Amy, Martin & The Elements Of Winter

8. A Letter

"T- this c- can't be real!" Sarah shouted. She really saw my mother. I was happy because there was at least someone, who I could trust. "Do you believe me now?" I laughed. She nodded and smiled. This was the first time I was smiling again since my mother's death. Then I turned over to Mom now. "Can everyone hear you now?" I asked. "No, only you two because I know that Sarah really believes you!" she replied. I smiled. Sarah started to laugh. I was laughing too. That was right, I should enjoy my last three days. No, only two and a half. And I was really glad to laugh again. This wasn't a fake smile, it was coming straight from my heart.

*Next day*

I have two more days, today and tomorrow. I should use them to be as happy as possible. I should raise my hand at school. I should laugh a lot. I should spend time with my friends. That were my optimistic thoughts in the morning. I jumped out of my bed and went to the bathroom. I looked into the mirror. My eyes, they were a light shade of blue now, ice blue. And my hairends were blue too. My face was pale. I still haven't told Sarah about the curse, only about the abilities. Suddenly I felt pain. It felt like I was stabbed by something. By the eternal cold. The winter in my soul began. I tried to say a word. "Hello?" It worked. But my soul felt so cold. My eyes turned even lighter. I quickly took my phone. No, I put it back and took a piece of paper.

Dear Sarah,

I forgot to tell you but I can't laugh, cry or talk anymore. The cold has taken over my soul, I will remain emotionless for ever. I'm really sorry. But I will never forget you, you will be in my heart forever. You are my eternal best friend! Anyways, I hope I'll be able to talk to you again!

Yours, Amy

I cried while writing this letter. I still wasn't emotionless. I still had two days left. I have also learned how to use this magic now. I can freeze water and other things. I can also control snow, wind and water. That means I could defend myself if someone would mess around with me. I went out of my house and noticed someone by the street. It was Sarah. "Hello Amy, I wanted to go to school with you!" she spoke. I smiled at her. In half of our way I pushed the piece of paper into her hand and said,"Very important!" She quickly read it. She seemed to be scared. "Is that true?" I nodded. "Yeah, I have two days left but don't tell anyone!" Now I have scared my best friend. But I would have to get through this. I would have to try my best to stay normal. I would have to try not to hurt anyone. I would have to find a way to break the curse. I would have to do that.
