The Light & Dark: Protection

Chapter 2: Hundred Days

I sat on my comfy chair by the window pane in my room. 'I survived the first day'. I thought. I laid my head on the window and watched the stars in the sky. 

I started to close my eyes, trying not to remember flashbacks that kept bugging me. I did not know how I was related to these flashbacks. I don't even know why I have to see it in my mind for a couple of days now. I thought they were just lost dreams. Lost dreams of most people I met in my life. From the very first school I enrolled to. To some geeky girls who'd talk to me. But, come to think of it they don't connect much with the people I knew.

I got off my comfy chair and walked towards my closet to change clothes. I chose a sleeveless top colored sky blue. I also chose a simple short that is colored off white. I got my tie off my hair and laid my long blonde hair on my back. I walked towards my mirror and looked into my face.

"How am I going to accept who I really am? I have a hundred days chasing me. What should I do?" I murmured to myself. 

HUNDRED DAYS

I went to bed with that thought still lingering in my mind. I put on my blanket and closed my eyes, and drozed off. 

*****

Then morning came. I heard a knock on my door. I opened my eyes but still covered in my blankets. 

"C'mon Ingrid. Breakfast is ready." Aunt says.

"Coming!" I shouted so she can hear me. 

I got up. I went to my bathroom and did everything I needed. I changed into my school clothes and did some magic on my hair. I just actually did something elegant looking for people to notice me. I got my bag from one of the chairs in my room. I quickly ran down on the stairs and made my way to the kitchen. It was smelling great. 

"Before you eat up breakfast, you have a test on History today. Better study while on your way. OKay sugar?"

"Aunt, no need to remind me. I got that feeling too. But thanks anyway." I replied while eating the cheese omelet she made.

Aunt M, she has been a family friend ever since I was child. So when my parents died, she took care of me. She taught me everything I shoud learn. She's like a complete mom to me. Like me, she's immortal. She can see or predict the future if she wishes too. Just a little tip, she doesn't like to be forced. Or else, she says the unfortunate side of your future. 

"I'd be heading out now." I stood up and got a loaf of bread from the table. "Bye!" I said again.

I didn't see her respond because I was in a hurry to get out. I don't know why, but my nerves are jolting. Jolting in excitement? Hmm. Whenever I feel like this, I feel something good's going to happen. I should be thankful though. This is my 99th day.

MESTER JULEIN SCHOOL

The hallway was just really crowded like a band having a huge concert. Well, maybe it's because the second day of classes. I walked silently to my clasroom.

"I like her hair. How'd she do that?" GIRL 1

"Tss. She's the new girl right?" GIRL 2

Ugh, even if I'm a bit away from them I could hear them. But the other girl. likes my hair. It made me smile.

I've reached my classroom and just took my seat. The bell didn't rang yet, so maybe I was a little early. There I go again, looking at the world outside the window. How - - 

"Hey uhm, Carter? We should see the movies sometime?" Janice. The cheerleader girl. Some girls in my class, says she's a bitch. Well, in their minds. I just hear them sometimes. 

"Oh hey Janice. I'm sorry but I think I would be dating with my computer this weekend." She gave Janice a wink. He totally burned her. 

 I laughed because of his excuse. I wanted to reach his mind, but blank. I can't pass through. I can't read his mind. His the only person that I can't read.

BELL RINGS 

Discussions. Discussions. Discussions.

Ugh, It bugged me. How can I not read Carter's mind? I scribbled at the back of my notebook. This is not normal. I've got to know who and what he really is. I laid my back on the back of the chair. I let out a big sigh. Or maybe I was just over-thinking? C'mon, Ingrid pull your self together. I'll try one more time.

I closed my eyes and concentrated. I thought about Carter.I thought about his mind.

"Carter!" I called out in my mind. "Carter!" I tried again. But no response. But I do know, I was in his mind. But he won't respond to me.

"Carter!" I called again.

"Why are you calling me, Miss Devindane?" I opened my eyes quick. I looked over to him. He was smiling to me. Like he knew that I went into his mind.

I closed my eyes again. I chanted a spell.

Puissance du temps. Travailler avec moi. Donnez-moi le temps de réfléchir. Arrêter le temps et de me donner le temps de parler. 

I opened up my eyes. Everything was still. Everyone was not moving. Time stood still. It was a spell for time. I stood up and walked over to Carter's seat. 

"Stand up." I commanded. "Get up, Foxes." I ordered.

I was not wrong.

He stood, smiling cheekily at me, He is not normal like me.
