I walked into the lounge so I could meditate and almost crashed right into Super Boy.
“Sorry” I apologized
“It’s all right” he smiled
I took a step back, weary of him. Usually, if I bumped into him, he would just look at me. This time he actually smiled. Something must be wrong. Super Boy never smiles at me. I looked at the rest of the team and realized they were all standing in a line, staring at me. Wally looked as if he was holding something behind his back. I looked them all up and down then went to sit on the sofá to meditate. I crossed my legs and closed my eyes, but now, meditating was the last thing on my mind. I focused on their conversation.
“…when should we have it?” Wally asked
“Not sure…have it here?” I heard Artemis ask
“…when…stupid” Wally exclaimed
“…arguing” said a calm Kalder
“…here…two weeks…surprise…presents” Robin said
I gasped. They found out! I ran out cursing in Greek. Skatá! Mo̱rologó! Óchi! I ran to my room and locked the door, ignoring the look Red Tornado gave me. I pulled out my I.I.M device and called Robin.
“Robin” I said in a voice like Artemis’s
“Artemis…er…Diana?” he asked
“Yes. I must suggest you do not even think about throwing Sarah a party in two weeks” I said
“Sarah? What are you doing talking for Diana?” he demanded. I cut the line and curled into a ball. I put up a mural of pure black magic in front of the door incase Robin managed to hack it open. I shivered even though it was warm in my room. I drew up an Iris message.
“O Iris, accept my offering” I murmured, throwing in a drachma “Hekate, Mt. Olympus”
“Hekate!” I shouted when the picture came into view
“What?! Who are you?!” she asked
“The name is Sarah. I need some of your blood” I said, getting right to the point
“Why?” she asked
“So I can learn magic” I mused “So I can become a enchantress”
“That seems reasonable enough. Most people say: ‘So I can magically burn my teacher!’” she laughed
“So you’ll do it?” I asked hopefully
“Sure, why not?” she agreed
