Marta listened intently. Online school, and if she could do it here with Sterling. It would fix a lot of her issues. Sterling seemed about her age, and she had welcomed Marta with open arms. When Sterling admitted she could channel and proved it by doing so Marta smiled, looking at the pretty ball of light in awe. She had done it so casually. And it was this moment that Marta felt truly safe here.
Soccor - Marta missed soccer. She had played since before things went bad. And violin. Marta didn’t play instruments, just liked to sing, but she loved all sorts of music. Maybe she could also play soccer. She would have to talk to Ricky about this. But for the first time in a long time, she felt excited about something. And this strange club felt like a place she could call home.
Sterling asked about Elyse, and Marta got butterflies in her stomach. It was clear that Sterling knew what Elyse was. She wouldn’t have asked otherwise. And she definitely wouldn’t have asked while looking at Splash. Marta turned to look at Elyse, and the woman was looking toward her. Marta looked at the orb of light and back to Elyse. Elyse caught her meaning, smiled and nodded.
”I am…that’s how we met. She came to me when they started talking to me.” she put her hand on Splash’s head. ”Dont be scared of Splash. She’s a good girl.”
She suddenly had something she wanted to ask Elyse and waved for her to come over.
