Ch. 2 Traveling
Sera hated planes. It had something to do with the combination of confinement and the awful food they sometimes served. They also gave uninterrupted thinking time, which was both a plus and a minus. As the plane's wheels left the ground, the wheels in her head were already turning.
She was going over the day when their secret was discovered. It was all her fault.
Flashback
A stuck-up platinum blonde cheerleader named Mara was insulting her. That happened on a daily basis. But once she got to the whole trash talking Edana and Keegan, Sera just snapped. Fire covered her hands and she was shaking with fury. She turned around to face her.
"Don't you dare ever say anything about my family ever again." Sera said, her voice harsh with undisguised loathing. Sera then did something she instantly regretted. She threw fire at Mara. Luckily, the vile girl ducked. Unluckily, the fire hit Sera's car, which was right behind her.
You know what happens when fire hits gasoline, right? Instant explosion. Without a second's hesitation, Sera threw out a protective wall over Mara. The detonation didn't harm them. In fact, they didn't feel it at all.
By the time it was all over, and the car was peacefully burning, Mara was on the ground in a dead faint. Sera looked at the unconscious girl and sighed. Some people don't take stress very well. She walked to the flaming car and asked it to go out. I did. She then ran into the nurse's office acting scared and told the nurse she found Mara on the ground and that it looked like she had hit her head.
That would take care of any stories about her, she thought, they could be explained as head trauma.
The senseless girl was carried by the nurse back into the infirmary, where her parents were called.
Once more alone, Sera ran. She didn't know men would be soon chasing her, intent on capturing her and finding out what she is. She didn't know she would be leaving everything behind.
End of Flashback
The stewardess came on over the plane's intercom, announcing that they would be arriving in Seattle momentarily. Sera sighed again (she seemed to be doing that a lot lately) and looked out the window. As she watched, they broke through the bottom of the clouds into a locale very different than the one she had left.
Seattle was wet. There was no other word for it. Sera knew she would hate bring here for that reason alone. But she was even more sure no one would follow them here. Anyone who knew their secret would expect them to go somewhere sunny, wouldn't they?
They would, she decided. Here they would be safe.
Hi, I hope you like the chapter. I'm not sure if I did or didn't. Actually, I don't even know what to do with this story. I will continue it though, just in case people like it. By the way , sorry my chapters are short, but they probably won't be getting any longer soon. Please review!!
