All my life, I had always witnessed impossibilities.  I mean I am impossible in many ways. From a young age, I had the tingles which was impossible,  I also had an extremely fast reflex which was impossible for humans, in fact I always knew I was completely different. 

And with everything happening now, you will think nothing could surprise me anymore. Well, I thought so too, but here I am standing in front of hell with the three psycho girls, Dean and a supposed young lady, all with our jaws to the floor.  Hell isn't as bad as we thought,  it's a whole lot worse.

           13 days ago

"I am so going to kill him!" I screamed to no one in particular as we trekked the dark forest.

"What is it again JJ? This is the hundredth time you have threatened the guardian. " Jody stated.

"Tried to you mean," Jobber backed up. You can't threaten someone who isn't even available to witness the threat."

"Oh, let me just get my hands on him!" I replied harshly.

"Oh, I bet you could do many things to his body with those hands," Ro interrupted with a suspicious wiggle of his eyebrows.

" Damn right I could and I will, let me just get him close enough to me."

At my outburst, they all bursted into an exaggerated laughter,  Wulf gave me a disapproving nod while Meg shook her head, walking away. 

What did they even find funny in that statement.
Aurg... I was so frustrated and angry at that damn guardian. He always found a way to aggravate me.

I still couldn't believe I heard his voice in my head. The worst was when I had freaked out and told the remaining captains about it, they all laughed and said I was day dreaming about Dean.

It infuriated me so much so that even after seven hours in the forest, I still felt biter and never missed the opportunity to curse him. Only that he had disappeared as soon as his voice sounded in my head.

Apparently he and Tharza had gone ahead of us to scout the area and he never heard or witnessed the curses raining down on him.

Why did he have to make me look like a fool, I wasn't about to question my sanity at all, I was passed that. With the reactions of the captains when I had brought it up, it seemed impossible,  but I was damn sure he had either spoken in my head, or I had listened to his thoughts but either way, I heard his voice.

"JJ, you are doing it again!" Jobber screamed excitedly.

Only then did I notice the mist expanding around my body.

"Holy cow!" I shouted. The mist which was thick before, began to lighten and become a translucent color.  I could see the surprise and awe on their faces, and that made me happy and more excited, but all of a sudden the awe on their faces went away and was replaced with confusion and fright.

"JJ?" Meg called to me.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"JJ! JJ! " They all began to scream looking around as if to find me.

"What the hell guys, I'm here, I'm right here."

"What in the name of the deity is happening!" Wulf bellowed. "JJ! Where are you?"

That's when it hit me, they couldn't see me, they couldn't freaking see me.

"I'm here," I screamed. Took a step to Jody and gave her a slap on her arm only that my fingers met with an obstacle.  It was as if a wall had separated us and no matter how much I punched it, I couldn't get close enough to touch her or anyone else.

My head began to spin.

Alright, calm down JJ, nothing to panic about, all you need to do is swallow back the mist, I'm sure that will work, you just need to take back the mist.

I kept whispering that to myself even after trying so many times and to no avail. 

I watched as the captains all became terrified and began to scream my name while searching different parts of the forest.

I watched as Dean and Tharza came back to the group to hear of the misfortune that had come to me. I watched as they regrouped themselves and split up to go search different parts of the forest and even with the loudest  screams I did, no one could hear me.

I told myself not to cry, I wasn't a baby, I tried to console myself,  it was just a minor problem that would soon pass. But, no matter how much I tried not to, I had reached my breaking point.

What if I would never return? What if no one ever saw or heard me again? What if I was dead and my spirit floated around?  What if and what if's clouded my mind, and just when I was about to break down a voice stopped me.

"Redder, you have outdone it this time around, I can't believe you made us invisible!  Just what the hell do I need to do in order for you to stop getting us into trouble?"

"Cicero! You can hear me?"

"I wish I couldn't right now."

"Oh my God! I'm so relieved,  I thought I would forever be alone,  even if you are as rude and bitter as Dean, at least you are here."

"Redder, I told you, you are never alone. Even if I'm not here, you will never be alone. I don't know if you don't see it, but I do, our new friends would definitely find a way to make sure you are never alone,  and I mean it, just look how troubled they all are, going through lengths to find you. 

It's just been an hour and look, that's the headmasters projected image also taking part in the search."

"Oh Cicero, you are right. I'm not alone anymore. " Tears gathered in my eye. I was reassured. It was going to be okay, I didn't know how, but I surely believed that it was.

"Yeah, and just so you know, I'm nothing like that big headed psycho."

"Yep, I agree. You are too mushy to be like him, he not just a big headed psycho, he is a big headed idiotic psycho."

And that was the first time since the incident that I laughed, Cicero joined me in raining much more heavy curses on Dean and we laughed and laughed. 

It was exactly two hours later that I became so exhausted that I couldn't walk anymore. I had been following Meg for the whole two hours witnessing her search for me.

The mist power drained me more than I expected.  One second I was walking behind Meg and the next second I was flat on the floor full of exhaustion,  I couldn't even lift my eyelids. I could only hear the frantic yelling from Meg and feel how she picked me up calling for the others. I soon realized that she and the others could finally see me before everything went blank.

---------

No one knew what had happened to me,  three days had passed before I awoke, even though I still felt weak, I at least could eat and seat on my own accord.

It wasn't long before the questions I had been anticipating eventually came.

It was late evening, and the moon shone brightly as we sat round a small fire when Jobber popped the question.

"I don't think I can hold it any longer JJ, you have to tell us what happened to you."

I laughed out at that, I had waited  to see how much longer they could hold back and who would give up.

"So, where did you go? What happened to you? Why did you return so suddenly drained of all energy and what happened?"

"Calm down will you," I laughed.

I noticed all their attention drawn towards our conversation and immediately the headmaster appeared in our midst.

Wow, that was quick.

"Okay, how do I start. Let's say that I didn't go anywhere."

They all stared blankly at me.

"Alright,  I really didn't go anywhere,  it's just that y'all couldn't see or hear me. I was in your midst and could hear all what you were discussing, but I couldn't touch any of you, and you couldn't do same."

"What?"

"Blood!"

"Huh!"

"Your Kidding!"

All their exclamation was expected,  and it only made me laugh more.

I gave them more details on it all excluding my chat with Cicero.

The headmaster believed it was my power which I couldn't control yet which had malfunctioned and that as  a result of the long range in which I had used it, it left me weak.

I had apparently stayed invisible for 3 hours and according to the head master that was my present limit. Three hours invisibility and 3 days bed rest.

"So that's my power? Invisibility? That's lame."

"I wouldn't call it that, in fact I will advise you never to use that power again until you have mastered it well."

"Yeah I guess it could be dangerous for me, I don't want to remain invisible forever." I replied.

"No, that isn't what I mean, and you can't remain invisible for even up to a day.

Yes, it is dangerous to you, but in a totally  different way. And what I'm talking about is the danger not to only you, but to every other person around you."

"Okay, I'm confused." Ro exclaimed.

"And so am I," I replied.

"What you think is a power of becoming invisible is actually a lot more than you think. A lot more powerful and dangerous.

You do not know this but every being alive has a colorful aura, either red, yellow, black, white etc but instead of that, you have a colourless aura.

"Huh?"

"What?, how is that possible?  Dean asked."

"Everyone has a color floating around them?" I asked instead.

"Yes." Meg replied, only I  and the headmaster can see it.

"Wow, so why is mine colourless? Could it be because I'm human?"

"No all humans have a brown aura."

"Damn... am I this special?

"More like weirdo," I heard Dean mutter.

"I heard that, psycho."

"I still don't understand how that affects my powers."

"I can't say more than that for now, I have a speculation though,  but until it is proven, it's best to remain just that, a speculation."

Uhh, typical Mr headmaster.

"But as for now, its best if you reign in your aura, its too loud and prominent that it could be suffocating."

"That's possible?"

"Not for us," Enga answered.

"But for you it is."

"Do I need to know why exactly?"

"Well if it isn't already obvious,  your mist power either swallows your aura or vomits too much of it. That's why you could turn invisible,  when your aura is completely swallowed by the mist, you become invisible,  but too much released aura becomes threatening." The Headmaster replied.

"Oh, I didn't realize. So how do I tone it down?"

On hearing my question,  they all turned to Meg.

"She can guide you, seeing that apart from the headmaster, she is the only one that can see auras." Dean answered.

On that note, Dean proceeded to ask the headmaster on the happenings in Valhalla. I had totally forgotten about the countless attacks on Valhalla.

The headmaster released a long sigh and shook his head.

"It's getting worse, every day seems to have its own demon. It seems they are all working together now. Many Valkyrie warriors are positioned at all the legal and illegal portal gates we could find, but it still can't stop the demons from trouping in, it's getting harder to hold them off. You will need to hasten your mission.

And Yes, in addition to that mission,  there is one other thing that is required of the guardian to do."

On saying that,  Dean stood up and sat in front of Meg then placed his hands on her forehead and just like that the Headmaster disappeared.

"Well, is it wrong of me to remind you all that I was literally forced some weeks back to accept that I am also a guardian?  Because I don't really know,  I'm kinda getting jealous here."
"There are some things that only Dean is capable of. Do not feel offended,  if I was you, I will appreciate this little freedom you have now because it won't last." Wulf replied.

"Yes, that's true. The burden of being a guardian is much more heavy than you think.  I still wonder how Dean is sane." Ro added.

I looked towards Dean, he was seating smugly in front of Meg with hands outstretched, I couldn't help but notice that even though he had that stupid prideful look, his shoulders dropped lower the longer he sat receiving whatever message from the headmaster, I also noticed the slight, frequent twitch of his pinky finger.

I only noticed the finger movement because I had seen him do that before, only now did I realize it meant more.

I wasn't done with my thoughts when he opened his eyes and stared directly into mine.

"You better not scream this time around banshee."

"Ahh!! What the hell!" I screamed falling on my butt, ignoring the warning.

I looked at Dean only to see him face palm.

"I guess I was left with no option," he said before getting up and walking towards me.

Before I could utter a word, I was lifted from the floor and dragged to a secluded part of the woods where I was dumped to the ground.

"What part of 'do not scream' don't you understand?!"
