Every Breath You Take

Chapter 4 ; The Transformation

Krystal's P.o.v.
As I opened my eyes, I saw Domenic, Allie and Aron staring at me. "Looks like sleeping beauty just woke up" Aron said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes as Domenic hawked " your 'transformation' begins in 5 minutes, then you'll find out what your strenght is.If you haven't already. " I'm sorry, but what to be exact are the strengths? " I asked. "Fire, Light, Ice, Mind and " Allie stopped and looked at Domenic who nodded "Darkness. Fire burns the truth as well as lies, it makes you brave but contains anger. Light lights the darkness and sticks with you in your darkest moments, it makes you feel fuller but it can also make you feel empty. Ice freezes everything when you don't know how to continue, even time, but it can make your soul cold as ice if you don't take care. Mind can make you control other people and let you see the future, but as well as it lets you see the good things, it also show you the most horrifying moments and feeling a person had you care about. Darkness," she took a deep breath " it may seem similar to light but it is the most dangerous strength ever. You may think that the light is with you but sometimes it is the darkness fooling you. It knows all of your biggest fears. As well as light it can make you feel protected and full, but if you play with it, it can be YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE " she said. I swallowed. Scared? Pfff no I'm not. Yes you are. " Everyone has only one strength. So if you think your strength is light, you can never be sure if it isn't the Darknesss playing around" Domenic was looking at me. "How will I know what strength I have? " I asked. " You will be marked. Not by us, by something or someone we don't know and I guess never will"Aron now replied.
I was screaming. Every scar that the shaddows left on my body, was burning in my skin. My head felt like it was going to blow up, and my heart felt like it could fall out any second since my heartbeat was really fast. I could barely breath, which made me panic. I felt how my sweat sticked on my body. Was this the end? Probably. "Shhh everything's going to be fine" I noticed someone who holded my hand. Then I heard the voices in my head. I screamed. I felt pain like I never felt it before. If a bullet shot hurts, then this was worse. Everything hurted so much, I thought that this was my last moment alive. Goodbye world. Don't be so dramatic.
I felt releaved as the pain was getting better. I breathed hardly. The pain was getting less and less. I felt like I was.... Newborn? Yeah I'm sure it was that I thought sarcastically. " How do you feel?" was all I heard. " I guess everything at once " I replied. "That would explain your eye color. It changes your eye color according to your mood. It is the only strength that doesn't get marked on your skin. Congratulations, your strength is Fire" Domenic wanted to continue but he didn't since I contorted my face and touched carefully my back. My skin felt like someone just wrote a symbol with a knife in it. I saw Domenic staring at my back shocked. "What is it" I was confused about the shocked faces of Allie, Domenic and Aron. "Your strength is Fire,Ice, Mind, Light AND Darkness " Aron said with big eyes. "That is impossible " I ran to the mirror on the wall and tried to analyze the symbols on my shoulder.
A circle with a star in it.-Ice
An eye with mistirious dark pupils.-Mind
A clear diamond.- Light
A black diamond.-Darkness
And a circle half black, half clear. But what strength was it?
They formed a circle and in the center of it, was the roman numeral for 5. Not less shocked as they were I turned to them" What is the symbol with the two halfs of the circle." "I have no idea. I've never seen it before. Not that cymbol and not even a person who all of the strengths like you. NEVER IN HISTORY." Domenic continued "I mean I read legends about people like you, but they were just myths. No one ever believed that people like you exist." I took a deep breath.What did he mean. He rushed to his desk and searched for something. I saw him holding a book and scrolling through the pages. Then he suddenly looked up to me " You're called the PARADOX.The combination of two opposite things. In this case, light and darkness. I guess that would be the definition of the unknown symbol on your shoulder. "
