Chapter Seven
Ema's View
After Mizuki locked the door to her room, Ema went back to the couch and turned on the flat screen TV that was in the living room. Channel surfing, she flipped through the many channels until something caught her eye.
A guy with weird contact lenses was standing on a stage and doing back flips. This struck her as weird, because it was a channel that norms got. Unless that dude had magic blood in him, he wouldn't be able to do something like that.
Pausing her channel surfing, Ema was intrigued. She had never seen a norm do that before, but it wouldn't be that unusual if he was of magical origin. Listening to the guide, a stream of comments norms would usually make preceded an unusual question.
"So, you're obviously talented. Where do you practice this?"
"Oh, nowhere. I don't need to practice, just like I said I'm not wearing colored contact lenses. These abilities are natural for me," he said. Looking directly at the camera and smiling, he said something else. "Prophecies also interest me. I heard that someone born of nature will be put into a deep sleep soon."
That freaked Ema out. She had decided to record it, so she rewatched it. That last sentence was aimed at her, she knew it. It scared her, and she didn't know what to do.
Running to Mizuki's room, she called out for her friend, panicking. "Mizuki! Mizuki, come quick! Seriously, this is really creepy," Ema yelled to her friend. "Whatever this is, it isn't good. Get your butt out here now!"
"Fine. I just got an email that seriously freaked me out, too. I'll show it to you, and you can show whatever it is to me," Mizuki replied. "It better be related to what the message says, though. If it isn't, you're gonna be in a whole lot of trouble."
"Alright, I'm okay with that," Ema said. Mizuki unlocked her door and left her room, following Ema back to the TV. Ema was nervous. Maybe Mizuki wouldn't accept this for what she thought it was...
Sitting down on the couch, the two of them got their things ready to show each other. Mizuki still had her laptop, and Ema turned on the TV. Finding the recording, she hit play. It went through all the unimportant crap, and then finally reached the part she disliked.
"...Prophecies also interest me. I heard that someone born of nature will be put into a deep sleep soon." Ema was freaking out again. Those eyes, black surrounding the red irises, it was creepy. He was looking directly at her.
"Okay, you're right," Mizuki commented. "That is so creepy. Just like my email. Here, look at it. I'm sure you will be creeped out, too."
Ema looked at the message that had been sent to Mizuki. She was so surprised that she didn't move a muscle. It reminded her of the thing the guy said so much, yet was so different... she just didn't want to think.
"Should we go... should we go back to Yuki's house? To be on the safe side?" Ema was brought out of the daze by Mizuki's words. Looking her friend in the eyes, she could tell that they were both fearful, but more so for their friend and leader. Ema nodded.
"Yeah. Pack your stuff, we're sleeping over," Ema replied. She grabbed her big backpack, which happened to have pajamas in it, and waited for Mizuki at the door. Once both of them were ready, the left, running down the stairs as fast as they could.
