Hiya peoples! How's it going? It's been awhile since I've updated. Guess what? My school year is finally over! Today was my first day of summer vacation. Finally! Sadly, I will have to take su, su, *ahem* S.S. for make up. But I still get to go to writing camp! Yay! I am so happy!

I hope you guys like this chapter. I know it's a bit shorter than my usual chapters, but I have some future chapters typed up too, so they'll be coming up soon after this one. So be prepared!

Enjoy!

When I walked inside, I heard mom talking to someone.

"Mom! I'm home!" I called.

The talking stopped and mom stepped into the hall from the living room.

"Ember, honey, we need to talk." She gestured to the living room. I wonder what this is about I thought.

"Okay. What's up?" I said walking into the room. That's when I saw her. "You're the lady that saved my friend today! What are you doing here?" I turned to mom. "What is she doing here?"

The woman with the green eyes smiled at me. "Hello Ember."

I turned to her. "How do you know my name?" I asked. To be honest, I was a little spooked by that.

The woman chuckled. "It is funny how you are directing that question at the person who gave you that name."

Now I was really confused. I looked between the two of them as I said, "What are you talking about? What is going on here?"

Mom let out a sigh and said, "Ember, this is Starfire. She is your mother."

…What? Did I hear her right? I felt as if I were struck by lightning and survived. I was breath-taken.

"She's my mom?" I asked the one who raised me. She nodded.

"And you knew this whole time?"

This time no one responded.

"…Wow. This sure does explain a lot. Uh…I'm going to step out for a bit. Excuse me." Before I could stop myself, I turned, pushed 'mom' out of the way and ran back out the front door. I took off at the front stoop.

By the time I got to the highest ledge of the tallest building in the city, tears had been rolling past my cheeks. I pulled my knees up against me and dried my eyes. When I looked out over the city, I saw a T shaped building out on a little island on the water. I wonder who lives there.

I don't want to deal with life right now. I wish I could just sit up here forever and not have to fly back to the ground. I don't feel like flying. It was fun before, but now it's just a reminder of the lies my so called 'mom' told me. Those movie snacks weren't enough to sustain me through dinner time though. I scoot myself off of my seat so that I may fly down to a local hot dog stand. I fall, and I try to fly, but it's not working. Why can't I fly?

I start to panic. I'm falling from the tallest building in the city and my flying won't work. How am I going to survive this? I still have my grappling hook. I open my bag and take out my hook. Then I put my bag back on and throw the hook to catch the nearest ledge. I hold onto the rope for dear life as it lengthens out and catches. I'm jolted by the force and I slide a little. I let out a breath of relief and began to climb the rope.

Suddenly, the rope snaps above me and I fall. I try to fly again but fail. Is this it? Am I going to die? I grow more certain as I fall closer to the city streets below. There is nothing I can do now except maybe scream. But everything is going fuzzy now and I can't do that either. I think I'm passing out. I flip over and take one last look at the sunset sky before a darkness sweeps over me.

So, what do you think happened to Ember? Please send me your predictions! I'd love to read them!

This is going to be a great summer. I just have this gut feeling. Call it a hunch.

REVIEW!
