Umbreon's Perspective
I froze in fear as Espeon let go of my hand. Her dad gave me a disapproving glare. But his face quickly changed to joy. "Espeon. Don't run off like that. And you know the rules. Never bring home an outsider."
"He's the Eon of the Moon. Not an outsider." She protested.
"I'll leave if you want me to." I said. If I wanted to make it out alive I would have to go now.
"No! You all need to understand this. The Eons will only work with the cooperation of eight people all with a nature element. And you all said that I would end up taking over the Eons so…" She paused. I held my breath. "My first decision is to except Umbreon into the group if he wants to help us. What do you think?" She turned to me.
"I'm a little confused. Understand that this is hard to process. So you said that Eons are born in the World of Magi. I was born here. Why?"
"Wait." The dad spoke. "Is your last name Devaero?" I nodded. Umbreon Devaero. That's me. "Your mom came to me eighteen years ago. She said she was from the World of Magi. I could see it. She said she had an Eon child but raising an Eon is hard so she asked me to help. I refused. Sorry. I thought she was lying. But she died and I never found any Eon kid. Now I know why. She cloaked you. Cloaking is when a Magi puts a spell on another Magi to keep their powers hide from the world. That also includes other Magi. But now that you've met us and we see your powers, that cloak is gone. It's very rare that a Magi has the ability to cloak. Hide that power you have. People will see it when any type of moonlight hits you. Including a picture of a moon on a screen. That's dangerous. I'm done taking." Espeon's dad turned and sat on the couch behind him.
"Wow. Eighteen years ago. That could be about the time I was born. And wait, if I have to hide, I can't go to school."
"No. I never said that." Espeon's dad said.
"Look, it was nice to meet you all but I have school go to so I can stop by here later if you want but I need to get going." I said.
"Okay. Come back later please? We have to talk." Espeon said.
I nodded. I walked out the door and headed for my house.
I had gotten to school safely. But my nerves were frazzled. I couldn't stop shaking. Science class was next and the teacher said we'd be learning about our solar system. The moon. It was like Espeon's father predicted the future. When I got to science class I made sure to get a spot closest to the door and farthest away from the screen. The teacher started talking. "The solar system. One of the most amazing things in the universe. Now we only have one star in our solar system and that is the sun." He pulled up a picture of the sun. My heart skipped a beat. "The moon. It has many phases. Eight to be exact." He pulled up a picture of the moon. Unlucky me, the light hit me and I felt the glow start. Once the glow started to get brighter and people started to turn their heads, I ran out the door. People exited the room and I could hear what the were saying as I ran.
"He's glowing!"
"What kind of freak is he?!"
I slammed into someone. I felt flesh against my wrist. Usually when I was out of the moon's glow, my marks would stop glowing. Not today. I looked up and saw Espeon standing above me with face that said, "You made a big mistake." The class gathered around me and started yelling freak in my ears.
"Shut it!" Espeon yelled as she pulled me up. Everyone silenced. She let go of my wrist and the glowing stopped.
"I hate my marks! I hate my marks! I hate my marks!" I yelled. "Tell me there's away to get rid of them!" I yelled at Espeon.
She slammed her hand against my right arm's mark and her hot pink gem glowed. "I would have gotten rid of this if I knew!" She pointed to the glowing gem. "We're lucky I'm not alone. Sylveon!" The little girl in a pink dress appeared. "Memory spell please." She let go of my arm and both our glowing marks stopped.
Sylveon started. "At the ring of a bell, you won't be able to tell, what happened before this spell." She rang a little bell and everyone's eyes went gray then back to their normal color.
The teacher stepped up and said, "Umbreon. If you would so kindly come back to your seat, we could continue the lesson?"
"Actually, my cousins came to pick me up." We ran out of the door and headed straight for the warehouse.
