He closed his eyes and concentrated as hard as he could. Luca opened his eyes slowly this time when he felt the water droplets on his hand, careful not to lose it like he'd done before. He grinned to himself as the sphere of water appeared in his hand like before. Finally, it didn't disappear.
Cece walks across the street, noticing a broken traffic light. She brushes her hand on it as she goes past, sending a jolt from her fingers into it. When she looks back, the light still isn't working.
"Dang," she mutters. A cold breeze blows by and she rubs her arms, making her way down the street again.
Skylar curiously watched the boy and gasped as she saw a sphere of water appear in his hand. She clasped her hands over her mouth and hid behind a corner, hoping he didn’t see her. He’s like me! she thought, There are people out there like me! She ran to the nearest coffee shop and got a chocolate frap. She sat at an unoccupied table to think.
A girl with dark green hair exploded into the cafe, looking ecstatic. She ordered a chocolate frap and sat down at the table next to Katie's.
"A word of advice. The fraps here are utterly disgusting," she warned the girl.
Luca kept grinning as he walked down the sidewalk. He hunched over a little so no one could see him generate water. He created another ball of water, then retracted it. He kept going again and again, gradually getting more confident.
Cece continued to walk down the street, dodging people when she needed. The post office wasn't too far away. She stopped at a crosswalk, waiting for the light to go green. The person next to her was looking at their phone, which was going flat. Cece pretended to bump into them so that she could touch and charge the phone.
"Sorry," she said when the person glared at her. She moved over a little so that the person wouldn't think she was weird. The traffic started to stop and she got ready to walk over when someone ran into her from behind. She swiveled around to see the boy from her class, as well as a puddle on the cement. The puddle disappeared, just as the water in his hand did before.
"Sorry." Luca mumbled apologetically. He looked up to see who he'd bumped into. It was that girl from his class! The one who had hit him with a piece of paper. "Oh." He nodded at her, acknowledging that he knew who she was.
"Hey… I'm Cece," she says. She would shake his hand, but last time she did, she electrocuted the person. Rather not risk it.
"Luca." He smiled politely. He still wasn't sure how he felt about this girl…Cece? That was her name right? It was best to be nice until Luca decided if this girl was good or not.
The light started flashing green and Cece walked across. Luca followed her, so she tried to make small talk.
"That puddle on the ground was weird, wasn't it?" she said, "It just disappeared,"
Uh oh. Luca was new to this whole power thing, but he did know that he shouldn't tell everyone. "Huh. I didn't see it.."
"Not sure how, it was right in front of you." Cece states as they reach the other side of the road. "Anyway, where are you headed?"
Luca shrugged. "No clue. I'm just walking." He looked around, making sure that he knew where he was. He still had about and hour and a half before his parents got home. "What about you?"
Ashira decided to take a fly around the area looking for something interesting to do. She carelessly morphed into a falcon and flew around.
Ashira didn't find much, mostly just people. She saw 2 people talking to each other (Luca & Cece) and more people spread about the area. Ashira wished she had someone to be herself around or even just be around. She hated being alone but was forced to.
Skylar absentmindedly nodded, then sipped her frap. She immediately spit it out and wished she would have listened to the girl's advice. She sat in thought about what she had seen and wondered if anyone else had powers like them.
Luca waited for Cece to respond. A shadow fell over them and he looked up, spotting a large bird flying around. It wasn't a pigeon or anything that he'd seen normally around here.
(I've got to go for now. Bye!)
"I'm going to the post office, but… is that a falcon?" Cece says, looking at where Luca was.
"I'm going to the post office, but… is that a falcon?" Cece says, looking at where Luca was.
(hold on I can fit one more in)
Luca shrugged. "I guess." He lived in the city; how was he supposed to know what a falcon looks like? "Don't see them around here. Maybe it got lost."
Skylar walked outside to get some fresh air and started heading for the park. When she walked out of the café, she saw a large bird shadow. She looked up and saw a falcon. Falcons don't live around these parts. What was happening?! First the mysterious note, then the disappearing girl, then the boy creating water, and now this?! Was she going insane?!
Ashira dove to a nearby sidewalk that no one was on and morphed back into a human. She tucked her tail into her hoodie and pulled her hood over her ears.
She walked around for a bit then saw the girl again, the girl from the alleyway.
While walking to the park, she bumped into someone, "Ah! Sor-" it was the girl again, "Hey! Can you explain why all this is happening?! What's up with this?! Do you know something?!" she screamed as loud as she dared.
