Teaser
(Mason’s point of view)
Suddenly,
something caught the corner of my eyes and I turned away from Sky. Tiny bubbles
of water hovered in the air in front of us. They looked like bubbles, so I
zapped one with a small bolt and it popped.
I knew it was from Sky by the sly
yet innocent smile and her giggles, not to mention a few more bubbles coming
out of the water bottle. It was amazing to see this transformation, yet she was
handling it better than I would have. Perhaps it was the fact that she was
getting used to the paranormal life, and she had support around her.
I closed the bottle and handed it to
her just in case she wanted more. With a shake of my head, I mouthed, “No, no,
no.” After planting a kiss on her forehead, I put it back inside the backpack.
To my surprise, I saw more water
bubblies, so I poked one with my finger … it wasn’t the reaction that I got
last time. My finger went right through it, and it retained its form when I removed
my finger. I even used my bolt, but nothing happened.
Turning at the sound of laughter, I
noted we were engulfed with water bubbles, multiplying by the second. I glanced
at Noah and Tim, the two that I thought were behind this, but when they seemed
fascinated by it. Therefore, I knew they had nothing to do with it, especially
since their water bottles were closed. The only other person I thought would do
this was Sky, but she appeared worried instead of amused.
“Mason. I’m not doing this. I don’t
think it’s from one of us,” she said under her breath. Her eyes were wide and
frightened, glued to the bubbles dancing in front of her.

It was a way to grieve the death of her beloved grandmother, and inspired by a dream she once had as a young girl. When she started reading new adult novels, she fell in love with the genre. It was the reason she had to write one-Something Great. Why the pen name, M Clarke? She tours with Magic Johnson Foundation to promote literacy and her children’s chapter book-No Bullies Allowed.
