, when I actually got my powers.
"I'm leaving for school now, Mom! Bye!"
"Goodbye, Sweetie! Take care of your sister for me!"
Myra looked a little annoyed. "I don't think I need her to babysit me, Mom. She's the same age as me, and I think she's the one who needs a babysitter considering all the trouble she is."
"Hey! I'm not that bad!" I replied.
"You two better get going if you don't want to be late." Mom informed us.
"AHH! WE'RE LATE!" I screamed, running around like a chicken with it's head cut off.
"Calm down, we're not late yet, but we will be if we don't get going!" Myra warned.
"Ok then, let's GO!" I said, running out the door.
Myra did a facepalm. "Oh, Kyra, what are we gonna do with you?" she asked to herself.
We made it to school on time, luckily. We have different classes, so we only got to see each other at recess. Myra has a study group after school, so I walked home alone. I saw an ice cream parlor on my way home, and dug around in my pockets until I found enough change to get myself a chocolate ice cream cone. I felt a little funny as I walked through the doors, but I thought nothing of it.
"One chocolate ice cream cone, please!" I ordered happily. The girl behind the counter look odd, with green and orange spiky hair, a collar around her neck with a black blotch thing on it, and a green snake skin top.
"Coming right up," she not-so-happily sighed. She walked to the back to go get something, I'm guessing it was my ice cream. The ice cream place was pretty small, with only three tables and only two chairs per table. There were little plastic ice cream cones hanging from the ceiling. The majority of the colors were pink and light blue. As I was waiting for my ice cream, I started to feel weird again. Then, the floor started to shake! I looked around to see the whole shop shaking! I thought it was gonna cave in on me, but I forgot that thought as the ice cream cones hanging from the ceiling started to glow! Suddenly, beams of lights shot out of the cones and hit me! I felt a warm, fuzzy feeling, and passed out. I woke up in my bed at home, with Mom next to my bed.
"What happened?" I asked, half asleep.
"There was an earthquake, and you were knocked out."
"Where's Myra? Is she okay?" I asked, worried out of my mind.
"She had to go to the hospital, but the doctor said she'll be fine."
"Why'd she have to go to the hospital?" I asked.
"A bunch of books fell on her. Maybe you should go check on her. Hannah is in there with her now." Hannah is Myra's best friend.
I jumped out of bed and rushed into Myra's room just as she was waking up. There was stuffed animals and cards all over the room from her book club. Hannah and I explained everything to her, and we left so she could sleep. Mom made Hannah leave and she made me go to sleep.
