[Meerclar's Children]



Sasha and Shymret had the same homeroom.
You guys! A voice clearly boomed in both their heads. It was obviuosly Mrikkin.
You will NEVER guess what just happened!
Uhrm...you stood on your head and burped the national anthem? Sasha's reply to everything.
No! No! MUCH BETTER! Ray...
Stood on HIS head and burped the national anthem? interrupted Sasha.
NO! Stop it! scolded Mrikkin. He asked me out!
There was a long silence.
That's good. said Shymret.
Yeah, that's good... Sasha paused. Are you sure he didn't stand on his head and...
NO! Shut up about that already! ARG! Is she always so stupidly hyper? asked Mrikkin.
She was like this BEFORE Allmother offered Shymret.
I supposed you're right. sighed Mrikkin.
I was not! Sasha argued in a British accent, as the bell rang for first hour.

School was over and the three were standing at their lockers. Ray snuck up behind Mrikkin and hugged her.
"Awww." Sasha and Shymret said in unison.
Ray looked up at the two.
"We know." giggled Sasha.

The day was over and everybody was going to sleep. Mrikkin, Sasha and Shymret wished each other good night. Mrikkin wished her beloved good night, although she knew he could not hear her.

Allmother appeared to Ray in his dreams.
"My child," She said, "you have proven to win the heart of my Mrikkin."
"Your who?"
"I grant you the art of shape shifting, the element of air and telepathy."
"but...what?" stuttered Ray.
"However, if your love proves unworthy or untrue, your powers will be revoked and you will not remember ever having them."
"Why?"
"I shall call you Larin." and with those words, Allmother left.
Ray woke up confused, and passed it off as a weird dream.

Next morning, Larin looked for someone at school to tell his strange dream to. He found Sasha first. He snuck up on her and put her in a headlock.
"Well good morning to you too, Ray."
"How'd you know?"
"Do I have to answer that question?"
"Must you answer a question with a question?"
Sasha chuckled, "So what do you want?"
"What makes you think I want something?"
Sasha looked at him.
"Well, actually, I had this really weird dream."
"Oh really? Do you want me to bring my dream dictionary?"
"No, I just need to tell someone."
"Uhrm...okay."
"You're into this kind of stuff."
"I suppose."
"Okay, well, this lady showed up and told me I had won the heart of her Mrikkin and that she granted me the element of air and tele...uhm something or other."
"Telepathy?"
"Yes. That's it. She also said she'd revoke my powers if my love proved untrue and she called me Larin."
Mrikkin! Get down here now! Ordered Sasha.
Coming mother Mrikkin mocked.
Oh trust me, it's worth it!
"Well Larin. Welcome to the family."
"What?! What are you talking about?"
Mrikkin walked up and the two hugged. "So what's up?"
"Well, Mrikkin..."
Mrikkin glared at Sasha for using her name that Allmother gave her.
"Meet Larin." she finished ignoring the glare.
"WHAT? Could someone please tell me what is going on?!"
"Yeah, what's going on?" questioned Mrikkin.
Larin told Mrikkin about his dream. She was shocked.
"But...wait...why...?" Larin stuttered.
There's really no explination. Mrikkin sent Larin.
"Why are you in my head?!" he asked frantically.
"It's a gift," Sasha said calmly, "it's completely normal."
"NORMAL? It feels too weird."
"Try it." replied Sasha.
Testing...one, two, three. he sent to Sasha.
Good, now try to send to Mrikkin.
Who?
Julie.
Okay...here goes.
Larin concetrated. I love you.
Mrikkin smiled and looked at Sasha.
"Don't look at me...I wasn't listening." Sasha grinned.
"Yeah right," muttered Mrikkin.
"Who else has this power?" whispred Larin.
"You, me, Sasha and Shymret." replied Mrikkin.
"Shymret?"
"Katie Holso," Sasha said.
"Uhrm. Okay. Is this some kind of elaborate nightmare?"
I'm afraid not, we will leave you alone for a while. Mrikking shifted her attention to Sasha. Let's go.

"Okay," he said as he approached Mrikkin and Shymret, "So, I have powers..." he paused.
"Yeah," they nodded in unison.
"And y'all have powers."
"Have you been talking to Sasha?"
"Uhrm...yeah...but WHY ME?"
Sasha walked towards the group.
"Hi y'all," Sasha giggled, "Anyone up to a meeting?"
"Uhrm...we're meeting now aren't we?" asked Ray.
"Well, yeah...but this is school." Sasha replied.
"Very good!" Mrikkin mocked.
Sasha glared at her, "Nevermind."
Mrikkin ignored it. "We shouldn't have to go to school. We should be able to go to a school where we can practice our powers." Everyone agreed.
"And...YEAH!" Sasha added.
Well I gotta go. Sent Shymret to everyone.
"I have got to get the hang of this," muttered Larin, "it feels really weird."
"Yeah, well, I gotta go too. I've got a huge math assignment," Sasha groaned, "homework," she muttered, "on a bloody weekend."
Larin and Mrikkin chuckled as Sasha and Shymret left.
"We should probably leave too." Mrikkin admitted.
She hugged him and they parted ways.
You'll get the hang of this, she sent him, we all did. And so will you.
I hope so he replied.
