Danny got her bag and moved to another seat. She sat down beside a boy who looked like he wanted to be anywhere else but here. He had his cheek on his fist and his legs crossed outside his seat. It made him look cool.
The sun reflected on his brown hair making him look divine. She had never really looked at boys before, but he was different and he wasn’t human. She got out her notes when the teacher walked in and closed the door.
Nothing spectacular happened till the end of the day.
“Can you stop sulking already?” Danny asked following Clara.
“You let a human do that to you. You’re weaker than I thought” she said still walking.
“Well since you’re so strong tell me what you can do!” Danny snapped.
“Gladly” she said. “Follow me” she whispered.
Danny realized they were walking into the woods behind the school.
“Where are we going?” she asked a little bit scared.
“My spot” she replied and Clara led her to a clearing.
“So what’s your power?”
“Apart from looking good, I have other attributes. I’m strong and fast. And so is every other supernatural out there if you cared to open a history book” she said dryly.
“Okay I’m uninformed stop rubbing it in my face” she said.
“What kind of friend would I be if I just watch you waste away and be corrupted” she said with big eyes.
“Can you just tell me what I need to know?” she asked.
“I’m from home world. I come from Sava but I moved to Tempa due to unforeseen circumstances and I stayed there for a while before I decided to move to earth. My quadrant from home world is very unique. We have animal abilities and were the first to ever merge with their spirit animal” she explained.
“Okay, I think I understand” Danny said shaking her head.
“Mine is a cat. What’s yours?” she asked.
“I don’t have one” Danny whispered very embarrassed that she didn’t know anything.
“Clueless” Clara sighed.
“When you bond with your animal they become a part of you and you get a tattoo” and Clara showed her tongue.
“Yuck!!” Danny exclaimed. There was a cat on her tongue.
“I didn’t chose it. Cats are just mischievous creatures” she said.
“Yeah, you said something about transforming”.
“I only transform fully when it’s serious, but this will blow your tiny, ignorant mind” she said tapping her forehead.
She stood up and gold light surrounded her. Danny took a few steps back to protect herself and the light went down and when she saw Clara again she screamed.
Clara just laughed.
At the top of her head were cat ears and she could see a tail from under her skirt wagging back and forth lazily. And she didn’t have fingernails anymore. It looked like claws.
“So how do I look?” she asked striking a pose.
“Weird” Danny replied.
“So, do you want to see home world?” she asked. “I’ll be able to explain everything better”.
“Sure” she replied.
“Okay, stand up” she said.
Danny stood up and she felt her blinding energy beneath her. There were weird diagrams on the ground and the same patterns on her palms. Gold light came out of the ground and they were covered in it. She felt all tingly and then there was nothing but silence.
She didn’t know that she had closed her eyes. When she opened them again she saw dark sky with a lot of colorful stars decorating it and looking down from where she stood was a place she never knew she would see.
“Welcome to home world!” Clara announced.
The place was weird and beautiful. First of it was like a circle divided into four.
“Tempa, Sava, Elementa and Luvina” Clara said pointing.
Danny looked at where they stood and it looked like a ledge of some sort. Like they were on a mountain.
“So can you tell me what those places do?” she asked.
“Yes” Clara replied getting comfortable on the ground.
“Sava or as everyone one else likes to call it Savages. We are brutal and ruthless and were kind of slow in civilization and everything else. Animal abilities for everyone and monster strength. It depends on your animal sometimes. If you’re a fish, you won’t be able to win in a fist fight. We were the first to merge with our spirit animals like I said so thank you”.
“Tempa are the people with stick up their asses. Giant sticks! They think that their above everyone because they are far in technology. Well they have completely evolved unlike most planets. They have all those fancy powers. Telekinesis, Telepathy, teleportation. All those powers you see humans give their superheroes”. “They don’t even use their animals for transportation. They use hover boards and ships. Just a bunch of show offs”.
“Elementa kind of broke out from Sava. We are kind of the same with the animals and the abilities, but they control the elements. They had a long war going on that almost destroyed home world, but Ice won and they’re okay” she shrugged.
“Luvina is the dark planet. They don’t have a sun only the moon. Anyone who is bad and is a villain come from there. They’re powerful and untouchable. Tried fighting them before and I lost. They control the shadows and the moon is their power source. Never fight them when the moon is out” she said.
“Okay I think I get it” Danny said rocking back and forth.
“Why did you move from Sava?” she asked.
“My mum is a Tempan and because of that DNA I was blessed with a unique power. I moved there to get in touch with my roots” she said.
“What power is that?” Danny asked leaning closer.
“You know when a puppeteer controls his puppets, just like that story?”
Danny hummed.
“Well I can control people like a puppeteer” she replied and her finger tips glowed gold. “You’re supernatural so you can see the strings. A human won’t be able to see it” she said.
“Can you fly?” Danny asked.
“No, but I can fall” she replied.
“Oh” she said blinking confused.
“Falling is better than flying” she replied.
“I’m good” she replied.
“So is there any guy you like?” Clara asked.
“No” Danny replied looking up at the sky.
“Girl?” she asked with a cat grin her tail up and swinging.
“No” Danny chuckled.
“Guy then?” she asked her ears twitching.
“Well, there was this guy I sat close to in class” she began.
