The Markless

Chapter 3: A-Beaut-Fae

Her eyes is a shade of icy blue with a hint of silver, it’s the second most beautiful eyes I’ve ever laid on. I gasped when I realized I was staring at her so long. She laughs at me like she knew what I was thinking, I smiled at her shyly in return, burying my thoughts about her gorgeous face,

“Hello, my name is….” Before I get to say my name, she held her hand across my mouth shutting me off,

“First, My name is Samantha Carroll, and that man who is talking to Ben is Dave Dickens, well I guess you already know”, I nodded. Oh what a fitting last name he got there, I chuckled earning a glare from Dave the d**k.

"And yours is Avery Summer Leighton”, I was shocked at what I heard, how the hell she knows my name? Can she really read my mind like I guess she would?, or does Ben knows this person too then who knows told her my name? Oh my head is spinning. She slowly removed her hands off of my mouth smiling at me and apologizing for doing something rude to me, I looked at her with curiosity flashing in my eyes,

“It’s nice meeting you, Avery, I’ve been waiting a long time for this moment”, she warmly said, I’m confused about what’s happening, first, this guy Dave-the-d**k comes along, talking like his friend’s with Ben, then this woman too? I feel like getting sick, I don’t feel good when I’m around with many people, let alone two people in this room.

I don’t think my brain can handle too much stress. Feeling my helpless situation, Samantha sat me down to the nearest seat available then holds my hand reminding myself to calm down, then reassures me with the look in her eyes asking if I’m okay.

“I can tell you’re pretty shock with this”, she chuckled,

“Yeah, its not like I can meet people everyday”, I said, I breath in and out, calming myself, thinking of today’s breakfast and the caffeine cursing through my veins urging to bring out my happiness on the surface. As I feel myself calming down, seating with an upright posture, organizing my thoughts of what I’m going to question first. They looked back at me, set of three pairs of eyes waiting to open my mouth. Ugh. This sucks, it feels like I’m the one getting interrogated instead of them. I exhaled and asked of my first question,

“Well, first thing first, who are you and how did you get here?”, I asked with sweaty palms forming between my hands,

"We are the secret order called ‘Phoenix Moon Order’, it is an organization who helps..”, Samantha hesitates for a moment looking at Ben for confirmation of what she’s going to say next, Ben nods at her,

“Helps special people kind of like protecting a special being and we are sent to you and Ben for assistance, for what’s the reason of it, I’m afraid I can’t answer that jelly bean, but, how did we get here?", Samantha smirked at me, raising her hands facing me then suddenly her palms burst into flames then flicker for a moment, like it was stabilizing itself and to what it seems like forming into a transparent ball.

Wow, I don’t believe what my eyes are seeing, is that magic? Do magic really exists? I thought that those people who possess such powers were extinct? My head is aching again, I sighed closing my eyes,

“No darling, we’re not using magic,” Dave said while copying what Samantha did earlier. I gasped at what is happening in front of me. And what amazes me the most is , Ben, staring at them like he was seeing this since he was born. I think Ben is more ancient than these two. I found my voice starting to ask more questions about them,

“Then you used that crazy thing you showed to me to find us? How did that crystal fire ball find us?", I asked scared at what I will find out, my brain cannot digest any more information,

“I’m sorry jelly bean, but I'm afraid we aren’t allowed to disclose how this abilities of ours work, you only have to know this thingy found you, and we did not tell Ben about it to”, looking at Ben shaking his head, well, I guess telling Ben what are they and those abilities they have, still they cannot exclude the fact that they can get killed or hunted knowing they possess such outstanding powers, they are not willing to take that risk telling Ben,

“Then, how did you know my name without me telling,then Dave doesn’t?” She turned at Ben asking, I didn’t catch her words, but I guess it has something to do with that ancient paper again.

“I’m sorry jelly bean, I can’t either”, forming a sad smile across her face knowing that so many questions of mine were unanswered, I reached out my hand to her to know that it’s fine. I promise that I will found out that myself,

“Uhm, one last question?”, She smiled ready to answer one last time,

“What’s that ancient paper Ben is holding? Is it that important that they totally discussed it speaking like an ancient person would? I know that it has something to do with me cause’ the chills I’m getting off of them is seriously scaring me, how can someone talks about you like I was about to get killed by someone then don’t get an explanation? I think I deserve one yes? Especially if there is really a psychotic bastard out there ready to pounce and kill me”, I snapped staring at the two jerks avoiding my eyes. Samantha shook her head then gave the two a painful smack on their heads, hell, that was even louder than earlier, wide-eyes looking at Samantha. She better teach me that smacking technique.

“Jelly bean, Do you really want to know?”, She gazed at me intently,

“Yeah, I want to know, I’m not a kid anymore, am I Ben?”, giving Ben a staring competition at the edge of my seat, Ben nods in return,

“Okay, I’ll tell you about it, and maybe I can teach you if we have time jelly bean”, Samantha nod her head toward the window. s**t. It’s already afternoon, that long huh?

“Ben, are we still leaving?” I asked, “Nope kiddo, we’re going to stay for at least 3 days until Samantha and Dave are settled in with their business”,

“Okay? And what is that?”, I pouted. They’re still keeping their mouth shuts about this business,

“Well, that my dear is not for you to know”, Dave answered while spreading peanut butter on a bread, this guy don’t have manners. Really? Now you’re getting yourself food without giving a thought of asking us for permission,

“Well, my dear that bread and peanut butter you’re holding is not for you to eat”, I said mocking him at his words,

“How can you keep up with your boyfriend Samantha?”, Samantha gasped and annoyed by what I've just said like it was a vermin to her,

“Technically speaking, He is NOT my BOYFRIEND, I prefer to call our relationship to an associate partner, and we’re not in that level where we can call each other out”, She explained,

Oh. I too don’t want that stage either if I were her. I’m so tired, I think I’m going to take a nap for a while, getting up from the chair I waved at them that I was going to the bedroom to take a quick nap and to absorb what happened just now. I walked upstairs, laid down on the bed, closed my eyes, then drifted off to happy-land.
