Myrnin's POV
I have finished feeding my pet when I hear footsteps and a heartbeat coming closer. Then a little girl appears.
"Hello. Who might you be?" I asked curiously.
"Sarah Jane. Who are you?" She asked. I remembered a time when I was in a Meeting with Amelie and Michael came in. He said Sarah Jane.
"Are you the child from the Court room?" I asked.
"I was small then. Everyone was just discovering about me." She said.
"My my you do grow fast. How old are you now?" I asked. She seemed to be only a baby a few days ago.
"5." She said. "But I guess my body hasn't caught up with my age." She said.
"5 years? How long ago was you an infant?" I asked. 5 years have not passed; or maybe they have I just haven't been paying attention.
"About a week and 5 days." Sarah Jane said. She shrugged. "Give or take."
I blinked. "You do grow fast."
"What's your name?" She asked.
"Myrnin, my dear. I am a friend of Amelie's." I said bowing slightly.
"Wow. I know her! She's my mom. She found me one day on her doorstep and took care of me. She's very nice." She said. I didn't say anything for a moment then cleared my throat.
"So your her daughter in a way?" I asked. She nodded. "Right... She never told me that." Come to think of it she never tells me anything. "Well would you like to see my pet?" I asked. Sarah Jane nodded. I went to go and fetch him. I came back amd she was looking at the beakers. "Here." I said. She looked up and jumped.
"Oh my god... Um... I don't really like them. To be honest with you. They are the demon back where I live." She said backing away.
"The demon?" I asked quite confused.
"Yes. They eat us and once made us slaves. My people defeated them though. They are not around anymore." She said.
"I have never heard that tale, my dear. Here just hold him; he's not a demon." I said taking a step towards her. A flash momentarily blinded me and my pet had gone. I looked for my pet everywhere then found my pet barely alive. I put my pet back in the cage.
I came back out. "What was that?!"
"I am sorry I was scared. I didn't mean to. Sometimes I get scared and stuff happens." Sarah Jane said. I blinked away the after image once it had gone I stepped up to her.
"Can I see?" I asked for her hand. She held her hand out and a red sparking ball of what I could call power appeared. I touched it and it disappeared. I held my arm. It hurt.
"Where are you from?" I asked.
"A distant planet. I guess they wanted to protect me so they brought here." Sarah Jane said.
"Which planet?" I asked curiously.
"I don't know... Exactly. We travel." Sarah Jane said. "I do remember just do not know the name. I don't think it has a name."
"So you came here?" I asked.
"It's isolated." She shrugged and went to look around.
"Yes it is. One moment." I said going to another part of my lab. I looked at my arm to see what was causing the pain but there was nothing there. Just slight blood specs from somewhere I can't remember. I ripped open my sleeve and there is this strange symbol with circles and wavy lines and dots. I don't recognise it but it must have happened when I touched the power ball. I got a knife and sliced open my arms on the symbol and blood poured out then healed. The symbol stayed intact. "Oh my..." I said to myself. I also noted my blood was a little lighter. I sliced my arm again. The blood poured out dark then went lighter and the symbol stayed intact. I sighed and went out to the little girl.
"Sarah Jane was it?" I asked.
"Yes. You have nice equipment here. Where did you get it from?"
"Well I borrowed it and some I brought. Not many... May I see your arm?" I asked.
"Why?" She asked.
"I just want to see something don't worry." I reassured her. I held out her arm and pulled up her sleeve. She had the symbol but with a different design.
"It's on everyone that's like me. It identifies or does something. I think it is to prove that I am not from this planet." She said.
"I already knew that." I smiled slightly ran a finger down her arm. It was smooth not like those inky things humans seem to be into. "Thank you. I just need to go somewhere. Please don't break anything?" Sarah Jane nodded eagerly.
"Of course." She said. I nodded and ran out to Claire's house.
I banged on the door. A few seconds of no-one coming I banged again. "Claire! I need to talk to you!" I shouted. The door opened. "Can I come in?" I asked the blonde boy forgetting his name.
"Why?" He asked.
"I need to talk to my assistant!" I said hurriedly.
"It's fine, Michael. Uh come in Myrnin." I pushed past Michael and dragged Claire into the kitchen and closed the door.
"Have you heard of a little girl called Sarah Jane?" I asked.
"Yeah we had to babysit her. Don't bring her around her she won't stop crying." She said.
"Well you don't have to worry about that she's 5 now but I asked her to conjour up what she did in my lab and I may or may not have touched it and now look!" I said pulling up my sleeve and showing the symbol.
"Whoa." Claire said touching the intricate patterns. "When did this appear?"
"After I had maybe touched her little power thing. Then my arm started to hurt and my blood is getting lighter." I said.
"Its not actually your blood though." Claire said. I rolled my eyes.
"No time to get technical now! Look!" I grabbed a knife and sliced my arm and Claire gasped and covered her mouth.
"Myrnin don't do that! I don't want blood all over the floor!" She said. I sighed.
"Look." I sliced my arm again and dark blood came out then went lighter. "My blood is getting lighter and the symbol stays the same." I said.
"Right. Um... Maybe you should ask her about it? Does she have the same as you?" Claire asked.
"Yes she has the same but a different pattern. What are you doing?" I asked.
"Getting water. I need it." Claire said. I sighed.
"Well could you be of any help?" I asked.
"Well I could try looking it up but I doubt the Internet will be of any use." Claire said.
"Well of course not, the Interweb is new. Books have been around for centuries. Look it up in them." I said.
"Internet. And it is of some use." Claire said.
"Anyway I need to go back to her I left her in my lab." I said.
"You left her alone?! She could have accidentally set fire to herself or the place!" Claire said.
"Oh hush she is more intelligent than that." I said dismissing her. "Bye!"
"Myrnin!" Claire called but I had already closed the door. She opened it. "I need a picture of it."
"Whatever for?"
Claire sighed. "So I can look it up."
"How will you do that?" I asked. Claire took my arm and using her techie thing made a picture.
"Okay bye." Claire closed the door. I will never understand that device. But anyway I need to speak with the child's mother.
Founder's Square
"I demand to see Amelie." I said to her receptionist.
"I'm sorry she is busy." She said.
"It's important!" I said.
"So is her work. She is with someone you will have to wait." She said.
"I am more important." I said.
"Sit down." She said.
'Amelie! I need to speak with you!" I shouted.
"Sit down now!" The receptionist said.
"It's fine Bizzie. Come in stop making so much noise. " Amelie said. I smiled and went in. That always worked. Inside the one who Amelie was 'busy' with is at her desk.
"Hi Ollie." I said.
"Go away." He said.
"Aww why? You do like my company." I said.
"Don't start. What do you want, Myrnin I'm busy." Amelie asked standing by her desk.
"What were you busy with?" I asked smirking at Oliver.
"Myrnin. Tell me now or leave." Amelie said.
"You do like my company don't you?" I asked Oliver patting him. A sharp pain and a crack sounded. "OW! Amelie, Oliver broke my wrist!"
"Serves you right." Oliver said getting up amd going over to the window. "Don't touch me again."
Amelie sighed. "You'll survive. Now what do you want." She asked.
"Punish him. He injured your dear friend." I said my wrist healed but it still hurt.
"I will punish you if you don't leave." Amelie said.
"Okay okay. Well you know your daughter..." I began.
"What about here?" Amelie asked. I could tell she stiffened. Even Oliver looked over. Nothing much interested him.
"Well she almost killed my pet and I asked her to produce what she did and I may or not not have touched it and now something happening." I said.
"Like what?" Amelie asked.
I pulled up my sleeve to show her the symbol. "Its bigger." I said. Amelie stared down at the pattern.
"Where is she now?" Amelie asked not saying her name but I knew who she meant.
"At my lab. She seems perfectly comfortable." I said. Amelie ran a finger down the pattern.
"You had said it had gotten bigger." She said.
"Yes it was much smaller before." I said.
"Have you told anyone?" Oliver asked.
"I told Claire." I said. Oliver scoffed.
"What will she do about it?" He asked.
"Well ... she could explain why it's spreading." I said.
"Your infected. Thats why it's spreading." Oliver said.
"No I meant it has spread to you." I said. Amelie looked up at Oliver and he frowned then looked at his arm.
There was the symbol.
