Amy, Martin & The Elements Of Winter

7. Friends Forever

My eyes widened. "A- are yo- u serious?" My mother seemed to be serious. She just sighed and nodded. "You have talked to me for four days now," she said. "You have three days left to talk and cry." I started tearing up. "No!" I cried. "This can't be happening!" I felt the cold in my soul again. It was freezing, for real. I had three days, three days to say my last words. Three days to cry and laugh once again. I just couldn't understand why I got this ability in first place. Just why? I could have lived without that. But those thoughts made me cry again. At least I was with my mother. My soul wasn't frozen and it couldn't freeze, not yet. I had to cry and laugh my last days and enjoy them. I should at least learn how to use this 'magic' thing. I sat down on the floor. My mother disappeared from the ice cubes and appeared on the blue sky.

She was watching over me. I knew it. I just felt safe when I was with her. She was my mother after all. I wanted to hug her at least once again. I got up and went to the window again. There was my mother's picture on the sky. I stretched my hand out towards her. "Mom, why can't I feel your hand?" "Because I'm just a spirit, now I need to go, I'll see you later Amy!" she replied.

I started to cry. I felt cold. But not on the outside, on the inside. It was terrible to think of being a loner. I went to the bathroom again. My eyes looked cold. They were completely blue now. My skin was even paler than before and my hairends were even more blue. I was just shocked. Have I really changed that much since my mother died? Have I really changed that much just in three weeks? No, it couldn't be. My eyes have turned blue, I couldn't believe it. The same thing happened to my hairends. I should enjoy my last days with emotions and talking. So I decided to call my friend Sarah to spend the rest of the day with her.

I often told Samuel and Dad about my abilities. But they never believed me. They said I was hallucinating. No, I wasn't. I went to the park with Sarah. "Will you tell me now?" she questioned. I sighed and nodded. "Three weeks ago my mother died..." I started. She looked shocked. "That sounds terrible," she replied. "And one week ago I gained a special ability. I'm able to talk to my mother through water, wind, ice and snow. These are called the elements of winter. I can also use them as magic," I continued. Sarah was shocked again. "You mean, you are serious?" she asked. I nodded. She shook her head. "I'm sorry Amy, but I can't believe you!" I sighed. "Maybe I could show it to you, will you believe me then?" I had to prove it somehow. Especially to my best friend. I was never shy in front of her. I called after my mom,"Mom, are you there?" The wind started to blow harder and I heard my mother talking to me,"Hello Amy, as I can see, you brought your friend Sarah here!" Sarah seemed to be shocked. Could she really hear Mom's voice?
