The pendragon family was only second in terms of business. First was their friend, the Nightingale family. In business world everyone knows of the relationship between them. There were even rumors that both family agreed to engage the youngest together. But they are still rumors.
Elena Pendragon, is a bright and cheerful girl. Coupled with Alisha Nightingale whose curiousity knows no end. Both of them were quite the pair. One who indulges in whatever she finds fun. The other who invests in her thrist for knowledge. Both were genuises. Everyone thought that both family would maintain their happy lives. Who knew one event turned everything upside down.
The accident of Plane 305. The plane where the Nightingale family was. Out of 32 passengers. 5 survived. One of them was the daughter of the head of the family. Alisha Nightingale, was left alone in the world. No one knew why the crash happened. Was it the plan of their enemy? If so, why involve a child. Some gave pity. The enemies were happy. But the one involved, did not care. For the girl has lost her star. Her family.
The Pendragon Family, who heard the news was shocked. They immediately helped the young girl. However the said girl was already broken. Her eyes held no curiousity in them. They were dead, no shine of hope. Her face was emotionless. She looked like a doll. Elena seeing her friend's state, cried. They took her in until she reached the age of 15. Elena did her best to bring back the old Alisha. She did everything but no result came. Elena was distraught. Even her parents noticed. Ever since then she promised to herself that she would bring back the Alisha she once knew. She will be the friend Alisha needs.
Elena smiled sadly at the memory. Somehow she manage to at least let Alisha talk to her. She looked at the said person. Alisha was looking in front. Her eyes bored. Sigh, of course she's bored. Why would she go to school when she already learned everything? It was a question Elena found herself asking sometimes.
She sighed again and focused on the front. Unbeknownst to her, Alisha caught every movement she made in the corner of her eyes. Her friend. The one, who despite the cold treatment she gave, still stayed. She has also noticed a few things changing about her. At first she was confused. And scared. So Alisha decided to tell the one she trusts the most. Her childhoodfriend, Elena. And maybe ask about her opinion.
After school. Elena chose to stay at Alisha's house. But Alisha could not help but ask;
" Permission?"
Elena only smiled wide and that told Alisha what she needed to know. For some reason both of them somehow understand each other. More better than a twin siblings. There was this one time, when they had an argument. Elena was being stubborn and decided to not talk to her until she gets what she wants. The problem was that, Elena wouldn't talk so how is Alisha going to get what she wants? An hour passed with Alisha observing her friend. When she finally figured it out. She does this body language, Alisha found out, when she wants something cold to eat. So that only leaves to frozen food. Alisha chose the cookies n' cream ice cream. A whole package of it. After that Alisha has been able to figure her out more. Just like now, when Elena smiles and made no move to talk, means that she succeeded in whatever she's doing.
Elena watched Alisha as she walk to the living room. She soon followed behind. It has been a while since she stayed over. Alisha's place always has everything she needs. Plopping down on the couch. Sighing as she ran her fingers into her hair. Having a scalp massage would be great right about now. Again, she watched Alisha move into the couch and made herself comfortable. Then turned towards her with a serious look. This of course caught Elena off guard.
Nervously she asked. " What's wrong? "
Alisha stared at her. It was those eyes again. Then she sighed.
" I have.....something to tell you "
Alisha paused a little making Elena even more nervous than before.
" Wha- what is it? "
With a serious look " Do you believe in supernatural? " and spoke with a serious tone.
Elena would do the spit-take move right then if she was drinking. It surprised her that Alisha would ask something like that, in a very serious tone too. She gave her friend a look of questioning. Alisha who still had the same look when she asked the question was looking back at her. Seeing this, she sighed. It seems her friend is really serious.
" It depends "
Alisha shot her a questioning look and an eyebrow raised. Elena could tell she was getting impatient. Chuckling she quickly added. " If I see it with my own eyes and if there is no scientific explanation to it, then I will believe it "
Alisha hummed. That's two if's. Still, she will make a gamble. She closed her eyes and opened her palm. Elena blinked. Was Alisha really trying to show it to her? She again blink- in shocked. Mouth agape, eyes wide. In front of her was a small ball of fire. It's size fit perfectly at Alisha's palm. Elena looked between the fire and her friend Alisha. How did fire appeared out of nowhere? How is her hand not burning? It won't go out of control right? Questions filled her mind. When finally something clicked in. Elena looked at Alisha in disbelief. Alisha seeing her expression, slowly nodded.
" Ha~ah, so that's why you asked me that question "
Elena plopped down in the counch. Then after a few minutes, abruptly sat up. " Does anyone else know about this? " and asked while holding Alisha's shoulders. Looking straight at Alisha's eyes.
Alisha shook her head. Elena sighed in relief when she also saw no deception on her eyes. It will be bad if things got out. Imagine people finding out. Scientists experimenting on her. Opening her body. Elena was horrified at the thought and shuddered. They will have to keep this a secret.
She took a deep breathe and asked again; " Are there others? "
