Escaping Fate

Chapter 6

(Lyssa POV)

I woke up to see Oliver with his head on my stomach, sleeping. We were back under the bridge that we slept at the first night on the run. "Ugh.." I groaned. My head is pounding...

Oliver's head shot up. "Lyssa? A-are you okay?" he started asking a bunch of questions.

"I'm fine, I'm fine... My head just really hurts," I offered a small smile. "What happened?"

"I-I don't know," Oliver shook his head in disbelief, "You just started shooting light out of your body and then you pinned Mark against the wall without touching him. After that he ran off and you collapsed and passed out. I brought you here so you could rest."

"I-I remember... It felt so weird. Like power was running through my veins. I didn't know what to do, so I just kinda released it," I responded.

"H-he said something before he left," Oliver added, "Something about you being the one and how you inherited the traight." He made quote with his hands.

"The traight? What could he be talking about?" I asked rhetorically.

"I don't know, but I do think we could do a little research on your family history to find out," he got up reaching for my hand. I took it and stood up cautiously.

We picked up our 'camp' and decided to eat before we went to the library. After our brief breakfast at McDonald's, we started walking.

Oliver grabbed my hand. "I don't want you to fall," he explained. I didn't care, I still blushed.

(Oliver POV)

"I don't want you to fall," I said as I grabbed Lyssa's hand. I blushed. I hate making excuses to touch her. I want to hold her hand and hug her without making excuses.

We arrived at the library and immediately got to work. Lyssa started pulling out some genealogy books and I started going through family history websites on the computer.

After about two and a half hours I finally got something, "Lyssa, come here!"

She came over and hugged my neck from behind. She smells so good. Wait, what am I thinking?! I sound like a stalker. "Did you find something?" Lyssa asked interrupting my thoughts.

"U-uh, yeah," I replied, "it's not on a site you would think it'd be on, though. I found some interesting stuff on this historical website."

"What did you find?" She asked.

[Sorry for the interruption, I just wanted to remind you that none of this was done with research, so these facts probably aren't true.]

"All about the Salem witch trials. It says here that the Strobinger [St row binge er] family was accused of witchcraft and that they were a big part of the witch trials. It says that Sarah, the one most suspected of witchcraft, had an amazing ability to control light. She had an immaculate power and was able to control it well. It is said that to this day, some Strobingers still believe that one of Sarah's descendants will inherit this power that they call the traight of Sarah. They say that the one who has this traight will be the one to defeat Obadiah's descendant, the descendant of the dark. "As I finished, her eyes grew wide.

"What does this mean?" We both looked at each other in confusion.
