Chapter Two

Wally stared at the little man like he had grown a tail and started doing ballet in a pink dress. "What?"

The man rolled his eyes. "'And, as for my daughter, Stevie, I leave her in the care of my dear, younger brother, Wallace R. West.'"

Wally almost passed out. 'What, on God's green Earth, possessed her to leave her thirteen-and-a-half year old daughter with her twenty-four year old brother?' Wally thought. He would have laughed if it weren't for the annoyed look on the rude little troll's face, which clearly said that he wasn't lying. "So, I'm in charge of her?"

"Yes. You're in charge of her. And Miss Allen since this is your house now, I trust that you'd like me to leave."

"Aunt Iris, I don't know about this. How do I become a legal guardian, anyway?" Wally asked as Aunt Iris worked on their dinner.

"You have to file a petition. In the petition, you'd have to put Stevie's medical documents and other statements that prove that she's too young to make decisions and care for herself. And after that, they evaluate you and whoever evaluates you either disputes your petition or they don't." she said, opening the refrigerator door. "If they do, you'll have a trial and they'll ask for more proof, but if they don't, then a trial takes place with witnesses to support the need and then you're appointed as her guardian."

"Oh, is that all?" he groaned. He walked outside, where Stevie was laying back in a lawn chair, watching the sun as it neared the horizon. She looked up at him as he walked out and sat down on the grass next to her. "Hey, kiddo. So, I've been thinking and… if I were to take you in, you do know about my job, right?" Stevie glanced at him.

"You mean the cover up job, or the cool job?" Stevie asked, smirking at his dismay. "Chill out, I already knew. No one can get home with pizza that fast." Wally laughed a little, remembering the time he went to get pizza one day while he was visiting his sister.

"I don't want to put any stress on you because of my work, so I'd understand if you don't want me to be your guardian. But, if you do, then I would be around a lot."

"Are you kidding? What kind of weirdo wouldn't want the fastest man alive to be their guardian?" Stevie laughed.

That night, Wally started doing what his aunt had told him to do; he called Stevie's doctor, and her school and had them make copies of Stevie's documents. After that, he sent word to the Tower that he'd be gone for a after that, he pulled out the book from behind Wednesday's dresser. It had a leather cover and a silver latch and the title was very strange. He couldn't even begin to say it out loud. He'd never seen writing like that. It was swirly, and looked like something from the thirteenth century.

"What a weird book…" he mused. He tryed to unlatch the book but it wouldn't open. He grumbled something about it being rusted, standing up and leaving the room to go back to his own.

The next day, Stevie woke up at three in the morning, and began to recount her dream in her diary. After that, she picked up a novel that was next to her bed. She remembered this book. Her mom got it for her, but she'd never read it.

The Alchemyst: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel

Stevie opened the cover and started to read:

'He holds the secret that can end the world.

'The truth: Nicholas Flamel was born in Paris on September 28, 1330. Nearly 700 years later, he is acknowledged as the greatest Alchemyst of his day. It is said that he discovered the secret of eternal life.

'The records show that he died in 1418.

'But his tomb is empty.

'The legend: Nicholas Flamel lives. But only because he has been making the elixir of life for centuries. The secret of eternal life is hidden within the book he protects — the Book of Abraham the Mage. It's the most powerful book that has ever existed. In the wrong hands, it will destroy the world. That's exactly what Dr. John Dee plans to do when he steals it. Humankind won't know what's happening until it's too late. And if the prophecy is right, Sophie and Josh Newman are the only ones with the power to save the world as we know it.

'Sometimes legends are true.

'And Sophie and Josh Newman are about to find themselves in the middle of the greatest legend of all time.'

By the time she reached the tenth chapter, Wally and Aunt Iris were awake. She slipped out from under her covers and slipped her feet into her slippers. She then stepped into the hall and down the stairs. Stevie poked her head into the kitchen and watched Wally as he cooked pancakes.

Seating herself at the table, she watched him silently. When he turned around, he let out a cry of surprise and the plates in his hands slipped out of his grip, but he quickly caught them. "Hmm…. There should be a bell around your neck, or something, 'cause you nearly scared me out of my skin!" Stevie laughed at that.

Her mom used to say she glided over the ground, because she was so soundless when she moved, she could be right behind you and you'd never even know.

"I started a book last night. It's really good. I like the main character." Stevie said, pouring syrup onto her pancakes. "So, did you get the papers?"

"I'm getting them today."

"That's good."

"Oh, and we're heading to my house today. We have to set your room up and all of that." Wally said, sitting down next to Stevie. Stevie nodded.

The car ride to Wally's house took two and a half hours, since he stopped at her school and doctor's office for her papers. It was funny to see Wally take so long to do something. Think about it: Wally West aka the Flash stuck in traffic!

That's the second chapter, y'all! Don't forget to review!
