As soon as Violet stops fangirling over Alexis, I check the clock.

"If we leave now we can be there on time." She is still giggling whenever she turns to me,

"Is it already that late?" I nod. She smiles more as she walks over and loops her arm around mine, head on shoulder, "Then we should better go!"

I force the blush down. No way will I allow myself to- Damn it I'm already blushing.

Alexis hovers over and becomes a metal snake, her body snapping together as she coils around my throat to appear as apart of my shirt. The tip of her tail becomes a needle that she places at the base of my neck.

One of our secrets: I lose control of my abilities when I get too emotional.

As soon as we get into public, our phones ring again.

'AbaqBaeidana: I'm at the spot, were are you two?

BloodyWizardCupcake807: Well, Kyle thought we were being followed. And we were, by his robot that's REALLY COOL.

BloodyWizardCupcake807: Also, hope you aren't as awkward around females as he is.

I mock hurt as I look at her,

"Owww!" She laughs and pats my arm as we walk,

"Sorry, not sorry." I gasp,

"Well I can't be all that bad." She looks at me through her eyelashes,

"Oh? And what makes you think that?" I grin as I lean down and whisper close to her ear,

"Because even after the danger is gone, you've still got your arms wrapped around me." She blushes a bright red and hits me again, this time pushing away from me.

Ha. Show you.

Wait.

Was that... flirting? Did I just FLIRT??

I look back to the phone.

'AbaqBaeidana: Wow. That bad, eh?

KÿlęSønavoñ2019: Yeah, except that she is now blushing and walking away from me.

'AbaqBaeidana: I don't know if I should clap for you or say nice things at your funeral.

BloodyWizardCupcake807: I take back my precious statement. You have a lot to live up to.

When I look back up to her, she has her hair covering her face and is picking up the pace.

I'm easily keeping up with her.

'AbaqBaeidana: That's a bit to look up to. Don't get your hopes up.

Then the chat is silent.

Violet smiles up and me,

"You know, you really surprised me back there." My confusion must've been obvious because she continues, "When you flirted."

So it WAS flirting.

"Oh..." I rub the back of my neck, "Yeah, it surprised me too."

She falls silent as we get closer. That is, until our phones go off and she mumbles:

"Couldn't have waited five more seconds?"

'AbaqBaeidana: I've learned something: Triggered Raccoons Always Poop.

What the...?

"Did he think we needed that information?" I hear her ask right as I catch on.

Triggered Raccoons Always Poop.

TRAP

Please let me be wrong about this.

I grab her elbow as quick as I can and pull her closer,

"Hey, what if we surprise him? You know, like turn invisible. Can you do that?" Her eyes light up,

"That's brilliant! I can't believe I didn't think of that!" With a whisper of a spell, she fades away.

So, a Ranged Verbal type of magic.

I'll blend in and whisper my spell too, even if it is just for show.

The world becomes black and white with multiple shades of grey. The only color is the other invisible one, Violet. She's brilliantly bright against this background.

We move forwards silently, her with excitement and me with caution.

Is it right for me to not tell her it's a trap? Should I have told her?

Well, can't now. If you speak in this mode the spell evaporates. I guess I could use telekinesis, but that might be intruding to her.

When we round the corner of the theater, we are greeted by a group of people in blankets as robes.

Alien Activists.

"Where are they?!" The one that looks be the leader shouts at a pile of dirty clothes. Looks to be some blood splatter on them, quite a lot near the edge.

The pile lifts a small bit.

A head.

I have to cover my mouth, Alexis gives a gentle prick on my neck in warning.

Violet isn't so lucky, she lets out a small gasp.

They all turn.

"What was that." He demands, narrowing his eyes. The one closest to her reaches out his hand.

Violet stumbles back too late and a twig snaps under her foot.

"It's magic! They're here!!" Another cries out. The next to the leader raises a weapon, a portable laser, at Steven's head,

"Reveal yourselves or he dies!" Before I have time to come up with a plan, Violet undoes her spell. She holds her hands up,

"It's just me! Kyle had something happen at home and had to turn back, he should be here later." The blanketed man closest shoves her down beside Steven,

"Want me to check, Boss?" The Leader nods and he holds up a pair of binoculars, each lends has a purple tint to it. He raises them to his face.

Aliens made technology to prevent magicians from using spells to sneak past security, he has an illegal pair in his hands.

And I'm in its path.

My eyes glow invisibly as I crouch and move my hands in fluid motions, making a circle of smoky power. Whenever his goggles come in my area I blow it on them.

He doesn't even slow down.

It worked.

"She's right. He isn't here." He announces and puts those blasted things away. The Leader kneels beside Vi,

"Good. We would have had to do something to her if she had lied." There is a round of laughter that circles the group. Steven snarls words I can't speak,

"You're disgusting pigs, wait, even they wouldn't be this smelly." This earns him a kick in his gut, my fists clench and only unclench whenever Alexis pokes again.

"You think you're so much better? I have your powers right here-" He holds up a sphere with a dark red-black sparkling air, "-in this. You are just like us!" He continues to kick Steven.

"No! No stop it!! Stop it!!" Violet's body glows harshly in an attack spell. I recognize the killing nature and feel the power she has that can back it up.

Even if she is a Ranged attacker, she has a good explosive ability. But it doesn't matter how good you are, explosive spells are the most unstable.

The Leader raises his hand and narrows his eyes,

"Stop, or I'll make you." She looks up with pure fear in her eyes.

She's lost control.
