Inspection Day (On Hold)

Chapter 6

            
Blackness covered every corner.

I tried to make out my surrounding but everything was just too dark. From the corner of my eye a white light started to appear. I turned to it squinting trying to make out what it was. The light was increasing I could start to feel the heat coming off of it. I started to think of the "the white light" religious people are always speaking of but I had no feeling of calmness something was just telling me to run. I turned starting to run in the opposite direction of it, the gravity was holding my feet to the ground made it difficult to run.it felt as if running in quick sand as I tried to pump my legs. The heat from the light started to increase making it sting. I yelled for help but it was pure emptiness.

The light reached my arms making the pain worsen and unable to move. I looked down and notice weird symbols were starting to engrave in my skin, everywhere the light touched.

Symbols were going in every direction of my body and the light was starting to reach up my neck. The air was getting thinner, my feet lifted off the ground, my body turned horizontal. I was beyond freaked out, so much was going on. I was gasping for air when I felt the pain come up to my chin.

My eyes focus above me, two pairs of eyes were staring back at me. I looked closer noticing it was me looking back at me. My normal brown eyes were now glowing a shade of purple. It beaming into my soul, reading the pattern of the symbols.
           
The heat was now past the tip of my nose, I could see the purple in my eyes brightening. My hair started to turn pure white not leaving a piece of brown in sight. My body turned up to a standing motion. The heat and symbol reached my whole entire body, the symbols were glowing purple. The darkness of the room started to turn white.

I was unable to do anything to save myself. In a blink of an eye a burst of white came from nowhere blinding me.

I shot up gasping for air my body covered in a layer of cold sweat, replaying my dream over and over in my head.

I glanced down to my body no sight of symbols were on my body, although the heat was still there. I looked to my right seeing Miranda sound asleep.

My eyes moved to the lake in front of us, the sun was just starting to come up. I got up slowly, my legs were sore but I wanted a dip in the lake so I ignored the pains shooting up my leg.

Reaching the lake I started to strip, not wanting my clothes to get wet. My toes touched the water causing a moan to leave my lips. I walked my body all the way in loving the way the cool water was making the heat disappear. I pushed my hair back into the water letting calmness wrap my body like a blanket. Not keeping track of anytime, I was enjoying the moment.

"Steph!!!" I heard coming from the direction of the woods. 

I swam back to the shore letting my body air dry since I didn't have a towel. Sliding on my underwear on, then my shorts I started to walk back. Putting on my shirt at the same time to shorten time.

I spotted her looking in her bag, I guess looking for something to eat.

"Hey Miranda" I spoke gleefully.

She turned around facing me.

"Heee---whoa..." She replied back staring at me with wide eyes. I looked at her confused wanting to know why she was looking at me like that.

"What's wrong?" I asked with concern in my voice.

"Your hair and...eyes." She spoke slowly her eyes filled with shock.

"What...about it...?" I started to think of the dream, a chill went up my spine, already knowing what she was going to say.

"Your hair is white...a-a-a-nd  your eyes are purple...I never seen this before."
