After a long time of walking, I got tired. But Ash's necklace kept me going literally. It was pulling me the direction of my siblings. Ash and his magical charms. Eventually, I think the necklace got the feeling that I needed to rest, and it stopped. The moon had come out for its regular visit to its friends the stars. The darkness enveloped the whole meeting. My eyelids were getting tired. They began to droop and cover my eyes. Wait, I thought I need to eat. I pulled out the small amount of rations that I had taken with me. I began to nibble on some beef jerky. All of sudden, I heard a hissing sound coming from above the trees. I look up. A dropping sound catches my attention and I look at the ground. A creature catches my eye. I scream. Terrified. A snake slithers towards me. Not any normal snake I'd had ever seen. It was pure silver like moon light. It also had some peculiar black designs of it's back in the shape of flowers. I freeze. The snake is getting closer and closer, until I feel it's presence in my heart's rhythmic panting.
"Stay back!" I shout.
The snake doesn't listen and if that wasn't worse, others were closing in for the kill. Great, Mom you didn't give me anything to help myself. I felt completely useless. When the snakes were within striking distance, I decided to take action. I concentrate really hard on the snakes. Get them away from me, I think. I squeeze my eye's close. The hissing is coming closer, until the snake's repulsive breath is on my face. I hear it lunge at me and then nothing. Nothing but the sound of sizzling sound, like bacon on a hot skillet. I open my eyes enough to see the snake who lunged at me turn into dust. But, there were still others to worry about. They edged closer once more, this time with more caution.
Stay back, I'm warning you. Stay back or you'll pay the ultimate price. I think. Some how, I think it is working they are retreating. That's when I see the arrows. They are every were flying at the snakes. I see several snakes dead. There is a silverish looking blood spilled all over the ground. I stare in horror. Then, I see him the boy. The boy with the fiery red hair and yellow eyes. Eyes like a lynx, a predator. And he was coming towards me. I'm dead, I think.
"You should really be more careful out here,"he said.
I just nod very nervously. He could kill you at any minute.
"I'm Byron by the way, Byron Dore." He said.
"Elizabeth, Elizabeth Clarke." I say.
And I stand there very shocked.

The Supernatural....
This is a new series that I'm writing. It's about a organization that is hunting down those with supernatural abilities. Hope you enjoy it.
The Supernatural
by: Cardi Moberly
Prologue:
The scientists gathered around the oak conference table in Holland’s Office Supplies. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of nervous finger tapping against the table. The anxious whispers echoed throughout the room. A knock banged against the door. One knock, two knock, three knock. The door slowly creaked open and revealed a man.
The man was in his late 70’s perhaps his early 80’s. He had silvery gray hair that stuck up all around his head sort of like an Albert Einstein hair do. His eyes were a cold and icy gray. He wore a pure white lab coat. His bushy mustache quivered on his lip as he just stood there listening to the mumbling of the other scientists.
“Is it true? Are there those who have more power than us?” a woman asked. “Silence! We must listen to Professor Gwendovier, he’ll answer all of our questions.” a man said. Everyone turned to look at the old professor with the cold gray eyes and Albert Einstein hair do.
“To answer all of your questions, yes they do exist.” he said. The others gasped rather loudly. Some started panicking and pacing all over. “Good gracious stop panicking. This 2026 for goodness sakes. We aren’t hopeless against them. We have our ways to make sure they don’t cause us any trouble.”
The others stopped pacing and turned towards Professor Gwendovier. “What do you have in mind, sir?” asked a small plump man.
The professor’s eyes gleamed. “We exterminate them from where they are always going to be, of course.” The scientists still looked very confused.
“We target them in their schools!” he shouted.
The scientists shook there heads in agreement. They all agreed it was the perfect idea. They would take a serum and seek out those of supernatural abilities. Then, they would be sick and the scientist would pass themselves off as doctors who are used to all kinds of sickness. Doctors, they would pretend to be doctors. They would round up all of the Supernatural and take them to Live Better Hospital. They would experiment on them and keep them under humans control. The Supernatural would not rule over them. Not today, not ever!
The scientists cheered. “We will never be dominated by those whom we call the Supernatural! We will prevail! They will have no power here, or us or anyone!” he shouted. And sure enough there evil plan worked within 6 months of their plan, they had over 4,000 Supernaturals. They all believed that they were seriously ill and so did their families. No one was any the wiser.

Siblings of the Forest con.... con... con..
I was shocked by Sirena's prophecy. Then, I remembered were I was, I was still eavesdropping on Ash. He was going to be furious if he found out. If. I dashed back to my tent and shortly after, Ash joined me. Who knew he was so fast? "How are you doing?" Ash asked. I shrugged. Ash wasn't really surprised that was my usual response. "Listen, it will be okay. We'll find them and when we do we'll punish whoever did this to you." he said. I nod and get up. I head over to my backpack. It seems like forever since I've used it.
" I can't wait that long. I need to find them now."
I turn and exit the tent. Ash's words are making me dizzy, and I can't afford to be over come by distractions manipulative hand.
"Elizabeth!" He says. I start to speed walk fast and faster until I'm taking flight. He pulls me back.
"Wait," he says soothingly. I stop.
"You better hurry and say what you need to say." I say.
He nods. He reaches into his back pocket and pulls out a beautiful silver necklace with a single milky white pearl.
"It's so beautiful."
"It is to remind you of your beauty. And to remind you of me. Were ever you go I'm with you." he says.
His nimble fingers put the necklace on me.
"Thank you." I say.
"Be careful, there are all sorts of creatures out there."
I nod. And then I'm off. I'm going to get my siblings back and nothing going to stop me.

Dangerous....
"Emilia, what are you doing here?"
"Me? What about you Sonya? You promised to not look for me."
"You should really learn to check my fingers."
I hold out my hands and show her my crossed fingers.
"Sonya, why would you do that. Can't you see I don't want to be found!" She shouts.
I feel full of sadness. Why is she yelling at me? And what does she mean she didn't want to be found?
"What do you mean?" I ask her.
"I'm too dangerous to be around."
"What are you talking about? You're the one who would never even think about harming me."
She turned to Kellie or Keltin or whoever and said, "You tell her, I can't."
Then, she turned around and left.
"Emilia! Emilia? Were are you going? Come back here!"
I start to chase after her, but Marvin pulls me back.
"Give her time," he says.
" I'm sorry about this whole thing," Keltin says.
"Just tell us what Emilia was talking about." Marvin says. He is clearly shocked to, to see Emilia like this.
Keltin nods. And starts his story. And the whole time I'm thinking why is Azarius using this against her?

Meeting Keltin..
Where could Emilia possibly be? I needed to figure out who Emilia was taking on the trip. And where she lives. The chances of Emilia picking a boy for her companion is unthinkable. She usually sticks to the more superior gender. Now where could this person be? I decide to look at the resident files. Good thing that Amya gave me the full tour of the castle. Other wise, I would know where nothing was. I head towards the file room. A crunching noise interrupts the silence. Oh no, I look down at my feet and find a pencil. I have just stepped on a pencil. A guard turns toward the noise. I press my back against the cold stone wall. Please don't look over here, I think.
The guard goes in the other direction. Thank goodness. I begin to look through the residents. There are only a few files. The majority live at Elsa's Comfort Inn the remaining live in the Castle. I decide to go to Elsa's Inn. How'll I'll get there, I have no idea. I turn to leave and find a guard staring down at me. No, not a guard, Marvin.
"What are you doing here?" He asks.
"Trying to find Emilia. What about you?"
"Trying to stop you and if that fails then to come with you."
"You can't come."
"You can't stop me. Look Emilia is just like my little sister. And I want to find her just as much as you do."
"Fine, you can come. Do you know where Elsa's Comfort Inn is?"
"Vaguely, I think it's in that direction."
"Ok."
We follow Marvin's directions and find our selves at a small inn. The sound of a fire crackling, keeps the silence from taking over. Marvin opens the door. A short receptionist sits on top of a pile of books. Her hair is magenta and her eyes are a shade of beady brown. Her glasses are shoved up against her face and her nose appears tiny. Her age is on the older side, but not to old.
"May I help you?" She says.
"Yes, have you by any chance seen this girl?" I ask.
I pull out a small photograph of me and Emilia from last year. We are making crazy faces, but it's the only picture I have at the moment.
"Why yes indeed I have. She went with someone up to room 321."
"Can we have a name?" Marvin asks.
"Yes, yes. Know where is that darn book of rooms."
She diggs around until she has found a humongous book, filled with billions of pages. There are sections with the room number labeled on them. It's from recent to old. She finds the tab labeled 321 and flips through it. Finally, she comes to a stop.
"Yes, yes. The room is currently occupied by Kellie Valtillion."
She then closes the massive book and sets it in its correct spot.
"Is that all the information you needed?"
I nod. And we head towards the stairs. There are millions if rails of stairs. We follow the rail which reads 300-324. We'll find Emilia soon enough. When we reach room 321, I pause. Here goes nothing. I knock sharply on the door hoping it will get someone's attention. A boy with chestnut brown hair answers. Definitely not Kellie Valtillion.
"Can I help you?" He says.
"Yea. I demand you give me back my sister this instant!"
"And who might your sister be?"
"Sonya?" Emilia says as she comes toward the door.

Emilia...
Sonya's POV
I sit staring at the clock. I'm worried about Emilia, she hasn't come back and it has been 3 hours. It isn't like her. Something must have gone wrong with the meeting. I'd never met Bubbles before, maybe he took longer than she'd expected. I was tempted to go to Aria or Amya, they could help. But, Emilia probably told them not to go after her. Emilia and her stupid clever planning. I can't take it any more, I have to go after her. I hear a soft knock on the door.
"Sonya?" Aria says.
"What?"
"Just checking in on you. You should sleep."
"Yea. Sure."
"Don't worry about Emilia. She strong, and she can definitely handle herself. She'll be back before you know it."
"I know."
I climb into the bed. Aria pulls the covers up over me. I nestle my head into my pillow and shut my eyes. I pretend to sleep.
"Good night, Sonya."
She leaves the room.
I get out of the bed and rush to get my back pack. There are only so many places she could be and I'm going to find her.

Bubbles...
"What do you need my help with?"Keltin asked.
I told him about my dream. His face got paler and paler as I continued with my story.
"And you want me to help you? I just met you."
"I know this is a little sudden, but I couldn't think of anyone else to go with me."
This conversation is getting awkwarder as we continue to talk.
"Okay, I'll go with you. But how are we supposed to contact this Bubbles guy?"
"I'll summon him when we are in a safe place."
Keltin nodded. He grabs his jacket.
"Let's go meet Bubbles." He says.
We leave and head of into the woods. We hear the steady trickle of a nearby stream. I stop.
"We'll do it here."
I take out a knife and some herbs and a small pot.
I place the herbs in the pot, and set it on fire with my hand.
I took the knife and cut my hand, and muttered a spell.
"Powers of the seers that rise
Their course unseen across our skies,
Come to us who call you near, come to us and settle here.
The blood of a royal to the eternal bond of a servant, I summon thee.
Master to servant, I ask thee to return to me."
My blood dripped into the pot. There was big splash and a puff of mist.
"Guess they don't call you guys witches for no reason." Keltin said.
"I could still curse you either way," I said laughing.
"Remind me never to get on your bad side," he hands me a rag to clean my hand with.
I nod. Suddenly, a luminescent light appeared. A small ball the color of a blueberry was there.
"Your looking for help from a ball?"
"Why does every one always think I'm a ball?" said a small squeaky voice.
"Maybe because you look like a ball." Keltin said.
"Humph. I am a buzzu. The faithful servant of the Malvanian Royal family."
When Bubbles saw me he bowed.
"My lady."
"Hello Bubbles it has been a long time."
"Why have you called upon me? My Lady."
"Bubbles I have talked to Azarius. I want to know what he meant when he said I was under his control."
"Your mother told me this day would come."
"Are you going to tell us or not?" Keltin said.
"Yes of course. When your mother was pregnant with you. There were complications. You were having medical problems. You were going to die. So, to save you, they went to all magical and non magical creatures and asked them to give up some of their powers and blood to help you. They agreed."
"Why would they do that?" I asked.
"Well, the same thing had happened before with your grandmother, Clarissa so they thought it would help you like it did to her."
"But why?"
"It was the only way. So, naturally you already have lots of powers even more than your grandmother. Because unlike Clarissa's potion, yours had Azarius's blood in it. So, he can control you."
"Did my parents know that his blood was in my potion?"
"No, no one knew until it was to late. They thought they would raise you to follow the right, so he couldn't get to you. But you know that they died before they could."
"Thank you for telling me Bubbles. You may go now."
He nods. And dissapears into a silvery blue light. The information is overwhelming. I feel like I'm going to faint. Keltin catches me as I fall to the ground. He supports me as we walk back to the inn. Now I know Azarius is going to use me to get to everyone else. I can't be trusted. I can't go back to Sonya, I'm a danger to the world.
