Explosions made me hurtle backwards. March was shouting “Out! Out!” But that was the only thing g I heard then the explosions drowned out the rest. It wasn’t long until it stopped. March was speaking rapidly, but the noise had made me deaf.

I ran towards the door with the rest of the class as March led us outside. We walked for what must have been six miles when March told us to stop ( By then my ears had cleared up which was a huge relief.) A cardboard box stood in front of us a hole was cut in the middle of it. It looked pretty nasty and beat up and I did not intend to go near it , but of course March and her weird ways had to step in and told us to crawl inside then without hesitation she slid inside the hole.

So obviously, we followed.  Inside was a lot bigger than the outside and was pretty impressive.  There were a lot of couches tables and a very nice buffet set up.  Did I mention that I was starving? But before any of had even gotten half way to the food, two women stopped us.  One had very pale skin and white hair, but looked pretty young.  The other had very dark skin and long black hair.  “Oh”, March said with a smirk.  “These are my two little sisters, December and May”.  I squinted as I tried to connect the dots, and then I asked, before I could stop myself, “Are you guys the months?”.

“Quite right”, said December.  “Or, more like, the months were named after us.”.  “Mmmm Sure”, Rosey said , “But, I’m pretty sure you were named after the months”.  “Dude”, Dillon said, “Just saw March shoot fire out of her hand and then went through a tiny cardboard box into this awesome joint.  Or maybe you didn’t, because you were too busy being perfect, and making sure everyone else was perfect too”.

“Hmph”, she grumbled, but stopped talking.  “Well”, March said, “Since we’re all in the mood for an explanation, I might as well tell you why you’re here.  Please sit down and let the story begin.”.  The lights dimmed, a stage appeared and I found myself sitting in a cozy rocking chair.

“Before humans”, March started, “There were two groups of beings.  The Fae and the Magiks.  They both used different types of magic.  The Fae used powers to torture and cause harm.  And that’s how they ruled.  Eventually, they became more civilized and learned to use their powers for other things, like medicine and hypnotism.  Magiks, on the other hand, used different elements, like earth and water.  It was much more powerful and dangerous.  The Fae and Magiks were never friends, except for two.  These two had been friends ever since they were little.  And set up an inventing studio. One day, they were fresh out of ideas.  Until the Fae thought up an idea.  Back then the fae were power obsessed and so this was her ‘idea’.  We could make a new species with both of our types of magic.  The Magik agreed.  And so, they went to work.  It took all their strenght to make something even partially like either one of them, but they finally did.  Only it was a great disappointment.  All the power that they used up hadn’t actually gotten

It was another morning which meant another day of staying inside. I turned my back to the sun and groaned. ” Wake up!” yelled my little brother, ketchup “why?” I moaned. “because someones trying a new invention to stop the ground from sucking us up!” he said brightly “ketchup,we’ve had this problem for hundreds of years why do you think a few pieces of scrap metal glued together would make a difference?”I asked. ” Well for hundreds of years no one was named ketchup then I got named ketchup and that made a difference.” He had a point. “But that’s not the same.” I insisted. He just ignored me and started drawing. It felt a little stuffy ,so I opened the window closest to Ketchup. A sudden gust of wind blew the drawing out the window. Ketchup ran out the front door to catch it. “Stop!” I yelled, but it was to late,Ketchup was stuck to the ground and sinking fast. Then I ran out side and pulled his arm to stop him from sinking miraculously he started rising, the ground pulled away from his feet and there we were,standing not sinking in the never before used road. I knew things were changing.
