The Fire of Life

chapter twelve
Runaways

I stood there stunned. Just then Kodi entered the room. "I just saw Brooklyn run out of the house, what happened here?" She asked. I pointed at the jar on the floor in reply. As Kodi stared I handed her two suitcases. "What are these for?" "For packing. I know this is kinda sudden but, mom's the Ultimate," I said.
"What? That's not possible," she said. "Yes it is and you know it. Now, don't forget to pack your laptop and any magical item you can find," I said. "Even books about anything magical?" Kodi asked. "Yes, we need everything we cat get. You know those watches that I gave you when we were kids?" I asked.
"The communicator watches?" I nodded. "I'll go get mine," she said. "How did you know I'd say to bring them?" I asked. "I know you. If you bring something up during an important time I know that you want me to get mine and bring it," was her reply.

After we finished packing I said, "I know a place we can hide, for now, follow me." We raced through the neighbor hood until we were in an ally behind Ihop. "We're supposed to hide here? This is the best you could do?" Kodi asked. "I had to choose a place that we had a chance of getting food, if we needed to," I said.
"How are we supposed to live here anyway?" Kodi asked. I snapped and a building appeared. "This will be our new house," I said. "It looks kinda small," Kodi said. Just after she said that I opened the door and I heard her think, How is this the same building? "Easy. On the outside this house may look like a single room but, in fact, its a mansion," I said.
"Wow," was her simple reply. "Of course, we will only stay here until we can manage getting to Arizona," I said. Kodi had just set down her suitcase on the floor and was about to sit on a big couch. "Wait, Arizona? Why would we go to Arizona?" "Why would we go to Arizona? If you remember going there last year you'd know," I said.
"Oh no. Not camp half-breed. I barely survived there last year!" I set my stuff down and sat in a chair in front of a Gigantic T.V. and said, "I'm sorry to say but yes, we need to go to camp half-breed. This time will be for a different purpose though," I said.
Eventually we both decided to go pick our rooms. I had just sat down on my bed, about to lay down to sleep, when Kodi walked in. "Why do we have to go to Arizona?" She asked as she sat down next to me. "The stuff we need is in Arizona. The only way we can beat the Ultimate is if we go there, I truly am sorry." I said.
"Can you find a way to get there now so that I won't get to used to this place before we leave?" She asked. "Of course I can. Kodi, I'd do anything for you. I know that you'll say, 'Then don't make me go to camp half-breed,' but I have to. I'm going to keep you safe from harm," I said. With that she silently went to her room to sleep, I on the other hand had to get some transportation potions ready.
