Chapter 11
“Logan, do you know any royal families?” I asked, hoping he did. He gave me a weird look. “What?”
“There is only one royal family, Iz. Why?” I rolled my head a little. “Isabelle? What do you want to know about the royals?” I clicked my tongue against my top teeth.
“Well the kids stopped by the school today to talk to me. Apparently they were looking for me because I’m going to be the son’s guard when I’m powerful.” Logan groaned. “And apparently one of the kids was my best friend in preschool. Sophia.”
“I didn’t know Sophia was part of the royal family.” I nodded my head. “Wow then what was she doing at a regular preschool with you.” I shrugged my shoulders.
“I just found that out today, Logan. The royal’s son Jayden kept staring at me, it was weird and uncomfortable.” Logan’s eyes widen. “What?”
“Um aren’t you dating Asher.” I choked. “Oh I know Isabelle. I’m not stupid. You guys make it obvious when you around each other.” I can’t believe Logan knew about Asher and me. I know he wouldn’t tell mom or dad. Asher would be killed if they found out.
“You won’t tell mom or dad, right Logan?”
“Of course I won’t tell mom or dad. If dad found out, then Asher’s screwed.” I rolled my eyes. “Just saying.”
“What about me?” Logan shrugged his shoulders. “Nothing will happen to me because I’m dad’s baby girl and only baby girl.” Logan chuckled to himself.
“That doesn’t mean anything. You’re part of it.” I rolled my eyes again. I guess I was part of it with Asher. “Just make sure they don’t found out or Hunter or Alexander either. Because you know if Hunter or Alexander they are going to tell mom and dad just to feel good about themselves.” Yup that sounded like Alexander and Hunter. Big mouthed older brothers.
“I’m surprised you didn’t say anything, Logan.” Logan put his hand on his chest like he was hurt. I know he wasn’t because he was bad at acting or pretending.
“I’m hurt, Isabelle.” I smiled and rolled my eyes. “I’m so hurt. I could cry.”
“Whatever, Logan. You’re the worst actor alive.” Logan gasped and covered his mouth. “Oh my gosh, Logan. Shut up.” I laughed at him. Logan got up from my bed and walked to the door.
“I’m really hurt, Isabelle.” He walked out of my room. I started cracking up. “Very hurt.” He yelled from the hallway. My brother is really special. Of course he tried to act, but everyone knew he wasn’t the actor of the family. Apparently I was the drama queen in the family, which was a lie.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I asked Asher if he could drive me to school and drop me off early, because I knew Taylor got to school early to practice a little before school starts. I needed to talk to her. I already asked mom and dad if I could tell her my secret, they said that if I really trust her than I could tell her. They weren’t promise she won’t freak out about it.
I was really scared to tell her. What if she doesn’t talk to me because I’m different? Hopefully she doesn’t do that. I don’t want to hang out with Hunter and Tasha, the couple that aren’t a couple but they act like it.
I walked to the gym where Taylor was practicing. I opened the door to the gym. When I walked in the door slammed close. Taylor looked to see who it was. She didn’t look happy to see me.
“Hi, Taylor.” She didn’t say anything and went back to practicing. “I wanted to talk to about something.” She still didn’t say anything to me. “I know you’re mad at me, Taylor. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you in the first place, but I wasn’t allowed to say anything to anyone. Tasha and Asher already knew because they’re just like me.” Taylor stopped practicing.
“What do you mean Tasha and Asher are just like you?” Taylor asked. She finally said something.
“That’s why I’m here.” Taylor looked at me. “I’m very different from you, Taylor.”
“How different? Are you human?” She asked. I smiled, but faded away.
“Yes I’m human, but a special human. I have special abilities that no human here has.” Taylor looked very confused. “I’m not from here. I’m from a place called Esprit. I have vision of the future, some times they come true and some times they don’t. Apparently I’m going to by powerful when I get all my abilities. I control the elements or something like that.”
“Wait that was you. You started that random earthquake.” I nodded my head. “How did that happen?”
“Well I started getting mad, the earth started shaking. Everyone was telling me to calm down, which was pissing me off more. I was using too much and I fainted.”
“So your family have special abilities, too?” I nodded my head. “What about Tasha and Asher?” I nodded my head again. “Are you allowed to tell me what they have?”
“I’m not sure, but I’m sure Hunter and Tasha would tell you if you asked them.”
“Can I ask your family?” I shrugged my shoulders.
“I guess. I mean I had to ask my parents if I could tell you. You can’t really trust a lot of people these days.” Taylor nodded her head. “So are we friends again?”
“Oh hon we were always friends.” I walked up to Taylor and hugged her.
“I missed you, Tay.” She laughed.
“Iz, honey it’s been a day.”
“I know, but still.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At lunch Taylor sat with Hunter, Tasha and me. Taylor was asking Hunter and Tasha what their ability was. Hunter looked at me. He wasn’t sure if he could trust Taylor. ‘Mom and dad said it’s fine.’ I mouthed to Hunter. He nodded his head before he mouthed, ‘do you trust her?’ I nodded my head.
“You don’t have to answer the question if you don’t want to. I understand.”
“No, I was making sure it was okay. I have the ability to control, generate or absorb water.” Hunter said. Taylor nodded her head, then looked at Tasha.
“I can heal others.” Taylor nodded her head again.
“So no one here knows about you guys having abilities. Besides me.” Hunter and Tasha nodded their heads. “Interesting. So there are other like you?” I nodded my head.
“Some are good. Some are bad. There is a royal family. The guy and two girls yesterday are royal and I’m going to be the royals son’s guard when I become powerful. Bad guys want me on their side when I’m powerful as well.”
“So are you the only person to have more than one ability?” I nodded my head. “Wow. Do you know what other abilities you’re going to happen?”
“That’s something no one in my family know. Not Tasha or Asher know either. That’s kinda the bad thing.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After school Taylor and I stayed after school because Taylor wanted to practice more before the game in two days. Hunter and Tasha got a ride from Asher. Even though Tasha was going over to Aunt Sabrina’s house to “study” with Hunter. I swear if one of them doesn’t ask anyone out I’ll do it myself. It was getting really annoying to watch them flirt, but not hold hands or kiss.
“Tay, I think you push yourself too hard. You’re the most volleyball player at this school.” I told her.
“I know. But my coach said there’s going to be a scout at the next game.” I rolled my eyes.
“Tay, there were scouts at the last game you had.” I was helping her practicing, but wasn’t very good at volleyball. Actually I wasn’t very good at any sport.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After helping Taylor practice, she and I walked to the parking lot. I told Asher, Logan and dad I was going to get a ride with Taylor. We needed to catch up on things that we missed on. I found out that Taylor’s brother asked out one of the cheerleaders, but got turned down. He was upset for the whole day and he asked about me.
“Wait he asked about me?” Taylor nodded her head. “Why?”
“That boy got it bad for you. Even though he hides it from his friends.” I kind of figured Jason liked me, but I didn’t like him that way. I see him as another brother I don’t want.
“Hello, Isabelle.” I heard someone say. I looked away from Taylor. It was Damon with Lilith and Seth. Crap.
“Um Iz, do you know them?” I nodded my head. I couldn’t really talk right now. I’m screwed and Taylor is dead. “Who are they?”
“They’re the bad guys I was talking about. Damon, Lilith, and Seth. They’re part of a group of other bad guys called Démoniaque Mortelle.”
“Um what’s going to happen?” Taylor started to panic. I shrugged my shoulders.
