random

The words itched on my tongue, I wanted to spit them out in his face. I felt power begin to grow naturally making its way down to my hands. I fought the urge to release it, despite the rage that boiled inside me, he deserves it my body screamed, it was right but i couldn't. i had made a promise one that i would keep. Swallowing my pride and rage I turned away from him and ran into the woods running as far as my legs would carry me, the power inside me twisted and grew fueling itself on my rage and shame that now was inside me. I needed to get as far away as possible before i released it. There was to much energy to snuff out. I pushed farther into the woods, keep going i told myself. I stopped running after i came to a clear meadow. The power was almost unbearable now and i grunted falling to my knees wrapping my arms around my waist. as I tried to focus the energy into a command, i was about to make one when I heard a voice behind me " Angel?" I turned around to see Jasper standing there. Crap. This wasn't good. He must have read the pain in my expression because he began approaching me. " Stay back!" I warned through gritted teeth. I looked around desperately where could the energy go? " Angel, let me help you," His voice was calm now like trying to get a small child to listen to him. That did it I was so sick of being treated like that.  " I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE!" And then i couldn't contain it. The power escaped me in what felt like a sonic boom. I fell to my hands, gasping. My limbs ached all screaming in pain. I looked up through blurry eyes to see the ground had split between me and Jasper. it ran deep wide, making passing it impossible for several miles.Jasper seemed to be okay except for the shock in his eyes " I, I'm sorry." I gasped out. my words seemed to bring him out of his shocked state. " Are you alright?" he called walking as close to the crack as he dared. I wanted to say yes but was to tired ti make my lips form the words.. Jasper was safe, i hadn't hurt him that was enough for me. Ignoring the situation around me i gently fell to the ground and despite Jasper's frantic calling i sunk deep into unconsciousness.

beginning

Voices. They're everywhere screaming over one another in my head. I stumble through the dying grass of the forest gripping my head as the voices swim in my head shouting, whispering screaming they talk over each other making it impossible to understand any of them. I fall to my knees as images begin flashing in my mind filling my vision. I don't understand any of them, don't know any of them. they flicker and dance in front of me taunting me. I scream as it becomes to much and my skull fills like it will burst if the voices don't stop. i grab my hands, " stop, stop, stop!" I feel the words escape my lips but the sound is lost in the other voices drowning it out. The pain grows and i feel myself about to burst when a huge wave of ringing fills my ears, drowning out the voices, the images with its glaring sound. Then its over. The ringings gone and so are the voices. I open my eyes and collapse face first on the ground my breath coming out in short gasps, sweat drips down my face as I gulp for air. I'm hot, my entire body feeling like a furnace. I feel hands on my back, i have no idea who they belong to and even as alarm bells go off in my mind I'm powerless to stop them. Besides the hands are cool, and there iciness goes through my shirt cooling down my overheated body. Finally fighting the overwhelming exhaustion that threatened to drag me out of this world I shift sightly so that I'm now facing the being that the hands belong to. Its a man something tells me hes 17 although I don't know what. His hands are at his sides glowing slightly blue, I look back up at his face, see his chocolate covered skin and feel a nagging at my brain, like an itch i can't scratch as I look at his dark eyes the itch becomes stronger. I know this person I know i do, so why couldn't remember him? looking at him I realize his lips are moving but no sound reaches my ears and i realize that i still cant hear anything. I put my hands to my ear as if it will somehow magically decide to start hearing again, and encounter something sticky. Sticky and wet. With a growing nausea I pull my hand down and see that it covered in blood.  Its to much, I'm overwhelmed by everything and feel exhaustion finally winning and as it pulls me out of consciousness I don't fight it. I just let it pull me in the dark where things made better sense

 ( letter from soldier after participating in slaughtering Japanese civilians)

I see them, when I sleep. There faces swim behind my eyelids, the worst is the mothers. They're fragile arms stretched out behind them, trying to shelter there children from the monster that will take away there entire world, me. They were always so determined, there eyes burning with it. The first couple of times i thought they could do it, that somehow sacrificing themselves for there children would be enough to save the kids,  but there body's always fall, just like the rest. Collapsing to the floor in a useless heap of flesh, you can see there souls leaving, just looking at there eyes. I watch as there eyes lose that fierce motherly instinct that drove them for so long. replaced by an unfocused uncaring glaze. The worst part is the kids. Looking down at there mother, tears streaming  down there faces as they're horror struck gaze fixated on me. And I know I've become the monster as i fill there mouths with a round of bullets. They fall, just like there mother. The only thing proving they ever existed is there faces that I know will haunt me to the grave. It doesn't matter how many of those people i killed that day. It never changes, feeling my entire being grow cold and my stomach twisting in seeming-less endless knots. I was just following orders. That sentence followed all of us soldiers that day, it was mumbled under there breaths as if that one phrase could undo our acts. I always dreamed of entering the army. Of fighting for my country, of being a war hero. I imagined taking down the "bad guys".  I can't help wondering if our side is the right side anymore, I thought we stood for freedom, liberty, justice. But as I looked at the dead corpses around me I can't find anything patriotic, or just about it. Innocent people, I slaughtered them. I may have been following my orders but I cant help but think that the price of serving my country that day was condemning my soul to hell.

short story


Alarm ringing, daylight streaming in, I sat up in my bed with a start.  Groggily I turned my alarm off and rubbed my eyes.  I got up  slowly stumbling through my room finding clothes to wear, and made my way into the bathroom. That was about the time the rest of the house woke up. I heard Amy and Bill were in the other room fighting about something, I had long since stopped trying to figure out what they argued about.  But still as far as foster homes go it could be worse,  at least here I barley had to talk to anyone, we had a mutual understanding, they fostered me for the extra money, and I stayed out of there way and kept to myself using my job to get the money I needed for me. going into the bathroom in the hall, I brushed the tangle mess of brown that I called my hair. I looked in the mirror and didn’t like what I saw, it wasn’t that I didn’t look okay, it was just that I looked so, so plain, so boring. I reached into the drawer and pulled out my mascara, the only makeup I owned, and put it on. That was better. The black made my blue eyes stand out against my pale face.  Then I shoved down a bowl of cereal and was out the door.
 School. One of the many things I hated about California, so boring and full of girls in short skirts and high heels.  There were two things in this world that made school bearable, Cody and Jasper. They were my best friends, and my only ones.  It always amazed me that such different people could be friends, Jasper, with his blonde hair, blue eyes and golden tan, had all the girls falling head over hills for him from the moment he entered our school, everyone had tried to be his friend,  but he stuck with me and Cody.  I still couldn’t wrap my head around it; We had been friends since I had met him two weeks ago when he came into my class
It was my creative Writing class. About halfway through the class a student came in and naturally all the heads in the room turned around to see a kid slip through the door a note in his hand. Giggles went throughout the room and it was impossible for I not to see why. The boy was 6 feet of tan and muscle. His eyes  darted across the room until they locked with mine.  His expression changed, intensified somehow like he was looking for something in me. It only lasted for a couple of seconds until the teacher caught his attention and told him to take an empty seat, the on the other side of me.
From there it had a fast friendship, I found myself smiling as I entered the class that had become my favorite, creative writing. As I made my way through the room I saw Cody already there saving my seat on the front row right beside him. I looked around for a moment and felt disappointment when I realized Jasper wasn’t there. I turned my attention back to Cody taking in his pale skin and recently dyed black hair, and his green eyes hidden beneath the frame of his glasses. And of course his skinny as a weed structure, I had seen him eat a pizza entirely by himself, but where it went I could never figure out. I bit back a laugh as i realized he was wearing his blue sweatshirt. It didnt matter how hot it was outside you could always count on Cody wearing a sweatshirt, He always claimed that he was always cold but still, He really was the exact opposite of Jasper. He greeted me with a smile as I sat down beside him. Through the buzz of conversations going on before the bell rang he said, " Jasper's a no show?" 
" Looks like it." Cody nodded to himself,  " Well we havn't hung out in awhile, you want to go to the movies after you get off work?”   I debated, while I would have liked to go with Jasper as well me and Cody was right we hadn’t hung out together in a while. Making up my mind I said

“Sure. When do you want to meet at?”

“ Umm you’re house 9ish?” The bell rang and Mr. Brown started talking.

“ Sounds like a plan to me.”  I whispered to him, the rest of the day passed slowly, I went to work after school, which was working at the pet shop. I had to close that night Finally my shift was over. I looked at the clock it was already 9 a clock and the walk was going to take about 10 minutes. I felt bad about being late but knew that Cody would understand. 

I locked up and then stepped out the door a smile on my lips; it was ripped off my face as I felt the chill in the air. And the sky was black, it was only 9 but it was pitch black the only thing lighting the streets were the streetlights and the light of the full moon. With a shiver I hugged my arms to my chest. I made my way down the empty streets and couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong.

I kept turning back over my shoulder and I could’ve sworn a few times that something was there. I found myself walking quicker and quicker.  I had thought about getting a phone quite a few times but in the end it had always just seemed like a waste of money. Now I wished I had one. Especially because I now stood at the part where the road ended and opened up to a forest, a worn dirt path that led to my  house. I hurried my way up the trail being as quiet as I could, that’s when I heard it. A howl, that sent goosebumps racing up and down my arms. It sounded like nails on a chalkboard,  i turned around ang felt my jaw drop whatever this thing was it wasn't human wasn't even close to it. Its shape was humanoid tall at least 7 feet tall and thin its skin looked like a shadow, black all over. It had the shape of a face and a slit were a mouth should’ve been.  I could see just two Red glowing eyes something stood up from its back, a grayish color strait and pointy. The thing reached behind its back and pulled one of the pointy things out
Well that was enough for me, dirt turning shoes sliding, I sprinted away up the trail.
*Heart pounding in my chest I ran through the woods with the wail of the beast following close behind me. My breath came in short bursts as I ran. I cried out as something sharp embedded itself in my back.  I fell face first  into the ground from the force of the blow. I tried to get up, but  an icy coldness began to spread from where I’d been hit to the rest of my body, I couldn’t feel my legs. They were numb; my entire body remained immobile even as the thing came by me. I could see its massive black-clawed feet and I felt something wrap around my waist and then I was in the air being thrown over its shoulder. My vision began to blur in and out, I knew I should be scared but a lethargic haze entered my mind and made everything seem surreal and distant.  I looked in front of me through the blur and managed to see another beast the same as the last one carrying something in its arms, to me it just seemed like a huge blob that vaguely resembled a human wearing something blue with a huge growing red spot on it. Something told me that that was important but as my eyes began to drift shut I couldn’t remember what. I wanted to sleep but something kept scratching my mind keeping it in from slumber. It began to claw its way through the haze tearing away at it until it finally broke through. My eyes snapped open and the haze was gone I looked and I knew that Cody was there lying limply in the things arms, his chest covered in blood. “ NO!” I shouted kicking at my captor, “ Cody! Cody!” I shouted, the limp body didn’t respond. The beast stopped for a moment and I desperately tried to escape only to have another quill enter my back, i felt the numbness began to return into my body, I struggled against it trying in vain to quench it. Anger, panic and utter uselessness washed through me as the numbness began to take over, through the numb and cold, I felt it. I had no idea what it was but somthing was  ignited in me, it sparked something in my chest and I felt heat begin to bubble up and grow inside of me. It raced through my veins warming my cold limbs burning the coldness away. I felt another quill enter my back, and another and another but the heat took over them to and made them useless. The heat inside me spread everywhere it could go filling my whole body until there was nowhere else to full.  It began to build inside me, the pressure quickly taking over me until it was painful.  My vision began to flicker in and out black spots appeared in my vision as the pressure increased. I grunted from the pain and I looked at the creature holding Cody captive and with a burst of anger the heat burst.  There was a flash and an ear-shattering wail that filled the night, and then I was falling. I hit my back and gasped as the wind was knocked out of me. I heard voices around me, I opened my blurry eyes to see someone leaning over me, they were saying something, but my mind couldn’t focus on the words, it was still focused on Cody. Where was he? I tried to get up but two hands held me down. I turned my head looking for any sign of him.  But all I saw were flames. They were everywhere. My eyes darted around trying to find something to explain all of this. Suddenly Two cold hands touched my arms sucking any remaining heat out of me. I looked up to recognize Jasper leaning over me, I saw his lips move but the words never reached my ears. I tried to tell him that Cody was gone but couldn’t feel my lips. Everywhere was cold. So cold, I laid there limply as Jasper lifted me up in his arms, and in a world smothered in flames I drowned in the cold retreating to the only place that could offer relief for me, unconsciousness.

My eyes opened to bright light. I blinked several times trying to let them adjust. I looked around the dull grey walls of the room trying to make sense of where I was. It was a small room with a window, there was a dresser full of books. The room was clean save for a couple books spilled across the floor by the bed I was lying in.  I turned over to see myself face to face with Jasper. He wassitting in a chair next to the bed, He was looking at me, with those blue eyes. My head began to spin as I tried to figure out what was going on, " What the?" I began until suddenly the memories from the previous day came crashing through my head. " Cody!" I sat up in the bed and regretted it as a wave of nausea washed over me.

 " Take it easy," Jasper said, one of his arms on my shoulder pushing me back on the bed.

" Where is he? He's here right? Please tell me he's here."

" Cody?" Jasper's eyebrows came together in confusion. Suddenly he looked uneasy," Angel was Cody with you when the Reaper came?"

" Reaper? " I said confused, Jasper ran his hands through his hair,  " right, there’s so much you don't know. What do you remember?"

" I was walking home that thing attacked me, it shot me with a quill, then it started taking me away, I saw another one,” I paused as Jasper suddenly went pale, he got up and started pacing the ground looking at the floor for a moment. " It had him, it had Cody." He met my eyes again a grim expression on his face, " What else happened."

My voice went quiet as I forced the words out, " He was bleeding, and I was so worried I just snapped, I felt so angry and then the anger came out and then the forest was on fire and you were there and Cody was gone. " Jasper put his face in his hands, 
" This is really bad.”

“ He’s not here is he?” Jasper shook his head, which was still buried in his hands, “ We knew there was another one but we thought it came for you… We didn’t realize” I felt cold all over. 
“Whose we?” I asked. Jasper looked up from his hands looking me in the eyes. 
“ How did you know what a Reaper was? How did you know where I was? ”  Questions began bubbling off my lips. Panic began to rise in me. Cody wasn’t here, and I didn’t even know where here was.  I felt heat begin to rise in my chest again, ignited by my panic. It came with an ache like I was trying to move sore muscles, I gasped as the pain came through me.“ Angel?” Jasper was suddenly by my side, eyes looking for an injury, they finally came to rest back on my face “ Is it the fire?” I looked at him through the building pressure,  “ How did you know?” instead of answering, he suddenly brought his hand over mine. I looked down at it. They were cold as ice, and Jasper suddenly had a blue light dimly shinning around them, I felt a tingle go through out my body and the heat all went down to my hand and out into Jasper.. “ How did you do that?” I whispered. Jasper stepped back putting his hands in the air “ Look I’ll explain, just calm down okay?” Jasper eased himself into the chair and began talking.

“ Okay this is all going to sound crazy but please just listen.” He leaned his head back gazing at the ceiling. “ Where to begin? You’re questions okay, well I am Jasper Lockheart and we are currently in Jacks house. He was there when the Reaper attacked you by the way, he’s the one who put the flames out.” He stopped for a moment his eyebrows creased together again, “ Okay for the other questions I'm going to have to tell you a story, see I’m not from here. There’s a place on earth and its called Lytheria it exists New York and in there everyone has magic. they can control a certain element, like how I made you cool down just now and how you set the Reaper and the forest on fire. “ He looked at me, I’m sure I had skepticism written on my face, I opened my mouth but he raced on, “no one knows about it because well when normal people walk through it well its like the go right through it to the other side. Like instead of going in they just get transported to the other side of the barrier.”

“ That’s not possi,” I began but Jasper cut me off,

“ Let me finish. See there’s a reason this can happen.  The reason we have magic is because there are these orbs see, and there’s one from every element, Fire, Water, Earth, and air.  And they’re all hidden in Lytheria and according to legend, the orbs are what allow the walls to stay up. They also allow each person in Lytheria to control a certain element. And if someone gets the orb and manages to break it then they can control the element inside completely and everyone who could control over that element in Lytheria can’t use that element anymore.” Jasper paused and spoke the next words very slowly, “ Unless you are one of the 5 guardians.  They’re like the orbs. Each person can control a single element but the power over the element is much greater than what everyone elses is.”

"What’s any of this have to do with me?” I finally burst out, when I couldn’t take it anymore. Jasper looked at me in surprise,

“ Angel one of the orbs was stolen a month ago. It was the one that controls fire.”

“ And?” Jasper ran his hands through his hair yet again, “ And the guardian of the element is you. “ I stared at him dumbly trying to make sense of everything he was saying, “ Angel when the Reaper came for you, you got upset right? The fire bubbled in your chest and you set the forest on fire.” I lay down against the pillow trying to absorb that, so many questions danced in my mind but i shoved them back s  I had to focus on the main problem.

“ Why did they come for me?” I said from closed eyelids,

“ Pyro, um the guy who stole the fire orb sent them,”

“ Why?”

“ What do you mean?”  I sat up staring at him, “ I mean why does he want me? I get it I'm the only person who can still use fire but why would this Pyro guy care?”

“ Because to break the orb he has to fill it to the point where it would explode, he needs you to put your power in it. He can’t do anything until he has you.” I felt a cold feeling creep up my chest, “ Cody.” I said in a hoarse voice, “ He has Cody, they’re going to use him for leverage aren’t they?” Jasper nodded his head, “Jasper what will they do him?”*Suddenly flashes of scenarios flashed before my eyes with Cody and not one of them ended well Heat bloomed in chest once again and began spreading like a wildfire
“ Hey! Angel calm down!”  Once again  Jasper touched me and the flames were ripped away.
“ Look they won’t do anything to him, He’ll just use him to get you to come to him.”
" He was already bleeding when they had him! he could be dead by now!"
" No Angel listen. Reapers don't hurt people, they inject them with there quills, there full of a substance that makes you immobile and pretty much useless. They dont hurt anyone, not badly. Besides Jasper has to be alive otherwise he wont have any leverage over you."

“ we have to go get him!” I swung my legs off the bed and stood up quickly, to quickly. My body felt sore and didn’t want to be used; I stumbled and Jasper was suddenly there trying to steady me, “ we can’t do anything right now! We don’t even know where he is!”   I pulled away from him, “Well we can’t just sit here!”  I shouted at him, I pushed passed him and made my way to the door Jaspers hand came down on my shoulder and turned me around, “ Look you’re still hurt you got hit with a lot of the Reapers quills, you’re still recovering. Just wait until Jack comes back he’ll know what to do he’s talking to the elders right now.”

“ Well then we should be apart of the conversation!” I said defiantly. I turned to the door when suddenly a man burst through the door. “ Speak of the devil,” Jasper mumbled, behind me as I looked at the man in front of me was older his hair obviously balding. He wore a trench coat, which was soaked through with water. He held a cup in his hand; he stood there in the door awkwardly looking from me to Jasper and then cleared his throat.

“ Well hello there its nice to meet you I’m jack.  Oh and Here,” he handed me the cup which seemed to have some sort of green liquid inside. “ It’ll make you feel better.”

:” Um thanks,” I said. I sniffed the drink suspiciously it smelled alright so I took a sip and was immediately felt the ache of my muscles begin to subside, I begun to drink more of it and Jack began to talk Jasper “ We need to talk.” Jack’s eyes kept darting back forth form me “ alone.”  Jasper got out of his chair and went through the door Jack following behind him.  Jack paused at the door“ We’ll just be a minute,” Jack said and closed behind him.   So I was just supposed to sit here while they talk?  I quietly made my way the door and opened it a creek and listened,

“ How is she?"
" All things considered she's taking it okay, did the elders find Pyro?" I leaned into the door holding my breath
" No. They haven’t found any luck he didn't leave a whole lot of things behind that could be track and since the reaper died..." his voice trailed off,
" There was another one." Jasper stated in a matter o fact.
" What”
" It left before we knew it wad there, apparently it also took one of Angels friends."
"Oh no. "
" Jack, to track something it has to be close to them right? Has to have been in there presence? "
Jack was nodding to himself
" Yeah the closer the connection the easier it is to track why?"
" Because angel let loose her energy it was uncontrolled it went everywhere I mean the whole forest Went up in flames,"
" Jasper I don't see where you're going with this"
" Just listen, what if angel hot the reaper when it happened? Couldn’t it have absorbed some if her energy? And if it did”
" We could use angel to track it." Jack finished. " It wouldn’t take much, She’d just have to use her powers and concentrate The elders have to know about this, We’ll have to figure out a way for her to help us without bringing her with us.” What were they talking about?
“What?” I heard Jaspers voice rise,
“ Well come on, Pyro wants her the only way to keep him from breaking the orb is to keep her away.”  There was a silence following his words.
“It makes sense. To keep her here, she’ll be safe.”
“ Okay look I have to go tell the elders, keep her here.” The words felt like a dagger to my heart. I pulled away from the door not wanting to hear anymore of the conversation.“ I had trusted Jasper; I thought he was my friend. Tears threatened to surface but I angrily shoved them back.  I heard the door open behind me followed by Jaspers voice, “ Angel?” I felt my muscles lock and tighten; the now familiar heat began to rise and bubble up in my chest as I turned around to face Jasper. I glared not being able to help myself, But Jasper didn’t even look at me he was to busy grabbing random things off shelves. He opened a drawer pulling out some clothes and threw them at me. “ There’s a bathroom through the door at the end of the hall hurry and change.” I couldn’t stand another second, one minute I was watching Jasper and the next I was punching him in the jaw. Jasper stumbled back, his face lighting up in surprise as he gripped his jaw.
“ How could you do that?” I screamed at him, “ How could you agree to leave me behind” Jasper drew his hand away from his jaw
“ So you heard me and Jack talking Hugh?” His voice was calm and patient like he was talking to a child. The fire in my chest raged inside me. I raised my hand to slap him again, “ wait. Don’t hit me again. I was lucky you weren’t charged up before but if you hit me now you’ll set me on fire. I know you’re angry so please just let me explain and if you want to punch me I promise I won’t stop you.” I stood there my hand slowly falling down. I knew he was right. I could feel the power inside like a nuclear reactor ready to blow. Trying to at least cork my anger I took a deep breath. Jasper took this as his cue and began to talk very quickly, “ Yes I know what I said to Jack. And I meant it. You would be safer here. And part of me wants to keep you here were nothing can happen to you but I know you cant just sit around and twiddle your thumbs while we go and try to save your best friend.” His eyes shifted to the ground and his voice broke in the next sentence, “ I know you think it was all an act but I really did become you and Cody’s friend. And we can’t wait around for the elders to make a decision. We have to leave here before Jack comes back,” He brought his eyes back up to mine, they were full of pleading. “ I’m telling the truth I swear.” I stood there as slowly the anger began to trickle out.
“ I believe you.” Jasper let out a breath that I hadn’t realized he was holding,
Okay so can you please go change so that we can get out of here before anyone stops us?” I hurried and changed out of my dirt encrusted clothes and came in to see Jasper with two very large bags on the bed, “ That should do it,” he mumbled to himself “ Good, now for the other part, I need you to do a tracking spell.”
“How?” I suddenly felt nervous. “ Look it’s easy, just close your eyes” He waited while I complied, then he spoke his voice almost a whisper, “ Slow your breathing, and relax. Okay now I need you to think about yourself, about what makes you who you are.” I searched my mind trying to find what made me. But it was hard like trying to find to find a needle in a haystack. But I kept searching and I found something. Not quite the needle I was looking for but a piece of it I kept searching until I found all of them. “ I got it,” I muttered to Jasper, “ Good, okay now focus on what you want and why you want it”. Images of Cody flashed through my mind. Him talking about world of war craft, his smile that seemed to warm the room. I was so lost in my memories I barley heard Jasper speak, “ Now find him.” I went through all the memories each one filling me with more of Cody, “ Find him.” The voice said again, now the memories took me deeper pulling me to Cody. I felt like I was being pulled across space to him. Then it was over I came to a stop and bright golden light filled my mind and my eyes flew to see Jasper smiling at me. “ You did it.” The light still burned in my head and I blinked a few times trying to get rid of it. It took me a moment to realize that my hand was glowing, bathed in the golden light. On the back of my right palmed a glowing arrow was illuminated, pointing the way to Cody.  Jasper took my hand and taking the backpacks opened the door away from the safe haven id been trapped in and to Cody.

Chracater

Where do i live? what are my goals desires? What was this? A get to know you sheet, more like a stalkers dream paper. I looked back to the paper. name, well that was simple enough, Angel Starlight age 16, but really who needs to know where i live? Smiling i filled out the sheet, 456 east yellow brick road, city: Narnia, middle earth. my goals and desires. Travel? man i just want to get out of here, i glanced down at my bracelet the charms glittering up at me, shinning. The one in particular was a crystal heart. I felt my throat tighten as the memory surfaced,white walls, the smell of cleansers and sanitizer in the air. And my mom lying in that stupid bed, white sheets, white everywhere. Especially her, her hands were like a ghosts, cold and pale, Her grey eyes met mine with a smile. she had reached over and pulled the bracelet she had always worn, a charm bracelet, " so i never forget all the adventures." It had been full of all kinds of crazy things. My favorite had always been the bubble gum wrapper. she would never tell me what it was for, but every time i asked there was always a sneaky smile on her face. It was in that hospital that she handed me the box, it was purple unlike everything else in the room, she handed it to me with shaking fingers putting it in my hands. " For your adventures." she had said. Inside was a charm bracelet completely bare save a heart crystal in the center. " it was your fathers." tears had started dripping down my face then. " She looked into my eyes, the same smile on her face. " Please be happy." she had whispered shutting her eyes. Those eyes that held so much excitement such love... They never opened again. She left, taking my heart with her. " Angel?" My head snapped up, to see Mr. Jones in front of my desk, discomfort in plain on his face, " Are you alright?" it took me a minute to realize to realize a tear had rolled down my cheek. I felt everyone's eyes on me. My cheeks flooded with color, anger rolled through me. why couldn't he have just stayed at his desk and spared me this? thinking fast i said, "yeah yeah my contacts making my eyes water." Tue teacher stood there awkwardly for a moment trying to figure out what to say. " can I go wash it out?" I say, anything to get out of this classroom. " yes, " then taking control of the situation looked t his watch, " there's only five minutes left you might as well just take your stuff." ignoring the starters Boeing Into me I quickly threw everything into my backpack and left the classroom, but just before the door shut I heard the whispers behind me, all of them etching themselves into my mind " she was totally crying." " did you see her she just stared off into space?" " what's wrong with her." " did someone die?" I made my way down the halls and quietly slipping into the bathroom unsure of where else go. To my relief no one was in there. I looked at myself in the mirror skeptically trying to see any signs of redness or puffiness. My eyes still were the same hazel green. they weren't bloodshot. No evidence of what pain had just moved through me, none at all. And that sent another huge was of pain crashing through me, tightening my throat.there was no mark no proof that she had ever felt her anguish. They was nothing. Nothing qt all. I had to get out of here. With these walls pressing in on me I had to leave to get ro the one place I felt I could be truly alone, the trees. They had always been my comforters but even looking outside the window, and seeing the old tree spiraling high into the sky I knew I couldn't. School was almost out an besides I couldn't sit on there property and be myself. I had to be someone no one could follow a place no one knew. I shoved my hand fin my pocket waiting for the familiar jingle of keys but instead pulled up a balled piece of paper. I started it unfolding it's distorted shape. It was the paper I had jut started writing. I glanced down ay the falls and dreams. I stated at it with a new frown annoyance. And then in my fit of rage tore it up and through it was. Just Ike my mother, my dreams had does with her

Just so you know...

just thought i should explain my posts a little. As I've been reading other peoples i see that a lot of them are what the blogger themselves think about the topic were supposed to type about. Well in case any of you are confused mine are usually  just little scenes that I have thought about that would go with what we are supposed to write that week. They are totally random and none of them have anything to do with one another so but thats just the way i write.

Devil, Evil, Monster. My whole life the same whispered words following me wherever i go. Its not my fault. I was born like this, it could be one of them if fate hadn't cursed this with me. Theres a beast, a monster sleeping inside me. I can feel it, its always there. proof of it rests on my head. Two black horns on my head, I was a faire with horns on my head. At one point i tried cutting them off, turns out they have just as many nerves as any other part of my body, maybe more. But I did it anyway, the result, Having to endure the pain of them growing back slowly like a broken bone. I don't know who my parents are. They moment they saw my horns my dad ran out the door and mother killed herself believing that she had upset the gods in some way and that this was her punishment. I wasn't supposed to know about that. The older fairies who look after the young ones always said, with a sad smile that my parents had an accident. it was always like that. False smiles that disappeared the moment i was out of sight. And of course i heard the whispering. Another great part of having this thing inside of me i have animal senses. So i heard them,
" poor folks. They were such nice people."
" But can you blame them? If your child was, well that wouldn't you want to escape to?"
" Dont even talk about something like that!" at that point she had rubbed her bulging stomach with affection.
" They were lucky." the second one said, " at least they were able to get rid of that thing." I think that was the first time i snapped. The first time that i lost enough control over myself the beast woke up and took over me. The first thing i was aware of was the power racing through my veins warming my usual cold body. The next thing i was noticed was that i couldn't control my body. Then came the voice powerful and deep it overcame me. " there all monsters don't you see they deserve all of this." Then i watched as my teachers were lifted up into the air higher than id ever seen a faire fly before there body's trapped in a twirling mess of black and purple enclosing around them cutting off all my view but i heard them scream in pain and then it was over. the fairies were gone, no where to be seen. I felt the beast beginning to leave back to its slumber it took all the heat with it. I stumbled to my knees barley seeing the crowd of children screaming in panic, i heard the voice again this time not angry but still powerful, " I'll be back. "
" what did you do to them?" i had whispered
" They banished me to this world. Iv'e just returned the favor." then it was gone completely, along with all my strength. The last thing i remember was despair  filling my entire body as one of the kids screamed " what did you do?!" they hadn't seen the beast, all they saw was me. And thats when the whispers started.I heard them all they chased me into the only thing that could offer relief at this point. unconsciousness.
