Raven of the night 676—Omigod! You're so nice! Thank you! I wasn't really sure if it WAS believable, but that was so nice of you to say it was!
Chapter Two
About an hour later Tara woke up. She stretched for a bit and checked on her "charges". Jeremy Markov was still "sleeping", and Kylie was on the family computer.
"Hey Kyls." Tara greeted her. "How you doin'?" Kylie looked up with a sheepish face.
"Alright. Thanks for actually caring." Kylie jerked her head in the direction of their father.
"Yeah. Who's on?"
"Um, Adam, Amanda, Johnny and some others. Same people I went out with earlier." A little howl sounded on the screen. "And a new person."
"What's it say?" Tara asked, the small print swimming before her tired eyes.
"Hey Kyl. Is Tara there?" Kylie grinned. "Hey, I've been on for awhile. You can go." She stood up out of the chair, grabbing a bottle of aspirin that was next to the computer. Tara sat down.
"Lemme sign on under my name." She typed. "Kylie had to go." At that a multiple number of screen names signed off. Kylie was the fun one. Tara signed back on as TerraQueenOEarth, Gavin's idea of a joke.

Tara stopped typing for a minute and focused her energy on the rock she moved up and down with her mind next to her. She sighed as it suddenly ducked left. She and Gavin seriously needed help.
No one knew for sure, but in preschool a little girl named Lindsay got sick. Tara and Gavin caught it, and it turned into a full-fledged virus. They were hospitalized, and were hooked up to IV's, the works.
A young assistant mixed up medicines between a 70-year-old with cancer and the two children. The chemotherapy mixed with the virus and they got instantly better, with geokinesis. The only difference was Tara's hands and eyes glowed yellow and Gavin's glowed green.
Gavin found a dump full of rocks that he and Tara would go to to practice. They had thought it was abandoned until the owners told them to get off. Gavin offered them their abilities to move heavy rocks in exchange of money. The owners didn't know how they moved them so well, but they continued to hire them. They had so much trust in them, they gave Gavin the only key, so they could come and go, recording when they came so they could get paid for how long they worked and how much they moved.
TerraQueenOEarth: Crap!
Tara heard a huge crash from the bedrooms. She sent the last message and ran down the hall to see who/what it was.
"Anita?" She heard in a mumbling voice. She glanced down at the master bedroom to see her dad sprawled across the floor staring at her. She kicked him in the shin. He was too wasted to even feel it.
"Asshole," she muttered before running back to the computer. There were about three messages from Geodude saying: "What the hell?" and "What's up!"
TerraQueenOEarth: collapse XP
Geodude: ouch 4 Jim
TerraQueenOEarth: as if I give a damn
Geodude: Rrow!
TerraQueenOEarth: Shuddup!
Geodude: (is hurt)
TerraQueenOEarth: (comfort)
Geodude: aww…
TerraQueenOEarth: (punches Gavin)
Geodude: (whimper)
TerraQueenOEarth: Aw…is the wittle baby hurt?
Geodude: (nods pitifully)
TerraQueenOEarth: lol
Geodude: Don't laugh me! (sobs)
TerraQueenOEarth: Aw…lol
Geodude: Fine! I won't go to work tomorrow.
TerraQueenOEarth: (cries) (brightens up) u can pick up my homework! ;)
Geodude: u no, I could always use some mo'
Tara paused, her hand poised over the keyboard as she heard a crash. "Fuck!" Kylie said. Tara sighed.
TerraQueenOEarth: brb
"Whazzup?" She leaned on Kyl's doorframe.
"I knocked over…some CD's." She stuttered, gesturing towards CD's all over the floor. She opened a pill bottle and took two. She shook her head violently. "Ahh…hey!" She looked at Tara as if seeing her for the first time. "Y'all should come with mah friends clubbin' on Friday!"
"You crazy! How many times do I tell you, I don't drink, smoke, sniff, club…"
" Have fun!" Kylie finished. "My God, it'll just be Adam, you, me, and you should ask Gavin to come!" Tara sighed. Maybe if she went with Gavin they could just lay low-key at whatever shady joint Kylie dragged them to.
"If we do, will you stay clean until…"
"Friday?" Kylie interrupted "Sure!" Tara thought that'd be a record for Kylie to be clean.
"Fine. Until then, no smoking, sniffing, ditching, drinking…"
"Yeah, yeah." Tara walked slowly back to the computer, but she wouldn't tell Gavin yet. He'd hate the idea.
Ok, next chapter done. Lame, I know. This is one of my worst fics. Everything doesn't click in the beginning, but hopefully it will clear up in the next coupla chapters.
Next Chap out on Thursday

"Wait, there are gay three-year-olds out there!" Me, when my mom the preschool teacher told me about two little boy ankle-biters in her class who can't seem to stop making out.
"I'm not ever going to say anything bad about my family, but here's the main thing about the Osbournes: They're all out of their fucking minds. My wife is insane and my kids are insane. I am the only one who actually thinks things through.—Ozzy Osbourne, from his book Ordinary People.
