Chapter 3.3

“Okay” Morticia said laughing nervously, “okay. I completely and fully understand what you just said.”

“Are you trying to fool us?” Jeena said.

“Oh come now.” Amaya said, “Why would I be fooling you?”

“So what are we supposed to do now?” Jeena asked.

But before Amaya could speak Morticia stopped her. “What if we don’t want to be thisians? Can’t I just skip this whole ‘test’ drama and get on with my life? I don’t think I am ready to go around balancing the energy in the universe.”

Amaya smiled. “I think I did not make myself clear” she said, “but you are gifted with super natural powers. Usually girls agree to be Thisians because of them.”

Okay…so now I’m going to be Super Girl. Does this count as bribing?

No, this can’t be bribing! Come on! Oh my God, Morticia it’s the supernatural powers! That is why we can talk to each other with our thoughts! That is so cool!

“What else can we do?” Jeena asked excitedly.

“Just about anything that you can come up with…” Amaya said. She looked very amused.

“You mean anything?” Jeena asked.

“Well, almost anything…” Amaya said.

“Oh my God Jeena” Morticia suddenly said, “are you-”. She was about to say “Are you playing a prank on me?” but was interrupted by Jeena.

“How,” Jeena said “POSSIBLY do you think I would play such a trick on you? You think I’m some genius working up this entire time-has-stopped-and-there’s-a-crazy-woman-here thing?”

“Excuse me,” Amaya said, “Did I hear you wrong or did you just call me a crazy woman?”

“I didn’t mean to!” Jeena said, realizing what she had done.

“For your information, young lady,” Amaya said sternly, “I am your guardian and I have the right to punish you.”

Jeena started apologizing furiously until she realized that Amaya had been joking. When she was done laughing, she said “So why don’t you try to use your abilities before you start with your hunt for The Test?”

Morticia was confused. How were you supposed to use these abilities? Jeena spotted her pencil box. She then closed her eyes and the pencil box flew into Jeena’s outstretched palm. It was like sitting in a theater and watching a Harry Potter movie. Jeena shriek with joy.

Morticia paled. She had stopped breathing when the pencil box flew past her.

“How did you do that?” she asked as her mouth went dry.

Jeena shrugged and suddenly started to float upward. Morticia screamed. She had never been so scared in her life. Jeena came back to the ground and tried to calm Morticia down. Even Amaya rushed to calm her down. She was shivering. When Jeena looked closer, she saw that Morticia was crying. She had never seen Morticia cry before.

“Hey it’s okay…” Jeena said and placed her arm around Morticia’s slumped shoulders. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know that I’d make you cry. It’s alright now. I’m back on the ground…”

Morticia had stopped crying. But Jeena could still hear someone sob. She looked up to find Amaya sobbing. “Oh…sniff…oh, this is…sniff…so sweet” Amaya was saying. “Sniff, sniff. Such…sniff…true friendship…”

Morticia looked up too and a moment later the two started laughing hysterically.
