CHAPTER ONE

Okay so I don't know how I'm going to start telling the story of my life. All I can say is that it is waay complicated. Maybe I should just start with the basics. Like how I got into this freaking mess! I'll start from about two years ago when my life was a little better... not normal but better.

 So let me start from the beginning of all of this.... I'd always been a happy-go-lucky girl... still am i guess in some ways. I was fifteen back then. It was ten pm. I'd gone to the store around the corner. My street was pretty deserted by this time. The kind you see in horror movies when the kidnapper is just about to strike. But my town is pretty boring and harmless plus I was sure back then that I would have been able to take any kidnapper. There are many trees on both sides of my street so even if anyone would have been hiding I wouldn't have noticed. That's what happened that night. I didn't see anyone but I could hear a girl crying somewhere. Now I'm not one to confront strangers about their problems but the girl sounded so vulnerable that I wanted to help. I went to where the sound was coming from. Behind one of those trees I saw a pretty girl with shoulder length blonde hair wearing a white summer dress.

"Are you okay??" I asked her hoping I wouldn't sound like some creepy stalker.

"Just go away." She said without looking at me. When I didn't leave at all she finally looked at me angrily.

That's when I started to see her past trying to understand where she was coming from. (Okay so maybe I should explain. About why my life was never normal. Why I've almost always been a freak. I can see a person's past just by looking into their eyes. I don't know how it works or why I was chosen but that's not my only power). She had dual powers too, like me, one of them being reading people's minds. Of course she couldn't read mine. My block was really strong since I had been practicing on it since practically forever. She was looking at me wide-eyed, as if shocked, though I had no idea what was wrong since I obviously couldn't read her mind. That's when I realized that she was shocked that she couldn't read my mind. It had never happened to her before.

"It's okay." I was a bit alarmed as to how she was going to react. I hadn't been planning on telling her about my powers since I had never told anyone else. But it looked like I didn't have much of a choice.

"No, it's not! You're... I can't!!" She looked horrified and was unable to form coherent sentences.

"Read my mind? I'm blank?" I grinned.

"No! It's... It’s like I've hit a wall... I mean... Wait! How did you know I can read minds?"

I sat besides her looking at the tree she was sitting behind and took a deep breath.

"I've got powers too. I can read your past."

"Past? Like everything?? Wait a minute! Powers??You have more than one power??"

 "Don't you too?" I asked smiling mischievously.

"Oh right. You can read my past so obviously you must know about that. Can you read everyone's past? Everything?"

"Well it depends on person to person but with you yes I can read everything." I could read some people's future too but I wasn't about to mention that to her. I mean come on I'd just met her and I'd already given her information overload.

"So what's your other power?" she asked me.

"You never tell that to anyone else."

"But that's not fair you know my other power." she whined. That was good. So she was getting back to normal and was distracted from whatever had upset her.

"Maybe I'll tell you some other day." I said smiling mischievously at her.

"Or maybe I won't." I whispered loud enough for her to hear me. She pouted her lips.

"Yeah, whatever. So are there others like us?"

I shrugged. "I have no idea. You're the first person I've met who's like me. But since there are two of us... we can't be the only ones right??"

"Oh, what's your name?" she asked, a smile lighting up her face the first time since I saw her.

"Zoe Adams." I said giving her a genuine smile. "And yours??"

"Violet McAllister."

And that's how I met my best friend. I now wonder if it was just a coincidence or we were destined to meet since in the years to come we would definitely need each other's support.
