✏ || C H A P T E R 1 "Isabella! Time to meet your cousin, Bianca!" called her mother from the kitchen. "Isabella Eerie!" scolded her mother, but it was too late. Isa had already drenched her mother with a splash of water. After all, Isa had hydrokenisis. "Don't call me Isabella," said Isa, standing firmly. "Fine," agreed her mother reluctantly, hands on her hips. ------- "Hello, my Isabella!" cooed Auntie Mae, stroking her niece on the cheek. "You've grown so much since I last saw you!" "Ugh," said Isa, rudely pushing her aunt away. "I don't like to be touched." Auntie Mae frowned, but smiled when young Bianca toddled down the stairs. "Mama?" she asked, staring at her mother inquisitively. "Oh, Isabella! This is Bianca. Bianca, say 'hi' to Isabella!" "Hi Isabewa!" said Bianca, smiling. Suddenly, a minute drop of water hit Isabella. Isa looked around - she wasn't outside and the house was quite new. That could only mean one thing: Bianca had hydrokenisis too. ✏ || C H A P T E R 2 "Bianca? Can you do that again?" asked Isa, now in the safety of Bianca's bedroom. "Do what?" replied Bianca nonchalantly, seeming unaware of what she had just done. "The water thing," grumbled Isa. "Oh, that?" said Bianca, giggling. She waved her hand and a torrent of water rushed into her room, filling it by a couple of centimetres per minute. "What are you doing?" said Isa frantically, trying to stop the growing tsunami and to stay afloat; Isa did not know how to swim. "STOP!" hollered Isa for the 5th time, and the water stopped pouring into the room. Isa gave a sigh of relief. ------ "Isabella Eerie!" thundered her mother. "Bianca Levesque!" bellowed Auntie Mae, exploding into the water-filled room. "What were you thinking? You- let's leave," shouted Mom, dragging Isa out of the room. "You can't keep your powers in control," whispered Mom. She suddenly took out a syringe. "What are you doing?" asked Isa, who was horrified by her traumatic experience with needles. Without a reply, she carefully filled it with an almost eerie dark blue colour that seemed to be glowing. Isa's mother inseted the needle into Isa's neck and pushed down the plunger. [1] ------ "Where am I?" asked Isa. She was wandering through a forest - the colour of it reminded her of the liquid that was in the syringe. [2] Something hazy appeared in the fog - it looked like a cabin. She ran closer to see what it was. "Welcome to Camp Cryptic," said a woman's voice. ------ 1 = Isa screamed; an icy-cold liquid spread from her neck all around her. 2 = Her neck suddenly throbbed thinking of the memory. She flinched.
