Nathan had kissed me goodnight about an hour ago but I still couldn't sleep. The darkness in my room helped me to feel sleepy but something didn't feel right. Eventually I sat up in my bed and crawled slowly to the lone window near the edge of my bed. I slid off the side of my mattress and kneeled next to the window, placing my arm on the window sill and my chin on my arm. I watched the wind blow gently through some trees and a few bushes. I was about to stand to crawl back into my bed, finally deciding to force myself to sleep, when I saw a dark figure suddenly dart from behind one tree to the next. Thinking it was just a trick of my mind, I thought about climbing back into bed anyways, but when I saw the figure move again in the corner of my eye, I knew I wasn't just seeing things. I looked back through the mirror and saw the figure go into the side door; the door that lead to the kitchen.
I stood and ran out my room, thinking I could handle this criminal with my powers easily, but I still approached the kitchen with silent caution. I leaned my back against the wall, listening. The person seemed to be moving very slowly; I couldn't turn to see where he or she was. I thought quickly, then smiled as an idea came to me. I held my hand out a little and watched as the small white light appeared. I frowned a little, not thinking about the white light, since the person may see it, but a small mirror appeared soon. I tilted it until I could see the intruder, making his or her way around the dining table, walking right towards me. I smirked and placed my right hand behind my back, while the mirror in my left hand kept an eye on the person. Behind me a dagger appeared in my hand. I gripped it tightly as the person approached, and right as he or she stepped near me, I jumped up and went towards the criminal. The lights came on. She screamed. A voice to my right ordered, "Mag, no! Stop!" I gasped and jumped back, seeing it was just a blond haired girl with a terrified look on her face. I looked to my side to see Nathan looking at me with confusion and a little bit of fear in his eyes. I put my hands behind me and the objects disappeared.
"I-I thought she was a burglar-"
"Does she look like one?" Nathan asked with a still confused look. It was as if he didn't believe me.
"I could barely see; it was dark!" I defended myself. I turned towards the girl in anger, but she was still frozen in fear. I wanted to apologize, but I was angry now. I felt, somehow, more powerful while I was angry; so I kept it. I pushed past Nathan and stormed back to my room. I slammed the door shut and sat on my bed. I crossed my arms and breathed quicker than usual but not too fast. I could feel things going on around me in my room, but I didn't bother to look at first. When I finally looked back up, everything in my room, including my clothing, had turned black.
I awoke the next day to find Nivis in the room with me. "Nivis? What are you doing in here?"
"Watching you." She said with a serious voice. "Nathan told me what happened last night."
I groaned and sat up; the sunlight in the window hurt my eyes, "I mistook the girl for a burglar. What's so horrible about that?"
"That isn't a problem. That wouldn't have mattered. You tried to harm her. That's why I'm watching you."
I rolled my eyes, "It's not like I would have killed her." She remained silent.
I looked down at my clothing, still black from the night before. I touch my hand to the clothing gently and it turned red. I stood and looked to Nivis, "Well, are you going to watch me get dressed or will you please stand outside the door?"
She lowered her eyebrows to show her agitation, but turned and left the room quietly. I sighed and looked at myself in the mirror I had created some time ago. "What's going on with them? I was worried about our safety. Is that so bad?"
I shook my head to be rid of the thoughts. I raised my hand a little and a woman with a hair brush and a bottle of perfume appeared behind me. She was a woman from a hair styling commercial, which I used to fix my hair. I smirked to myself; this power was some fun. I sat in a red chair I created for myself while she fixed my hair. Meanwhile, I was thinking of what I wanted to wear today. With the power to create whatever I wished, I could wear whatever I wished. Money was not an issue. I fancied a red halter top with blue jeans and red high heels. I raised my hand a little and the clothing appeared, hanging on my door delicately. The shoes appeared on the floor under them. When the woman stepped away, I made her disappear, then as I stood the chair disappeared and reappeared where it belonged by my desk. I looked at the clothing carefully, then blinked my eyes and I was wearing the clothing. The pajamas I was wearing the night before were hanging gently on the coat hanger. I turned and looked in the mirror, and instantly eye liner, mascara, and some eye shadow appeared on the eye-area of my face. I smiled at my reflection, but then tilted my head. Something was missing. I made red earrings appear on my ears, but something was still missing. I smiled and barely touched the soft cloth of my halter top. A black raven pin appeared on the right corner, between the part that covered my chest and the part that went to the side of my neck. "Hmm…" was all I said and it turned into a fabric patch. I smiled, satisfied. I then turned towards the door as it opened for me. I walked out to find Nivis waiting for me.
"You're abusing your power you know." Nivis said in a slightly worried voice.
I rolled my eyes, "Why not have fun? It's not like I'm going to run out of power."
She followed me to the kitchen and mumbled, "You don't know that."
I chose to ignore her and walked into the kitchen, "Hi Nathan. Great morning-" I stopped walking as I saw the girl with blond hair sitting at the table. She was eating some eggs, and seemed to not notice me. "Who is that?"
"The girl you almost hurt last night." Nathan said as he walked past me.
I frowned, "She was breaking into the house! Why didn't you call the cops, or something like that?"
"She's a fan of mine. Registered as the number two fan. I'm not going to call the cops on her just because she wants her favorite idol to be an idol again."
I groaned in annoyance and sat at the table, but I made sure I sat at the chair on the opposite side of the blond haired girl.
"I'm really sorry about that, ma'am. I just wanted to get to Nathan-"
"How do you know his name?" I snapped.
"Um, well he was the lead singer of -"
"Whatever. I already know." I looked away from her as Nathan set a plate of eggs in front of me.
"You're girlfriend has awesome clothes." The girl told Nathan with a smile.
I mumbled, "I'm not his girlfriend."
Nathan suddenly sighed. "Can't you just lose the attitude? You're usually so cheery about things-"
"I don't feel good." I said softly and picked up the fork to fool around with the food.
Nivis walked up and whispered something into Nathan's ear. He looked at her with disbelief, then looked at me. He squared his eyes at me, but the girl interrupted his thoughts, "So, Nathan, as I was saying, I really wish you would join with the band again. I've already talked to them. They'd love to have you back-"
"Of course they would!" Nivis said in a cheery voice; the same voice she had when I had first met her. "Nathan is amazing." She elbowed Nathan, "You should listen to her. It would be a great stress reliever."
Something about the happiness in Nivis's voice made me not want to be angry anymore. I sighed and looked up, "Sorry about last night. I mean, it was rather suspicious but I'm sorry I almost hurt you. I was just scared you; well not you but the thought of someone hurting anyone in the house scared me-"
"It's alright." The girl with blond hair smiled, "it's understandable. I was at the wrong anyways." She giggled a bit and I couldn't help but to smile.
I looked to Nathan, "You should rejoin the band."
"Kristin, you know why I can't rejoin-"
"Why not?" the fan girl cried out. "Every fan that loves you; we all want you back! You were our inspiration, our hope, the only reason I stuck through school was because we had chances to get free tickets to your concerts! Please-" she stood up and had tears in her eyes, "please Nathan!"
He brought a hand to his forehead and turned and left the room. I watched him but looked back to the fan girl as she sat back down, trying not to cry. I wanted to use my power to make her happy, but I knew I couldn't. The world wasn't ready to know about us yet. I finished my eggs in the silence; Nivis joined us in the delicious breakfast. I was the one who collected the dishes and brought them back to the kitchen. I cleaned them using my power after being sure the girl wasn't following me. I came back out to find Nathan talking to the young girl; Nivis motioned for me to meet her in the living room.
"What's been going on, Mag?" Nivis asked after she was sure Nathan and the girl weren't paying attention to us in the other room.
"What do you mean?"
She lowered her voice, "Nathan told me of how you wanted to destroy something during training, you created a dagger to attack that girl-"
"Those two things have nothing to do with each other-"
"But I'm worried about you. I mean, to want to destroy something or attack someone who may be innocent is the thinking of-"
"Silence." I said and she froze, not being able to speak. "I know you are worried, I can sense it. I am fine, Nivis, believe me. If anything serious happens then I'll let you and Nathan speak of it. Alright?"
She nodded, knowing that speaking was out of the question at this moment. I waited for a moment then allowed her to be able to speak again.
She swallowed, "Your power is stronger for sure."
I nodded, "I know."
Nathan had asked the girl to leave the house, and she did. He had called his band friends, and they all agreed to meet at a coffee shop to discuss the situation. I could tell he wanted to join the band. I wanted him to be happy and so I felt no grudges against his decision. Nivis and I enjoyed ourselves at home, using my power. We were in the training room, and any movie we could think of I brought the characters to life to have some fun. After some time, we decided to have a party. But after some spoken thoughts from each other, we decided to have a ball. I used my power to light up the room with crystal chandeliers and created a band towards the corner of the room. They began playing an elegant song, and asked I Nivis what she wanted to wear. She laughed, "I've always wanted to wear the same dress Belle wore in 'The Beauty and the Beast'."
I smiled, "Alright." The dress appeared on her, and she just stared at it for a while. I created other people in the room, and they began dancing as well. I created many Disney characters, along with other princesses and princes from other shows. I smiled as I watched people dance by me; Odette from 'The Swan Princess', Ariel from 'The Little Mermaid', Cinderella, and Jasmine from 'Aladdin'. They all had the men the y loved with them, and I even created a handsome man to dance with Nivis. I created a dark blue ballroom dress for myself and allowed my hair to be twirled up and diamonds placed in my hair. I felt a diamond necklace form around my neck, white gloves appear on my hands, dark blue highheels surround my feet, and diamond earrings appear in my ears. I felt my make up change on my face and I smiled as the man I created came up to ask me to dance; Darien, from 'Sailor Moon'.
The ball was fabulous, and towards the end Nivis and I wanted a present day party. The former Disney characters we knew melted away into a crowed of rowdy, fun seeking teenagers, and the band melted into a band I once listened to; Avenged Sevenfold. As the song, "Seize the Day" played, we danced as if this were the first party we had ever been to. Leaving the fancy clothes, our clothing melted into dark colored clothing, to match the mood. The beautiful lights disappeared and red, blue, and yellow lights began shining light all around the room. The music was so loud the ground shook slightly. As the song ended, I created a DJ to play many different songs, which the next song that came on was "Low" by Flo Rida. Nivis and I forgot all about when Nathan would be returning home, and we didn't care. But when I felt his hands come up from behind me and grab my waist, I turned around as he planted a kiss on my lips. Because of my emotion, the song changed quickly to "Everytime We Touch" by Cascada. I heard Nivis giggle a little in the background, and I pulled away from Nathan's lips.
"I still want to dance." I said over the music and began jumping and twirling as the song's beat reverberated throughout the room, my heartbeat almost matching the beat of the song.
I laughed and laughed as the next song came on, "Barbie Girl" by Aqua. Nivis and I sung the lyrics playfully and Nathan laughed at our amazing acting skills. It was truly a night to remember.
AN: I hope you enjoyed this chapter. It is the longest I've written for this story so far. Oh, and the live band Mag uses - Avenged Sevenfold - is a band that Ali Wenstern loves. So yeah its like a little dedication to her. Go Ali! But the other three songs that are in the chapter, "Low", "Everytime" & "Barbie Girl" are songs I like. XOXO Please review!!
