Reading People

Chapter 8

Reading People

I found out I had a new power. The power was to see memories of people. All of there memories. Everything and anything they have ever experienced...

I never sleep. I don't need to. I use my magic to make me not need sleep. It makes life so much easier.

After Theridol told us of the prophecy we decided to ask Pixie more about it. Pixie told us that whatever happen our side would win the war, even if some of the most powerful people on our team die. Everyone broke into happy tears and excited discussions. Pixie pulled me away and showed me how to see the future and past but I couldn't see the future properly. She also taught me how to 'read' people. Reading people meant I knew everything about them up to the present time.

At 6pm we left Pixie's log cabin and walked towards the mountains of Garnoy. We didn't have far to travel until the boundary. I shivered as I had a flashback of a woman trying to cross the line but getting shot at by the guards because she didn't have any permission papers. I looked around and 'read' everyone. I found out it was Lyell.

I sniffed and let a few tears drop down my nose before making a tissue appear and wiping my eyes. I caught Lyell's eyes staring at me and stared back into his. I examined his big, hazel eyes and found myself falling in love. A shook my head and stared at the floor trying not to blush.

As I was not looking where I was going a bumped into a small boy and fell over.

"Ouch!" I said, clutching my ankle. I thought I might of twisted it.

"Sorry, miss," said the boy, offering out his hand. I read him and found out he was a 8 year old boy called Eric. He flipped his brown floppy hair out of his eyes and pulled me up, hardly using any of his strength.

I stared at him in shock and the others held onto my arm helping my limp somewhere to repair my ankle. I sat down at the rock my friends put me on and read Eric again. Eric knew magic but didn't know it himself! He knew how to control the four elements.

While I was occupied in my thoughts on Eric, Cyrix sat in front of me and healed my leg. I thanked him and read him. Cyrix's specialty seemed to be healing. I re-read Lyell and saw that his specialty was controlling the earth. George's specialty was talking to animals. Palo's was controlling rock and Tear's was controlling water. Jade's was controlling the sun.

Then I had a brilliant idea. I read my self and found out that my specialty was nothing.
