So, Chapter 4! Sorry I took so long, I had high scale writers block for a while. So yeah!

...but seriously, please review this. I'm not at all popular, and I could use any support I get. Thanks!

Jack didn't know why Phillip was gone.

His mom had disappeared too, leaving Phillip's little brother, Seth, in the hand of Jack and his family. By law, if a family happened to disappear or die, and left a child behind, the family closest to them both physically and mentally had to take them in.

And so, Jack was left with babysitting duty. Seth, being only 7 years old, didn't dwell on his family's dissapearence. He just ran around and WOULD NOT STOP.

I hope Phillip gets back soon, or I'm going to disappear too...

::::::::::::::::::

I wake to voices. Before getting out of... Well, whatever I was in, I listen.

"... Can't be trusted. I'm sorry, but you have to still keep an eye on him. He needs to be mentored, too..."

"I cannot do that! I have my own duties, and the boy can learn on his own! You know well that if I do not get to Sisõa soon, war will be inevitable!"

"Then you can take him with you! Listen, I know that you have pressing duties, but you are the only person capable of teaching him! You know how you are..."

"Ok... But we will have to leave within two days."

I think it's about time for me to get up.

I open my eyes and look around me. So yes, I'm in a bed and not a creeper nest, that's good...

The room is little more than a big closet, only 3 blocks wide with rounded edges on one side. Without the edges it would be 4 by 3 rectangle, with a 4 block high ceiling. A window looks out over...

Whoa.

How high am I?

The window looks over the entire city, and I'm VERY high up. I can see the lighthouse blinking in the distance.

Wait... That means I'm in... The Wizard Tower!

A flood of memory comes through my mind and I remember why I'm here. I'm apparently a Creative? Ok... And that was Flu's voice earlier, so apparently she's going to take me to this place called Sosia or something.

Wait. A Creative?

Creatives are just legends. Folk tales! Flying, breaking things in one hit, being nearly invincible... Impossible!

But then again... What else could I have been doing yesterday? Or was it even yesterday...?

I check my watch (thank Notch I still have everything) and see that it's 90 degrees (which is about midday). I look on the table and see my backpack.

Didn't Creatives have unlimited resources? So my backpack should have everything! Unless I'm not. One way to find out...

I open the pack and gasp. It's completely full! That means... I really am one.

Before I have any time to think about it, the door opens and Flu comes in. Someone else is behind her. Wait... Is that...

"MOM?!"

"I'm so sorry, dear. I should have told you..."

"You knew all along?! Why didn't you say something?! I got freaking KIDNAPPED!"

Flu decided to contribute to the conversation. "Actually, I was directed to take you and by law it is required that if a Creative is to be discovered that-"

"Flu, dear, I think I should talk with Phillip alone for a minute."

Flu leaves promptly and my mom and I are left in the small room.

"I'm so sorry... I didn't mean for this..." My mom starts sobbing and hugged me.

Now I feel bad about being mean to her...

"It runs in the family, dear. The firstborn child of a Creative is gifted from the start. So when you were born..."

"Whoa. Does that mean... Dad was a Creative?"

"Yes, dear. He was very brave... We had to keep your identity secret, or the Wizards would have taken you from the start. Now your old enough..."

"What do you mean 'I'm old enough?' Am I going to be trained or something?" I already knew the answer.

"Yes. Flu will train you in flying and everything else. I will have to stay here."

"Because of Seth?"

"Yes. He may not be a Creative, but he is also powerful... I love you. I have to go... I won't be able to see you for a long time."

"But, Mom!"

"It's okay, dear." She says as she opens the door to go out. "I'll always be here for you. Can you swing by after you finish training? I would love to see you. So grown up already..." She was in tears when she closed the door.

I was too.

:::::::::::::

After a while, Flu came in to show me around. She told me everything about the Wizards, and after a while seemed to relax a bit.

"Now, the last floor we're going to be visiting is the Great Library. Please be quiet, unlike some OTHER people..." She glares at a strange looking Wizard that's making a potion.

When we entered the Library, it took me a few seconds to take everything in. It's humongous! There's more books than I could imagine...

"Alright, your tour is over." There was a hint of sarcasm in her voice. "You may go anywhere you like as long as its in the Tower."

With that, Flu left. I looked through the first section of books.

HISTORY, it read. I move my eyes across the books. The Three Users. That's not history, that's a legend... The Mysterious Fall of Trinira. Again, that's just a legend! Lets see... The Listener, The Creatives, Adeline and the- wait, what was that last one?!

I take The Creatives book off and open it.

"...and with great difficulty can achieve this high level of training from hard work... Also known as The Chosen, because... with many people trying to take advantage of their unlimited resources, they are guarded with... Some even make entire cities on their own, with just..."

I flipped through the pages, and decided to take the book with me.

I went upstairs to my closet-room, which is in one of the living floors. Flu had told me that she could be there very quickly through the Wizards' piston falling system, which is basically just falling to the correct floor with enchanted boots on.

I didn't have to do that, though, because on the way into my room, she saw me.

"I hoped you enjoyed the library. I find it rather peaceful if you go in the morning, though. In the evenings, the old wizards' incessant talking is rather disturbing..."

She goes on about the "incessant talking". It seemed that when she got comfortable, ALL SHE DID WAS TALK.

"...so I concluded that if they were removed, we would get a 30% better concentration rate. By the way, what is that book?"

"Oh... It's just about... Flowers." Good one, Phil. Flowers.

"Really now? And since when did you get Creatives mixed up with flowers?" She grabs the book out of my hands.

"I just wanted to-"

"I will teach you all you need to know about your heritage tomorrow. Today, you must rest. You will need it for the journey to Sisaõ." With that, she leaves.

Sisaõ! Isn't that in the desert? Why would we need to go there... Oh well. I should probably rest like she said. This bed us actually really comfy...

::::::::::::::::::

As far as the public knew, Phillip's mother had never been gone. Jack didn't know why she left, but it was kept a secret to anyone who knew of her dissapearence. At least she took Seth. I would've throttled him before the end of the day.

But he didn't. But in addition to them being gone, Mr. Ley had to take over for both classes. Mr. Behind was on "some work stuff" as Mr. Ley had said, so he wouldn't be back for a while. Good riddance.

So with another day done, Jack went to sleep, with no clue of how the next day would change his life forever...

Great! So this chapter is finished, and within a week, as promised! So yeah, not much more to say... Bye!
