Born With A Curse

Chapter 5.

After running all the way from the pub I thought I would have been tired by now but I don't feel tired at all. In fact I feel energised and pumped up. My heads a complete mess though, I don't know what came over me in that bar, I didn't even know I had that kind of strength. This whole situation is so messed up and at this point there's only one person I can turn to, McKenna.

In seconds I'm standing at her door knocking frantically. I'm not out of breath, I'm not tired and my heart rate feels normal. This whole situation is just freaking me out. The door swings open revealing McKenna standing there looking rather worried.

"Bree are you ok?" She asks and I shake my head throwing myself into her arms. "What's happened?"

"I don't know what's going on with me Kenna, I'm scared."

"Ok, ok. Calm down, let's go sit down and talk."

McKenna takes my hand and leads me up the stairs to her room. We shut the door behind us and take a seat on the bed. My head is racing with thoughts, mixed emotions and feelings I've never had before. Feelings of anger and hatred mixed with confusion.

"What's going on Bree?"

"I'm having all these mixed feelings but they're not like normal feelings it's like everything is more intense, like it's taking over my mind. Then earlier on I was out with Cole and."

"Wait whose Cole?"

"You know the guy from the football match?"

"Oh. What was you doing out with him?"

"He dropped my phone off, then we decided to hang out. Anyway I was hanging out with him at the bar, we got something to eat and when I went to get us both another drink some dicks at the bar tried hitting on me, I lost it, they wouldn't take no for an answer kept touching me and pushing their luck."

"What did you do Bree?"

"I hurt him, what does it matter what I did Kenna, I hurt someone and I shouldn't have. They were just stupid drunk guys at a bar and I hurt them," I explain getting myself all upset again.

"Hey, hey don't cry. It's ok."

"NO!" I say pushing her away from me as she tries to hug me, only I don't realise my own strength and end up sending McKenna flying across the room into her dresser.

McKenna clutches her head in pain as I stand in shock after seeing what I'd just done. Never would I intentionally hurt McKenna or anyone, I'm not like that, I'm not that kind of person, I collapse to my knees pulling at my hair, I have no idea what's come over me, all this anger and emotion.

"What's happening to me?" I cry into my hands. "Why is this happening?"

"Bree, Bree listen to me ok. You need to calm down," McKenna says as she crawls over to me, "Everything is going to be ok, I promise."

"You can't promise anything Kenna, you have no idea what I'm going through. I don't even know what's going on. My brain feels like it's on fire trying to figure out what's going on, where all these emotions are coming from, why I got so anger earlier," I explain partly how I feel.

"But it's ok. I'm here now and I'm going to help you figure out what's going on. This all started when you started your period right?" McKenna asks and I nod. "Well then we start there, we'll go on the web and search all your symptoms, the anger, emotions, your period and how intense it was, even all the weird smells you've been getting, we'll search everything and find out what's going on, ok?"

"Ok," I say breathlessly nodding my head vigorously. "We need to find out something, I need to know what's going on."

McKenna grabs her laptop from beside her bed and starts it up. Once it's loaded she brings up the internet tap and begins typing in all my symptoms into the Google search bar. I watch over her shoulder interested as to what's going to come up, a list of things show like;
