Ally Hopkirks walked to school. This was the last day and she could not wait till she could go. She was waiting till that bell wrang and she could be one step closer to something she had been waiting for, for months. She was going to be an exchange student at Green Ridge International High School. For an entire term. It would be a great change of scenery and see what another country's school was like. It would be fun. Her cousin, Tanya lives near the school so she was gonna stay with her. Tanya was 26 and had her own house and job so she was happy to let her stay. She was so exited. But that excitement quickly evaporated when...
When she arrived home she found the door wide open. She entered very aware that there might be someone else in the house. She grabbed an umbrella from the wrack. As defense. She slowly walked up the stairs to the bedrooms.
She enters her room.The draws were on the floor and everything was out of them. They were strewn on the floor. The bed was undone. She quickly thought of what they were looking for.
'Oh NO! Where is it?'
Whoever was here found what they were looking for. They found it. This was bad. They found it her diary. It recorded everything. She put all her dark secrets in it. Her life was clearly endangered. She was suddenly awoken from her thoughts with a big CRASH AND A BANG.
She ran into the hallway just to see a shadow figure. He looked at her. Made a step towards her.
'Get back!' Strangly he/she listened and stepped back.
'I'm coming for you, Ally. You will see me again. Your powers won't stop me next time.' He/she said in a deep tone that sounded like a man maybe 30-35 years old.
She was too shocked to speak. What powers? He took one final look at her and jumped over the railing. She shook off her sudden unability to move and ran to the rail and looked over. He ran out the front door and down the street. Her mom should be home. She had to find her. She walked to her moms room calling her name.
Her mom did not reply. Now she was getting very worried.
'MOM! Where are you?'
She was shouting and screaming for her mom when she looked in the corner of the bedroom right next to the bed. There lay her mom with her eyes wide open. She was clearly shot in the head. She was soaked in blood. Emma could not understand why that shadow person had killed her. She could not cope. Suddenly she felt something click inside her and she started screaming in a pitch she had never reached. Sound waves came out her mouth and they shattered all the windows in the whole block. She didn't know how she did it but she had. As soon as she stopped screaming she just couldn't stay there and see her mom. Something in her said it was a dream and she was gonna wake up any second now. But deep down she knew it was real. She grabbed her bag from her room. Put on the outfit that showed how she felt. She put on a pair of black ripped jeans, a hoodie and a beanie with her takkies. She felt sad,depressed and angry. She just had to leave. She said a pray for her mom and left for the airport.When she arrived at the airport, she kept seeing that same shadow figure and could hear his voice in her head. It wouldn't leave her mind. She got on the plane quickly and was 18 hours away from her new life. She would never go back to London cause that would remind her of her mom if she did. Maybe she could live with Tanya then she could live there until she became a full citizen. She would work hard at that school and become a full student. Not an exchange any more. She was dressed like a gangsta but that didn't matter since she hated the world right now.
She got up in the plane when she saw that the shadow figure was 3 rows behind me. How did he get on this plane? I pretended I didn't see him but clearly he knew I saw him. Suddenly I saw a message on my phone from an unknown number.
What are you running away from? It doesn't matter I'll always be somewhere near yet nowhere. TPHe even had signed it. I wonder why? But I didn't like him. As soon as I reached the airport I ran for Tanya. She was picking me up.
'We need to get out of here. I'll tell you when we get home.'
She gave me a worried look and then she nodded. We got in the car and very quickly noticed that someone was following us. The shadow figure. Tanya hit the accelerator and we sped towards the house. We stopped in the driveway and ran inside. We locked the door and closed the Windows.
'Speak now!'
'Short or long version?'
'Obviously short!'
'I came home and found that guy in the house and he killed my mom. He was talking about some power I have and how he will find me. ' she gasped at the part about my mom.
'How does he know? This is serious!' Then she started muttering in some crazy language.
'What going on and what language are you speaking?'
'I'm speaking Galactic and I can't tell you now but luckily he can't follow you here.'
'Three things. Galactic is not a language, what aren't you telling me and lastly what can't he follow?'
'Galactic is the language of, let's call them Special Humans. I can't tell you right now maybe later. Also he can't follow cause of me.'
'I'm pretty sure he can cause he would knock door down and BAM he'd be here. '
'Cause of my power.'
'Why is everyone talking about powers?'
'Cause you and I have them, I call my power Light Fields. It means that I can create a force field out of Sunlight,stars shine, the moon. Anything that is like a light. '
'This is a joke right?'
'No it's not. You also have a power but we don't know what it is. '
Now I was looking at her like she was crazy cause that's how she sounded.
'Ally, if you don't believe me just watch my hand!' She opened her hand and a sphere of light appeared on it. I stood there unable to believe what I was seeing.
