Clara made a pleased sound.
“Who is he?” she asked.
“I don’t know” he replied.
“And you’re a mind reader” Clara said standing up.
“It’s his thoughts. I can’t just snoop” she said surprised that Clara could think like that.
“You’ve been around humans’ way too long” and she stood up.
“Let’s go falling!” she yelled.
“No I’m okay where I am” she said.
“It’ll be fun” she replied pulling her up like she weighed nothing. “Now get on my back” she said presenting her back.
Daniella thought about it. Clara didn’t look like a liar, so maybe it’d be fun and she jumped wrapping her legs round her waist. “Hold on tight”
She took a running start and jumped off the ledge.
Both girls screamed. Danny for her life and Clara for joy.
‘I’m going to die’ Danny thought.
They were getting closer to the trees and she held on tighter.
Clara landed gently on a tree branch. “Cats always land on their feet” and she jumped down again.
When Clara had finally gotten to the ground, she had to take them back up to the ledge. She had to admit it was a pleasant experience, but she was never going to do it anytime soon.
She fell off Clara who just laughed at her.
“Weak and also a scaredy-cat” she said when she was done.
A thought hit her there and then.
“Please train me!” she practically yelled.
“I should train someone who doesn’t know anything about themselves” Clara said sitting down.
“It’s not my fault. It’s my parents”.
“If you say so” she rolled her eyes.
“Please Clara” she said looking into her piercing green eyes and she was sucked in.
She saw fire, destruction and war. And in the midst of it all Clara crying and she was pushed back out.
“Oh my goodness!” she exclaimed. “Was that you? Was that your life?” she asked. “What happened?”
Clara’s face was blank and she grabbed Daniella by her collar bringing her close. ‘Where did fangs come from?’ she thought so scared that she might pee.
“Ever look into my mind like that, forget about friendship. I will kill you!” she actually growled.
“I’m sorry” Danny apologized softly and Clara pushed her away.
She stood up running her fingers through her hair.
Danny dusted herself off still looking at the ground.
“Let’s get you back” she said still not looking at her.
She did it the same way they came and they were back in the clearing and their stuff was still there. It was night.
“Different time zones” Clara explained.
“I’ll follow you so I can know your house” Clara said already moving.
Daniella struggled to catch up and led the way to her house. The silence was deafening and so uncomfortable. But soon they had arrived.
“So, I’ll see you tomorrow” Danny said shifting her weight on both feet.
“Yeah very early” she said.
“Sorry for what happened. Normally I can control it” she said.
“Don’t mention it’ she said flipping her hair. Her extra stuff was gone.
“But-“
“Do not mention it” she said again seriously.
“Tomorrow your training starts” she said.
“Really?” she asked.
“Yes”. She held her hands out before Danny jumped on her.
“Thank you so much!” she squealed.
“I’m not going to go easy on you so be prepared” she said.
“Yes!” she said letting go.
“Goodnight” she said.
“Goodnight” Danny said.
She was there and then she wasn’t. Just traces of her energy.
