Chapter Six

The Story

"Say What!" Trixie exclaimed. Eve just looked down at her feet.

"Yo girl why didn't you tell us you had a bro. This is great!" said Trixie. Eve just continued to watch her feet.

"What? Its not good?" Tirxie anked. Eve shook her head.

"Okay I'm confused," said Trixie.

"It's a long story," said Eve.

"Well girl we got all night." Eve looked up at Trixie.

"Alright I'll tell you the story."

"It all started three months after I left New York. I was just sitting in my chair listening to my teachers boring lecture."

"How boring was he?" asked Trixie.

"He is one hundred times more effective than a sleeping pill. Anyway I looked out the window and say someone over by a tree staring at me. At first I thought it was the janitor or something but it wasn't."

"How did you know?"

"Well it was kind of obvious when he through a grenade through the class room window and it landed right on my desk. Luckily I picked it up and through it out of the window before it exploded. So the school was evacuated and we all got to go home. I however decided to go look for the person by the tree. When I got there they were gone buy a note was left."

"What did it say?"

"I'll tell you as soon as you quit interrupting," said Eve.

"Sorry,"

"Anyway it told me to meet them at South Central at midnight that night. So that night I went to the meeting place and waited. At about ten after midnight he showed up. He was wearing a black cloak with his hood down. He had bright red hair, pale skin, and bright blue eyes. The cloak was wrapped around him so if he had any more weapons, I didn't know.

'I have a proposition for you' he said.

'What is it' I replied.

'My master had been watching you and he is most interested with you' he said.

'That sounds creepy' I said.

'He means it in the most professional way. We wish for you to join us' he said.

'Join you. I don't even know you or what you and your master want with me'

'We wish to over throw the humans and create a world where the most powerful mythical creatures rule. Your powers are impressive for your age and we wish for you to join the winning side.'

'And what happens to the humans once their over thrown?'

'We enslave the strong and destroy the weak."

'That's horrible. If that's your mission then I'll never join you!'

'You are making a big mistake Evey'

'What did you call me' I asked. He didn't say a word.

'The only one who ever called me that was…'

'That's right Evey its me.'

'Adam.' His face hardened when I said his name.

'Don't call me that. I have a new name now.'

'Adam you're alive!' I couldn't grasp at that moment what was going on. My brother was alive; I was overjoyed, until he said,

'My name is Bloodwyne! Adam was killed by the Huntsclan nine years ago!' All I could do was stand there. I wanted to say something but it felt like there was something stuck in my throat.

'And if you won't join me and my master than you shall die, Noisolpxe!' Suddenly the ground beneath me began to glow with a dark red light and before I knew it the ground exploded and I was sent flying back through the air. I landed on my back and the wind was knocked out of me. I gasped for breath as pain surged up my back. Adam then stood over me and held out his hand so his palm was facing me.

'Good bye Evey…Etareti' but before he could finish the spell a huge boulder of cement, about the size of a van, came out of no where and smashed into Adam. He flew backwards and hit the ground with a thud. I looked up to see who had hit him and saw it was my aunt. She rushed over to me and lifted me up into her arms.

'Etopelet' she said and we were gone.

"Later that night I told my aunt everything. She wasn't too happy about me going alone but she was glad I was safe. So after a bit of discussion we decided it would be best to find out what Adam and his so called master was up to. That was when we decided I would follow him and try to find out all of the info I could. We came up with an excuse to get me out of school and so no one would suspect my missing for a while, she gave me all of the addressed and phone numbers of all of her friends throughout America and I was off. I have been trailing Adam for the last year and I finally know what Adam is up to."

"What's that?" Trixie asked.

"He's after a magical item called the steal shaft,"

"He's after a steel shaft?"

"No, steal as in S-T-E-A-L, not S-T-E-E-L. Who ever has it can absorb the powers of any magical creature they choose. The staff also grants the user immortality."

"Dang and why does he want it?"

"To make people join him and his master and those who don't get their powers stolen."

"Who's his master?"

"I haven't been able to find that out yet, but I do know the last people to have the Steal Shaft was the Huntsclan, and its here in New York."

"So that's why you came back, not on some trip but to stop the world from being taken over by your brother?"

"Basically...yes."

"You know you got to tell Jake,"

"I know it's just I don't know how to."

"Well why don't you go Gramp's shop after school with Jake on Monday and tell them the truth?"

"That's not a bad idea. That gives me the weekend to practice what I'm going to say. Thanks Trixie," yawned Eve.

"Don't mention it. Now let's get some shut eye it's like 1:30 in the morning." Trixie and Eve went up to Trixie's room. Trixie got into her bed and Eve into her sleeping bag.

"Good night," said Eve.

"Good night," said Trixie.
