• "Hello?" A women with short brown hair and brown eyes opened the door
    "Hi, is Ava home?" I asked in return
    "Oh, you're Ava's friend, welcome" She put on a smile and sugared up her voice making it seem as if it could give you a hardcore tooth ache got even sweeter.
    "Thank you" I said acting like I didn't know that she seemed faker than a barbie doll.
    "This way" She led me inside, the house was big, furnished nicely, there was a piano I noticed in one of the rooms, a ginormous tv in the next. When we made it up stairs, which also appeared rather extravagent she stopped at the third door. She rapped at the door loudly, since music blarred. But her sugary voice seemed to get a bit bitter I couldn't be sure. My guess is that this was Ava's room. "Ava a friend is here for you"
    "One second" Ava's voice replied in the next instant the music was muted and the door swung open.
    "You really should keep that turned down some" The women that I think is her mom said, her voice getting even less sweet.
    "I should" Ava said looking at her with aggrement then she looked at me "Hi Rick, I see you've met mom"
    "Call me Symone" Her voice was all pepped up again "See you two later" She left, Ava sighed in relief.
    "Come on in"She said
    "Is she always like that?"
    "No" She half-laughed "Did you catch the note of emptiness when she talked to me? Times that by like five and you have my mom's normal attitude towards me" I didn't know what to say, I'd expected something like it, but it's all different when it's true. I took a look around the room, looking for a change of subject, only, it looked bare.
    "Where is everything?" I asked and she lifted the edge of the blanket that was on her bed, under it was boxes "Did they call yet?"
    "No" She sighed "It's only a matter of time though. Right?"
    "Absolutly" I assured "Nothing to worry about"
    "How can they get my mom and dad to let me?"
    "This is your lead?" Emma?
    "Emma what are you doing here? How are you here?"
    "I cheated" She held up a bottle of fairy dust. It was different from mine, it had a purple tinge to it, and more of a sparkle. Every bottle was different.
    "Emma?" Ava asked curiously "That's a pretty name"
    "Hi" She smiled weakly "I'm a little confused"
    "I told you I wasn't on a lead"
    "I thought you were lying"
    "I wasn't. This is Ava" Ava beamed at Emma and vise versa. She must of been really excited to meet more of us. Or something. "She's like us. But she was born into a regular family. That's why I was out so late yesterday, I brought her to campus"
    "To talk to the council?" Emma asked "What did they say?"
    "They've never seen anything like it, but they'd like her to go to Lord Marshalls anyway."
    "She's gonna go to school with us?" Emma grinned like she just won something.
    "They're suppost to get me in today" Ava said a little worried from the sound of it, but her eyes were glued on Emma.
    "If they said they were going to, they will" Emma's smile was still going full force, and she held up the small bottle "Do you wanna see this?"
    "Can I?" Ava asked fully aware of the bottle she was being handed. After a minute of examining it, she continued talking, though still focused "Why is it different from Rick's?"
    "I don't know the technical reason, but every vile is different and unique" Emma answered looking at Ava with the same mystified look she was giving the bottle. "You like it?"
    "Yes, it's so amazing." She looked like she was in some sort of trance.
    "Wanna try to use it?"Emma asked excited, again.
    "Absolutly. Where to?" A huge smile devoured her face, and her eyes sparkled more intensly then the bottle in hand.
    "Lord Marshall's Academy, New York" She instructed, then held out a hand to each of us.
    "Lord Marshall's Academy, New York" Ava practiclly sang while pouring the glittery dust out of the bottle, but nothing happend. Her voice turned confused "It didn't work..."
    "No, it didn't" Emma said even more confused "You try it Rick"
    "Okay" I grabbed the bottle and poured it out with my free hand "Lord Marshall's Academy, New York" It worked that time, in a matter of minutes, we were at the school.
    "Why didn't it work when I did it?" Ava demanded pretty upset like.
    "Don't worry, me and Rick are gonna go talk to the council now. I'll bring you to Ren's dorm first though, if that's okay wih you"
    "Bring her home and meet me there okay?"
    "What?"Ava asked like I was an idiot.
    "If someone tries to get a hold of your parents about you, and you're not there, it won't be good." She looked at me like she hated I had a point, but she knew it was there.
    "Bye Rick" She sighed heavily "Come on Emma" As soon as they left, I made my way to the team's meeting room, ignoring about ten people trying to say hi, except for one.
    "Not now" I said in all seriousity
    "Now Ricky" Derek said in a really annoying voice
    "Not now. And don't ever call me that again"
    "Seriously what's your deal?" He asked now just as serious as me
    "I have to talk to the team"
    "I see but can that really bum you out this much?"
    "No. It's the reason I have to talk to them, and I'm not bummed out, just confused" I said picking up the pace trying to lose Derek, but he kept up just as easily as before.
    "Well?" He started again "What's the reason?"
    "Not your business" I answered going faster, he was still right beside me though.
    "Let's make it my business then" He retorted
    "No" I said breaking into a slight run
    "Why not?" He asked almost annoyed, running to catch up.
    "Because it's not about me, it's not mine to tell you" I started to run faster, but he was right there.
    "Then why do they have to know?"
    "Because it's their business" I ran as fast as I could and skided around the corner to the room. I fell in through the door kicking it shut and I hit the floor"
    "Oww!" I heard Derek yell from the other side of the door. I think he fell into it.
    "Mr.Cade?" Lenny said with a sigh "What can we help ypu with this time?"
    "Why can't she use fairy dust?" I asked breathing kinda heavy.
