Chapter 3:
Kieta's House
**They arrive at Kieta's house, and Kieta's parents seat them at the fountain in the football field sized Zen Garden. The parents start the usual "parent talk"……
So Kieta (splashs her with a waterball right in the face) How are you?
*wipes off her face and sends a pink puff of air towards Lilliana, but misses. Then sends a blue and hits her smack dab in the center of the forehead. Giggles.
"I'm doing just fine… I think." *laughs*
"I guess so… (laughs)"
"So I see your parents are very protective of your powers too. It's SO lame, isn't it?"
"Yes definitely. They are always saying 'be careful there are norms everywhere' or 'Kieta! The norms, the norms!' It's so annoying!"
"Is it just me or did your English get immensely better!?! ... And yah I know. It's really annoying."
*laughs* "Well technically it didn't get better, it got charmed…. My dad is a real charm… (They both start to laugh at the norm joke) yea he put a spell on the house and surrounding area. It allows us to speak the native language to perfection, that's one thing that my dad is definitely good for."
"That's SO cool. Why don't you have him set it in town? That would be nice."
"Well you see not only does it work on us but it works on the norms too. So if there are any norms or powers that speak any language, other than English, they would start speaking English randomly, and if they were talking on the phone in a different language, the person on the other line wouldn't be able to understand them! See how many problems it could cause?"
"Oh. I see… yes that would definitely be a huge problem."
" So… Just wondering, Is your mother a power too?"
"Yes, She is a bender, like me, except she bends just fire and air. She is VERY talented. She has taught me about everything I know about fire and air bending. She can help you become more powerful in water though too because her father was a water bender. And though she can not do them, she can show you exactly what to do!"
The girls keep talking about all the cool tricks Kieta's mom and Grandfather can do. Suddenly, someone knocks on the door. She is screaming, "Help! Help! He is after me. Please let me in. I know your powers, and I also know you can help me!"
The girls' parents rush to the door. They peek threw the door hole to see a short brunette girl, with a magic bubble around her glowing a pretty, magenta color. Kieta's father sets a protection over the house so that if she is not a good power, she will not be able to enter. Even if the door is, open. He opens the door. The girl runs threw the door without hesitation, and relievingly able. Into the living room she runs and quickly she closes all the curtains (with powers) and then turns to the, though reassured, flustered parents.
Stay tuned for Chapter 4: The Stranger.
