Chapter 9 Sleeping Beauty
(Scarlet's POV)
This was the craziest weekend I ever experienced. Firstly, that stone then that lady and lastly meeting the supers.
I unconsciously touched the pendant Ryder gave me. I still remember everything, and I knew that Ryder hasn't told me everything. He knew more than he was letting on.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I opened my eyes to see myself in a sports car, it looked quite expensive.
"Oh, thank god! You are awake. I thought I had to kiss you to wake you up, Sleeping beauty"
Wide-eyed, I looked to my right to see Ryder sitting there wearing his mask and sunglasses on top of it. Seeing him, made me remember everything that fights, helping him, and lastly that magical shield and the change of color of eyes.
"OMG! MY EYES CHANGED COLOR. AND THAT SHEILD AND ......."
"Yes, your eyes color changed, and yes you made that shield, but I am not supposed to tell you that, and please stop screaming."
He said that while tapping his fingers on the steering wheels.
Wait, I am sitting in a car with a super. Where are we again? And What did he just say? I must have looked at him as if he had grown two heads as he started to laugh and that made me even more confused.
Normally when a person is confused, he/she waits for the other person to slowly explain everything to them. But I am anything but normal and anyways normal is boring.
So I grabbed him by his hair and spoke as scarily as I could, " You better start explaining me everything or else as you said I made that shield appear I think I can make something dangerous for you to appear as well. Do you wanna mess with me at this moment when even I don't know what I'll do to you."
He looked at me and gulped raising his hands in surrender. "I'll speak, I'll tell you everything I know but please don't kill me."
Now that was something, either he didn't notice it or it was intentional but when he said 'don't kill me' was he stating that I have that much power that I can kill a super?
I looked at him letting him know to continue speaking.
"Look even I don't know much and I am not even supposed to tell you all this so when you meet Skyler you gonna have to stick to this story that, You don't have any magical powers it was Skylar who made the shield appear using a magic stone or something and you can make things up. Alright?"
I just nodded for once loss at words, why is he not supposed to tell me, and then why is he telling me?
"Umm..okayyyy.... So where should I start? Shall I start from the beginning or just get to the point?"
"Will you just speak?"
"ok... ok... calm down, firstly let's get the introductions out. I am Kyle Williams."
He said removing his sunglasses and mask.
"I thought the identity of the supers is supposed to be a secret. Why are you showing me your face?"
"Huh, that wasn't the reaction I was hoping for. I at least expected a scream. Well, moving on. Yes, our identity is supposed to be a secret and I bet you already know the reason. As to why I told you it's because you are one of us. You also have superpowers or magic, we call it magic most of the time. Why you have it? That's a story for another day and no I won't tell you anything else related to that as remember I am already telling you things that you aren't supposed to know yet. Any questions so far?"
He smiled at me waiting for me to reply. If Ryder no Kyle isn't supposed to tell me then why is he telling me in the first place as he said he should have just stick to that story that he told me to tell Skyler when I meet her- Wait.
"You said that I have to tell Skyler the story you told me when I meet her. What does that mean? Why will I meet her again? And since you won't tell me how I have these powers how about this, you tell me this why I am not supposed to know all this and that crazy lady...what was her name...uhhh...my godmother...."
"Your godmother? Crazy lady? Do you perhaps mean Daphne?"
"Oof yes, the crazy lady I mean Daphne. Do you know her as well? She was saying she is my godmother and whatnot. I mean seriously who would have believed her? Not my fault if she sounded crazy. Did you know that When the word "crazy" first sprang about in English, it only had one definition, and no one would have considered it a compliment? The word's earliest meaning comes from the 1570s when it meant "diseased; sickly." A decade later, it was used to describe something "full of cracks or flaws" (a crazy house); then, by the 1610s, it had evolved to apply to a person "of unsound mind, or behaving as so." Crazy in a positive sense didn't arrive until the 1920s, when jazz culture re-appropriated the word to mean "cool, exciting" in a slang context."
I looked back and noticed that he was staring at me as if it's his first-time hearing someone talk. Did I again speak more than necessary?
"Do you always speak that much? And how in world do you know that?"
He said half shouting, "Jeez, It's fun to know crazy facts so I read them a lot. Wait What's the time. I am so dead mom will kill me if I am not home by 7 pm"
He nodded and asked for directions.
It took us like 5 mins to reach and that led me thinking that did he knew my address from the start?
Done for the day with the craziness I just sighed and got out of the car.
"Scarlet, we'll meet soon. I'll try to answer the rest of your questions then but keep this all a secret between us, cause if you want answers then you need me as no one else will think you'll ever be ready to know the answers to everything."
"Oh and before I forget, wear this at all cost, it will protect you"
He said and handed me a pendant. It was quite similar to that stone I saw in the museum but before I could ask him anything he said, "I know you have more questions but hold on to them we'll talk soon, I promise. Sleep tight Sleeping beauty"
With that being said, he drove off.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wanted to share this with Seb, but I knew that I can't tell her anything without being a crazy person, and knowing her she will probably admit me to a mental asylum.
I reached school and made a beeline to my locker to see Seb there with a quite mysterious bag.
"Heyo Lee, did you bring them? I already rigged his locker"
That brought me back to reality. I squinted my eyes to see what was different from the last time I saw his locker and if anyone looked very closely, they'll see a thin thread.
I nodded and said, "So what's in the bag?"
She smirked and started to drag me towards the basketball court.
"So, I know we said that we'll get the revenge and all that but when did it involve coming to school at 5 fucking am."
"Oof, this is the golden hour, everyone is found sleeping at this hour. Even the watchman is sleeping otherwise it would have been difficult to enter this hellhole. Now shut up and help me, the first thing he does is play basketball"
I just nodded and started helping her, I started laughing as soon as I saw the contents of her bag.
After one and half hours we were done, we smiled looking at our creation and started to pack everything to go to Seb's house to clean ourselves.
We soon reached Seb's house, giggling all the way. Thank god her mother had an early shift.
After taking turns in cleaning ourselves, we made our way back to the hellhole waiting for the fun to begin.
