Night Before The Change

Part 1- The Beginning??

Leaves were blowing off of trees some of differnet colors, some were a yellow color and others were a red color, then of course there was the dull brown, dead leaves. Nature was something that always amused me, especially during the fall season. Here I was looking out of my window with my golden blonde hair in a braid, I was gazing outside watching nature move around with my light blue eyes, along with my tan skin. My clothing was a regular days of clothing a white shirt, with a white vest over the shirt, the vest had a yellow outline to it. I also wore a black skirt that went to my knees.

I lived with a foster family, my actual parents abandoned me the moment they found out I was cursed with changing from a regular human form, to like a demon of some sorts. I still don't understand why they had to betray me like that, were they scared? Or just flat out not excepting for who I was? I had questions lingering in my head about the reason why my blooded parents would abandon me. I was born this way, so why leave me with a bunch of strangers? Mother, father, wherever you are know that I am thinking of you.

"Echoline! Are you awake?? It's 11:00 in the afternoon!"

"Yes Cassy I am awake, I'll be down in a few minutes!" I was partially lying when I said I would be down there in a few minutes, I haven't even gotten out of bed yet and I looked like shit. Eventually I rolled out of bed, and got myself showered, and dressed. I got downstairs as fast as possible, and there sat my foster mother, Cassy. "Echoline will you be home today? Or will you be out with your friends?"

"I'll be in and out today. Oh, Cassy you can just call me Echo, Echoline isn't as pretty in my opinion."

"Very well Echo. Just make sure your home for dinner tonight, your little sister will be home tonight." I nodded, as I grabbed my violet colored sweatshirt, and scarf, then ran out of the door.

I was actually excited to come home tonight, the moment Cassy said 'little sister' I knew who she was talking about right away. My 'little sister' was exactly like me! abounded, born cursed, and she even had the same hair color as me! the thought of her put a smile on my face. "Ey Echo we're over here!" I turned my head to the right, and saw the group of friends I hung out with. It was odd because my friends were acting strange, really strange... "Hey guys!" My friends stopped chuckling, and looked at me, the pale blonde was the first one to speak, "So Echo is it true you're one of those "cursed children?" How the hell did they figure that out?! Who would of told my secret? I haven't told anyone, except... "Merielle, can we talk for a minute?" Merielle was the female with dark hair, and brown eyes. "Yeah what is it?" I pulled Merielle aside to talk.

"Why did you tell the others?!" I was furious with Merielle my trusted best friend, just stabbed my back, and shot an arrow through my heart. "You expected someone like me to keep something like that a secret?! The legend said people who are cursed when born are descendants of a DemiGod!" I hid my face in my hoodie and hid the tears, this was the worst feeling I have ever felt. It hurt even more when I felt rocks hit my head, and nails scratching my skin. I had no other choice but to abandon my friends. Oh how much I hated the word Abandon... I eventually got a safe distance away from my "friends" Then I something struck me as I passed a shorter girl, with hip length black hair, electric purple eyes and a small, dark purple dragon on her shoulder. Whoa who was that? Do I know her? Why do I get this weird sense of trust from that girl?

I was sitting on my balcony , staring off into space at the approaching storm. The lightning strikes a nearby tree and it sparks a blazing fire. My black hair starts to flow with the breeze. I close my eyes and concentrate on the electricity in the air. I could start to feel some power be absorbed. I open my eyes and they were glowing purple. So I smile and go into my room.

I live with my pet dragon, Crylis. She can rest on my shoulder, but she can get pretty big outside, if I wanted her to. She was sitting on my desk, while scratching her wings.. But because she was doing that, she was shedding some shiny, black and purple scales. "I told you to not do that on my desk.. I got you a special box to do that on the balcony." I roll my eyes. I got changed, and took Crylis to the park. I see a girl walk past me, with her hood up and a scarf around her mouth, and I feel a weird connection that sends shivers down my spine.I turn around and look at her, but then spin back around and go to a huge weeping willow tree that I found as a little girl and I have Crylis grow into a huge dragon. I climb onto her back and we fly away. "She must have been a True-Born.. I need to know her." I say to myself as we fly over town. I start to get a bad feeling in my stomach that something bad is going to happen the next day.

THE NEXT DAY

I had woken up and gotten dressed inside my walk in closet. I had slipped on a white tank top, with a purple vest that had my family's symbol on it, which was a wolf's head, with a rose bush on bottom. The crest rested above my left breast. I had also put on a pair of black jeans and white shoes. I then leave Crylis in her room and I go to the park. "I need to stretch.. It's too cramped in this house." I think to myself, as I leave the house.
