The Golden Eyes

12. A New Power?

I sat in the living room, thinking. Both books in the coffee table in front of me. "I can't understand..." I frowned, looking through the pages in both books. This was all confusing, I was following instructions in one book, when suddenly another book appeared, now I didn't know what to do.

I turned to the first page in the second book, the one I just founded, and look through it. But just one sentence was written in it. "The first that was given to you, is not real." It said in handwritten. But there was something strange in it, it was slightly different from the letter in the other pages in the book, as if it was written in a hurry.

But what was the first thing that was given to me? Of what exactly? I don't know... and I don't know either if I could trust anyone else to ask this. Just think Blair, think... If it is the first thing, there should be more of that thing, right?... But what? The dagger can't be, I just have one. Some kind of message? A power? A book? A book... Of course... I have two books, and the first book was given to me by my mother. Does that mean all that I have read from it is a lie? But how will I know if the second book is the lie, that is trying to convince me the first one is false? I don't know!

My brain was filled with thoughts, it was all confusing! I don't know what to believe now! I hudled myself in a ball, my arms around my legs when I saw the others coming to the front door.

"Hey Blair, want to come?" Masky said turning to me. "Yeah! We're going killing!" Ben said suddenly. "Sure." I said closing the books. "I need something to clear up my mind for a moment." I grinned.

Everyone had gone killing to other places, normally to just random houses, specially Jeff that would appear randomly in someone's sleep and say "Go to sleep before killing them... but I remained in the forest nearby, walking around. I just left them behind, I wanted to think for a moment while they were doing something else. But also, I didn't felt like killing...

"But I don't understand, why would someone make a fake book? And which one is the fake one?" I said to myself. "It could be that-" Suddenly I heard voices coming from a few feet away from me. Quickly I ran behind a tree and tried to hide even if the tree wasn't wide enough. I saw from behind the tree and saw a girl and a boy talking but they were coming just in my direction. "I have to go." I thought desperatly, but as I tried to walk away I stepped on a branch, making a cracking noice. "Oh oh." I looked up but then closed my eyes. They surely heard that, but as silently as I could I sprinted away. They had probably have seen at least my shadow, but they couldn't see me here, if they see they would tell the police or something. "What was that?" I heard the girl say. I stopped when suddenly I started to feel something weird in my eyes. "Ugh, they must be changing color." I put my hands in my eyes. "Why is that?" I thought at the same time. I dropped my hands to the sides and turned around and saw the couple, the girl grabbing the boy's arm. But suddenly they turned to my direction, the glow must have attracted their attention. But I stayed there and the girl let out gasp. "Who are you?" The boy said, and by his expression I could tell he was trying not to be scared.

"Come on! Disappear now!" I thought to myself, I couldn't control my powers yet, but I had to try, I couldn't stay there any longer. As I tried the boy had started to walk towards me. "No." I thought, but before he could do anything I disappeared, appearing in the other direction where the girl was standing. But I wasn't human anymore (If I could say that about me) but a wolf. "Where did she go?" The girl said, her voice trembling.

I growled and the girl suddenly turned around letting out a small scream. The boy came running and took the girl's hand. "Let's go!" The boy said and they started running. But I couldn't let them, they would tell someone and- things won't go well for me. Why? Because people would start to go crazy and think I'm bad, even if at first they don't believe but... even if I'm destinied to be a creepypasta... I don't want people to think bad about me.

I started to chase them, the boy now the nearest to me. The girl screamed. I was starting to loose myself, as if it wasn't me who was chasing them. And I wanted blood. No- I came to reality, but I couldn't control myself, not anymore. It was like my soul was there but it was carried my someone else...

I couldn't stop, when suddenly I jumped into the boy making him fall and let go of the girl's hand. "Peter!" The girl screamed, her hands covering her mouth and her eyes wide. I growled to the boy, me in top of him. "Mia, run!" The boy screamed. But the girl, now Mia, didn't run. "I-I can't... leave you." She said her voice still trembling. But you have to run. My inner self though, but I couldn't do anything. Leave him, leave him, let him go. I thought but I won't do anything. I looked through the boy's eyes making him look, and at that moment I could feel some kind of power. "I'll show you how this works." I whispered through his mind. And I could understand that power now. No. The boy, Peter, looked straight at me, he was now under my control. "Yeah." Peter said. "W-what did you say?" Mia asked, scared. I stepped down from him and he stood up. "Go for her." I said again through his mind. No, don't go!. And he started to walk towards her. "P-peter?" She backed off. "What's happening to you?" Tears were running down her face. And I could see now that the boy had a red glow in his eyes. The girl started to run away and by the time she got out I just stayed back in the forest, but Peter kept going after her, his face blank.

"Help!" She screamed. For several minutes no one came and she just tried to go away. "Peter, I know you're still there... whatever happened to you." She got near him but Peter just took her arm and as Mia tried to get away from his grip a police came and tried to take him away. I couldn't hear what they were saying anymore and by the time the police have taken them, I had took away my control from the boy.

I could just feel bad for myself, even if I hadn't kill anyone...
