The Curse Of Five

Chapter 17

Now it was also at this time that another young girl who was expecting a young boy to be stillborn was leaving the witch's house.

Gale

"So what do we do when we're all together?" I ask. "We don't actually know..."Hazel answers my questions. "We don't even have a place to stay." Michael informs me. "Well i guess you're not leaving,and you are right about the whole money thing. so I guess you can stay in my biome." Amber tells the two strangers. She then uses her power to make the leaves above the biome thicker to cover the thorns.

"Thank you Amber." Hazel says pushing her chin length, black and purple hair out of her face. "Ryan take courtney home"I tell him"Oh and don't let her mom know what happened." He nods and walks away. Amber makes more chairs and we all sit down.

"So what are you two into?" I ask. looking from Hazels black hair to Michaels messy bed head and clean cloths. They look completely opposite from each other other than things like face structure they have to same gold/hazel eyes,probably where Hazel gets her name. I have noticed that they change colors,from gold to hazel then back to gold.

"Well um...please don't judge us." We both nod and she continues."I am a thief." Our eyes wide and she smiles. "It's just what I do,anyways we are from Ireland so the police won't be looking for us here" I nod. "Okay, so I suppose it's my turn now? " I nod once again.

"Well, I don't really know I have been to so many doctors. I guess hiding and running from people is my talent. All I want is for the voices in my head to shut up but every doctor I see thinks there is some sort of mental disfunction in me and try to get me to an asylum. I used to believe them,at least about being mentally impaired,that is until I found out about all of you. Now we need to find Katherine,I have no idea what she is cursed with."

I notice Amber look at him sympathetically. "So you can't control your power?" He shakes his head. "Well then no matter how much you want to find Katherine,we need to get your powers taken care of." He nods slowly.

Amber takes him through a similar routine. "Okay,so close your eyes." She tells him. "I can't then the voices take over." She remains calm though. "It's just a barrier,they are different in each of us." after a while Michael finally closes his eyes. "That's it. Now just push through the voices,they are only illusions" Amber instructs him.Just when I think he's done it he opens his eyes.

"I can't do it!"He cries out frustrated. "Whats holding you back Michael?! What are you so afraid of?!" Amber yells from across the table.She looks at him red eyed. "I don't know nothing I geuss..." I looks down at his feet and he is fighting with his fingers under the table."Well obviously you're afraid of something otherwise you would be able to push through."She yells back.

There is a pause before he closes his eyes again. "I'm just afraid that if I work myself into people's heads, first I would have stuff that could even be too secret for me to keep, second what if working my way into people's heads brakes bonds held strong by me not using my power?" He looks at Hazel while saying this.

"Congratulations Michael you have confronted your fear! Now try and push through any barriers." Amber tells him and he does. "I did it for once my head's clear!" He is about to open his eyes but the three of us yell as him. "No! Don't do it! Close your eyes!"He is shocked but he does as told. "From here on out you need to sort through every file in your head until you find it." Amber says. 

"And you won't lose people because of your power,You have already been in  my dreams.I'll be here to watch and make sure you don't open your eyes." Hazel tells her newly found twin. He nods. She smiles."Okay,so I'm going to help Amber and Gale set up the biome so we can get accommodated for the next couple of days.Tell me if you find anything!"She tells him grinning ear to ear and runs up to us.
