supervision even though she was not so sure he’d remain there
when she returned. She imagined herself changing into a beast like
she read in one of those books. Everyone will run away before I am
finally captured and taken back to the laboratory for tests.
    Her attention was brought back to the present
when she heard the wheels of a car screeching on the tarred road.
She looked towards the sound of the noise and realized what had
caused the mess.
    Opposite Evalle, a building opposite her of
about twenty storeys was almost completely engulfed by fire. Evalle
could hear people screaming inside the building even though she as
far away. She just kept watching without knowing what way to
help.
    She then sensed something different and most
definitely, heard it. Louder than the other things she heard. This
voice was not calling for help, it just sounded desperate.
    Rather than listening to the voice of the
person calling to her, Evalle decided to help the people in the
building. With a great speed, she ran past all the people gathered
around who stared at the empty air in terror.
    She got into the building and found a woman
and her child screaming for help. She made herself invisible as she
picked them up and took them to safety. Evalle went round the whole
building until it was free from humans.
    Nobody believed magic ever existed. It was
thought to be a myth, and Evalle was glad no one would know how it
really happened. Even the people she rescued felt like they were
floating. She smiled mischievously.
    Evalle wanted to head back to her bicycle
when she remembered. Someone was calling me a while ago.

    Emily got into the room where her father was.
She saw blood stains on the floor and became very scared. She
looked around the room but couldn’t find him. She ran out of the
room and continued walking straight when she saw something that
looked familiar.
    She stepped into a room and saw a pit filled
with fire. A familiar voice spoke to her. “I told you, something is
really wrong with this place and you are just few steps to finding
out.”
    “Who are you anyway? And why won’t you show
yourself to me?” Emily asked, still feeling the urge to look for
her father.
    “As I said before, I am the master of this
clan. I can’t show myself to you because I can’t do it to anyone.
He replied.
    “Please, do you have any idea of where my
father is? I can’t find him anywhere.”
    “I don’t know where he is but I know that he
is no longer in this place.”
    Emily opened her eyes in terror as she began
to walk out of the room. Wait! The creature yelled at Emily who
turned back to look at him. “I think I have something to tell you.
It is about why I am locked in here.”
    Emily stopped walking and turned to listen to
him.
    “It all started a very long time ago. We all
belonged to different clans and I was born in the Kurikana. We were
not that popular and the clan didn’t withhold much powers.”
    Emily decided to sit since it was going to
take a long time for him to finish.
    “When I was born, my father was the strongest
in the entire world and they were hunted by many. With this, our
clan rocketed to the top. My parents were so nice, everyone loved
them except those from the other clans. You should know the outcome
when a powerful man sleeps with a woman of equal powers. It was
during my birth that my mum died.”
    “I’m sorry about that.” Emily whispered.
    “Thanks, may I proceed?” he asked
    “Yes, please.”
    “My father told me that my powers killed my
mum. It’s so painful that I never got to meet my mum and I still
feel guilty about it. I don’t know how, but the other clans learnt
of my powers and they began plotting against me and my father. My
father started to train me when I was just four years old. I guess
he knew something bad was going to happen.”
    There was a long pause. Then, he
continued.
    “One sunny afternoon, I was training on a
field when I heard my father scream. I ran
