Differences

chapter 20

Niall’s POV

I watched as the girl dreamt of left me stranded at this what I called a hell house. She never wants to speak to me again; she looked so disgusted with me. I wanted to fall on my knees and beg for her mercy hoping she would just give me a chance. I fell like once she figured out about the bet this would be the end. I wanted her to show a little emotion towards me. She looked emotionless. Her eyes were unforgiving yet I could see the sorrow in her grey eyes.

I’ve never seen her so aggressive towards anyone or anything. She was a sweet girl who wouldn’t hurt a fly. She was always cheery, but ever since I kissed her at the party; she’s a whole new person. Her eyes were no longer blue around me but yet a dull grey with little streaks of blue in them. She still looked flawless no doubt in that but she looked like a devil. I haven’t seen her smile not once since we had sex. What can I expect she will never love me as much as I think I proclaim too. Her cold glare at me reminisces in my head making me want to get teary eye. I wish she would just love me, so this burning pain of lying will be over.

I sit at the bar and order a hot chocolate with a small swivel of whipped cream on top. The elderly lady just stares before disappearing into the kitchen. Before she could return I felt the pain in my chest increasing. I wanted to run and hide. I stood from my seat and jogged out of the restaurant; I glanced at my watch noticing the time.

11:30pm

Fuck.

I begin to sprint to my car; I have 30 minutes. I start the car quickly, hoping ill make it home before supper, my mother would be extremely angry. I speed 30 miles over the speed limit. I begin to panic , My skin begins to crawl and I know what’s about to happen.

Aubrey POV

I pause for a little before speaking to my mother once again.

“Mum have you heard anything from the colleges”. I ask quietly

“I’ve only heard from one college-“. I cut her off by squealing through the phone.

“It’s that dreadful school Prairie View”. She says monotonic. My mother truly hated Prairie View; she hated how it was 5 hours away from our home in Dallas. She thinks I will forget about her once I leave but this is maybe what I need... Freedom

I couldn’t help but to cry in the living room. I was so happy but yet so sad at the same time. What about Louis, Zayn, Liam, Harry, Yareli, Connor, Everyone that I made great friendships I would leave behind.

“Thank you mom… For everything “. I wept to my mom. I could hear her sniffling from her silent tears. She didn’t want to admit it but she knew if she didn’t apologize she would never see my happy face ever again. For once in my life I’ve never wanted to be at home so badly. This was for the best of us.

“I’ll be home tomorrow”. I say

“what?” My mom sounds shocked.

“At 4pm I’ll be home “. I repeat more slowly so she can comprehend

“OH MY BABY IS COMING HOME”! My mom literally screams in the phone.

“See you tomorrow, Love you”. I hang up the phone, and then I walk back into the kitchen. Louis is still eating his food. He looks at me and tilts his head to the side. He squints his eyes and smiles.

“Your eyes are blue again, Are you feeling ok now”. He smiles. I had forgotten that my eyes change with my feelings. When my eyes are blue, I am cheery and bubbly. When they are grey, I’m sad and depressed. The only color I don’t know what it means is purple. My eyes were only purple one time.

When I was 13, my father and mother were on rocky roads. My father was a workaholic, and my mother was never home. I had a nanny, her name was Nancy. She was my best friend, my older sister, she meant everything to me. One day I remember it was a Friday night around 7pm. There was a loud banging at the door. My brother was only 11. We both heard it. I ran to his room, he was standing by his bed. I grabbed his hand and we both walked to the stairs. 3 grown men were attacking Nancy. They all were very muscular. They beat Nancy till She limp and powerless. One turned and looked at Nancy then up the stairs where I and my brother stood. His eyes were black as night. He shrieked at my brother and I, making the other 2 men come back. They all looked at my brother and I and fell to the ground fading away slowly. The only thing left of the men was the dust of their bodies. My brother dragged me into the bathroom we both were scared. When we looked in the mirror his eyes were purple just like mine.

Louis stared at me trying to figure out my thoughts. Then I heard the same shriek that those men made. Louis was staring at me.

“Aubrey calm down you’re going to kill someone”. Louis voice was 10 times deeper than before. Zayn lurked into the room. His eyes were a fiery gold.

“I can’t, I keep thinking about my past”. Next thing I knew I was crying. My emotions were running wild. I was going through to many feelings.

I was hearing small conversation between Zayn and Louis, but at the same time it wasn’t clear. My thoughts were blurring their conversation out. The only one I could get from their conversation was “there’s no way she’s one of them. She’s not the only one she knows another one. There’s only 4 in the world are you kidding me, maybe it’s just a trait”.

I blinked my eyes and I snapped back into reality. I looked at them and asked “What are y’all talking about”.

“It’s nothing for you to be concerned about”. Zayn snaps before walking to his room.

“What’s wrong with him”? I question Louis.

He just looks down and says “so when are you going to be ready?”

“I’m going to shower now “. I reply quickly before dashing into Zayn’s room, grabbing clothes and heading for the restroom. The water begins to run and I begin to think of reasons Zayn and Louis looked so terrified of me. They stared at me like I was an evil villain. Then Zayn had such a bad attitude towards me. I strip down from my clothes and I step into the shower that is perfect temperature.

Zayn POV

I knew this girl was danger from the beginning, ever since Niall and she had sex. Now she is all powerful and we can’t stop her. The powers she already had and now the power she could’ve obtained from Niall. She doesn’t even know all the things she could do. Niall will die as soon as our rulers find out. There’s no way he will survive unless he runs, runs, Or if one of us can take her powers away. She could annihilate any of us by just looking at us while she’s angry. Today I was so afraid my life was going to be taken away when I saw those purple eyes, but she wasn’t angry at Louis and I but our makers who killed her happiness as a child. She scared me so much because her eyes were a color that would make any dark creature want to kill themselves. Her eyes were red, grey, and purple. Which could only mean one thing, they were an all mighty creature and could kill anyone they desired no matter how they felt. She could fight you with having to touch you. She was the almighty one. This is the one I’ve heard of ever since I was a child. My parents explained to me there was an almighty one that no one knew whom it was but when they found out whom that person was they were to be destroyed as quick as possible. I know this girl wouldn’t kill a fly but I can’t risk my life I must kill her and whoever she knows of the same powers.

Okay so we got a cliffhanger I’m starting to really like this book. And I hope yall feel the same. Yes I know unrealistic bullshit but oh well suck on your saltiness lol. Anyways double update I think maybe I don’t know alright bye bye <3
