Odd ability

Odd ability- Chapter 2

I didn't end up staying the night at Haley's tonight. I couldn't handle it with the news, plus I really didn't want to be there during her change it's not something people want to share with others, everyone experiences it differently with different symptoms. So I went home and tried to take my mind away from the high possibility of losing my best friend since kindergarten by reading in the security of my comfy bed and eating chocolate.

A knock on my door brought me away from my book, I put it aside my bar of chocolate I found in the fridge and sat up on my bed.

"Come in"

My mum walked in, her long brown straight hair the complete opposite to my brown curls. She smiled broadly her grey eyes twinkling. She is an air elemental, so she's always concerned about me and when or if I'll change.

"Hey sweetie, how was school?"

I put on a fake smile like I always did, no need to put my mum under stress.

"It was good, but still boring as ever"

This earned me a slight chuckle from my mum. If only she knew the shit I went through everyday and how it'll be even worse tomorrow.

"Well it's good to know you're getting along alright at school, dinners ready when you want to come down"

I faked a yawn, not really having the appetite for food right now. All I want to do is sleep and get away from all my worries. "You know what mum, I'm actually really tired so I'm just going to go to sleep" adding to my point by stretching my arms in the air. She left and I lay down shutting my eyes, soon enough I fell into the peaceful slumber of sleep. Or so I thought.

I was sprinting through a misty forest away from someone, I didn't know who but I knew I had to get away. My lungs desperately tried to take in oxygen, but the more I ran the more my legs wanted to fold beneath me, too tired to go on for much longer.

No Ally, you can make it I thought urging myself on. Everywhere I gazed bodies floated motionless 5 metres above the ground and my stomach clenched in fear. I knew I was almost there, I could feel my safe haven nearly within reach now. Hope filled me as I saw a figure of a guy in the distance who I knew I could trust. But before I could reach him an excruciating pain burst though my skull and I fell forward onto the hard forest floor and curled into a ball as I whimpered in pain.

"Please make it stop... Oh please!"

It hurts so bad, and the pain only increased as I began gripping my sweat drenched hair.

I woke up panting, my heart nearly beating out of my chest. Oh my god, that was the worst dream so far. Recently I've been having nightmares and I have no idea why, but they have never been as bad as this one. I groaned and wiped my hand over my sweaty face. My head was still pounding. I swear I saw a purple mist as I exhaled but I blamed it on the dream. I sluggishly hopped out of bed and made my way into the bathroom and walked over to the sink not bothering to turn the light on.

Can't I get a break, it's 4 am now and I have school tomorrow. I grumbled and washed my face. I hope my mum didn't hear me scream or anything, that's the last thing I need. Mum hardly gets any sleep with long shifts at work.

I grabbed a towel and wiped my face before flicking the light on. The brightness making me squint, I must look like shit. When my eyes finally adjusted I gasped in horror and jumped back as fast as I could my arms knocking bottles all over the place.

"What.. the actual fuck!" I placed a hand over my mouth as my eyes frantically looked at my reflection, not wanting to believe what I saw. I wore a plain purple singlet and black pj bottoms but that wasn't what shocked me, first off my hair had a purple streak going through my side fringe, now unless I dyed my hair while I was sleeping I have no idea how it got there. Second of all... my eyes, they were purple. My mind quickly tried to come up with a reason why my eyes would be purple but I came up with nothing. This makes no sense seeing as my dad had amber eyes. After washing my face over and over and attempting to get the purple out of my hair but to no avail I began to calm down. Is this the change I've been waiting for? but no one has purple eyes, what if I don't have an element..

My stomach dropped at the thought. Nobody can know right now, I've got to keep this under wraps for the time being, who knows what people could think. All the while a little voice in my head was telling me who cares what they think, I doubt it could get any worse as it is? ...We'll see. I smirked at the mirror, Maybe I'll even give them a piece of what they deserve If I find out I have an ability.
