Gifted

Chapter 5

                 I squeeze my eyes shut and wish that I was strong enough to win this fight, I know I am not strong no matter what my mother believed. I have to look the part though how matter how frightened I am inside I must look like a warrior with a ice cold heart o the outside.

I slowly feel the invisible ropes loosen around my wrists. I rub my wrists when I notice my skin has been scraped raw from the rope that was digging into my wrists.

  I am disturbed from my thoughts when I feel white, hot pain searing up my right arm. It feels like a fire is burning me I have never felt this kind of pain before, I scream until my throat is raw and dry. Then I feel the same pain searing up my leg, my thoughts become clouded by pain and I cannot think clearly because my thoughts are clouded with hate and pain.

I focus my anger on the old hag standing in front of me, oh how I wish I could kill her without a weapon but make her feel pain as I feel now.

I think back to my greatest wish as a young child which was to have the power of telepathy like my favorite superhero Elava Plutet. I think of what I could do if I had the power of telepathy, everyone would be powerless against me. I suddenly hear a bloodcurtling scream that is not my own. I look up and see Glenda hunched over as her spine slowly pokes out of her stomach.

As she drowns in her own blood I realize that I am not only as evil as she is when I made her suffer a long and painful death but I can also make my wishes come true, even if they are as evil as what I did now. I now remember my mother's warning

"Find the fine line between good and evil."

"I have taken the first step to the dark side"

I think .

I turn away from this gruesome scene so I don't have to look upon the evil I have brought upon her.  I hear a thump as her cold, dead body hits the wooden floor. I know it is time to leave this comforting home before I am flirting with death once again.

I read my mother's letter once more wishing it would tell me where to go next since my  mother is not here to guide me. I feel as evil as Glenda since I gave into the pull of dark side.

  I suddenly realize a thing I have never really actually thought hard about before even though I have read that section in the letter more times than I can count.

" I have more power inside because I have the good and dark side inside me, the dark is not always bad."
