note: i haven't written in awhile because i had writers block

Chapter 10

Soon after Mia joined me(her, too, in her bra and underwear(I wonder why she wears boy shorts?)) Jovanna joins with Rebecca in tow.(all in our underwear and bra sitting and laughing in the hot spring like it's a Jacuzzi!)

I know I sound like a sorority girl who has rich parents and does everything her boyfriend asks including have sex with a girl in front of him….the short version: an airhead. But that's not the point right now its really just that we all just talk and are laughing because we are drunk and I think Mia is smoking a joint….who knows?

"ok-ok!" I am breathless from our last laughing session. "I have a question for Jovanna?"

"yes miss. Piggy?" with that she started another uproar of laughter. When it was over I asked my question, "who is the little girl Emily took away from the tour yesterday?"

Jovanna looked away a little as everyone grew silent. "what did I say?" I asked.

"nothing she's just the new oracle." Mia answered.

"we go to her if we are chosen for a quest, so she can give us words of the future ahead-kinda like a heads-up. Why do you ask about that tiny bitch?" Rebecca continued to stare into the depth of the water.

"nothing…she just kinda woke me up and started saying crazy stuff," I whisper, but that's all it takes for them to snap their heads up. Mia was the first to respond jump right into action, "what did she say?"

"nothing really just some crazy lines…its nothing."

"tell us," Rebecca snapped, as if she was afraid of the dark.

"fine clam down it wasn't anything special just…weird.
'Find the child of hopeless return,
Return to the endless burn,
Seek keys to the seeds,
In endless nights death bleeds,
Hope stays or flies away,
Tears will stay.'"
"shit-you got a quest!" Jovanna says.

"no that's impossible-she can't-she hasn't been here long enough-not even 24 hours! You can't throw a child into the real world of monsters without training!" Mia said as if it was an instinct. Rebecca just seemed to melt into the water.

While Mia and Jovanna play tag with words I tried to keep up but it was hard to. "impossible…." who knew Mia could talk so fast-what did she even say? "Shut UP bit-" I didn't know what Jovanna was saying she was speaking so fast and shoveling her finger in Mia's face and Mia looked like she was about to tackle her when a little, dry voice spoke up, "does anyone know this?" it was Rebecca who said this still not looking at me.

"no one-but I think this has to do with my brother," I say.

"impossible!" Jovanna called into the night. "I saw him enter your house-there was even a car there!" she says.

"what are you talking about? Our parents are never there when we are home-was either the cars a Lexis or a Mercedes?" I asked.

"no it was a minivan-he said he thought it was his Aunt Christie-or something," she says then she frowned her brow, "though he did say that it was strange that she changed the color from silver to black?"

I was shaking and I felt the water burn with my sickness of a heart. "why is the water warming?" Jovanna said. Instantly Rebecca slapped me across the face. With that I was now facing my anger at her. Rebecca just looked at me like she knew what I was going though-hell I hope she did considering how big of a crush she has on him. But just her looking at me with those eyes and saying, "we'll get him back, don't worry." I calmed down, as did the water.

Jovanna opted to stay and Rebecca made something up about it being bad luck for her to go with clashing powers-or something. Mia was the only one who said she was going-but we soon found out she wasn't.

Mia pov

People are so stupid! So this new kid Dominic-such a weird name-he is SUCH a stalker! So as we are sneaking out of the woods he just hops down from a tree and says, "I want to help with Chase." Jovanna was so startled she yelped, which was soon followed by a blush.
"How do you know my brothers name?" Alice asked pushing her drenched hair out of the way, focusing her grey cat like eyes on him.

"I had a stupid dream about him-it was weird-you were there Ice- I think you were playing Texas Hold 'em or something-anyways I know that you and Mia are going and I need to come too," Dominic answered.

"hell to the no-you know nothing! You have been here barely more than she has and you don't even know what you are-let alone who you are!" I yelled before I could shut my mouth-I didn't know why I didn't want him to come with us….
