Chapter 4 - Part 2

I flattened out the creases and gathered the couple of pages together. I read it slowly so I could take it all in.

'To my dear Alexandrite,

'As I am writing this it is your 3rd birthday. I knew this day would come, this day 5 months before your 17th birthday, and I thought I should tell you about what is happening, as I will already be gone.

'Starting now you are free to be any person you want to be, with no boundaries. This letter is to help keep you safe.

'There are many things in this world you do not know about, which live secretly from humans, these people are the 'Supernaturals'. There are many categories as no Supernatural is the same. The categories are on the next page and are explained in detail.

'This letter is also to tell you about your heritage. Your grand mother was a type of Mover, she could move things with her mind. Me, your father, I am a Seer - a psychic - I can see the future but only certain bits of it - mainly about my family or close friends. But my visions of you are very clear because you are not totally human either.

'You are a shifter. I don't know what kind or what you can or cant do but I do know the way you shift but I'm not going to tell you, I'm sure you will find it out by yourself.

'That's all you'll need to know for now. If you want to know any more you can send a letter to our old house in Brooks Way. I don't live there but I will still get the letters.

'All my love Dad'

I was frozen to the spot. Shock was running through my veins like electricity but I couldn't move. Not even to look at the next page. I almost fainted. Almost.

Then with the force of a gun shot I heard Chuck yell my name, I landed on my bed as if I had been shot. Still staring wide eyed at the page I managed to get my hands to move to the next page. And again I read slowly.

'The Supernaturals categorised:

'Undeads - Vampires, Witches, Zeetons.

'These feed off humans; These are the most uncivilised; They can come out in the sun but are genuinely very pale; They have special abilities of there own (these are unknown).

'Seers - Mind readers, Future seers, Aura seers.

'These try to avoid other people as they don't see what everyone else sees; These abilities often mess-up ones mind or hurt them mentally or physically.

'Shifters - Shape shifters, Were-wolves, Invisible people.

'These like to be around people, but often get into a lot of trouble; They usually have a lot of boundaries with their abilities and sometimes get hurt.

'Movers - Tellaporters, Mind Movers, Runners.

'The work of a mover is very taxing, they are often drained from what they do; These don't mind humans but do like to mess with them.

'Half's - These are crosses between categories; They only have half the ability of each; The Undeads don't tend to cross breed.

'Note: Most Supernaturals don't breed with humans but when they do the child is either completely a Supernatural or not (like how you and Chuck are so different)'

All I could think is: I'm dreaming. But I remember waking up. I sat there for a bit in that dream like state. Then as Chuck came in I jumped out of my skin like a crazy person. He didn't even notice all he said was: "Do you wanna lift or what?" I just nodded.

It felt like I floated into the car. And as I went past the window of the shop I work it I scared myself a little more. My reflection was awful. Gruesome. Ghastly. I was extremely white, my hair was a total mess and I genuinely look haggard. Great.
