    - Ready...

    “Ok so let me get this strait.” Liam started. “You think you can control people just by telling them what to do?”
    “I don’t think I know! Why don’t you believe me?”
    “Because you’re eleven!!”
Sage rolled his eyes and threw his hands up above his head.
    “You don’t think you had powers when you were eleven?” He questioned.
    “…I don’t remember that far back.”
Sage laughed.
    “Of course you don’t.”
Liam ignored him and turned to the girl in the window.
    “You didn’t tell me what you can do Finn.” He pointed out.
The girl with the long curls didn’t turn, and her posture didn’t change.
    “In exactly five seconds Sage will do something that will annoy you. You will then pounce him and break my lamp because you’re both clumsy fools that think it’s ok to mess around with everything you touch…Including people.”
She scarily whispered the last words before she stepped outside the window and onto the back patio. Running to the edge of the roof she whipped out her wand and with a flick of her wrist she glided gently to the ground.
Trying not to let the sobs over take her again, she walked down the road to the park again.

Liam sighed as he watched her retreating silhouette disappear beyond the buildings.
   "Why does she always do that?" He said in slight annoyance.
Sage rolled his eyes.
   "Do what? Go off and cry? She's a girl. She cries when she gets hurt."
He said in a 'duh you should know this' way. He slumped down on her bed. Making himself comfortable on her bed.
   "Not like I can blame her." He muttered.
   "I didn't want to hurt her you know." Liam piped up.
   "Oh yeah that's real obvious." He muttered. "Every girl loves it when their prince in shinning armor or what ever, to pretended he doesn't know her. It just makes her day."
Liam felt like pouncing on him.
   "Well what was I suppose to do? When I went back to her house she was gone!"
   "So you should have found her! You should have looked for her! Was it that difficult? Would it have been that hard? After all your feelings for her and you can't even confess them? That's just brilliant."
This time, Liam did pounce on him. He jumped on top of him and hit him by the back of his hand. Sage struggled to get out of his pinned down situation, he kicked his feet and it accidentally hit the lamp on the bedside table.
Liam jumped when it crashed onto the floor. He moved off Sage and looked down at the butterfly lamp.
   "...How long do you think it was sense she left?" He asked. Both of them starring at the lamp.
   "Fifteen seconds? give or take." Sage muttered.
Liam nodded and ran his hand under his nose.
   "Yeah...I thought so!" He jumped up and ran out the window after Almera.
He didn't hesitate to jump off the roof. Jumping in between the apartment building and the one next to it. That way he slowed down his approach to the ground.
Once he hit it. He suddenly realized that Sage had followed him. Performing the exact movements that he had just done.
   "Not bad." He commented when the small boy landed next to him.
He shrugged. "I'm a quick learner. Now tell me, what are we doing?"
   "We're going to find Finnley, Almera. Who ever! And we're going to stick by her." He looked down at the small boy with a grin. "And we're never going to leave her again."
Sage grew a grin.
   "That's better. Well come on then."
Sage took off running down the streets. With Liam not so far behind him.

Almera wasn't sure what to think, or who to trust. All she knew was that winter was getting closer and soon she'd have to pull out her jeans again.
She wasn't even sure if she wanted to talk to the boys when they showed up again.
Half of her wanted them there. But most of her wanted to hit them. Both.
   "What are you two doing here...again?" She grumbled. Rubbing her arms and walking through the grass in her bare feet.
   "He has something to say." Sage stated, shoving Liam forward, who was sent sprawling. Almost knocking Almera down.
   "I'll...be uh over there." Sage walked off and went to examine the hibiscus flowers a little ways off.
Almera sighed and sat down on a flat rock.
   "Yes?" She asked, waiting patiently. Like she had for so long. And like she would for years to come.
   "Can we start over?" He asked. "Start from the very beginning. Just be friends. I know...you can't handle anymore then that. But can we at least start there?"
She took a deep breath. And slowly nodded.
   "I-I suppose so...but it's going to take you a lot of work and effort to gain my trust again Jay. So don't expect to get it back with a snap of your fingers."
Liam nodded.
   "I know...But I'll be waiting." He started to back away again.
   "Waiting for what?" She asked.
   "Waiting for you to know who to run to."
Confusion was written all over her face. He just chuckled and walked off. She shook her head and jumped up. Suddenly energized. Now that some of the conflict in herself was over she wanted to get on with stuff.
She marched with determined strides. She was soon up to pace with Liam. He looked over at her with shock clear on his face. She gave a sly smile.
"Better get started." She stated, she glanced over her shoulder and gave a head gesture to Sage. Then with out warning she took of running faster then Liam had ever seen her run. It sent a shiver up his back as he watched her weave in and out of the zooming cars. She rolled over things she couldn't dodge and was soon standing on the other side of the busy street.
Sage shook his head.
   "Well you must have said something to make her happy." He muttered.
   "How's that?"
Sage chuckled.
   "She's showing off. That doesn't happen often."
Liam's eyes grew wide and he glanced back at Almera, but she was gone.
   "You serious?!"
The younger kid rolled his eyes.
   "You are so dense!" He murmured as he walked across the street.
Liam rolled his eyes in response and followed the squirt.

When they knocked on Almera's door she shouted for them to come in, and they found that she had changed into a burgundy long-sleeve, and jeans.
   "How many times does a girl need to change?" Liam muttered to himself.
   "How ever many times she feels she needs to." Almera asked with out even glancing at him. She was looking at something on her twenty-seven inch iMac.
   "Ok. I'll remember that." He answered. "What are you doing? besides listening to techno." He asked, walking into her room and looking over her shoulder.
   "Well ok, so I had this hunch." She went on. "And it looks like I was right."
   "About what?" Sage jumped in.
   "When I saw the prophecy, I knew I had seen it somewhere before, but I couldn't remember where. But something you met led me to think of something, which led me to think of something else and then I ended up here."
   "And where's 'here'?" Liam asked.
She swiveled around in her chair and gave him a sly smile.
   "The Smithsonian."
All. Faces. Dropped.
