(I the author really dislike being sick.)
I hurried back to Jena. I was sure I had seen and heard something, but I'll check later. In the meantime however, I needed to get Jena home. Jena didn't even notice my absense or my presense. She was so much like me, it would be hard to believe we were not sisters.
It didn't take long to get back to her house. Herbert and Luke were still gone at the park and likely would be there for awhile. I had just finished making lunch when Herbert's parents came home. "Surprize!" They said.
Jena reluctantly put the book down but she ran with eagerness into her father's arms. I noticed that Jena's mom's arm was in a cast but other than that, she seemed fine from the car accident.
"Thanks for taking care of Jena." she told me
"You're welcome."
"And you made them lunch too? Thank you."
"No problem."
"Where are the boys?"
"Still at the park."
I began walking home when I had the feeling I was being followed.

story cont. pt 6
"I'm getting too old for this." Mr. Marks grumbled
"Nonsense, when were you ever young?" Honde teased
"I'll get you for that you young scamp."
"I am a Scamp!" Honda grinned
Mr. Marks scowled. "You better not enjoy this too much."
"What? Me not making fun, you must have the wrong scamp." Honde handed the tall dwarf a belt.
Mr. Marks glared at Honde, but put on the belt. There was a dim flash of light. Where Mr. Marks once was there was a dark cat, a black/redish color. However to Earther eyes, it would be black. Mr. Marks was still glaring at Honde though.
Honde also put on a belt but the only thing that changed about him was his ears. They went from pointed to round. The buzz from the belt dies down and stopped.
Suddenly they heard a twig break. They had time only to look before a Earther appeared. She looked puzzled for a second before she scanned the area.
"Hello." Honde said
"Hi." Looking slightly embarressed the girl continued, "My name is Roybin. What's yours?"
"It's Honde." Honde stared at her 'She's the most beutiful Earther I've ever seen.' he thought "What are you doing over here?"
She shook her head, "I um, like trees." She noticed Mr. Marks. "What is your cat's name?"
"His name is Leon. He is his own cat though, not really mine." Honde said
"Where are you two headed then?" Roybin asked
"We were um just walking around." Honde thought quickly
"Well I need to get going. See you around." Roybin said and quickly disappeared.
Mr. Marks frowned in his cat form, "I've seen her somewhere before. She also came directly here, we would have heard her if she was just wandering around."
"I'm pretty sure she wasn't an assasin." Herbe said
"Yet you never know."
"We could follow her."
"Are you crazy?" Mr. Marks sputtered but his words fell on deaf ears. Honde was already following her.
"Nonsense, when were you ever young?" Honde teased
"I'll get you for that you young scamp."

story cont. pt 5
At the library Jena headed directly toward the fantasy section. I was in the young adult fantasy section browsing, when I noticed a bright flash of light outside.
"Hey Jena, I'm going to go outside." I told her
"Alreadly?!" Jena exclaimed
"Yeah."
"But I've only found three books so far!" Jena pouted
I glanced at her books and a smile twitched at the corner of my mouth. Her books were novels and of a high reading level. Jena and I were quite similar. I normally would stay longer and get several books of the same thickness as hers. "I think you'll be fine for today. You can come back tommorrow to turn them in."
I hurried her through the check-out line. "Can you wait here on the bench?" I asked her even though she was already sitting, starting a book.
I now knew I hadn't imagined the flash, I could hear a very high pitched buzz. In the corner of the park there was a small grove of trees where it was coming from. I glanced around for some reason to make sure I wasn't being followed. Cautiously I entered the realm of the trees. My eyes were drawn to a certain spot.

story cont. pt 4
The next morning I rode my bike over to Herbert's house. Herbert's younger siblings, Luke and Jena raced to the door.
"Hi Luke, hi Jena."
"Herbert is still asleep." Luke annonced
"Can you make us breakfast Roybin? We're starving." Jena begged
"Herbert can't cook as well as you anyway." Luke pleaded
"All right." I relented.
"Horay!" they cheered Before I could change my mind, they grabbed my hands and pulled me into the kitchen.
"What do you guys want?"
"Muffins!!! The ones that are apple crumble!" They shouted
"Good choice. It's easy, heathy, mostly, and super tasty." I approved
By the time Herbert came downstairs, his brown hair tossled, everyone was already devouring the muffins with enthusiasim.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thanks Roybin. You are a life saver!" Herbert said as he reached for a couple muffins. The phone rang as he was just was about to take a bite. Herbert sighed, looking longingly at the muffin as raced to answer the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hi Dad, how's Mom?"
"That's Great! See you guys soon." Herbert put the phone back down.
"Mom is going to come home around lunch time." He annonced
"Yah!" Luke and Jena cheered.
"So what are you going to do until then? You've got a few hours."
"I want to go to the library." Jena said
"I want to go to the park." Luke said
"That's easy to do. We'll go to the library and then the park." Herbert looked relived
"I was planning on heading over there as well." I said
"You and Jena are such voracious readers." Herbert teased
"And you and Luke watch too many movies and video games." I teased back.
"Hi Luke, hi Jena."
"Herbert is still asleep." Luke annonced
"Can you make us breakfast Roybin? We're starving." Jena begged

I wonder if Herbert is as tired as I am. Probably. His siblings are extremely entergetic. He used to be like that once.
I think I'm seeing things--I must be in one of my paranoid moods. I thought I saw something following me, but when I shook my head, it wasn't there anymore.

story continued pt 2
Behind the door I had left behind, Mr. Marks was conversing with another being, who was not an Earther.
"Now we know."
"How long do you think we have before being discovered?"
"Not very long if an Earther can find us."
"How are we going to hide now?"
"I don't know Honde. I do know that if the assasins find us, we're toast."
"I wish my parents could know I was alive."
"The risk is too great." Mr. Marks cautioned
"I know Leon, it's just an idle wish." Honde sighed
"We need another way to hide."
"How?"
"Maybe if we blend in with the natives?" Mr. Marks sugested
"We would need someone to explain how things work without us basically telling them we aren't human."
"We can't contact the council to direct us to a contact."
"It can't be a completly random choice."
"We don't have to be humans."
"I want to be able to eat human food though, it is some of the best in the galexy."
"Ok, maybe we'll be in different forms?"
"We still have to know what the forms look like and slightly alter them."
"Yes, and to do that we can use the Eyespyder."
"That's ok."
"Not for me, it is really hard to asses character on camera."
"It's worth a try though."
"So long as I don't regret it."
"Yah!"
"Now we know."
"How long do you think we have before being discovered?"
"Not very long if an Earther can find us."
"How are we going to hide now?"
"I don't know Honde. I do know that if the assasins find us, we're toast."
"I wish my parents could know I was alive."
