An Evening Stroll (Kamillia Engel)

[Kamillia Engel]

She really didn’t, but everyone had their own insecurities, and that was Kam’s. If you say she was beautiful she would take the complement without compliant, and give you one back. But when it came to her stutter, she despised it.”Steel? Your power effects you’re mass too?” Super strength didn’t seem like it was a power that effects ones mass.

Just because she was outgoing, didn’t mean she liked to spend a lot of time with others… She was more of an animal person than people person. “I guess it’s just because I like spending more time with animals than I do with people. There’s just a lot of types of people that make me want to puke.” It was just easier for her to stay to herself. “England is also another one, Kocher, which is the one I went to.” Because she was from Germany, and didn’t mind bragging about it. “It was easier for me because my family is meta, so I had that knowledge from the start.” Kamillia started laughing, but then frowned “There’s the swimming team, and basketball is kind of a non-contact sport. Soccer, and baseball also don’t have a lot of contact in it… Though with baseball you would probably always get a homerun..”


“That would be awesome! Do you have a cell phone?” So, she could program her number into it.

Soon they were at Kamillia’s house, “There’s my house.” She pointed to it. “We will have to get Jim into the house from my window…” Because she did sneak out..

[Jason Prowler]

Jason shook his head and waved his hand” No no no, my mass is the same thank God, but you know if I tried doing a kickflip the landing would be rough for the skateboard. My super strength is throughout my entire body so my legs are affected, it gives me a killer jump though. Why are you calling me fat?” he said in jest.

Jason nodded as she explained to him why she kept to herself. “Well if it helps I can bark a little.” He said to get her to smile more. “But there are a lot of scumbags out there. The people at Hammel seem okay for the most part. Who knows, there are tons of people I haven’t met yet, I’m sure it’s inevitable for someone to rub me the wrong way.” It took a lot to get on Jason’s bad side, he was a big people person and he assimilated well with others. “So yew study in London now 'ave you?” Jason said in a British accent. “England’s actually a country I never been to, I’ve been all over though Japan, Australia, Germany, Cuba, I’m sorta what you call a military brat, or at least I used to be.” Jason shrugged and pondered for a moment. “You know swimming and baseball may not be a bad idea but a sport like soccer, I can see it now, Goalie Killed By Soccer Missile , I wouldn’t want to be at the end of my kicks.” He laughed.

Jason whipped out his IPhone, “Of course I have a cell phone girl.” He passed her his IPhone. “The codes 9876.”

The two reached Kam’s house, she seemed cautious as they approached her bedroom window. Jason peered at the window and then back to Kam with a confused expression on, “Can’t we just go in through the front?” he asked.

[Kamillia Engel]

“Oh okay! Now I get ya! Well I can still teach you the basics of skateboarding?” Kam put her hand over her mouth, “Oh I totally didn’t mean it like that! You’re in really good shape, you aren’t fat..” Her face flushed and she looked at the ground.

Kamillia couldn’t help but laugh “Oh, my.. You don’t have to do that. But thanks for the offer.” She just shrugged off his next statement “It really doesn’t make a difference to me… I’m the complete opposite of you then, because people get on my bad side easily.. I know that’s mostly me though.” They had their own things, and their own preferences, Kam was just pickier. “wait! No way! You lived in Germany? I’m from Germany! I was born and raised there!” Now that was really cool, it wasn’t every day that he met someone who lived in Germany down here. “Yeah.. Maybe not soccer.. But it was one of the ones that came to mind is all. Though that would make for a funny youtube video… ‘soccer missile’ Not of course… he whole killing goalie thing.. Maybe it going through like a car or stop sign…” She shrugged.


“Awesome!” She took his phone, then raised an eyebrow at Jason, “You could have just done it yourself.. Now I can get into your phone whenever I want.” If she ever got a hold of his phone. She put the passcode in, then added her phone number to his contacts, then of course she took a normal looking picture of herself and put it as a contact picture, so whenever he got a call or text from her he would see her cute face! “May I ask what is so special about the numbers 9876?” She asked as she handed him his phone back.


“No.. I snuck out.. At this time my sister would be sleeping and my gramps might or might not be up.. Not to mention the door is locked and I didn’t bring a key..” Why would she when she left the house through her window? She came to her window “Okay here’s my window..” She opened it, then looked at Jason. “This is where you come in…”

[Jason Prowler]

He smiled at her offer “I would love that”. Jason enjoyed learning new things and skateboarding was right up his alley, he loved anything that had to do with going fast, running, or anything that kept him active. He burst out laughing “I’m only kidding! I know I’m not fat, I just like to play around sometimes.” He pulled the neck of his shirt forward and looked down into it, seeing if you could see any fat. “Yup, we’re good.” Jason jested.

Jason raised an eyebrow, “You’re so sweet though Kam, it’s hard to believe you have a bad side. I mean…you offered to teach me how to skateboard and to go horseback riding and you barley know anything about me.” Kam got really excited when he mentioned that he stayed in Germany. “Chyeah I lived in Germany! I stayed in Böblingen, there’s a U.S Marine base there. It was beautiful, the town has this clear lake that sits right in the center of everything where you can go canoeing or paddle boating. I only stayed there about four months so my German isn’t the best.” He chuckled. “That’s so awesome that you’re from Germany, I bet you miss it, it was gorgeous there, definitely better than Vermont!”

“I trust ya.” Jason shrugged as she plugged in her number into his IPhone. “Why are you saying I shouldn’t?” He joked. Kam took a picture of herself on his phone and he just smiled while shaking his head. “Perfect, now when you call I can see that sexy face of yours!” he took back his phone and paused for a second. “Well…” he took a breath. “It’s the last four digits of my brother’s serial number; he was an officer in the marines.” He pulled out his dog tags from underneath his shirt to show Kam. “Check it out.” The imprint of the dog tags read Prowler, Adam on the first line followed by his serial number 3839876, then his blood type A Positive, followed by his religion reading Catholic. Jason tucked the tags neatly back into his shirt. “He was declared missing in action not too long ago, Adam was all the family I had to my name so I want to keep his memory alive as much as possible. “ Jason who was usually full of smiles frowned and looked down to the ground, in deep thought for a couple seconds before he shook it off.

“Ohhhhhh, snuck out, you rebel you!” He teased. “Oaky let’s do this covert ops mission.” He bent over to pick up Jim who was nearby. With a great amount of ease he did so, Jason lifted him with two hands to make sure he supported the Labrador as he began to push Jim through the opened window towards Kam. “You got him?” Jason whispered.

[Kamillia Engel]

Kamillia chuckled a bit “Well okay then. Sorry..” She scratched the back of her head a little. She should have he was joking, but oh well. She’ll know for next time.

Kamillia blushed a little, again “You’re sweet too. Well it’s not my personality that is bad, however people have told me that I say offense stuff a lot, but I don’t see it. It’s just that I have fun getting into trouble. I don’t know if that’s a bad thing, and I would like to think it’s just a phase.. But who knows. And you seem like a decent guy. So I’m not too worried about you.” Maybe she was just too naïve to think Jason would harm her in that sort of stranger danger way. “Oh really! That’s so cool. I know where that’s at, but have never been there.” Kamillia nodded “Yeah I do… But I go back there every once or twice a year.”

Kamillia laughed “Nah, you can trust me. I would probably forget it in two hours anyways..” she shrugged, she had bad memory when it came to little things like that. It took her a year to remember her locker combination by heart. At least Kam hadn’t done one of those ducky faces, she thought they were so stupid. Kamillia winked at him “Yep, and one of these days I want to get a picture of you.” Kam nodded every once in awhile to show she was listening, and she really was listening. Kam stepped closer to Jason, to look at the dog tags. “Oh wow.” Then stepped back as he put the necklace back under his shirt, “Are you Catholic too?” She asked out of curiosity, but as Jason went on with the story, she felt bad her asking the question, it seemed rude. “I’m sorry, man… That has to be tough…” She didn’t have a story like that, she still had her parents, she had her gramps, and she had her adopted sister; who she hated. “The only family member that was close to me that I have lost was my Grams… So I guess I really don’t know what it feels like to be totally in your shoes.” She wished she could understand how he felt a little better than she did now.


The mood had lighten up some, once they were about to sneak Jim in the house. “Oh shut up… My gramps really doesn’t care… At least I don’t think he does..” She never asked, and didn’t really want to find out the hard way, and she didn’t think he knew, maybe he did. That was an interesting thought. Kamillia climbed through the window while Jason picked up the pup. “Yeah, I think…” She moved to grab him, making sure to soften the dog’s landing, in the end Jim ended up in her room just fine. “okay!” She petted Jim’s head, the other dogs were used to new dogs arriving so they all should be fine. Kam climbed back out the window, and closed it. “Alright! Thanks!”

[Jason Prowler]

“I don’t think it’s a bad thing, getting in trouble that is.” He said with a mischievous smile. “I’m glad to know you think I’m decent, I woulda took amazing guy but I’ll settle. Jason joked with Kam. “That’s great that you visit, I’m a little jealous I would love to go back. The fresh clean air, the beautiful scenery, definitely one of my top favorite places I’ve been to. Do you speak fluent German?” he asked with curiosity.

Jason did trust Kam, it was mostly from what he saw earlier with Jim. Anyone who had so much compassion towards animals had to have had a huge heart. It was adorable the way she melted in front of that puppy. “Make sure you get my good side.” He chuckled as he was enjoying the flirting going on between them. “Yeah, Roman Catholic actually. To be honest
I’m not really a diehard catholic though, I haven’t been to church in a while.” Jason listened as Kam tried to console him. “It’s cool yo, we gotta deal with the cards we’re delt. I’m sorry about you Grams but you know we keep them right here.” He pointed to the center of is chest. “As long as we keep them close to our heart their memory will always be alive.”

“You’re very welcome, all in a days work. You think Jim is going to like his new home?" ha asked. Jason looked around, “so which way to the club?”

[Kamillia Engel]

Kamillia laughed “Well, I don’t know you that well.” She sent him a smile. “Yes, I speak fluent German. I was born and raised there.” Her father was German, her mother was American, so Kamillia was technically half-German, but she saw herself as being full German; not because of her blood line, or family. But because Germany was her home country, and it will always be.

Being good with animals was sort of a given with her powers, but maybe she didn’t have to be an animal person just because of her power; she could have hated animals and yet still had the same power. She didn’t think it was a big deal. “Oh, I will. But I doubt you have a bad side.”


“I’m not really a diehard in any religion… My family on my father’s side is Jewish, and the family on my mother side is Christian… I don’t really have a side, but I do believe there’s a God, and I do believe in that God. But my faith isn’t deeper than that.” Kamillia smiled at Jason “Maybe your brother is alright…” Maybe that was false hope, and Kam didn’t really believe in giving yourself false hope, that just set yourself up for failure later in life. “thanks… I’m sorry about your brother..” She really didn’t know what else to say about this conversation, Kam didn’t do good with any sort of drama, especially sad ones… “You’re right.” She just kind of wished her gramps would find someone to love and to love him back again… That was what she really was worried about, her gramps being lonely.

“I’m sure he’ll love it. He has a bunch of playmates.” Kam smiled at Jason, pointing in the direction she started walking to. “This way.”
