The Half-breed's Secret

"So, Jeriicho, what exactly do you mean when you say you don't like the wizards doing your pranks for you?" User asked, floating above the mortal. Tucker yelped, glancing up. Sonja jumped a few feet away, raising her sword until she saw who it was. "Did you perhaps mean to say the wizards are useless?"

"No!" Tucker shouting, face turning bright red. "I didn't even know you were right there!"

"Mmhmm," User frowned, tapping his wand against the palm of his hand. "That appeared quite obvious."

"Look, I'm sorry. I just like doing my own pranks," Tucker fumbled to explain. Sonja smirked, surveying the whole situation from a distance. User frowned deeper and pulled out a new wand from his pocket. It was shaped like an ordinary stick but it was glowing with a magical enchantment. He shook the wand in front of Tucker's face, and then just as quick, smacked Tucker's shoulder with it. The mortal went flying, screaming until he landed in the ocean a few hundred meters away.

"Whoa!" Sonja exclaimed, staring at the wand. She didn't appear to notice that her boyfriend was crawling ashore, spitting out salt water and cursing User loudly.

"Knockback ten wand," User said proudly, handing her the magical stick. "I made three copies like it and I was planning on giving them to you, Tucker, and Jordan, but considering Tucker's rudeness, it looks like Mr. Syndicate will be getting a wand too."

"So does that mean Tucker won't have a knockback wand?" Sonja asked, twisting the wand in her hands. User nodded and grinned as Sonja whacked Tucker with her new wand, sending him flying back into the ocean as soon as he reached the top of the hill.

"Come on!" He shouted, voice distant. "Really?"

"It was necessary for scientific purposes!" Sonja shouted back, waving her stick in the air. She turned back to User, grinning widely. "Thanks for the wand!"

"No problem. I was bored and decided to experiment," User shrugged, smiling. "All I needed was a test subject and Tucker was happy enough to step up to the task."

"Curse you, User!" Tucker screamed from down below at the beach.

"See? He's absolutely thrilled!" User laughed. "Have a good day, Miss Firefoxx."

"You too, User!" Sonja waved goodbye and ran down to where Tucker was, most likely to beat him up with the stick again. User snorted, the antics of mortals never failing to amuse him. Especially Tucker and Sonja. They got into silly little squabbles almost every day, and the end result was usually Tucker being wrong and Sonja winning the argument.

User closed his eyes and teleported to Tom's house, surprising the green man who was just coming back from a mining trip.

"Holy mother of -" Tom jumped, scattering his diamonds everywhere. "User! You scared the crap out of me!"

"That seems obvious," User said dryly, scooping up some of the diamonds that had fallen near him. He smirked, handing the diamonds back to Tom, also mixing in his wand without him knowing.

"Thanks man!" Tom exclaimed, taking his diamonds back. He slipped them into his rucksack without noticing the wand but User smiled, knowing that Tom would find the wand before too long. When he did, no doubt chaos would ensue.

"I'll be on my way now. Have a good day, Mr. Syndicate." User grinned and teleported again before Tom could ask him any questions. User appeared on the porch of Sparklez house and knocked on his door, expecting the rushed footsteps heralding Jordan's approach. Instead, he heard someone walking softly on the ground and when User glanced through the large glass windows on either side of the door, he caught a glimpse of bright red hair before a pretty young woman opened the door.

She smiled, her green eyes alight with playfulness. "User! What brings you to our home?" She brushed a strand of hair out of her face and blinked expectantly.

"Uh, I came to see Mr. Sparklez about something," User said awkwardly, confused by the appearance of the unknown woman.

"Of course, come on in! My name is Aureylian, by the way, but you can just call me Aurey for short." User's memory returned and he realized he recognized the woman.

"Ah yes! Jordan's wife! He's spoken about you a few times before," User grinned. "Where's he at right now? I have something for him."

"I think he mentioned he was going to go and do a few things for Nade in exchange for some diamonds. Here he comes now," Aurey waved at someone behind User's shoulder and he turned around in time to see Jordan slamming the door open, stomping into his house.

"All right, User. What made you think it was a good idea to give Tom a knockback wand?" Jordan yelled, eyes narrowed in anger. For the first time, User noticed Jordan was covered in dirt and was very much scraped up. He snickered, not shutting up when Jordan glared at him.

"Well?" Jordan demanded. "I was just coming back home when Tom jumped out at me and hit me with this shiny stick. I was sent flying halfway across the world and I know the reason behind the stick was you User. Now what do you have to say for yourself." Jordan started yelling again, staring up at the tall wizard.

User snickered again and tossed Jordan his own knockback wand. "I made you one too."

Jordan stared at the wand, then glanced back up at User before looking back at the wand again. "You are a very wise man indeed," he finally said, contradicting what he had said moments before. User winked, before teleporting away once more.

XxX

User walked up to his house, pausing for a second as he surveyed the outside of the little structure. There was a hoe lying on the small flowerbed, a collection of wood chippings strewn across the lawn and loud bangs could be heard coming from inside the house.

Oh no, User mentally groaned. Twisted's having another of his fits.

He rushed inside, throwing the door open. Inside of their house, it appeared that a cow standing on its back legs was banging a sword against a brewing stand for no apparent reason. User rushed over to the cow, grabbing a pair of handcuffs on the way. He immediately grasped the cow's hands and chained them together with the handcuffs.

"Let me go!" The cow turned around, revealing himself to be Twisted. His eyes were lit up in fury and held no trace of recognition for User.

User gritted his teeth and dragged Twisted to the second level of the house, shoving him onto the floor. He yelled, writhing around and kicking out, but he couldn't move his hands to get up. Twisted glared at User, eyes filled with hatred and he growled, almost like an animal.

"I'm sorry, buddy," User mumbled, even though he knew Twisted wouldn't remember him. He left Twisted upstairs and went back down to the first floor to see what he could do about the mess. The outside was most urgent and thankfully, it wasn't near as messed up as the inside.

As User gathered up the wood chips strewn about he thought about more ways to contain Twisted. He didn't like thinking that way about his friend, but it was for the safety of everyone that Twisted's secret was kept hidden.

Twisted wasn't a true wizard like the Fyre group. His mother had been mortal and had fallen in love with his father, who was a wizard. Twisted's father had enjoyed experimenting with his spells until one time, they backfired. After that, Twisted's mother had drifted farther and farther away from reality until finally, Twisted had run away from all he had ever known.

But being a half-wizard, Twisted sometimes had violent fits. He had never killed anyone, but he had hurt User before. User tried his best to keep Twisted's secret safe, for fear of anyone else finding out. Tom had come dangerously close to finding out the truth one time when he joked about how Twisted and User's house looked like a bull had been rampaging through it.

A few hours later, their house looked to be in its normal, orderly state. User sighed, and then went upstairs to see if Twisted had calmed down yet.

Twisted was lying in the same spot User had left him in, staring at the floor. He looked up when User came into the room and blinked apologetically, moving his hand slightly and making the chains on his handcuffs clatter noisily. User knelt down and unlocked Twisted's handcuffs, staying silent.

Twisted winced and rubbed his wrists, sighing sadly. "Did anyone notice?" he asked, his voice harboring a hint of nervousness.

"No, I don't think so. Nothing was broken and no one was hurt so it was better this time," User said, hanging the handcuffs back on the hook on the wall. He helped Twisted up off the floor and squeezed his hand. "We've gone this long without your secret being discovered. We can go on."

"Can we though?" Twisted stared up at him with sorrowful brown eyes. "It's only a matter of time before someone notices, and then everyone will know I'm dangerous."

User half-smiled. "I think you're forgetting about someone, buddy. If they want to hurt you, they'd have to get through me first."
