Not Leaving Yet

Chapter 4

When I woke up the elderly woman was standing before me. I'm not sure of who she is but she looks harmless. There was something wet on my forehead, must be a cloth. She took in a deep breath and sounded relieve. 

"Oh darling I thought we lost you there for a second. How are you feeling?" 

That's when I realized that I felt like a piece of shit. My stomach was turning in circles again and again. Throbbing repeatly was my head and I felt like I wanted to pass out one more time. Well actually maybe several times after this one that seemes to be washing over me. I couldn't feel my legs and it kind of worried me. 

"Oh, duh I'm clown. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Orabella Agnes Luttrell. Your mother was once a pond a time here at this place while she was pregnant with you. She was one of my best students."

"Wait," I said. "Did you say I came here?" 

"Yes dear, you did come here. Of course you won't born yet but you as a child in the womb knew this place. You have amazing and precious gifts Lillian, that not even your mother knows you have." 

"What did you mean about she was one of your best students? What do you teach?"

"Well, I teach everything but the one class your mother was the absolute best at would be Orballing. Though of course you know what that is." She laughed softly then looked back up. 

Hopefully the look on my face scream what the hell is orballing!! I couldn't believe that one I even made it here with my mind. Okay this all must be a daydream of mine. Lets wake up Lillian. 

"She never told you did she? You have no idea how you got here or what orballing is."  How her voice was so surprised and kind of scared. I'm not sure what though. 

"No she never told me anything. What is orballing?" 

I decided that since it was a dream I didn't have to really worrying about wake up. I would any moment now. 

"Orballing is something that only a few humans these days can understand. It has to do with your bloodline. Do you know your grandmother Elanora? She along with your grandfather Milo, were the two most amazing orballers I have ever know of. They created so many of the new elements that we can control. Things like feeling love, hope and sadness. Controlling people's minds, futures, and thoughts. Making people feel feelings that they truly don't feel. Recreating the amount of control we have with water, air, fire and earth. There are so many things they helped the OCOD know so much more about what our kind can do."

"Wait, your tell me that we have these secret powers that no one knows about?" 

"No others know about what we are. And that is the reason we hide until the right time arrives." 

"What are we hiding from exactly?" 

"Many things. The biggest group we must hide from is the Docklies. Docklies are fecious and very evil humans that know what we can do. Anytime they get one of us they use drain our power from us and turn it into an evil power. Bad thing about that is they can change even the best Orballer into a horrible Dockly." 

"What are Dockly's?" 

"They are like us. You see when your grandparents helped change our world with the power of new elements, a man named Julius tried to take control. He believed that the OCOD should kill off your family line because only a Knight could contain the new elements. The OCOD disagreed and said if you give it time every family under orballing will have those powers. Julius wasn't happy, he gather a very large group and tried to kill your family line. They knew your grandmother was pregnant and was about to have a baby girl."

"My mother.." 

"Yes. Your mother. However, your grandparents knew that the group was coming together to kill them and used an element that she did not tell the OCOD about. It's called Gaerta. It's when a woman is pregnant and move the baby from her womb to a good friend that is also a orballer. Your grandmother did this with your mother. I was the one that gave birth to your mother." 

My head was spinning around with all this information but all I kept thinking was any minute now and it will be over. 

"But Julius didn't kill my grandparents." 

"No he didn't but he did take their powers. That's why they always were in bad health. They  lost something that they were never suppose to. Although your grandparents were kind of glad they did that."

"Why? They lost something that made them the way they were suppose to be."

"Because of your mother and yourself. You see your mother when she was twenty met a man named Oliver Horth. Oliver was a orballer and didn't know about your mother being one either. He slept with your mother giving her the gift of you. Your father still to this day doesn't know about you."

"No you got it wrong Ms. My father died just last night."

"No dear, he was a man that knew about orballing and helped your mother keep you a secret. You are so much stronger than you really know Lillian. You can defeat Julius once and for all."

"NO! No. Okay this is all just a dream and I'm going to wake up any minute and be back in the closet with my mother."

I got up and ran out to the place where I landed when I came here. Closing my eyes I said to myself I was ready to leave this place. Trying my hardest to change the thing that surrounded me. Feeling myself being lifted I thanked God, then bam. 

Standing up off the ground I realized that someone knocked me off the thought of getting out of this place. 

"What the hell were you--" my voice died out as I stood there look at my best friend, who is suppose to be fake, Caleb..
