Tales of Zatanna : Volume One

Chapter 2

"Abracadabra Part Two"

About a few moments later after my act, I got my pay, changed my clothes and put my leather jacket on. I went out the back door so that I can hit a short cut. What was I thinking going down an alley, that just screams attack! When walking down the alley way, I heard a scream in the distance. My spidey sense is tingling...

I looked forward, an old garbage can that was rolling on the ground by the fierce wind. The sound of rocks crunching under the can filled the alley. I looked ahead and noticed the girl lying on the cement crying. I ran up to her and bent down to place my hand on her back to see her face. No one was around the area, no one was attacking her. She then stopped crying, and got up to face me. She smiled and started to laugh when her eyes turned yellow. "Clever, you're a Shape-Shifter" I said.

"So you're Zatanna, interesting" the demon said. "Frost will be pleased that you live close to town" she laughed. I looked ahead from the Shape-Shifter where the streets light shinned an opening from the alley.

"Tell your Frost that I am done fooling around, if she wants me, she will have to come and get me" I taunted back. The Shape-Shifter started to laugh and slowly slip into the shadows of the alley.

It took about 15 minutes until I got to my apartment. I love to decorate my home with the new designs . I threw my keys on the side oak table beside mu half broken steal door with the number 214 falling off. I walked to my kitchen turned on the lights and opened my black fridge to pull out a water bottle.

I stuffed my hair into a pony tail and picked up my spell book. I've had it since I was just born. Apparently it was used through generations and generations in my family. Everyday I use the protection spell so no evil tries to get into my home. The spell book holds information about all sorts of super Villian's and other creatures. For example, Brainiac who was defeated by Batman a couple of years ago. I wish I could meet those other Super heroes that have special abilities like me.

I sat down on my carpet in front of my TV and read the spell in my book to protect my doors. "Viscrasa dartova ostello." I shouted. A big green ray shone out of my spell book and it beamed to the doors and windows. I was finally safe at home today. I sighed and closed up my spell book so that I can watch TV. I started to eat my chips I placed on the side table next to my chair. I glanced at the clock and it said "10:00 PM". I was so excited because everyday at this time I watch the channel 3 news to see updates on the mysterious bank robbers.

I've been so close to breaking into Frost's layer, but for some reason my fire can't melt her ice barrier. Interesting...?

My magic powers aren't that strong yet, I still have to practice with my magic. Magic is very hard learning process, you need to be able to control your mind and be strongly focused and relaxed.

Villains say that I am pretty good at mu magic, I have never lost during a fight, mostly because they are bank robbers, not supernatural beings. While watching TV news the news girl said that their were reports at the Sundial Bank that a robbery is taking place at this moment and their are 20 hostages. I am so excited that this might be Frost!

I quickly turned to my bedroom, but on my Magician clothes and wore my hat. Locked my door and ran down the streets of California to find the Bank. "Abracadabra" I said, and I transported to the Bank of Sundial. I called one of the cops to ask what had happened "Um, detective, what happened?" I asked with a charm. He turned around and looked right into my eyes. "ma mm I f you could just stay behind the yellow tape, that would be great" he said. I started to try and think of what I was going to say.

"My husband is in there" I lied. He looked at me and started to laugh until he couldn't breathe. "You don't lie a lot, do you?" he smiled. I giggled and nodded my head in embarrassment. "Okay, I am a social worker, and I know that thief in there, I'm just asking if I could go in and talk the person in there" I said. He looked at me serious now, and he talked into his walky-talky "Theres a woman here asking if she can talk to the woman who is robbing the bank. She says she's from Homeland security" Detective Harris said.

"You can go in" he said leading the way. I smiled and walked like a proper lady up the long and big stairs of the bank. I opened the wide and tall doors to go into the bank. Killer Frost stood in front of me with her evil smile, laughing at my appearance.

"Hunny, I think you're a little to late" she smiled. A icy fog came out of her mouth while she spoke and freezing the air like an cold air conditioner. I started to think of ways I could kick her frozen ass.

"Darling, you don't know me well enough to be able to beat me" said Frost. I let out a laugh and said, "Oh don't worry, I did my homework, I know who you are" I said. Frost picked up a hostage from behind the counter and lifted him up from his arm. "That spell book is so not updated, I've learned new ways, I am much stronger" She said laughing with confidence. I tilted my hat to start my magic. I lifted my hands in the air and a fire ball the size of the base-ball shot out and flew right to Frost. Frost blocked it with her hand and it turned to water that fell to the ground.

I was nervous what i was going to do next. I tried to make it look like I didn't have a plan and I did. I remember one day when I read a spell to slow down your enemy. "guess what, think fast" I said. She looked surprised and I said my spell. Frost started to slow down and I had a chance to move everyone out of the bank. I noticed that Frost was breaking out of the spell and I had to move quick.

I got everyone out and walked pass Detective Harris. "Good night" I winked. I walked away from all the news reporters and went down a dark alley. I smiled from a days good work and sprinkled pixie dust on me so I would transport back to my house.

Detective Harris looked for me, but he couldn't find me. "who is that girl?" he asked himself.

I knew that Frost got away before the cops got her, and I still have unfinished business with her. Questions I have need answers, I will get them, soon.
