Chapter 18

The song had stopped five minutes ago. After thirty seconds Blinx had been used to it and now she was wishing that she hadn't accidentally smashed the radio. She had been sifting through its remains for a few minutes trying to see if anyone had been playing games (most likely Finn if anyone). Once she was satisfied that there was nothing more than it needed, she started to pick the pieces up off the floor and dump them in a bin. 'I wonder what that was? Was that me?' she remembered her sister telling her about her powers, they weren't something like this though, Cyclonis had actually shown her some of her powers. Cyclonis was a Crystal Mage, as they called it here, she had the ability to use the power of any crystal just by holding it in her hand. But this seemed something different. Then she remembered what Cyclonis had told her about their mother the first day she had met her on the Cyclonian air ship 'She said mother performed a ritual that sent me away. Could our mother have had powers? Does Cyclonis have the same sort of powers as mother or does she have her own? And if mother did have powers and Cyclonis has some sort does that mean I do?' there was a sound behind her. She turned to the shelf behind her picking up the object that had fallen, just a small crystal that Piper had given her, it was lucky it didn't smash.

She turned back placing the crystal on the desk staring hard at it 'I don't think that should've fallen' there was a clattering from the shelf behind her again. There was a small ornamental ball situated on a stand. The ball itself looked to be made of glass or some other breakable material and seemed to bounce and sway on its stand. Blinx watched it for a minute as it precariously teetered on the edge, then rolled forward onto the shelf and stopped, almost staring at her, then started rolling forward again. It stopped again at the edge of the shelf, she moved forward slowly keeping her eye on the ball. The ball then seemed to leap of the shelf, plummeting toward the floor. Blinx dived for it but pulled her hand back when it stopped centimetres off the ground. She watched it wide eyed as it hovered in mid air, turning like the Earth on its Axis. She grinned to herself as she waved her hand underneath and around it 'It's definitely in mid air! No strings attached!' she let her hand stay underneathfor a bit longer and then slowly let it drop to her side. It hovered for another moment or two and then dropped to the floor, smashing on impact.

There was a knock on her door making her jump. Several objects from different areas of the room fell from their respective shelving units, some hitting the floor others landing on the bed or the desk. "Blinx? Is that you in there?" Stork shouted through the door. Blinx moved over to the control switch and unlocked and opened the door "Hey Stork. What's up" He looked behind her his already wide eyes widening more so "I heard a noise, like something breaking"
'That's an understatement!'

"What happened in here?! Are you alright?" He made it seem like he wanted her to say no.
She looked around at the mess that was her room "Yeah I'm fine. I knocked the radio over and, next thing I know, it's a Domino Effect" he gave her an odd look "Did you want me to fix the radio?" she looked at him "Would you? That'd be cool, great, awesome!"
"You're creeping me out" he cringed away from her.

"I know. I'm being weirder than usual, sorry!" she picked up the bin "If it's alright with you, can I come watch you work? You're kinda the only person I don't really know" his brows raised, curious and a little surprised "Uhh...yeah I suppose that's fine" she gave a chuckle and smiled at him as he stared down the hall "Um, can I ask you a question?"
"Um, sure"
"What exactly are you"

She'd never really taken the time to have a good look at him. Aside from him being green in colour and tall and lanky in body shape, he had long pointed ears and almost cat like features. But now that she saw him up close she realised his hair wasn't completely black and his large eyes had a yellow tinge to them

'Ya know, up close, he's kinda cute. Too bad about the pessimist thing!'
