Chapter 5

We continued our training. I was doing really good with my new powers. This was a great job! This seems more than a job, it's a mission. We finished off with more practice, making use of all our new abilities. This week's pay was only $100. I still didn't have enough to at least rent a decent hotel room. I only had $423 on me. The room cost $162 a night! I decided to find a bank to put the money in. After work, May, Lilli, and I went to their bank. The bank they put their money in was called, "Contechnital Corp." It was a very nice bank. I registered myself for a new bank account.

After that, I went on my way with May to her house to sleep over again until I could at least rent a room or purchase a cheap house. Lilli decided to stay over also. We didn't talk much as we were exhausted from work that day.

After lunch the next morning, we went back to DACS for work. This time we were actually going to do something other than train.. O YES!... what a relief!

"Hey Sparkle, what do you think we will do at work today?" Lilli asked.

"Ermm... more training!! Ergh.. I want to be able to actually use my powers now! I'm READY!!" I answered, and they laughed.

"Hey, let's fly to DACS today! We do know how to fly now!" May exclaimed.

So we flew to DACS, (the Defence and Attack Combat Society.) We got there in only five minutes.

WE arrived to the room where we always met and Mr. Broon was there.

"Hello girls. ready for another day of work?!" Mr. Broon asked enthusiastically.

"Yes..." we all answered without any enthusiasm. We didn't seem to excited, since we were doing almost the same things everyday.

"Ok, today you girls are actually going to complete a simple mission," Mr. Broon said. Lilli butted in and commented.

"Well I hope we don't do those silly ' saving a cat from a tree' thing. I hate those things," Lilli said.

"No Lilli! Don't tell him that.. we might have to..." I pushed Lilli but got cut off and Mr. Broon continued what he was saying.

"No, no, no, you girls are going to do something much harder than that," Mr. Broon explained as he sat us down on the usual chairs. "..You girls will go to Gavalon, a city a couple miles downtown from here. You are going to give this box to a person named Nove. I'm not sure who this person is but he needed this package," Mr. Broon handed the box to Lilli. The box was as simple as it could get. It was square, and it was covered with plain brown paper, wrapped with a red ribbon. On the top, read in black was 'Plans.'

Mr. Broon continued, "You'll have to find him on your own, and go through his many obstacles throughout his area. Mr. Broon showed us maps and gave each of us one.

"What's this?" I asked.

"These are maps to guide you to his house. I hope you girls make it. Pass this mission, and you will get an award from me and an extra power. If you don't, you girls will, well, never come back."

I started to panic for a second, "So you mean to say, if we make it we'd be awarded, and if not, we die?!?!"

May laughed, "No silly! Broon will give us a different mission or have us train more! Right Mr. Broon?" May said.

"Well this is easy then!" Lilli said.

"Uh, not really. Well you girls better go now. He needs this package," Mr. Broon lead us out the room and out the building.

We decided we'd start the mission tomorrow. As we walked home, we decided to talk along the way.

Lilli shook the box, "What do you think is inside, Sparkle?"

"I dunno, maybe something top secret. We don't wanna blow this mission so don't open it! We might get paid enough that I can actually rent my own room now!"

"Aww, I thought you liked staying at my house! Maybe you should stay at Lilli's then if you want," May said sadly.

"No, it's just that you've done so much for me since I met you at Topsy Tea. I didn't even get a chance to find an apartment of my own. It's just weird that we're friends already, and that we actually trust each other," I sighed and just twirled my hair around my finger.

May didn't look too disappointed. "Hmm, ok then. We'll if you want, you can go to my house again for dinner. I'm extremely famished!"

The next day, we took the map and started flying through the city and made ourselves invisible so that no one could see us. We didn't want anyone to think that we were in danger.

We went through some weird obstacles on the map. We fought a whole bunch of robots. There were robot frogs, and robot children falling from broken-down buildings on fire. I can't explain all the details because it was all just so unusual. All the city people around us didn't even notice us or the robots. I felt something was wrong. The people of Jesimay didn't even notice the robots. Most of them walked right through us! Something didn't feel right.

The robot frogs were really the only ones trying to get us. They kept trying to get a hold of us and kill us or something. We of course zapped them, moved them with our telekinetic powers, and other power stuff.

Finally we arrived at a secret building. It looked broken down, dead, and haunted. I was a small house, a brown shingled house, that had bugs crawling all over it. It seemed like it was the darkest house on the street even though it was daylight. The trees had no leaves and they seemed dead too. A big spider jumped on my head and I shrieked. Lilli took it off my head and stepped on it.

May screamed, "Gross!! Look at it's green organs!"

"Euewww!! The guts on my shoes!! Come on... let's just find Nove, or whoever this person is. This is disgusting!" Lilli looked disgusted and rubbed the guts off her shoes with one of the dead tree's twigs.

"There's something about that name that gets me," I commented as we walked up the front sidewalk. The name did sound slightly familiar.

"Ok, who's ringing the doorbell? I'm NOT doing it!" May said, as we stepped back from the door, offering Lilli to open it.

This house seemed to creepy and the doorbell was crooked. "Are you sure this is the right house Lilli?" I asked nervously.

"Yes, Sparkle.. erm... FINE! I'll ring the doorbell... you babies," Lilli said.

The doorbell rang and through the door came just a shadow with bright red eyes. It was tall, dark, and a low women's voice answered.

"Thank you girls. I'll be use to tell Michael Broon you girls came. Now beat it," the shadow slammed the door as she took the package from Lilli. We left the neighborhood and went on our way home for dinner again.

Supper came and I kept quiet and thought about the name. "Hey guys, do you know what?" I whispered, "I think that person we delivered the package to is NOVENA. The person who killed my parents! I think she's after me!" I whispered tot them incase there were some of her spies around listening to us.

"What? Why? You mean Nove?" Lilli asked.

"Well the reason why I came here is to get away from Faerieland where Novena wanted to take over our planet and get rid of all fairies that exist!"

May looked surprised. "Nove.. Novena.. woah! I should have known... so she's after you because you're a fairy? Why does she want to get rid of all fairies?" May asked.

"I dunno guys. She's just evil. That's the way she is. Well see, she killed all the creatures that make Faerieland alive. She hates us, the fairies, and wants us dead. She's was the one who destroyed my home, family, and friends. I have no one at all except you two! I'm a fairy! Unlike you guys!!" I sobbed, and threw my bread across the table.

"Aww.. man, maybe this job is a hoax!" May said.

"Hmmm, this job at DACS is too good to be true. Hmmm...," Lilli put her fork down and just thought.

I looked up, and felt angered at this. "That's what I've been saying all along! I think I'll just quit the job. Look, I don't see any other people around Jesimay who have powers like us. I'm afraid to die.... yet I want to! I miss my family and my own people!" I broke down and cried more. I couldn't help myself. No one said a word after that and we all just continued eating.

The next day we stepped into the chairs again and we got an extra power. This time we all got the same power, which was to speak to each other without moving our mouths or making sounds. It was hilarious because May kept thinking about how ugly Mr. Broon's hair was today. We laughed to ourselves. I've always wondered what they were thinking. We each got a certificate for completing the mission.

Suddenly, a thought popped into my mind, how the strange shadow had the familiar voice. My mind just started hurling and I felt dizziness at that moment we were at the strange shadow's house. Suddenly.. *FLASH!* I started visioning the screams, the horrors of faces among Faerieworld; the time I was only 12 years old, evil lurking onto the lives of our people, and mother... I love mother dearly. And...*Flash*

I was back to reality. I just had a flash-back. I was daydreaming too after accepting the certificate from Mr. Broon. I felt that I shouldn't be here. I felt something wrong was going to happen. My insides had a strange feeling, that evil would come to Jesimay in search of me of other faeries. But why me?
