Chapter #9In the air with mom. by: Runner   "What do you mean young lady!? Been changing your brother into a girl and teaching him magic!?"
You look at her surprised, and before you can stop yourself, you ask "I have magic if I'm a girl?" Hayley winces, prefering to have mom think shes been teaching you magic instead of knowing the truth. Mom looks at you, and sees that you're geninely surprised. "Oh, Jack, you didn't..." She gathers herself and says to Hayley, "Anything techalogical?"
Reluctantly she nods, and mom starts explaining how her brother, after one too many quarrels with both her, Catherine and his mother, stole Catherines book, and eventually created his chaotic science, to 'give himself a fighting chance', but mom admits she thought the science died with Jack due to its unstable nature. "He probalby told you it could save us?" mom says, and you nod. Mom grins wider, "He mean 'saving' by preventing the rift that happened between him, Cath and I, having to you and us, not any external threat. Could you show me the lab.
Slowly you nod, since Mom hasn't done anything to make you feel threatened, and you was going to reveal your sectret within a week anyway. Within minutes mom is standing in awe of your lab, and like Hayley confused by the hologram Jack, which told her, "science is like magic, it can't bring back the dead..." Sad, mom asks Jack the purpose of the science. The hologram answers what the thing she thought. Carefully mom asks if any external threat to John existed. The hologram answers "3% chance that rouge witch Eva will attack. Odds shortening. Most probable outcome is biggest threat is mishap by Hayley or Melanie causing permanent unwanted change, most probably gender related. Odds without science 76%. With science, 18%..." Hayley again winces, since she had something planned, but she doesn't want to go that far, but doesn't say anything.
You nod, pleased, slightly annoyed you never asked these questions yourself. Mom looks over at your 'broomstick'. I see you learn how to fly. "Never really got into that sort of thing, too stereotypical of witches, but i still can if I want too. The sky is clouded tonight. Want to go up with me and Hayley?"
Eagerly, you grab the broomstick, and you, mom and Hayley are up in the air. mom sighs, looking at the moonlit sky. "I remember first coming up, actually took Katie with me..."
"Dr Thompson knows?" you and Hayley say surprised. Mom grins. "Shes my best friend. She knows, but Megan doesn't. You can tell them yourselves, if you want. Harry too."
Both you and HAyley, nod, pleased that you don't have to keep this secret any longer   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
