MOKAR'S POV
I was reclining in my window seat, when a small bat fluttered out of nowhere. "Gah!" I exclaimed and fell off my perch.
The little bat fluttered in agitation. "Squeak squeak, squeak?" It asked.
I waved a hand. "I'm fine, Dillon. You just scared me a bit." I bounced back to my feet and sat back down on the window ledge. "Do you have a message?" I watched the small bat flutter around then finally cling to the rough stone a few inches above my head. He peered at me from behind his tiny little space helmet.
"Squeak…squeak?" Dillon asked.
I chuckled. "Oh, yes. They did arrive." I paused as that last moment flashed before my eyes. "I didn't realize it was them until…" I trailed off. Jason would kill me if he found out from anyone but me. So I should tell him. "Until I nearly killed Jason's daughter."
A flurry of angry squeaks interrupted me.
I glared at the angry bat. "Oh, be quiet."
"I honestly doubt that he can be quiet since you so nearly killed The Space-Master's daughter." A female voice interrupted my and Dillon's conversation.
I twisted to see who it was and fell off the ledge I was perched on, face down. "Ow…" I muttered.
A light, but distinctly evil, chuckle resounded from one of the darker corners of my room. "I love doing that."
I looked up from the slightly threadbare black carpet. My eyes traced over the faintly exotic features of a girl in her mid teens. Her hair was staunched divided down the middle. But, the scary thing was that half was a pitch black and the other was a bone white. Her eyes were the same. One wholly black, the other purely white. She also had on a dark top with a white vest and a pair of gray jeans. Slung across her back was a large blade that was almost pure straight lines. The tip didn't taper like most swords but was asymmetrical in the fact that it was sliced on a sharp diagonal at the tip. The blade seemed to be a chunk of missing view. I could see pure darkness with tiny flashes of white in the strange metal.
The girl drew the great blade. "Admiring my Glitch Blade, are we?"
I had heard of The Glitch. It was bad. If this girl could carry a weapon of it, then she was…
"Oh," She interrupted my thought, "I forgot to introduce myself. I am Lys Skyggen Darik."
'Oh, Notch…' I thought. She was the Glitch embodied.
"But, call me LS, please." LS took as step forward and the glitch that had been under her feet and clinging to my wall spread so her booted feet wouldn't touch my ratty carpet.
"Do-don't co-come an-any cl-closer…" I stuttered. This was bad.
LS paused. "Fine. I just have a message from the Author."
This must be really important for The Author to send The Glitch Queen.
LS grinned. "Author!" She looked in a random direction. "You might want to POV switch to keep this a surprise for the readers!"
She then turned toward me. "Now then…"
ANI'S POV
I was leaning on my brother. I yawned massively.
"Go to sleep, Ani." Cole murmured. He wrapped a strong arm around my slender shoulders.
As my eyes drifted shut, my eyes slowly glided over our 'little' party: The twins, Graten, Zelma, Uncle Ian, and Aunty Night.
Strangely my eyes drifted over to a bit of deeper shadow just behind the people sitting on the far side of the fire. The last thing I saw was a faint glow beginning to grow in the depths of the shadow.
I was suddenly jolted awake a few minutes later by my brother jumping to his feet. I opened my honey-gold eyes wide as they landed on four people standing on the far side of the fire.
One was a tall young woman in a pair of shorts and an oversized black and white hoodie. Her eyes were a sharp violet and her hair was a bright platinum blonde. The second girl was dressed like an archer in green. Her eyes were the same green as her outfit, but her hair was a honey blond. The eldest boy was garbed in a dark red robe and had a bit of cloth covering his mouth. His eyes had blood red irises and the whites were black! His hair was a mud brown. The youngest boy, who was also the tallest, had handsome, deep-blue eyes, a teal top and a pair of dark-blue jeans.
The eldest girl smiled at us all and held up her hands. "Hey, we mean you no harm." She soothed.
Everyone lowered their weapons but didn't put them away. "Who are you?" Cole asked, still very suspicious.
The eldest girl was still smiling. "I'm Love-A-Dog, or just Love. My sister is Hawkeye1213, or just Hawk. My brothers are James2005, or Jimmy, and brianHero or just Brian. We are a bit lost." She first indicated to the only other girl in the group, then the 'wizard-guy', and finally the really tall boy.
Love had an odd speaking pattern. Like Minecraftian wasn't her first language. Huh.
A sudden swarm of bats descended on our group. Their wings just so happened to put out our fire, so we were plunged into darkness. A few seconds later a familiar, but apologetic voice rang out. "Opps, sorry!"
A sudden light lit the courtyard in glaring detail. I took an involuntarily step toward it and my hand connected with rough scales. Oh yeah. Cole inherited dad's ability to light up whenever he wants. I looked around at our group, but when my eyes landed on the four newcomers, for a moment, they looked different; grander, older, more powerful. But, the illusion vanished and all four looked normal again.
I looked over at the very apologetic vampire that had snuffed out our only defense against the zombies. "Really?!" Cole demanded, his usually deep voice even deeper coming from the great lungs of his Dragon form.
"I'm sorry!" Mokar exclaimed again. "Oh, yeah!" He turned toward Love, "The Author wanted me to tell you, 'Wonderful. You managed to sneak in despite the elaborate plan!'"
Love sighed, "Your own fault for writing just before bed!(not joking…)" Her head was tilled toward the sky.
There was an irritated rumble of thunder.
"Ok, ok. I'll be quiet now…" Love growled. She turned around and faced the lot of us, "Maybe we should get some sleep…"
I yawned. "Wonderful idea." I climbed onto my brother's scaly back. "Good night…" My eyes closed, and I drifted away on the boat of sleep…
LOVE'S POV (le Oooooo!)
My siblings and I escaped. But, we had to hide. The Empowereds were still after us. There was little to no chance that a battle of that magnitude wouldn't leave a near deadly scar on the land. My almost twin brother would never be able to repair the damage that would cause.
I glanced over at the sleeping Ian; still as handsome as I remember. I want to tell him, but that would ruin the plot (*insert giant fourth wall hole here* *insert Author face-palm here*). I look over at my siblings. Since I was the one who cast the illusion spell, I can see what they really looked like. My sister has bandages wrapped around her torso, and I know she is in near constant pain. My near twin brother looks haggard and almost depressed. Our youngest brother simply looks worried. I know I didn't look much better.
The only time that the illusion over us will be broken is if I am completely knocked out, or I break it.
But, right now, we all needed to sleep…
*Le yawn* All this sleeping is making me sleepy... But, I have to do stuff, so stay awake. *mentally slaps self*
Ok, I'm good now.
So, yeah. Down here is normally where I would put something funny or some announcements, so...Oh yeah!
I got a blog! Link in my profile! I have several IRL pictures of me up on there! Go check it out!
(And Dad, It was my choice to do what I did. But, I didn't give my real name, so people can't find me without being an elite hacker.)
Ok. I got nothing else, so I hope you all enjoyed!
*inthelittlewood impression* Bye!
