With a shaky

Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

With a shaky

With a shaky breath, you walk out onto stage. A bright light shines in your face. Once your legs stop wobbling and your body sways to the beat, you can concentrate on maintaing eye contact with the judges. When your turn is over, a judge seems to somehow teleported in front of you. She pulls you aside, a dangerous look on her face. She doesn't appear much older than you. She has a scar across her face and one black eye and purple eye. She wears a leather jacket and a ripped jean skirt. Her shirt is a plain white t-shirt with a saying scrolled in messy black cursive. It says,"If I got rid of my deoms, I'd loose my angels.-Tennessee Williams." Her pixie cut-hair was black with bright and pale blue tips. She dragged through the mess of backstage without saying a single word. By the time she stops, you've landed in a spot with only one other person, who had a pen in hand and a sheet pressed against the wall. They were filling something out. The girl who dragged you here lets go of your arm. She silently hands you a note and a pen. You look down at it. When you go to look at the girl, she's disappeared. You look down at the crumpled note you're clutching in your hand. In permanent marker, it reads:

Hey. My name is Rebel Hart. 

Seems fitting, You think to yourself.

The other person left as you stare at the paper. you whip out thw pen and hover it over the paper, hesitant. You slowly start to fill out the form:

Day 1-

Luminara set down the paper backstage. All of the sudden, the world wavered and blurred. Light shimmered and wove itself in and out. Luminara closed her eyes, blinded, until the light split. It broke open to reveal a small cabin. 

Like a very small cabin. 

Like a tiny cabin.

Other People were appearing. 

Luminara had no clue how they were all going to fit, unless there was some Harry Potter-type magic.

And that there was.

Rebel appeared in the doorway. 

“Hey y’all! I see you’ve made it. This will be your home for a while. Now let’s get acquainted. Follow me.” She waved her hand a little, as if beckoning.

Luminara and the others stepped in, and that’s when Harry Potter magic happened. The cabin appeared tiny, but on the inside it was huge! 

In the far right corner, there was a fireplace made of small grey stones and a wooden mantel mounted on it.

Speaking of Harry Potter, there were bookshelves all around filled with all types of books, but there were multiple copies of each Harry Potter book.

In front of the fireplace was an L-shaped couch, and many pillows and little poofs to sit and read on. This area took up most of the space.

In the far left corner, there was a small area with a few desks, each with a laptop.

There was a popcorn machine, mini fridge, ice cream machine, and a vending machine in the nearest right corner.

In the near left corner, there was a pool table, ping pong, air hockey, and some pinball machines.

There was a small spiral staircase going up in the middle.

It was really nice.

“Okay. So. This is the lounge/lobby area.” Rebel got everyone’s attention by saying that, breaking the silence as they admired the room.

“Upstairs are the rooms. So, follow me.”

Everyone slowly shuffled up the stairs. There was a large landing at the top. The light wooden floors didn’t creak, even under all the pressure.

Luminara noted this.

A  man, who looked to be in his early twenties, popped out of a room, followed by a young girl, about 17, and a man older them, probably in his late twenties or early thirties.

“Ah! Good! These will be your ‘counselors’.” Rebel motioned to them, putting air quotes around ‘counselors’. 

Rebel pointed towards the first boy and said, “This is Sam or Sammy, but he goes by Breeze. He’ll be helping with the air/lightning/wind category.” Sam blushed.

She pointed to the older boy. “This is James, but he goes by Everest. He’ll be in charge of the Earth/Nature/Gravity category.” 

“And finally,last, but definitely not least, this is my girlfriend, Alex,” Rebel and Alex grabbed hands at the moment and smiled at each other. Then Rebel continued, “But she goes by Wave. She’s in charge of the Water/Ice/Snow category.”

“Oh, and you know me, I’m in charge of the Fire/Lava category. My name is Rebel.” She tightened a bit then, the edges of her lips turning down and her eyes looking somewhat angry. “And that’s all you need to know about me.”

Alex squeezed her hand and whispered into her ear, “relax, it’s fine.”

Rebel took a breath, then went on, “Alright. So, I will show you the dorms. But first, here are the people in each category. In Fire with me, we have La’crosse, Ethan, Kyo, and Dusk. In Water with Wave we have Hollyshock, Agent Winter, Spellbound, Grace, Isabel, Sally, Harper, and Ashley. Next, camping in Air with Breeze will be Secret, Finch, Luna, Martha, and Tumble. And Finally, in Earth, it will be Phox, Error, Estrella, and Luminara. Did I forgot anyone?” 

The guests shook their heads

“No? Good, let’s have a little tour.” She went down a hallway left of the stairs, and Stopped in front of a door painted blue.

“This is the water room. And here across the hall is the pool.” She turned around and pointed to a clear door.

Then she led them down another hallway with a red-ish orange door.

“This is fire, and across the hallway is a nice firepit area. Down here..” She moved quickly to the next hallway. The next door was white-ish grey.

“Air. And across from this one is a room full of fans. And finally, down the last hallway, is Earth. In here is a little forest!” 

“So that concludes the tour. You can all head to your rooms, since all of you have magically adjusted to the time zone. Tomorrow we’ll explain a bit more.”

And with that, they all set off to their rooms.

Day 1(end):

Harper stepped into the water room with the other people. There were a lot of them. Harper looked around. There was a door marked in pretty cursive with *Wave*. There were doors on the opposite side of the room with the same cursive that read *Boys* and *Girls*

Wave explained, “Your bed will have your name on it. I understand that some of you had powers previously. Even if they were of the same category that you’re learning, they have been taken away.” She stared mostly at Agent Winter, but looked around the room at the students a bit.

“Alright. There are showers in the bathrooms if you’d like.” She smiled and then turned and walked into her room.

Harper looked around for her bed. She found a triple bunk bed and squealed. The top one had her name on it. The middle, that came out forward on the right side, was for  Spellbound, and Grace was on the bottom. There were lanterns hanging from Harper’s bed above the big gap by Spellbound’s bed. She called them over, super excited. Spellbound stared with her mouth hung open.

“Whoa!!”

EEK!” Harper was so excited.

Grace was actually pretty happy about the bottom. There were lanterns above, cabinets below, and the bed looked so cool! They all climbed in, Harper falling off the ladder face first onto the bed. 

She heard a crinkle under her stomach. She sat up and found a brown bag with the words, in cursive, again, *You’ll need this, too*

Harper leaned off the side of the bunk-this made her a tiny bit nauseous, but not really. 

Hey guys….? Did you-” Spellbound cut her off, saying:

“I got a bag. Open it! It’s cool!”

So Harper and Grace did as they were told. Harper opened the bag to find a black body suit with light blue stripes down the sides. The sleeves had fingerless gloves attached. There was a thick black choker necklace attached to light blue, dark blue, and white necklaces. There was also a hair piece that looked like a wave  to put around a bun in her hair. She looked at it, then leaned over the side again.

“Do you wanna go try them on?” she asked.

“(Yes Please!!!)”

“Okay, lets go!”

They walked into the bathroom, and the walls were blue with fish on them. The tile was blue as well. 

They all changed quickly, and when they looked at each other, they had a fan-girly-squeal-fest again. 

Grace had a black top and black skirt, that faded into a dark blue at the bottom ,giving it an ombre affect. Her sleeves were lace and had the same affect as the skirt. In her hair was a small clip of a snowflake.

Spellbound had pants like Harper, only her sleeves were cut short at the top of her shoulder that ruffled out, like a fancy dress. She had a bracelet that looked a lot like Harper’s hair piece. She also got earings that were shaped like snowflakes. 

Harper thought their outfits were cooler, but then she remembered her awesome accessories. 

When a girl came in with pajamas, they all realized how late it was. They changed out and climbed back into their bunks and fell asleep, happily awaiting what the next day would bring.
