The Super 4 : Dark Death Read Online Free PDF Page A

same complexion as Darryl,
but has black hair just over shoulder-length height, with eyes so
dark you can barely tell whether her eyes were black or
brown.
    Mum likes swimming and running so she’s pretty
fit. She’s also addicted to this sport called squash. I’ve played
it a couple of times and loved every minute of it. Mum is from two
small cities in Ghana, so you can bet it was a big surprise for
them to discover that she’s the wife of a president!
    When my simply ‘hilarious’ family calmed down,
Mum announced that she was making breakfast. This was great news
because Mum was even better at cooking than our private chef from
France. We all stomped to the kitchen, even Tessa came along,
though she was still finishing her pancakes, where Mum started
frying bacon, scrambling eggs and toasting bread. In other words
she did her magic. By the time breakfast was ready I was
practically drooling. I was starving even after five pancakes and a
handful of strawberries. I gobbled down six pieces of toast, three
helpings of scrambled egg, eight pieces of crispy, fried bacon and
several cups of hot chocolate.
    All in all, my breakfast that day was pretty
good.
    I leaped up the stairs, taking them three at a
time, and crawled up the attic ladder to get to my room. I silently
wondered why my family had been moving so slowly after only two
helpings. I also started wondering whether my powers meant I could
burn calories.
    Literally.
    I wasn’t dumb enough to give it a go. However
I did think that after that breakfast I would need some serious
exercise.
    So I hopped in the shower, put on some clothes
and called Jake, Carly and Darryl. I had skillfully avoided calling
them ‘the gang’ out of fear of being called Freddie from my second
favorite cartoon ‘Scooby-doo’.
    They picked up on the sixth ring. “What’s up?”
Carly asked.
    “ Nothing much, but do you guys
want to go to the tree house to train again?” I asked.
    “ YES!” I heard Jake
scream.
    “ Sure, I’ll come.” was Darryl’s
feebler reply.
    “ I guess.” replied
Carly.
    “ Okay meet you there.” I
said.
    “ Already there!” said Jake, as he
disconnected the call.
    “ I’m on my way.” said Carly, as
she too ended the call.
    “ Well see you there
Darryl.”
    “ Okay.” He hung up.
    I pulled on my trainers and headed downstairs
to tell Mum I was leaving.
    “ See you later, mum!” I yelled as
I walked out of the house.
    “ See you, have fun.” Mum replied,
“ and be back by lunchtime. I have a surprise for you!”
    “ Okay.”
    I headed out and set off towards the woods.
While I was walking I saw a trail of t water, which was a sure sign
that Carly had been there. I also saw a couple of screws and bolts,
which informed me of Darryl’s presence.
    As I neared the tree house, I decided it would
be hilarious to sneak up on them and scare them. Plus it would mean
I wouldn’t be the only one embarrassed. I melted when I caught a
glimpse of Jake talking to Carly. I decided to sneak up Jake’s back
and turn part of my face to solid form. That way Carly would
hopefully think that Jake had sprouted another head. Chuckling
softly I crawled up Jake’s back and completed my
mission.
    Carly totally freaked when she realized that
Jake had two heads and jumped backwards into the lake.
Unfortunately for her she didn’t have time to activate her power,
so when she finally dragged herself out of the lake she was
dripping from head to toe. Everyone but Jake laughed, even Carly
laughed a bit before using her powers to get rid of all the water
on her. She was completely dry in a matter of seconds. However Jake
looked as if he wanted to kill me.
    “ Harrison, please come.” He said
in a flat tone.
    I followed him slowly as he led me out of
earshot of the other two. “Hey what’s up?”
    “ What was that all about?” He
asked
    “ Oh, it was just a
joke.”
    “ A joke? A joke? You literally just
ruined my life!”
    As he spoke I suddenly realized that
