It's too late to say anything. Just read the story.
(Though, this is another test to see if Midnight is alive ^_^)
Oh, and to the newbies...um...read the note at the end...or something...
Chapter 10
*I can't believe mom and dad are still doing that exchange student program,*
Felix thought. *I mean, c'mon, like we have room! Well, at least Jenna's going
and not me. I don't even want to see much of the guy, much less be there to
greet him.*
The phone rang. Felix picked it up before it could make the annoying noise
again. "Yeah, what?"
"Felix, is Jenna there?" Garet asked.
"Yeah, just sec," he covered the mouth piece with his hand. "Yo, Jenna! It's
your boyfriend!"
Jenna came into the hall and grabbed the phone. "Garet! What was that all
about? You hang up on me, and then you call me again? And what was that thing
on the news? Who were those people?"
Felix could hear some indistinct mumbling from Garet.
"You want to know where Isaac lives?" her eyes widened. "Why? Garet, what's
going on?"
More mutterings, before Jenna finally agreed and started yelling. "Mom! Where
do the Glens live now?"
Felix stole the phone from her. "Garet, I don't know where they live, but I can
give you a number."

Isaac had gone numb. After sitting on the couch for…a few minutes? A few
hours? He wasn't really sure. He had decided to try cleaning up a bit, but
despite his efforts the dirt from the potted plant was still a dark spot on the
carpet, and the floor was still littered with bits of paper and other various
items.
That was how Kraden found him.
"Isaac?" the old man pushed open the door. He glanced around the room, then
kneeled in front of Isaac and began shaking his shoulders gently. "Isaac?
Isaac, what happened? Where's your mom?"
Isaac looked up at him, then pointed dumbly towards his mother's room. Kraden
followed his silent direction, leaving him to uselessly shift through the soil.
The phone rang. It didn't register for a minute, then he stood and walked on
shaky legs to the kitchen and picked up. "Hello?"
"Isaac, I need you to tell me your address," Garet told him. "Right now."
"Alex is a Mercury Adept, right?" Isaac asked softly.
"Yeah, but-"
"It's number 42," Isaac replied, barely able to hear himself.
"Number 42?"
"Of Ontario District Apartments."
There was silence for a minute. "Isaac, is everything alright?"
"Tell Alex to get here fast, and…that I think I believe him," Isaac hung up the
phone.
Isaac," Kraden had returned to the living room. "We need to call the hospital.
Your mom might not make it if we don't."
Isaac kept his hand over the receiver. "No, we don't."
****
Alex sprinted through the hall and into the tiny living room. "Did he say what
happened?"
"No, he just said to get here fast!" Garet, who was just behind him, replied.
Sheba had already reached the front door. "Hurry up, you two!"
"Some of us aren't Jupiter Adepts here, you know!" Alex replied.
They came into Isaac's tiny apartment building to see Isaac arguing with an
older man.
"Isaac, she needs a doctor!"
"No she doesn't!" Isaac replied. He turned to see Alex. The anger on his face
faded to an expression of pleading. "Alex…it's my mom…you have to help her…"
He didn't wait for a reply, merely turned and walked down the hall. Alex
followed him, noticing the message burned into the door in passing.
*She…already got here? Oh god…*
Isaac's mother's room showed evidence of an Inferno attack. The woman herself
was lying on the floor, taking shallow breaths.
Alex ignored whatever Isaac had started saying, and the fact that Sheba, Garet,
and the old man had followed them. He knew that Isaac's mother was in pain, he
could feel it, the burns on her skin and her heat seared lungs…
He kneeled next to the prone form, held his hands over her, and whispered.
"Pure Ply."
Tiny blue sprites made of pure light shimmered above the woman, light made
liquid dripping from their translucent wings and tiny hands onto her body. The
light spread from where her heart was, engulfing her.
After a moment the light faded, and died. The sprites disappeared in a shower
of azure sparks.
"She'll be okay," he turned to Isaac. "She just needs some sleep."
"Wh-who are you people?" the old man whispered.
****
"Excuse me."
Jenna looked up from the magazine she was reading.
"Would you be Jenna Hunter?" a young man with blue hair and yellow eyes speaking
in a soft accent asked her.
"Yes, you must be Leon Dannehl," she stood quickly. "It's great to meet you."
"It's good to meet you," he smiled. "I'm glad that your family is letting me
stay with you."
******
Yeah...um..."Leon" is the name that Nintendo was originally going to change
Picard's name to. Wait..he's...::mumbles to herself about being strong and
going with the flow:: ..."Piers" ::shudder:: now, but I will always call him
Picard! ^_^ And if you're wondering about "Leon", it'll be explained later...
