Via The Sorcerer.

Via The Sorcerer Chapter 1.

Chapter 1.The Portal.

It's eating me up.If I was a room the walls would be cracked and the everything would spill through.It would flood.It would kill.It would torture.It would hold people in its grip and take their final breath.I know it sounds crazy, but it's true.Within me,is something dark.Something wild.Something, powerful.It grows stronger day by day and consumes me more and more.It rushes through my veins more and more rapidly every day.It scares me,but how can you fear yourself?Because this 'thing' is no mystery, it is power and it is me.I am afraid of my own self.Olivia, or Via, is my name.

Today will be different,I say to myself,I will be able to contain it.I will not think about it , and all will be well.If I keep calm and keep a clear mind everything will be okay.It must be okay.
"Olivia hurry up!"Jill shouts,"You can't be late on your first day!"
Jills been taking care of me since the incident.I didn't mean for it to happen.It was an accident.Thinking about it makes me want to crawl into a deep,isolated,dark hole and desacate.The painful screams begging for the pain to stop,begging for someone to end the pain, even if it meant death.My bedside table begins to shake,the glass cup on top of it begins to crack.Crack.Crack.Bang!The glass cup explodes,shattered pieces flying through the air.Calm down Olivia,I think to myself.It must be okay.It be will okay.Suddenly, calm.I breathe,if I just don't think about it I will be okay.The tear in my eye travels down my face.I wipe it away, that'll be the last time I cry about it.It wasn't my fault.
My door is flung open,it startles me and I jump,slightly.It's just Jill.
"Hurry up!"Jill demands, irritated,"We need to get going."
"I'm coming.''My voice is shaky and I do not need Jill to ring the school mentor to check in or whatever, 'cause their check-ins are hardly check-ins.All they do is try to pry into your life then make it this whole thing,in my opinion anyway.I grab my worn down,old satchel and check I have all of my stationary,books and my planner.
When I rise up I see Jill staring at the floor.At first, I wonder what she's staring at then it hits me, the shattered glass.
"I dropped a cup."I say a little too fast and eager.
"I thought I heard something,"
She looks suspicious but I don't want to say something and make her more suspicious.
"Can we go now?"I ask, trying once again to try to hide the shake in my voice.
"Yes lets,"
I start to follow her down the stairs, as we get near the door Jill suddenly asks "You did have something to eat right?"
"Yes,"I lie,I just want this day to end.

As we pull into the school parking space, I see people laughing with their friends.They're happy.They don't have power pulsing through their veins, consuming them.Going through the burning sensation of real pain everyday.
"They have it all them kids.",I say, spitefully.
"You know you could try and make friends."
"Definitely not,"
"Well what are you supposed to do?"
My eyes roll.Is she really doing this again?
"You just gonna stay quiet in the corner?I see you suffering and you won't talk to me so make a friend who you can talk to!"She snaps.
I am so sick of this.If I let anyone get close to me I will hurt them.I mean I couldn't even stop myself from hurting the closest people who were in my life, let alone other people.Even if it was my choice I wouldn't be living with Jill, I wouldn't be living with anyone.
"Can we just . . . not?"
"I know you think what happened was your fault but it wasn't."Jill is suddenly speaking to me with a soft,kind voice."You need to let people back into your life Via, you can't carry on alone."
I stare out the car window while listening to her voice.She shouldn't try to break through and get closer with me, who knows what will happen.I open the door and quietly barely say "Bye.",and walk away.

My highschool is dull and lifeless.The school is small and the walls are a dark,dusty grey.As I'm walking in I hear whispers and cackling,mean laughs behind me.I'm about to turn then . . . THUMP!
I grunt.That really hurt, especially since I haven't eaten.
"Are you serious?"I stare at Tiffany,Brittany and Katie."First day and you're already tripping me up?"
They laugh!"Hahaha".
"What do you expect?"Tiffany starts,
"You had a free pass last term because of your little tragedy but now we can see you're all better,"Brittany follows, an evil look on her face.
"If you ask me were just making up for lost time."Katie finishes, crouching down looking at me dead in the eye.Honestly, It's gonna be really hard to keep calm when their at it again.I hate them don't get me wrong, but once I start to hurt someone,or something, I cannot stop.Katie is by far the worst.She and I are alike in a way, we both can't control ourselves, and never know how to stop.
"See ya later ginge, it's going to be a fun year" Katie adds, before she and her crew walks away.

History class is hell.On top of learning about the salem witches - and feeling all eyes on me - Tiffany,Brittany and Katie are sniggering and shrieking to themselves as they throw pencils and paper at me.It's so funny how they really think that everything they do affects me, even the pain of pencils clashing against my bare skin, the pain of the sharp paper cutting through me, is nothing compared to what I go through every single day, of every hour,minute and second , every day of my amazing wonderful life.Suddenly, I hear Tiffany,Brittany and Katie whisper and snigger once again, although, it's different they have a different tone in their voices, one i'm unfamiliar with. Something tells me something is lurking, and it's getting ready to pounce.I feel something bang against my back.I feel it again.Bang.Bang.Bang.I turn."Katie, I know your bored but why don't you do something better than kick my back in in lesson?"I stare her dead in the eye and try my best to scare something into her, send a shiver down her spine, anything that will teach this bitch lesson.For a second, she turns serious like something crawled up her back and makes her sit straight. "Or what?What are you going to do ginge,huh?"She
laughs,I turn.Bang.Bang.Bang.I clench my fist so tight my knuckles are white.Keep calm.Keep calm.My table begins to shake, then the other tables join. Not here.Please not here.The class begins to mutter as soon enough the full school is shaking, I can no longer control myself.The lights fall, everything is dark.My eyes begin to burn.My veins begin to bulge out my skin and pulse to the top.A storm starts to brew outside and starts heading towards the school,or is it heading towards me like a magnet?Screams start coming from all directions, down the hallway,up the stairs,the classroom.
"Oh my god!"Shouts Tiffany,in shock.
"The freak,she's glowing!"Brittany follows,in fear.
"It's her,Olivia is doing all of this!"Katie finishes,in horror.
My eyes are now open, but everything is blinding.Without warning,a strong force forces me up into the air.My body feels as if something is stretching it out.I turn to face the storm.With every inch of my body I force the storm to stop in its place.I screech so loud the walls of my school start to crack.My eyes are bulging so hard blood begins to drop form every open area of my body,eyes,ears,nose.I wish I could stop this.All these people looking at me in horror as if i'm a monster who they haven't been in the same class with for years.God,even Tiffany,Brittany and Katie even look scared of me.I turn around and face my classmates.They shriek and cry for help.Unable to stop myself,I begin to squeal so deafening my classmates start to cry in pain, as they do my pain begins to fade away, am I giving it to them?Are they feeling the burn?Can they survive it?The walls continuously crack down to the floor and a green liquid surfaces out in between them and separates the floors walls apart.I stare down into the thick,spinning threshold.The force holding me up drops,I fall, the floor closes over me and I continue to fall.It gets darker,then nothing.A vacuum.A void.Where am I?And what have I done?
