Cora and John sat under the odd tree, they both were drawing .
“Hey guys!” Bell shouted scaring them both.
“Bell! you always scare us like that!” John shouted.
Bell just smiled. “Sorry, but I found a new best friend!”
Cora and John looked at each other, then back at Bell. “What?”
“Just wait,” Bell shouted, “Hey! Come over here!”
Cora and John looked around to see who would be coming. A girl, the same size as Bell came running towards the group.
“She is so weird but really fun!” Bell said. “Her name is Asona.”
Asona stood by Bell and smiled. “Hi,” she said.
“Hi” Cora smiled.
John sighed. “Not another girl!”
The girls laughed. Cora got up and looked at Asona.
“Well if you want to be our best friends, there is a test you have to pass.” Cora said.
Asona gulped, she was a year younger than Bell. “What kind of test?”
Cora thought for a moment. “Okay, you have to…do a prank on Mother Matthews!”
Everyone gasped.
“Cora, that’s dangerous!” John shouted.
“Yeah, she wont get dinner for a whole month!” Bell added in.
“I can do it!” Asona said smiling. “I don’t like her anyway.”
Cora smiled, “Once you prank her you have to bring back her special pen she always uses.”
Asona nodded. “Okay! I’ll be back!”
Asona ran off, inside the house. The three friends stood and watched Asona go inside.
“Come on lets go!” Cora said.
“Why?”
“She might need help,”
Asona ran inside her room, well the room that all the girls slept in. Bell, Cora and John stood by the front window outside, it looked into the living room. Mother Matthews and a dozen kids were in the living room.
Bell, Cora and John looked inside waiting to see sight of Asona.
“What do you think she’s going to do?” John asked.
“I don’t know, but I hope its funny!” Cora said.
“She’s coming!” Bell shouted.
The three turned their attention inside. Asona hid behind the couch holding a shoebox. Mother Matthews stood, talking to the kids. Most of the kids not paying attention.
“Hey watch this.” Cora said.
Bell and John looked at Cora. Cora closed her eyes and concentrated. Inside Mother Matthews still lectured, while she took a step the floor beneath her moved. She almost fell, but caught herself. The kids inside laughed.
Mother Matthews shushed the children. “Remember your manners!” she shouted.
Cora laughed and moved the earth again. Bell and John looked at Cora, then inside to see the progress. Mother Matthews slid from one side of the room to the other. The kids laughed, and Asona lifted the lid on her shoebox.
A frog jumped from inside the box. It flew in the air and landed on Mother Matthews. She was still sliding across the floor. As the frog hit Mother Matthews face, she fell on the floor. She lay on the ground with a frog sitting on her face. Asona ran up to her and grabbed the pen from her hand.
The kids laughed, but some of the older kids helped Mother Matthews. Asona ran towards the front door. Bell, Cora and John ran to meet her at the front door.
Asona slammed the front door, she gasped for air. Bell, Cora and John caught up with her. Asona looked up at Cora, she handed the pen over.
“You did it!” Bell shouted.
Cora smiled, she lifted her arms and made a heart shape with her hands. Bell and John did the same. Asona stood straight and copied the three.
“Welcome,” Cora said.
Asona smiled, and looked at her new friends.
Cora never knew where she got that power. The power to move the earth beneath her. It just happened when she was younger and she never forgot it. Asona, Bell and John are the only people who know Cora’s secret talent.
Cora looked around her empty apartment. She leaned against the kitchen counter and took out her father’s journal. Cora opened the journal to a page and started to read it.
It has been a wonderful four moths with my new wife. We moved to a small house in the forest. Scarlet was afraid at first, but she got use to it. Its so peaceful, and wonderful scenery. A good place to raise children.
Cora thought of the small house. She wanted to remember it but she couldn’t. She was only a few moths old. Cora turned to the next page.
Today is filled with wonderful news! Scarlet is pregnant! I’m going to be a father! I’m so excited that I ran all the way to town and back. People stared but I don’t care. I’m going to be a father!
Cora smiled, she also laughed trying to imagine her father running around town shouting. She skipped a few pages.
Well today was a very odd day. While Scarlet was napping, there was a knock on the door. I answered it of course but the man who was there was very strange. He introduced himself as Negrandro, he immediately asked if a women was carrying a child. I answered yes. He bowed his head and turned away. Very strange.
Cora skipped a few pages after her birth.
Cora is now a week old. In one week, Scarlet and I been receiving letters from someone. It didn’t say who it was from, but I know it is from that strange man who visited while Scarlet was still pregnant. Its strange, the letters say,
“give her to me.”, “
The power must be mine.”,
"Watch for the dark figures at night.”
One time I saw them. They wore black and had yellow, glowing eyes. I heard whispers saying, “The power in her heart."
Cora looked up from the journal, she seen this dark figure before and it said the same thing to her. Cora was about to begin to read again when,
Knock, Knock!
Cora looked towards the door, “Better not be more cake.”
She looked through the peep whole on the door. It was dark outside, Cora couldn’t see who knocked.
“Um, who is it?” Cora asked.
“It’s Max,”
Cora unlocked the door and opened it.
“Hey, I brought you a plant.” Max said, holding a fern in a brown pot.
“Oh, thanks. Do you want to come in?” Cora asked.
“Sure,” Max walked into the empty apartment.
“The only thing I have to offer you is cake, sorry.” Cora said.
“That’s okay, it took me a while to get my apartment together.”
Cora walked to the kitchen counter where the cake was, Max followed. She stared at the cake and realized she had nothing to cut it.
“Oh!” Cora reached into her pocket and pulled out the pocket knife John gave her.
Max jumped as the knife popped out.
“This is all I have,” Cora said.
“Its okay, the cake will still be the same.”
Cora laughed, the knife sliced through the cake like butter. Cora took the slice out with the knife, Max took the slice.
“Is it good?” Cora asked.
Max took a bite. “Yup, Amber always makes the best cake.”
“I’ll have some later,” Cora said.
Cora walked to the kitchen sink and washed the chocolate off the sharp blade.
“So what are you going to do tomorrow?’ Max asked.
“Well, buy some stuff, find a job.” Cora said.
“Oh I think they’re hiring where I work,”
“Really?”
“Yeah, I don’t work tomorrow. Maybe I can introduce you to the boss.”
“That be great, I need a job.”
Cora had the blade in her hand. The chocolate from the cake was hard to get off. For one moment Cora took her attention from washing and looked out her small kitchen window. Yellow eyes blinked at Cora, a dark figure jumped into the darkness.
Cora gasped and dropped the knife.
“What! What happen?” Max said, running to Cora.
“I, I seen something outside.” Cora said, her voice shaky.
“Cora, your hand!” Max shouted.
Cora looked down at her hand. The knife sliced her palm when it fell. Blood started spill out. Cora turned on the water and put her hand under it.
“I have a first aid kit at my place.” Max said.
“No, I cant go outside! I can’t go.” Cora said, she slumped to the floor.
“I’ll be back then, don’t worry.” Max ran out the door.
Cora sat on the floor, putting pressure on her palm. Cora started to gasp for air. Around her it felt like it was getting smaller and spinning fast. Cora was panicking now, she fell to the ground with a loud thud.
