''Prove it.'' Taylor said, eyes hard and focused. Waiting for me to show her what I can do. I started to sweat. I didn't know how to show her. Maybe I can show her Leadrieth? No, I don't think that would be a good idea with Taylor being mad at her. Maybe I can show her my cards? Though I don't think she would believe me. Is it possible to take her with me to the temple?
Shivers*
For some reason I don't think that would be a good idea for some reason. *Ahem*
Taylor coughed trying to get my attention. "If you aren't going to show me, then I'll force you." She said while bugs started to gather again and climb up to the ceiling in a scary way. Hundreds of bugs are there wiggling around.
"I'll show you, ok? Just wait.'' I raised my hand and picked a card. I pulled it out and showed it to her. The picture shows a robed woman casting a magic circle towards another hooded woman who's spell is exploding at her. The back of the card is the Temple. The words written is Disrupt Magic - cancels the persons next attack. Cost : 1 charge.
She didn't look impressed, as she said ''So what you just make cards? That's it?''
''No I can use them too. Each card has a special effect and it cost me to use them. I dont know what they are, but I call them light spheres because that's what they look like to me.''
''So what, this card can cancel an attack from anyone?'' Taylo said confused, wanting more information of how my power works. ''Can anyone use it or just you only?''
''I think its just me, since there is a cost invovled you see?" I said pointing at the bottom part of the card where the cost area is at.
''Can you make other things then this?" She asked thinking up ways it could be useful in a cape battle.
''Yeah, I think so.'' Thinking of Leadrieth and the others. 'Should I tell her about you guys or not?'
'Not just yet, to be on the safe side. Keep us a secret Master.' said Daisae.
No, she could be an enemy.' Leadrieth said not happy.
'We dont know her motives or if she is even a hero.' said Melissa and Crellonia agrred with her.
'If you want to master. It is up to you.' said Cathetel content with whatever his desicion would be.
Crellonia just stayed quiet think. "I think so, but it takes time for me to think of what to make and how powerful they would be. I might not be able to make powerful things." I sighed frustrated. ''I just got the power and I don't know what I'm doing. I was thinking of asking you for help."
I sighed and sent all the bugs away. Neo looks so hopeful when he said that. I couldn't stay mad at him, for that. I wonder if he is hiding anything else; I wanted to ask him but thought better of it. I had secrets too. After all the bugs left, a thought hit me reminding me about that weird woman. "Who is that who- I mean woman? Why is she even here and in such clothing?''
''W-w-well she is...'' before Neo could finish his sentence, interupted him.
"I'm the new tentant, that's renting out his room. His dad had a sign out looking to rent it, two months ago, I think."
Leadrieth said stunning us. I looked to Neo wanting to ask him if it was true. He just nodded silently, relieved she didnt say anything embarassing or weird.
"Why are you wearing that then." I pointed towards her get-up. Leadrieth looking down at herself and up again facing me.
All she did was smirk as she put her arms on her hips and said teasingly, "Well Talie, its simple, I'm a supermodel. I'm trying on a costume for my photoshoot in a few days. I need a guy's opinion if I look like a sexy vampire queen or not." She winked and posed foward, putting her arms under her breast to make them jiggle. My eyebrow twitched when I saw him looking and she sent a smirked my way. Leadrieth thought, 'I would never allow anyone other than you look at me, master.'
"It's Taylor not Talie. I never seen you in a catalog before, so that means your not that pretty." I said snidely. Leadrieth frowned at that. She then had a grin on her face, before she switched it with a pitying look.
"Well, its not a little kids magazine. I'm talked for the adult kind, nothing like a little girl like you would undestand what I'm talking about. On the other hand," she said while sending a wink towards Neo, "Neo knows what I'm talking about, right?''
I frowned not happy being called a little girl as Neo flushed hard and stammered.
''N-n-n-no, I dont know w-w-what your t-t-talking about." He said looking away from us. I rolled my eyes not believing his terrible lie. Well, he is a guy and I accedently saw my dads stash when I was 6; I asked my mom why he has them, all she did was give me a spit take and stammered. She just took it and told me to not worry about it. Years later, I still shuddered at the memory of her yelling at dad for having it in an easy place for a curious kid to find. I still don't know why he hid it under his bed and I'm never asking, ever.
"Well whatever, I dont care. We'll talk more later okay? I have to go home now." I said looking at the clock. It was already late and my dad said he would be home early today to check up on me. I sent Neo a look saying we'll talk later. He nodded and I left but not before placing a few 'bugs' to listen in on them. As I left the house I heard Neo sigh and said, "Really? Why did you do that? I'm so embarrased. I don't know how I would face Taylor in school...''
"Really? Why did you do that? I'm so embarrased. I don't know how I would face Taylor in school or any girl. I told you to not come out of 'your' room." I said not happy at all. Maybe I should have summoned someone else instead.
Leadrieth pouted, ''I just wanted to help you know. I don't think you would have handled it any better without me." I flinched a little and looked away. I agreed with her but it stung a little. Everyone appeared thinking of what to do next.
''So what do you plan on doing next master? I want to continue what we were doing before we were rudely interrupted."
"Nope, not happening. Master needs his rest and we need to plan out how to help make the money he needs. Did you forget, Laedrieth?" Daisae said shooting down her plan. All Leadrieth did just huffed and looked away.
''Can't you steal the money from the gangs right, if your a cape?'' Melissa questioned.
I shrugged not possibly sure if its true or not. It's not posted on PHO and it would be taken down if it was true.Out loud I said, "It could possibly work, but we need to know where to find a base to stash our loot,equipment, how to use my power and make a costume. I don't want to be forced into a gang if I could help it."
"Why not just join the wards or the PRT? Wouldn't they be happy to have you join them, master?" Cathetel said innocently. I shook my head negative.
"I know that I'm not that knowledgable about capes, but I know there aren't many master capes in the Protectorate. There is alot of master capes that are villians and rogues. It doesn't paint a pretty picture of me summoning anything dangerous that could destroy things."
I looked to the ground and said, "I dont want you to be poked or podded if I join them and they might want to run tests and expeiments on us.'' I shivered imagining a sharp scapel cutting Cathetel and the rest open to see how they tick. I felt a hand land on my shoulder and it was squeezed softly. I looked up and saw Crellonia standing in front of me.
She said, ''If you don't want to join that's fine. It doesn't matter to me. You have us and maybe Taylor if she accepts, as teammates that would watch your back. You, Neo could possibly make anything that you set your mind to. Just believe in yourself and us. We would never let you down.''
I looked to the rest of them wanting to hear what their opinion is.
"It's obvious master, I won't let you down,'' Daisae said pleasantly.
''You can't get rid of me that easily, you know?'' Melissa said with a smirk.
''I just started to have some fun here master, don't give up just yet. I want to do more exciting things.'' Laedrieth said sensually.
"I'll protect you in the shadows. Nothing will harm you on my watch." Nilerea said vigilantly.
''I know I was just created today, but I trust you, master. I know you won't let us down.'' Cathetel said proudly with a beaming smile on her face. I felt something in my chest. It's a warm feeling that I hadn't felt in a long time, gratitude. I had a good feeling about this.
I said, ''I want to try something if it works which would be a good thing and would be easier to hide my identity." I closed my eyes and imagined a ring that would send out false data and protects my mind from thinkers if they focus on me. Hopefully, it would work since the Simurgh and other scary master villains are out there. I can feel something is happening the ring is getting easier to see as the 4 spheres are starting to disappear. I saw the card formed before I blacked out. Maybe I should have waited...
The undersiders lair 2 Months ago
"Tattletale, I sent you some files that I'm interested in to your computer. I want you to look up everything you can about these people. I want to know if they had a cluster trigger events or not. If not then well...I'll get creative." Coil said over the phone giving me a warning.
"Fine, I'll do it." I said not wanting my power to think about the threats he can make. Maybe they could help her escape from him, if they are capes. If not, then there's no point on hoping much.
Coil is intrested in the people. They were a surprise to him. Didn't have access to important data. Just found out by moles. Not happy with moles. Possible cluster triggers. Wants leverage if they are capes. Want to use them. Important to plan? No, just wants more disposable pawns on field. Will likely torture you for infomation, if he suspects...
Stopping that train of thought, I focused on the files. Lets see, there are five teenagers about my age, one is a boy and the other four are girls. Taylor Hebert, Emma Barnes, Takagi Ruka, Furuse Arei, Susan Duran, Eva Walter, Lillian James and Neo Anderson.
''Let's see what are you hiding, shall we?'' I said, out loud to myself.
