Girl with the gift

Follow the light

Sitting at a restaurant with one of your only friends while she complains that she thinks that her boyfriend mark is cheating on her is the only normal thing in your life. I could never understand why Mandy would stay with her scum of a boyfriend, he in fact was cheating on her and no matter how many times Mandy was told she never broke it off. I became very good at pretending I was listening while I watched all if the people around me. I watched as people ate their food not seeing what I could, I wish they could though.

From a very young age I could see ghost, no one believed me when I tried to tell them so I stopped telling people and started ignoring the 'gift' I had. When I was a child I thought they were alive but then people would ask who I was talking to and I would get confused because no one else could see that person, my parents said they were imaginary friends but I knew they weren't. The older I got the more normal talking to the ghost became, them coming in my room at night to try and ask me for help or to not feel so lonely. I went through a time where I would stay up for days trying to talk them into crossing over but most of them stayed because of loved ones they wanted to watch over. I never understood why they came to me but I always enjoyed most of their company. I have had my fair share of angry ghost who try and lash out at me for what ever reason.

The older I got I tried to convince my family of the gift I had but no one would believe me until the ripe age of twelve. I know what your thinking, why twelve? Well my grandfather died and he came to me to tell my mother something. At first she fought me saying I was being insensitive and saying how I needed to stop with all the stories. My grandfather watched at how angry she had become with me and told me a story about a little girl at the pond with a bottle of pills who was going to take all of the pills and go into the pond to die, turns out the little girl was my mother and when I told her what grandpa said she freaked out because they decided to never tell anyone that story. From that day on my mom believed me and I told her about all of the ghost I would see. Sometimes it was really hard on me, part of my gift is seeing how some of them died or parts of their life. I don't always get to see but when I do it takes a lot out of me. I can now step into a room and spot all the ghost in that room, some are dressed differently but most importantly its a feeling I have grown to have. Its like my spidy sense is tingling and I just know.

" Earth to Chloe" Mandy waved her hand in-front of my face

" What?" I looked at her surprised I had zoned out that much

" When is the last time you actually listened to me vent about Mark?" She asked me with a small smile on her face

" Its been a long time" I emphasized long

" What's going on?" Her face held concern

" I had a weird dream last night and I cant shake it" I looked around like someone was watching me

" Sweetie your life is weird" She chuckled

" Mandy this is different" I sighed " I haven't felt like this in years"

" Tell me the dream" Her voice was soft, for some reason it always relaxed me. She knew my secret and I could tell her anything.

" Well I was standing in the middle of the woods but it wasn't me. I started walking but I kept hearing twigs snap, my heart was racing so fast. I started running when a pair of gold eyes jumped out from somewhere, I couldn't really see much but those damn eyes. I tried to calm my breathing but it was like I knew I was in danger. It jumped at me after circling me a few times and ripped into my neck. As I was screaming out a name I heard howling but it was to late I had died" I couldn't look her in the eyes I don't know why but I was scared

" Who were you calling out to?"

" Luca" I said the name like I knew it. I felt like I have known this Luca my entire life

" Damn that sounds intense" She muttered

" I'm gonna head home"

" Want me to come? We can watch movies" She always tried to cheer me up

" I'm okay"

" I can see your scared Chloe but I'll just check on you later"

After paying the bill we both headed our separate ways. I started my way home on foot, I preferred to walk. I always cleared my head that way but when I see a short red haired lady watching me I stop, it was like I knew her but I never seen her a day in my life. I couldn't place it but I when my phone began ringing it startled me and when I looked at the spot where the red haired lady had been there was nothing. I looked at my phone and answered as I started my walk back to my house

" Hey mom, I'm on my way home now"

"  I was just calling to say ill be home late" like normal

" Okay" I hung up the phone before she could say anything else

My house came into view after my short walk and I was thankful, I cant help but think that someone was watching me and I hated it. I walked in and placed my bag on the chair next to the door, something felt different this time. I walked into the living room and looked around but no one was there

" Hello" I shouted " Look if you want my help hiding is not doing anything"

" You can see me" A females voice spoke from behind me, I jumped. The red head

" Why are you following me?" I looked at her, I had the oddest feeling that I knew her my entire life.  " Why do I know you?"

" The dream" Her voice held sorrow, and her eyes showed the same.  It then hit me that I was her in the dream and that's why she felt so familiar to me. 

" What attacked you?" I needed to know

" A wolf" She paused " There are people in this world who can shapeshift into wolves. It runs in there blood. I was one of them."

" Then why didn't you turn into one when that thing attacked you?" I asked not believing a word she said

" It was to late. I knew I was going to die" She looked around the room then back at me " I need your help"

" You wouldn't be here if you didn't" I said still unsure

" My mate is in danger and I will not go into the light until I know he is safe"

" Your what?" I sat down on the closest couch. I knew this lady was going to be hard to help crossover

" My soul mate. We have a moon goddess who choses who we are destined to be with and there is no one in the world that could make us feel the way our mates do" She explained it to me like it should make sense

" what do you want from me?" I asked getting to the point

" Well my pack is in danger and I need you to go to them and help them" Her eyes were begging me but I just think this sounds crazy

" A pack?" I asked confused. 

" Well wolves live with a pack, right?" I nodded my head " Same concept" The red head dumbed it down for me

" I cant just leave here" I said shaking my head. 

" If you don't go they will all die"  She looked down at her belly " Luca will die"

" Where even am I supposed to go?" I had no idea why I was even considering this

" My pack is in Tennessee"

" Ill go" I have no idea why I said that but something in me had to. I don't know if its the red head that makes me want to do it or the howl that I cant get out of my head but I have to know. I went to my room and packed a suitcase full of clothing and wrote my mom a note

' Mom,  I know this sounds crazy but I have to help someone. I'm headed to Tennessee for a little while and I took the emergency credit card. Ill call when I arrive. Love Chloe'

My mom is gonna be pissed but I have to go
