"I can't believe they took Elladan and Elohir out!" Kelly whined as she and her best friend Amanda walked out of the theater.
"Yea but Legolas was even hotter in this movie then the other two!" Amanda said as she took her black curly hair outta its ponytail. "Ugh that popcorn made me sick...No DDR today" she said clutching her stomach. She threw the bag of popcorn into the nearby trashcan.
"Yea your right... I ate too much" Kelly said stretching her arms.
"Hahahaha! I never thought I'd hear that coming from your mouth! You're a bottom-less pit!" Amanda laughed. Kelly glared at her best friend as they walked out of the mall. Grabbing her keys outta her bag, they walked over to Kelly's '66 mustang convertible.
"Hey baby how've you been? No one dinged you did they?" Kelly cooed to her beloved auto.
"Kel, Hun...you're really started to scare me with that..."Amanda teased as she got into the car. "That and parking so freaking far away..."
"Hey be quite you...It took a lot of time and money to get this car looking like this and if you want rides for the rest of the year...shut your yap" Kelly said angrily as she started the engine. As Kelly drove through the mall parking lot Amanda opened the glove compartment. As she does the Elvish to English dictionary falls out onto her lap.
"Honestly Kel...you are OBBSESED!" Amanda giggled as she turned on the radio. As they came to a stop light Kelly stripped out of her long sleeved- pullover to reveal a light blue tank top. "Thank god summer's coming (AN: I know it came out in the winter {well we could be in the southern Hem. And it would be summer there} so sue me...wait don't...I don't have any cash) Amanda smiled as she unzipped her jacket. Kelly reaches over and turns up the radio. "Lady Marmalade" blasts through the speakers. As the girls began to sing along another car pulled up beside them. Amanda nudged Kelly.
"Looks like we've got an audience" Amanda giggled, nodding over to the car of guys. Kelly glanced over at the car. She took in the supped up Audi, and clucked in disgust.
"Fast and the Furious wannabe" She mumbled as she looked at the driver. He smiled at her and revved his engine. "Oh no you didn't" Kelly growled "you did NOT just insult my car with your piece of shit on wheels" Amanda laughed as Kelly revved her engine in acceptance.
They both watched as the adjacent light turned from green to yellow to red. Kelly quickly shifted into first as the light turned green. Both cars sling shoot out of their idle. Shifting quickly into second and then third as each stage hit its limit, Kelly looked over to find the guys just barely holding there own. She caught the eyes of the other driver and she smirked. He raised an eyebrow at her and she laughed, cranking the volume up louder the girls sang along to the lyrics. Carefully Kelly let the guys slowly inch farther so that they had caught up.
"Voule vous cuch Avec Moi se swole" The girls sang loudly laughing at the implications. Amanda watched as the evil glint of excitement and victory came into Kelly's eyes. She turned her head back to the other car and yelled
"See ya later boys!" She then sang "Creo lady Marmala-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a- aade" Kelly pressed the Turbo, making the world around them blurred. Kelly's senses sharpened. Her eyes darted back and forth watching for any danger that a car might pull out. Quickly she released the turbo as she saw a light begin to change. Putting on her brakes she came to a halt just as the light turned red. She exhaled not knowing that she was holding it.
"You know that's kinda freaky how you know when things would happen like that" Amanda said referring to the light. "Guys never learn do they?" She laughed. Kelly smirked and pulled in to the Barns and Nobles parking lot. "But what a thrill that is!" Amanda said as she hopped out of the car. "Thanks for the lift"
"No prob, gotta go visit the elder now" Kelly said. Amanda smiled as Kelly drove off, and then waved as Kelly held up her hand in adieu. After ten minutes of driving Kelly reached the olden home. As she parked the car and pulled the keys, she took a deep breath and stepped out of her car. Stretching she began to walk toward the entrance.
Abruptly she looked up, her whole body suddenly ridged, she saw a flowerpot falling and quickly moved her arms up to shield herself. Squeezing her eyes shut she unexpectedly felt something warm sweep though her. Gasping in shock she opened her eyes to see the flowerpot just inches above her arms. Her eyes widened as she quickly grabbed at the pot and looked around her. She spotted as older woman in a window.
"Are you alright dear?" she asked as she peered down at her.
"Yes, I'm fine Edna" Kelly called back. Walking into the main doors, she looked around until she spotted a man with jet-black hair.
"Hey john" she called, catching the young man's attention "bring this to Edna on B7?"
"Certainly Kel" John said as he took the plant from her. "Sorry I cant chat, boss is in a bad mood...again" Kelly smiled Jacob was ALWAYS in a bad mood, "I'll see you later" John said with a wave and walked to the elevator doors. Kelly turned and walked in the opposite direction, down a long hallway until she stopped in front of a door labeled "Lillian Caswell" Knocking on the door she heard a muffled
"Come in" As she walked into the room the cent of the elderly seemed to stop and an assault of roses invaded her scenes.
"Hello Great-Grandmother!" Kelly said to the woman sitting in the rocking chair. The elderly woman had a small frame, with long flowing white hair. Her stature portrayed her age of a hundred and two but her eyes; they held the liveliness of someone a quarter her age.
"Kelly! My dear, How are you?" Came her clear lively voice. "I'm doing alright great grandmother" Kelly said as she sat on the bed. "How you doing cooped up with all these old people?"
"It happened again didn't it?" Lillian asked, ignoring the question. Kelly groaned and flopped backwards onto the bed.
"Is it that visible?"
"To me it is dear" the older woman said with a smile
"Why do I have to deal with this?!" Kelly exasperated. "I just wanna be normal! I don't want to set off an hour a day for meditation! I don't wanna worry about hurting people pr animals or property, I don't-"
"Are you finished?" came Lillian's perturbed voice.
"Sorry great-Grandmother"
"Now, the magic in our blood skips a fourth generation, and in turn is given only to the first born girl, for some reason your older half sister did not receive the mage blood, but you my dear did, and your more powerful then I was twice your age. You'll never be normal my dear you'll have to deal with that. Besides" she said on a lighter note "what IS normal? Wasting your life away in front of a screen?" Kelly sat up and sighed. "Now" Lillian said as she stood and opened a drawer. "Since you are now eighteen years of age I believe that it is time you received this" Kelly looked up to see a delicate necklace in her Great-Grandmothers hands. Its silver chain glinted as though happy to see her. From it hung a stone, polished and beautiful. It was so deep it seemed to hold something in its depths. Entwining it was a quaint vine, which almost looked alive.
"What is it?" Kelly asked in awe.
"This is our family heirloom. The wielders of the blood seem to be able t activate the power that looms inside the stone." Lillian said as she placed the chain around Kelly's neck.
"Thanks great-grandmother, but I have to go, Karate is about to start and sensei will get angry with me" Kelly said as she headed out the door.
"Kelly!" came Lillian's voice; Kelly stuck her head back through the doors opening. "What ever you do, do NOT use your powers in front of anyone, people are scared of what they cannot comprehend, horrible consequences will follow you"
"I know great grandmother, see you in a few!" with that Kelly closed the door. She quickly walked out the main doors and out to the parking lot. Getting in her car she sighed, bringing her hand up to her chest she ran her fingers over the smooth surface of the stone. Deep inside she could feel its power stirring. She placed the keys in the ignition and took off down the road. Ugh I don't want to go to kendo today she thought as she began driving toward her school where she practiced martial arts. I'm too tired to fence; I just wanna go home and sleep. As she stopped at a light she heard her cell phone go off. Reaching behind her she grabbed it and opened it.
"Ello?" She asked.
"Hey Kel" Came a deep voice.
"Hey lovies how are ya? Ready for another vigorous I'll-whip-your-arse" she laughed as she balanced the phone between her ear and shoulder.
"Actually that's why I called, Sensei called me and told me that class is cancelled today"
"Oh" Yes!!! "Alright" Kelly said as she switched her phone to the other ear "thankies! Lots of lurve!"
"Bye Hun": click: As Kelly tossed the phone back into her bag she turned the car around. Well now I can go to my spot and get some reading done. As she pulled into an open lot she drove till she reached the shade of the willow trees. Pulling the keys from the ignition, she opened her glove compartment and pulled the Elvish to English dictionary out and tossed it into her bag. "God I love my necessary bag." She murmured as she pulled the large black purse out of the back. "Everything I'll ever need for five days all in one bag"
Lugging the bag out of the car she began to hike though the woods. Breathing in deeply she sighed happily. Nature always makes me feel great. As a smile crossed her face, Kelly broke into a run. She slowed as she reached her point of interest. The trees overhung a drop off; it faces a beautiful waterfall, which cascaded down into a clear blue pond. Looking around she realized that she was glowing from adrenaline. Frowning she began taking a deep breath in counting for seven, held it for seven, released it for seven then held it for seven; she then repeated the process until she calmed down. Breathing in the wonderful scent of the forest Kelly closed her eyes, feeling something warm inside her she began to sing.
"When the cold of winter comes,
Starless night will cover day,
In the veiling of the sun,
we will walk in bitter rain,
But in dreams,
I can hear your name
And in dreams we will meet again"
As she sang the words she opened her eyes and extended her arms outward. The wind began to pick up leaves, which swirled around her in different colors. She felt power begin to well up inside her, looking down she saw her heritage stone glowing brightly. But the warmth grew inside her and made her keep singing. Extending her arms upward she finished the song.
"When the seas and mountains fall,
and we come to endless day
In the dark I hear a call
Calling me there
I will go there
And back again" A leaf cut a crossed her face, breaking her from her trance. Her eyes grew wide with terror. "Stop! Halten! Matte!" she cried as she dug for her phone, all the while the wind swirled faster and faster. Finding her cell phone she pressed one then send. Automatically the phone dialed her great-grandmothers phone. The leaves began emitting light as the cell rang. Suddenly there was a burst of light as the tunnel of wind lifted Kelly. She screamed as her body burned bright white. And then there was nothing. The wind was gone, the noise was gone, and so was the girl.
Lillian looked at her called ID as her phone rang and the abruptly stopped. "So it has begun"
