Chapter #5The talk goes well. by: Runner   Mom quickly sits down. 'There no point denying everyone's secrets. John, you know I'm a witch, and so is Hayley" Hayley nods, and takes over "I've been learning to control my powers for the last year. In case you're wondering, yes Mel and Hannah are witches, but neither can access or even know about magic yet. Mel was supposed to find out about this on your birthday."
You nod, suspecting as much. Mom continues. "The magic world can be dangerous John. I'm not talking about witch burnings or dunkings or anything like that. I'm talking about power hungry witches. We know they are jealous of their powers, and to find out a guy has learnt what we call 'pseudo magic' or extremely advanced technology, they might come after you. Fortunately there is none that I know of, but there could be out there. Since you're so close to Mel, Hayley and your friends your knowledge puts them in danger, as well. While I can trust them knowing about us girls, I can not allow them to know about your powers.
You look at Hayley, and see she is tearing up. Gulping you turn to Mom. "Why did Jack give me this if it is dangerous?" you demand, suddenly angry. Hayley speaks up. "he probably thought he was doing you a favor. You know we like to prank each other, and he thought if we have magic, you wouldn't be able to defend yourself. Worse, while we both know that Mel cares deeply about you, she sometimes wishes she had a girl twin instead. If you didn't can your tech...."
"John could you give me your book? I need to store it in a secure place" Hayley says. You hesitate, and both girls wonder what you're going to do. Sighing, you eventually hand the book over, and to your surprise she don't grin. Instead she sighs, and the book just vanishes. "Thanks John. You can't continue reading that thing, else you won't be able to hide your secret.
"John, I need to make you disappear for a while, or at least your knowlegde. It will be for about a year, then things will be safe for you to live a normal life, without your tech. I can give you a new identity, or I can just supress your memories, but since your knowledge is supressed, it is not gone. You will still know things, but sub consciously.  | Members who added to this interactive story also contributed to these: |
