ability).
THE INTRODUCTION Chapter Four
I woke in the morning with the sunlight shining into my eyes. "Argh!" I groaned as I rolled over. That was the worst way to wake up. The worst. It made you feel like you were blind.
Looking around, I looked at my alarm. My attention had been riveted to it, because, for some reason, although it was summer, I had set it for seven. It was blaring beeping noises which annoyed me to no end. I pointed it off. Why on earth would I want to wake up at seven in the middle of summer? Then my eyes fell on the bookmarked book that I had set aside last night. "Oh yeah!" I jumped up out of bed and opened the book, "Sweet!" The pictures and information were still there. I hit the button that said 'print' in the corner of the page, and then, through the binding, out came a hard-copy of the information, complete with pictures and all. "Awesome!"
Folding the paper in two I grinned. Sometimes having powers really came in handy. Then I frowned; there were some limitations however. Like, I couldn't bring anyone back from the dead, I couldn't time travel on my sole powers, I couldn't really alter my situation (though in class, trust me, I tried); these are just a few of many things. Though, unlike the TV show 'Sabrina' I could zap in any name brands I wanted. "Woohoo!"
Zapping into some capris and a tank top, I folded the paper in half once more, and shoved it into my back pocket. Brushing my hair, I dashed downstairs for breakfast. Pawing through the cabinets I looked for something suitable to eat. "Where are my froste.?" I heard someone giggling. Turning around, I gritted my teeth as I saw my brother pop the last morsel of frosted shredded wheat into his gaping mouth. "Urgghhh!!" Sure I could zap in some more, but that wasn't what mattered. It was the principal that counted.
Pointing at my brother, I zapped some tape onto his mouth. It wasn't just any tape either; duct tape was my tool. I grinned as his eyes widened. He reached up to his mouth to see how his situation was; it didn't look good. He'd either a)have a patch of raw skin where he ripped of the tape along with some extremely dry lips, b)have to walk around all day with tape on his mouth and get hungry, or c) wait until I zapped it off painlessly. Zapping in a pack of pop-tarts I grabbed 'em, grinned at my brother, and said "Have a nice day."
That had just made my day. See, if he were three years older, he could have zapped the tape off himself. Maybe. But he was only ten now, so he would have to wait. Stepping out of my door, I grinned as a fresh breeze blew along, making the heat a little more bearable. "Now to find Jake." Pulling the paper out of my back pocket, I looked for his address. This made me grin even more; he only lived about three-four minutes away from me. I quickly glanced at the other's addresses. Two of them lived really close to me as well, and one of them, a girl named Cassie, lived at the edge of town. The other three confused me. Tobias lived at 'The meadow', Aximili-Esgarouth-Isthill at 'The woods', and Visser Three lived at 'The Blade Ship'. I shrugged. I would deal with finding them later. First, Jake.
Setting off in the direction of his house, I walked leisurely along. Why rush? The day was beautiful, and I wasn't in a hurry. I glanced up at the sky, and saw a red-tail riding the thermals. Somewhere in my head I said, "Huh, I wonder if that's Tobias?" But that was just a thought. There were a few red-tails in this area, not one.
As I approached Jake's house, I began to get nervous. What if he hated me? What if he thought that I was evil? What if, what if, what it? So many what if's. I guess I just had to find out. Walking up his driveway, I noted no car in the driveway. Even though I was nervous, I was hoping he was home. Stepping up to his door, I reached a hand up and knocked.
CLIFFHANGER, EH? I LOVE EM!
