A Heart That Flutters
He was gone. Nothing more. Nothing less. The police report was already filed and that was that. This would be the part in a movie where I would be by myself dramatically pouting with rain falling and some emo teen band would score a hit single on my misery. Thing was, I was at a bus stop in the middle of the night with two very pissed off looking secret agents on either side of me as if escorting me was inconvenient. They didn’t even let me call my mom, said that she was currently engaged in an “important assignment” and this incident would be a “considerable distraction”.
Inconvenient. Considerable Distraction. They treated me like a worthless burden…. And yet I was the one who figured the damn thing out, something there so called years of training and millions of dollars couldn’t do! My father was murdered, got beaten by ninjas, threatened to be killed if I stuck my nose in again, wanted to cry in the worst way, and couldn’t even call my mother! Oh man, I remembered the scene in the Disney Peter Pan where Wendy was telling the lost boys what it was like to have a mother…and…god…I would never hear him do the voices again. Grr…I…I…Just wanted to…
“Girl, cry already. You want to, so do. It’s never healthy to keep it all in. Can rip you apart in more ways then ya’ think.”
I looked up sharply to see that the two guards beside me were breathing deeply as if in a deep slumber, and that a dark skinned man with deep sunglasses was sitting right next to me. What I wanted to say was “So you can do what? Drag me in a dark ally and kill me? Go ahead, as if this day couldn’t get any worse.” But due to all the swelling from my injuries I managed babble “Sobe yab koon boob what? Dwag meeb in a dwook abby an kwill meeb?”
“You’re in pain, and I’ll let it slide. But believe it or not Clio, there are people in this world that genuinely look out for each other.” His voice was soft, mesmerizing, and rolled off his lips like a saxophone. If it wasn’t for the Ninjas, I would have been surprised by the fact he knew my name. Hell, every one seemed to know it these days. “Names Specs by the way.” He threw out his and we shook hands. “Cliebo.” I replied.
“Yeah I know.” He motioned with his blind-mans cane at the two agents besides me, “And if your worried about them, they’ll wake up when we’re good and done.”
“Wab? Yube hab pewers or something?” I managed to croak while sneezing out a blood clot (that why the last word came out clearly)
“Powers? You mean the things that the Institution lauds over the world? Na, more like a knack if you get down to it. Life’s a spectrum, a lot like the spectrum of color. You got your good, and your bad, but all together it makes life.”
“Wait! Institution-”
“Government troubleshootin’. Where people with a whole different kind of knack go to be enlisted. Sadly both of your parents were drafted because of their knacks. Knick-knacks that make men in suites more powerful and scary. The next big bag’s a knick knack. How’z about that?”
“Let me get this straight, our government have people who have…er…knacks, and there like the next weapon or program?”
“Bingo kid. They tested you for a knack, but you don’t have the kind there lookn’ for. Didn’t figure you had one.”
“Do I?” I asked exasperated.
He looked at me and his smile spread warmly. “Sorta, a knack wait’n to happen sota speak. In fact that’s why your hurtin’ so bad. Your knack comes from the spectrum of life, and your heart doesn’t drum on like everyone else. Nop, your heart flutters.”
“Flutters?” my head was officially beginning to hurt.
“Listen close ‘cause time is something we never get a lot of. ‘Course, you were always good at listening. Familiar with the Italian fairy tale of the Dolomites?”
“No.”
“Ah see, long story short prince meets girl. But girl lives on the moon. So the Price (so smitten by girl) wants to go to the moon. Helped by kind Dwarves passing by. Prince a girl hit it off, and price wants to bring his girl to be married on the earth. Works out for a while, but girl has a heart that flutters and can’t live on the earth. Makes her real slick, dying even. Prince is besides himself sad, ‘case his girl is going to die and he don’t know why. Dwarves figure it out, gal needs a bit of home. So Dwarves use there knack to bring a bit of the moon down to earth which makes the mountains. Girl gets better, price an’ her have lots of great children and live happily ever after. Believe in fairies?”
Considering what my favorite book is how could I say otherwise? “Yes!”
Hey, didn’t want a sprite on my conscience if I said the other response.
“Get this those children were the first if you know what I mean. Yet they can’t be with us ‘case people don’t believe.”
The bus pulled up just then and opened with as hiss. “Right on time,” Specs announced
“Flutter on Clio. Might be late for your daddy, but go on doing right an’ I think your fairy might find you someday. I think you know how to do just that.” With that he got up and walked away down the street. I leapt onto the bus, deposited my change, and took a window side seat. With that, I opened my dads phone and began to go through the code numbers until I saw a very familiar one. I dialed, and preyed that it was still connected. One thing you must love about the governments own equipment is that they would never bother to tap it. Within moments a feminine voice came over the other end. “Agent Emerson, codename: Misguise. Reporting.”
I bit my lip, and preyed that she wasn’t the cold hearted assassin type. I eyes scanned the remaining crowd for anyone who wanted to put a katana through me. “Uh…hi…sis how is it goin? It’s me Clio.”
There was along pause on the other side of the phone, quickly followed with bewilderment. “Clio?! This is a super-secure government line! How in the hell are you able to call me?”
It just came out, “Look I’ve had a really bad day, and I really need someone to talk to…” My eyes began to tear “Can you meet me at Los Angelis Airport?”

Journey
It's a funny feeling. Being in charge of an entire people, that is. At first I thought this was going to be a piece of cake; wear some pretty dresses, do a few rituals, and train the newbies. But now I find out that the entire island is built upon traditions thousands of years old and it's up to me to uphold them. I have to be load bearing pillar for all of my family. I often wonder if I'm strong enough or even wise enough to be that moral center. I've done much in the past week. A lot of it has been receiving training, mental mostly.
I enter this special meditative state where I can train with all the past priestesses, going over spells, rituals, traditions, and even fighting tactics so I can be prepared to lead the girls into battle if need be. Some of the traditions are kind of daunting though, I mean, going to America so I can "gain an understanding of how the outside world works" sounds very ominous. I can't help but wonder what these people will be like. Will they be fat, lazy savages, or will they be delightful and intellectually engaging?
Well, whoever they may be, Teresa told me that I have to find a mate among one of them. Thank gods I don't have to have a child with him right away, I just have to pick one, kind of like going to a candy shop. Pick the tastiest one. ;-) The day I was getting ready to leave, Sophia came to me, and I finally had the chance to talk to her about the way she looked at the induction ceremony.
Me: "Sophia, I noticed that you looked at me with such anger in your eyes, why?"
Sophia: "Oh please, Serenity, don't flatter yourself, I was just trying to concentrate on the ceremony."
Me: "Come on, I might be out of it sometimes but, you were burning a hole right into my dress."
S: "Wow, you actually managed to keep one on this time?"
Me: "Listen! Tell me what your problem is right now!"
S: "You! You are my problem! I've always had to be in your shadow all my life. It doesn't even feel like I'm me anymore, since everyone calls me 'Serenity's sister' anyway. Do you have any idea how much shit I've gone through trying to become priestess?"
Me: "I-"
S: "No, shut up! This is my time to talk! You're water abilities came naturally while I worked so...so hard for me. And here you come prancing along with your high heels and walk right over my dreams."
Me: "Things do not come naturally to me. Water doesn't magically flow from my hands...well, it does, but still it's not easy! I worked day and night to be who I am today. I was always the screw up when I was younger, when you were a baby. But when I saw looking up at me from your crib trying to mimic what I was doing, I knew I had to do better. So I completely threw myself into training so I could reach the level of an elite. Don't you see? I did all this so you would be proud of me!"
S: "Well, it looks like somewhere along the line you lost your reason. I'm lost. Goodbye, Serenity."
And with that she left. I could have ran after and made her listen to me but, I figured that would just make things worse. I'll just give her time to figure things out. Looking out at the ocean from this airplane window really puts things in perspective for me; we're so completely insignificant compared to this gigantic blue pearl we live on. I wonder, does what we do even matter in the big scheme of things? I guess, the only way we can find out is to do what we think is right and hope that it really is the right thing to do. Take a leap of faith.

I share lyrics!
If you are not being coming to concert, I share lyrics to you so you can sing with me on radio!
WHITE BLOSSOM
The cherry blossom
makes no sound as it drifts down
I am like a ghost
Caressing your heart
As these effervescent waves
of reality
come down over my black mind
I will open up
the petals of your red lips
kissing your white soul
I have no remorse
truly beautiful cherry
blossoms are falling
The warm summer breeze
makes no sound as it whispers
I am like a ghost
Yes! I am writing good song? Okay!
On second note... Item at end of list is missing. It was not me... I do not think it was someone with me... I am contacting my master later. He must know of this.
On road right now! I tell you more later! Oyasumi Nasai!!!!
