Chapter six: Mischief and surprises OR Little seer.

After we got home, Mom and Dad started questioning us about why we where outside during a sand storm. They supposed we were curious and all that, so after a long, boring scold we had dinner (I pretended to eat and then I ate some coal I had hidden in my room) and we went to sleep.

It was 3:23 A.M. and I couldn't sleep. I tried, but I just couldn't. A feeling of nervousness and anxiousness kept me awake, a lump formed in my throat as I recalled the events of the day. I tried to talk with my Dad, but I get no response. I thought I needed answers before, but now…

What if Belloc really wants me to become his heir?

What if I refuse?

What will he do to me, if I don't do what he says? Will he hate me? Is he going to hurt me? At that moment, I started to imagine what he would do to hurt me. I curled up and started shaking, my eyes closed, trying to stop my thoughts.

"He wouldn't do that. Don't think that." I thought.

What if he finds out about me living with the Whites?

What will he do to them?

Imagining that, I hid my face on the pillow and let out a muffled sob. I drifted off to a nightmare. I can't remember what it was about, I just knew that my dad was in it.

"Please don't… don't…" I moaned, still not fully awake. Another unwanted thought appeared.

What if someone finds out about me being Half-Kaiju?

With a shiver, I realized I don't want that. I don't want to become my father's heir. But I don't know how to question him, how to get out of this situation. The more I thought about it, the more nervous I became, until I realized that it wasn't nerves what I was feeling. I opened my eyes, not really seeing anything, lost in my thoughts.

A hand touched my shoulder and I jumped, seeing my sister standing besides my bed. I immediately recognized why she was here. Since she was little, Lea has a habit of coming into my bed and sleep with me. This always happens if she is upset. But she didn't seem upset at the moment.

Relaxing just a bit, I realized. I was the one who needed someone to talk to.

"I thought you wouldn't sleep, Vale." She said as she crawled to my side. Her mere presence comforted me. Usually it's the older that comforts the younger, but it also can be the other way around.

"Are you all right?" I asked softly as she curled up and I wrapped my arm around her, pulling her closer to me.

"Yes, I am. And you?"

I shook my head, trying to get rid of the nightmarish thoughts I had before, when I thought Dad might hurt me if I disobey him. I shivered.

"I am scared." I confessed. Lea didn't say anything, she clench my pajama tighter.

"It will all turn out well, I promise." she said.

"Don't make promises that you can't fulfill." I said, stroking her hair, as I finally started feeling tired.

Just before I fall asleep, I saw Lea smirking mysteriously, her green eyes shining in the night. She was holding her sketchbook. I looked at her eyes. Good, they were mischievous, they didn't have that glassy look.

"What are you going to do with that?" I asked knowingly. Whenever Lea took out that book and had that look, we always seem to get into sticky situations.

"I just wanted to see if I could come up with a plan to find out more about your father!" She said excitedly. "When I draw my plans it's like they take on a life of their own, like they were always going to happen that way."

"But I always end up having to make a quick escape. Our parents almost catch us every single time!" I complained, but it fell on deaf ears. Le had already taken out her pencil and started drawing. Over her shoulder I could see the outline of a room. As the picture became more detailed I could tell that it was our parents' room, with Le and I sneaking into it.

"Oh no Le. We are not going to sneak into our parents' room just to get our hands on the laptop. They would catch us for sure!"

"But I already drew it in the book, Vale." She said strongly. "You know that whenever I draw something in here I have to act on it. I won't let you back out of this. You're going with me and whether you want to or not."

"I love my sister with all my heart but sometimes I wish she would give up on things like this." I thought but then quickly removed the idea from my head. If she gave up on things this easily then she probably would have given up on me a long time ago.

"So, what's the plan Le?" I asked "Are we just going to walk in there and take the laptop and leave? Or do you have a better idea?"

Lea flashed me a wicked smile. "If it was going to be that simple I would have been disappointed of myself. We're going in that room alright, but not through the door. We're going through the window." She said mischievously


I don't care how strong Lea thinks I am, being up there on the roof at night scares me. Le pushed me towards the window and practically forced me to climb on to the roof. The plan was to get to my parents window and grab the laptop without even entering the room. Luckily for me, they keep it on the desk right by the window. Mom thinks the natural light will help keep our eyes for getting damaged on the rare occasions we get to go on it.

"How does Le even know that their window is opened?" I muttered to myself. Even though I had complete confidence in Lea's ability to make a plan, little things like this always seemed to happen. Usually it's my fault though. If I followed her plan perfectly we would get away with it but usually I mess it up and we get caught. Grabbing the edge of the roof with my hands I lower myself onto the ledge of my parents' window. Luckily the window was open, and I carefully perched myself in a way that would let me reach in there without falling. The laptop was left closed right on their desk, just like it always was when someone wasn't using it. I grabbed it and started to leave when I heard a crash sound behind me.

"I'm so stupid!" I mentally screamed at myself. The laptop was plugged into the wall and when I took the computer I forgot to pull it out, causing it to crash on the floor as I tried to leave. But it didn't seem to make too much of a loud sound cause my parents just slept through the whole thing without moving a muscle. I pulled the plug out and with one hand on the computer and the other on the roof ledge, I pulled myself up.

"I guess being half-Kaiju can have its perks." I whispered in wonder. A person of my size usually isn't strong enough to lift themselves up with one hand without breaking a sweat. I quickly walked across the roof to my side of the building and lowered myself down in a similar way as before.

Lea grinned at me from my bed and said, "See, I knew you could do it! Now let's get down to work. We got to find out as much about Belloc as we can."

"Your right." I agreed as I sat next to her and we started on our long night of research.


Vale seemed very excited with the idea of firebreath.

"You are kidding?" I whispered to him. "I would prefer shapeshifting."

"It's firebreath, Lea, FIRE. BREATH. Besides, we haven't got any proof that he can shapeshift." Vale retorted.

"Vale, think for a minute. Then how were you made?" Mom and Dad had given us "the talk" a few months ago. Matt and Vale looked scarred for life. I giggled remembering.

Vale's face turned white, then green, and he closed his eyes, put his hand over his ears and grimaced.

"Nonononono, not listening lalalalalalla!" he whispered/yelled.

"It seems difficult..." I grinned evilly when he stopped.

"Oh dear, bad mental images, BAD mental images..." he gagged.

"You do have a weak stomach." I commented, "Future Firebreather." I said. Vale grinned weakly at me and we kept looking for information.


MATT'S POV

I awoke in my bed, tangled with the blankets. I detangled myself and looked to the other bed, spotting and hiding Mom's laptop. I felt guilty when I saw Vale sleeping with Lea, she was snuggled close to him and he was holding her like a human teddy-bear. I heard Vale whimper and toss in his sleep last night, and then Lea came, but before that I didn't know what to do to comfort him. It's obvious he is scared. I looked at the clock in my night table, it was getting late. I grinned and positioned myself right besides my siblings.

LEA'S POV.

"WAKE UP!" I awoke with a jump and nearly fell from the bed. Vale, who I had been snuggled up to, woke with a start and did fell from the bed.

He landed with a THUMP!

Matt, the screamer, started laughing.

"Morning" Vale yawned from the floor.

"Morning, little bro." laughed Matt. I frowned at him.

"Le, I can understand that you slept with Vale, I myself couldn't sleep…" Started Matt, not noticing Vale flinching. I looked at him concerned.

"…and I also know that you stole Mom's laptop, but why did you slept with this?" he asked holding…my sketchbook?! NO ONE messes with MY sketchbook!

"Give it back!" growled Vale. I walked up to my oldest brother and snatched MY SKETCHBOOK of his hands. We ran to the living room.

After breakfast, I opened my sketchbook. I had drawn in it since I could grab a pencil. The reason why it is still with blank pages it's because there aren't just drawings in it. There are special drawings.

It has been happening all my life, but it gets more constant as I grow up. I can feel another coming right now…

I started breathing heavily, my eyes staring at the wall in front of me. I grabbed the pencil. I barely noticed Vale's presence…

I saw a man standing in front of what it seemed to be a silver jet. He seemed like a young man despite his white hair. His features were hard and he was dressed in some kind of uniform. I saw him talking about something with a woman with glasses. Before the man faded, I noticed the words in his jacket's back: MEGTAF.

I snapped out of it and looked a Vale, who was staring at me with a knowing look. Usually I have my sketchbook for the plans I draw. They always seem to work the way I want to. But when I feel that coming I have an urge to draw the things I see. I grabbed the pencil tighter and started drawing the man.

"It happened again, Little Seer?" Vale used his nickname for me, trying to look over my shoulder. I smiled at the nickname and nodded.

"It's the second time in a few hours." I whispered, finishing the draw. I looked at Vale. Before I could react he grabbed my sketchbook away from my grasp.

VALE'S POV

It was like, hear it, and react to it immediately. Lea NEVER had so many visions in so little time. It had been happening all her life, but I never forget…

I looked at her most recent draw. It was a man in front of what it seemed like a jet. I looked at the words on his back: MEGTAF. I'd Google it later. Then I turned back a page.

It was a boy, a teenage boy, standing with a girl in front of the edge of a cliff. I looked a bit more and realized something.

Me.

And Lea.

She must have seen older versions of us. But what disturbed me most was…

"Lea…" I said slowly. "What is this?"

The sketchbook lay open on the table. Lea looked at my face with an unsure look on her face. "Vale, it probably doesn't mean anything. The picture, it… it's just something I felt like drawing. The wings… they don't mean anything." She told me in a shaky voice. She was trying hard but we both know that it's not true. This was a vision drawing… and I had wings. No matter what choices I make or how normal I try to be, this is what's awaiting me.

"MEGTAF." I said in a small voice "I wonder what they are. And why are they here in the picture?" I looked over at Le and knew that she knew as much as I did on this matter

"Vale, we could, you know, look it up. Mom and dad still haven't realized that we have the computer. And by the looks of this picture, they could know something that could help you." Le said with a voice growing in confidence. She looked so sure in her idea that I didn't have the heart to tell her that there was no way of getting out of my future. But looking the MEGTAF up would help me find out more about what the picture means

"You're right" I forced myself to say "Let's go find out what they are and see if they got any useful information about my Kaiju problem "

We ran up the stairs and started looking into them, not knowing that a couple hundred miles away they were doing the same exact thing on us.


BARNES POV

I was waiting at the site that Belloc was last seen at. People would hardly be able to tell that a giant Kaiju fight went on in this exact location. The only thing out of place was the sheets of glass made by the high temperature fire that Belloc breath.

"It was a waste of time to come here." I muttered to myself. All traces of the family that was here were gone too. I was just going to have to wait until they find out where that kid lives.

"Come in, General Barns. Can you hear me?" my headphones buzzed in my ear. Finally some news must have come in.

"I'm here. What news have you got for me?" I told the voice. I hoped they at least had the kids address because I don't want to deal with petty information like his age or his eye color. None of those would help me get closer to the Kaiju king.

"Sir, we have found out what school the child goes to. The R.V. was rented and the account given by the family didn't give us the address. We could hack into it but that will take more time. A few days, maybe even a week."

"I don't have that kind of time!" I shouted at the headset. If they thought they could hold me off from getting to work right now they were wrong. "Today's a Sunday right?"

"Yes sir this is Sunday." The voice replied.

"Well that means that there's school tomorrow, right?" I asked him sarcastically.

"Yes sir." The voice mumbled.

"Then give me the stupid address and I will find that kid myself!" I yelled at the voice. Sometimes I feel that I was only competent person in the entire organization.

"Yes sir. The details will be sent to your personal computer right now." The voice replied.

"And have you found out any name for the family yet?" I asked, hoping they were able to get something done right.

"Not the first name of the kid, sir. But we do know their family name. It's the Whites, sir." The voice confidently said.

A smirk appeared on my face as I headed towards my army truck. I clicked off my headset and headed north towards the distant city. "The Whites." I thought to myself. "I hope they don't mind me questioning their son too much." Tomorrow would be an event full day for the young White family.
