Alright, things are gonna get interesting. :D Maybe. :D Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING! NOTHING at all except my laptop, and my brain, and the few brain cells I have left… But that's all. :D
"How did you know I'm an Anodite?" I asked Landon.
Landon smiled. "Because I to am an Anodite."
Kevin frowned. "I don't believe it."
"We shouldn't talk here." Landon snapped his fingers.
"What? How did we get here?" Ben asked.
We were in Kevin's garage, his car was right next to him.
I took a step toward Landon, mesmerized. "So you really are like me." I said softly.
Landon looked me straight in the eye. "More than you will ever know." He replied just as softly.
Kevin came up beside me. "What do you want?" He growled at Landon.
Landon didn't look at Kevin. He kept his eyes on me. "We need to talk, alone. Is that ok?"
I nodded. "That's fine."
"No it's not."
I turned to Kevin and frowned. "Yes it is."
Kevin glared at me. "We don't even know who he is Gwen."
"So? I can take care of myself Kevin." I shot back.
"Is that so? Then why do I always have to save you?"
"You save me?" I poked Kevin in the chest. "It's the other way around."
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Ben place his hand on his forehead. "Not again." He muttered.
"You don't save me. I can take care of myself." Kevin growled.
"And I can take care of myself." I replied.
"Hard to believe they're going out, huh?" Ben asked Landon.
Kevin and I glared at Ben. "Shut up." We both snapped.
Ben was now angry. "Why don't you two shut up? I'm sick of hearing you guys fight."
"Deal with it. I'm sick of hearing your voice, but I have to put up with it."
My eyes narrowed. "Don't be rude Kevin."
"I'll be rude as much as I want." Kevin snapped.
"Hmph." I turned my back on Kevin. I smiled up at Landon. "Ignore Kevin. Let's go somewhere where we can talk."
Landon nodded. He snapped his fingers.
I looked around, we were in the woods. "Where are we?" I asked.
"Landon, Gwen, I have been waiting for you." A voice said softly.
I turned in surprise. "Grandma Verdona!" I exclaimed. I ran up to her and gave her a quick hug. "What are you doing here?"
Grandma Verdona smiled warmly at me. "It's time Gwen."
I stared blankly at her. "Time for what?"
"You to decide your fate." Grandma Verdona replied simply.
I blinked. "What are you talking about?"
Landon took a step towards me. "Every Anodite not born in Anodyne must make this choice. It is our turn to make it." Landon said softly. He placed his hand on my elbow.
"What choice?"
"You have to come to Anodyne, or you will lose your powers forever." Grandma Verdona told me.
I let out a small gasp. That couldn't be true, could it? I could not lose my powers, but I couldn't go to Anodyne. I just couldn't. "No, Grandma Verdona, is there some other way to keep my powers?" I whispered.
"That's where I come in. I want to stay here to, but I don't want to lose my powers." Landon replied.
I felt a little bit of hope. "So there is a way to stay on Earth and keep my powers?" I asked hopefully.
Grandma Verdona let out a long sigh. "Yes Child, but you will not like it."
"I'll do it, whatever it is. As long as I can stay here with my friends and family." And Kevin. I do not want to leave Kevin. I don't think I could take that.
Grandma Verdona looked at me long and hard. "I will give you a week to decide." She said slowly.
I already knew whatever it was I would do it. I couldn't go to Anodyne, but I couldn't lose my powers. If I lost my powers I wouldn't be able to help Ben and Kevin. If I couldn't help them I would be worried sick never knowing if they were ok or not. "Tell me, what do I have to do?"
Grandma Verdona looked me in the eyes. "You have to," She paused for a moment. "Find another Anodite who wants to stay on Earth."
"Which is me." Landon added.
There was more to it than that. I could sense it. I also sensed I would not like what I was about to hear. "What else?"
There was a long silence. "You have to marry him." Grandma Verdona finally said.
Teehee. This was a big cliffy. :D Now I need y'alls help. I love writing, but I'm not motivated. So hit that little review button and motivate me! :D
