People Think I'm a normal girl with an average name and an average life but really I am much more than that.

My name is Ivy Turner and I am Gifted.

My gift is literally making dreams come true. Whatever I dream at night will come true, whether it is good or bad it will come true. So if I had a nightmare you'd think I'd be scared but no, I'm always prepared for whatever I dream. The only people that know about my 'gift' is my mom and my best friend Kayleigh. Kayleigh is like family to me, like a sister, my mom is like her second mom. I am an only child since my mom A. Cannot, afford another child and B. She's not married to my dad anymore and she doesn't socialise;so she doesn't have a boyfriend.

Me and my mom live in a small two bedroom apartment in Ontario which is a part of Canada. Yeah that's right your thinking ' Justin Bieber comes From Canada' well I don't care I'm not a fan even though I have seen him around and met him a few times. People say 'Oh my god you're so Lucky Ivy, you met Justin'. They think I'm lucky, Justin Bieber is the least of my worries. Being lucky is the last thing I'd say about myself, I am cursed; this gift is a curse. Me and my mom moved to Canada five years ago when I was ten years old because things between my mom and her ex boyfriend weren't going well. His name was Jason, he used to beat my mom up and he used to make me clean he whole house by myself and if I even left the littlest spec of dust he would beat me with a baseball bat. A day before my tenth birthday my mom had the courage to call the police when he was out drinking with his friends. The police arrived while he stepped through the door and arrested him on suspicion of Domestic abuse and GBH(grievous bodily harm). His last words to use were" when I get out of jail you are gonna be sorry".

Obviously my mom had to go court make a statement, we won the case and he got a stretch of five years which wasn't what me and my mom were hoping for. Had been in prison for less than a week when my mom said we were packing up and moving to Canada to make a fresh start. I was heartbroken, I didn't want to leave all my friends back in London but I had to. I had to do it for mom. I started crying as we got on the plane to Ontario but I was staying strong for me and my mom.

I still remember the abuse Jason gave me and my mum very clearly and his last words to us. My mom got a letter this morning all the way from the prison that locked up Jason saying he was going to be released on January 19th which was next week. My mom broke down in tears and of course I comforted her.

The next day I called round at Kayleigh's house so we could walk to school together. She seemed her natural ,bubbly self . I had a very bad nightmare last night. I dreamt that Jason came and found out where me and my mom lived. I am petrified because I know that because of my gift that it will come true. But I'll try and keep strong and try not to let it bug me.

Authors note: I'll write more tomorrow because

I'm tired lol
