«We Could Be Legends»

"Oh really? What changed your mind? Did someone else have a panic attack?" Toby said. You're scared of her. A voice in his head thought. I'm not scared of her, I'm scared of what she can do. Oh, so you're turning into one of those people afraid of everyone's powers? Pathetic. Shut up. He turned his head slightly towards River, his eyes keeping a close watch on Indigo. He briefly glanced at River, and his eyes shot back to Indigo, like he expected her to attack him in the few seconds he looked away.

Indigo stared at him in question.
"You mix your meds?" She asked.

Indigo stared at him in question.
"You mix your meds?" She asked.

Toby stared at her in shock. "What?" He asked. He started to panic a little. Did I take them? I must have, Alpha wouldn't have let me forget. What does she know that I don't? Stop, she's trying to mess with me. It's working.

"Well what else are we supposed to do with it? It's not like we have any use for a key without a lock." She whispered back "Besides, how else will we get them back?"


"Hmm, we could take the extra van mom has, but I've only got my beginners license."

"Uh- 1000.. feet." Peter stammered. "I mean, about. We tested it once. I could go like 950 feet, but I think I can go a bit farther now."

"Ok, I was thinking that I could fly some of you guys, & you could teleport however far you can go, repeatedly until we get there. That should keep us pretty evenly together, & we don't have to worry about ruining the van. Do you think that could work?" She asked.

"Um... well.." Peter looked up at Jessi then back at his feet. "The thing is, I can't teleport more than 1000 feet in one day. It kinda sucks.." He looked back up uncomfortably. "But I can teleport into the backs of cars... I could follow you."

"Oh. In that case I think we should take the van. I have a license & I've drove Toby's car without an issue before."

"Okay," Peter said. There was relief in his voice. Last time he had truck-hopped had not gone well.

"That could work. How many can fit on it?" Jessi asked.

"It could fit me and one other person." Brisa replied. "I can also try to float someone along with us, my powers are all rested up from yesterday." So the wet-bird-feeding guy's name is Peter. She thought absentmindedly.

"So there are six people, right? I can carry three, your hover board can hold two, what will we do with the last one? I could try to carry four, but I might not be able to. At the very least it would make me really slow. The biggest thing I've carried would be Grace, or Toby & Alpha at the same time. There's also the van. Sorry, I'm thinking out loud right now." Jessi said.

"Maybe the van would be our best bet right now. Do you know how many it holds?" Brisa asked.

(*sings* I'm thinking o-o-out loud, and maybe we found love right where we are... I'll stop now )

"No, I don't. I think it's aunt Tayn's car." Jessi said.

( )

"Is it in the garage? Maybe it isn't the best plan, especially if we're trying to stay quiet." Brisa said.
(Sorry for the short post! I'm gonna head to bed. )

"Yeah, we could get arrested for stealing her car." Jessi replied.
(It's fine, my posts have been really short too. Goodnight!)

Alice waited and listened to all of the different options, and then rolled her eyes in disgust at herself, how like mom. "Or, how about I take the the hoverboard, to go back home, leave a note saying I took the van for an emergency and come back and get you guys. I mean, we don't really live that far away. I just have to avoid my mom, who's probably passed out on the couch by now anyway."

"Ok, don't get caught if that's what you decide to do." Jessi said.

I think he did... he's starting to panic.
"I mean, my voice can't do much, it can only soothe you more than any medication..." Indigo said.
Emily looked ready to slap her across the face to stop her teasing, but this also was the man who left her daughter at the mercy of his vicious hound. So she stood there and looked smug. In the rain. Her face actually matched Indigos. Actually kinda creepy if you are a fan of deja vu and connecting stuff to hare-brained conspiracies like the fact that Indigo was an enchantress, and so was Mapleshade and Mapleshade was a cat woman who was tortoiseshell, and so was Emily and Emily shared the same expression as the enchantress, of which Mapleshade was.

"S-stop it." Toby stuttered, taking a few steps away. He was starting to shake slightly. Alpha saw Toby start to panic & started nudging his arm. Toby shoved his hands into his pockets to try and hide his shaking. This was a bad idea. I shouldn't have come. Screw me for being so impulsive. He backed into his car & jumped when something suddenly touched him.

(I probably have to go to bed soon.)

(Toby must be the only creepy conspiratorial type.
I would think they looked ironically normal)

"Ok, don't get caught if that's what you decide to do." Jessi said.

Alice nodded it seemed like the only viable option at this point. Though if her mom caught her she'd be in a ton of trouble. She didn't do any of her essay last night. With everything that happened yesterday she couldn't manage to concentrate on school work.

"Here," she said giving the police business card with the address scribbled on it, and the folded paper with the key symbol to Camilla. "If I'm not back in 10 minutes you guys go without me. Oh, but that only works if you have the hover board." She looked at it and nodded to herself. "I'll just have to walk." She said with a sigh. "Give me 20. If I'm not back by then, Mom's killed me."

Alice turned and took off toward home. Running up the sidewalk alone. All alone. She shrugged away the nervous itch between her shoulders the feeling of being watched. She'd be fine. If the Pure wanted her they could have grabbed her last night anytime. They weren't going to try to grab her in broad daylight.

What were they going to do? Camilla was right giving them the key was probably a bad idea. What made her the idea person anyway? Giving the people who would be willing to kill someone, and attack, drug, and kidnap teenagers, exactly what they wanted seemed like it would be a terrible idea. What would the key unlock? But then again, what would the Pure do to them, if they got the key and didn't hand it over? She shook her head still jogging up the sidewalk the rain sprinkling her face. Maybe she should just tell her mom what was going on. Not that she'd listen. She would probably just insist she stay out of it It's too dangerous. Alice's pace slowed, she felt the worry welling up in her chest. It was dangerous. Her breaths came quick and shallow, combining running and worry was making her feel sick. White wisps of mist puffed from her mouth into the icy drizzle. Maybe they really should call the police. She kept a slow steady pace the rest of the way home. There was nothing her mom would be able to do to help.

When she finally made it back to her house, the van was parked out front as usual, her moms car likely parked in the garage.

Alice walked up the driveway, as casually as she could. Last thing she wanted was to have to explain why the neighbors called about her sneaking around early in the morning.

The front door whined on it's hinges as she pushed it open slowly. She grimaced and slowly peeked her head inside, then slipped in the rest of the way. Her heart was pounding in her chest and her ears strained to hear the slightest noise coming from further inside the house. Alice left the door open behind her, she didn't need it making anymore noise than necessary. The keys were right there hanging on a hook. But she should really leave a note especially with her phone being dead. She looked through the entryways inner door to the kitchen. Her phone still sat where she had left it the night before on the counter. Suddenly it clicked in her head. How could she have been so dense? She might not have a phone, but Camilla did and she could text their mom about using the van. Perfect! She thought, and carefully took the key off the hook. The door groaned again when it was shut the latch clicking in to place seemed 1000x louder than normal. She waited a few moments listening and still holding the door knob. Nothing. She was going to pull it off!

She grinned broadly, proud of her sneaking skills. Alice hopped into the drivers seat of the the van, scrunching her nose while trying to ignore the wet carpet and spilled coffee smell. This old thing was what her parents had picked up cheap, for her to learn to drive in, something they didn't really care if it got ruined. Of course to her it was the best thing ever even if it did smell, because it meant freedom once she finally got her full licence.

Alice started it and put in drive looking over her shoulder with her hand at the top of the wheel like she was supposed to. Released the brake and gently pressed down on the gas. The van surged forward.


Surprised she slammed on the brake, which lurched her forward. Alice giggled nervously.
"Good job genius!" she said aloud. "Driving the car through the living room window would wake mom, RIGHT UP."

Alice decided it would be best to put on her seat belt now, before she actually got going. Then carefully shifted the van in to reverse concentrating far more on that small task than should ever be needed. You're doing great just don't hit anything.

Alice slowly and cautiously backed out of the driveway, and turned toward River's.

And River mentioning Gage, but she didnt realize the Emily was at the Ihop. So he could have totally tagged along.

Allowed access by a leniently cracked window, a cool breeze tiptoed across freckled cheeks to whisper dawn's greeting to prone ears.
Ash rolled out of bed, throwing her feet down hard on the hardwood floor. She practically bounced across the room, ever the early bird. She was infallibly the first one up in her house- for one, she couldn't escape the restless gossip of the breezes of a newborn day, and second, she just didn't lock it out either.
Her brunette hair sprung up in delightful knots as she skipped around and pirouetted with the deep forest green curtains to unleash sunlight into the darkened room. Clad in gym shorts and a ratty gray t-shirt etched with a faded deer's mug, she'd run the perimeter of the entire town and then some starting right now if only her husband didn't demand his daily coffee made only the way she could right when she was about to screech in impatience from being kept inside for so long and not a second earlier. And if she tried to leave without waking him, he'd always appear the moment she set foot outside.
Connor moaned a protest and curled into a heap as his wife barraged him with a stream of pillows from some secret stash he was somehow constantly caught unawares by. "Go get Dyn up if you want to go running with someone."
Ash peered back in at him from where she was already twirling gaily through the hallway. "Doubt she's here. I never saw her come home last night."
She flung her daughter's door open without any heed to forewarning any potentially sleeping occupant. She sighed as the immaculate bed confirmed Bleddyn's absence, not concerned but just with a bemused sort of halfhearted disappointment. Sometimes it seemed that her nonconformist teenager preferred her friends' houses to her own- and was there really anything wrong with that? It was good for a girl to have friends that she could comfortably drop in on like extended branches of her immediate family. Wish I got to spend my younger years as she does hers.
Not about to waste a glorious morning on remorseful reminiscence, Ash wheeled back into the main bedroom and plopped back down onto the bed, shamelessly regardless to how she bumped Connor enough that he landed with his head hanging off the opposite edge, body precariously promising to follow. His jet black scruffy mop was sticking out in every direction from all the static it'd been flirting with, but otherwise Connor could've passed for a limp mannikin; Ash still found it impossible to hold the schoolgirlish giggles back at his perpetual reluctance to rise.
"I was right. Bet she stayed over at Tayn or River's. I'll call her home so someone can get his precious additional hour of sleep."
She fetched her phone off of the side table guarded by a bristling marble wolf, swiping all of the attention-deprived notifs to deletion and consecutively being eternally forgotten.
The last time Bleddyn actually had her own phone with her...that girl is hopeless.
Humming a million tunes and not knowing a single lyric, she scrolled through her contacts and tapped twice on River's smiling face. Who wants to text when you can talk and be actually somewhat personal?
She put the phone up to her ear as she was serenaded by the dialing buzzes, and waited.

River winced as her phone buzzed uncontrollably. Please don't be Zen or Thomas... She pulled her phone out, answering it. "Hey... Ash. What's up?" She said, fearing the coming conversation.

Indigo was dressed humbly in jeans and a sweater along with her pea-coat.
"Did we really have to go here? She muttered. "It's still raining."

She opened the car door and pulled out a graceful black umbrella and unfolded it. She handed a red one to Emily.
They stood there in the rain.
"Hey," Emily said to the man who let a dog loose on her daughter.

River momentarily pulled the phone from her face. "Um... Hey."

I think he did... he's starting to panic.
"I mean, my voice can't do much, it can only soothe you more than any medication..." Indigo said.

"Enchanter, lay off him, please."
