Chapter 8

Tears suddenly fell, my chest started aching, my breath tightening. I can't utter a word!

My legs were shaking and I don't know what was the right thing to do. His words were like bullets. Getting inside all around in me. Words were very loud, it gave me an irritable feeling that could broke my ears.

"Shut up!", I shouted him. He almost flew when I shouted. The force was too strong. As he stand still, he tried to slapped me on my face. He wasn't able to touched me, he was like a frozen man that moment.

I was shocked and decided to ran away from him.

That time, all I knew was to ran away from the people and to the place where I used to live.

I ran and ran...

Until I reached the bus station, there I rode a bus, I dont even know where it goes but one thing is important I have to escape from Gareth. He's a freak!

After hours of travel, I saw post that says, " Welcome to River Town".

The driver stopped the bus and I went down.

The town's deafening silence welcomed. It silenced all my fears. I didn't knew there is such place here. I saw an abandoned house. As i was getting closer to it, I noticed the cobwebs wrapping on the woods. I stepped closer to the door and knocked.

"Hello?"

"Is anbody here?", I asked. I tried to knock on the door for how many times but no one answered me nor heard me. I tried to look inside the house through the dusty window. Still, I haven't seen anyone. I pushed the door, it opened. So I enter and wander around the house. As I looked around, the things in the house were well organized. But it seems like no one lived in there and everything was dusty.

I went into a room, it actually looked like a mini library because there were many books found in here.

As I explore my eyes into a bookshelf,
" Ahhh! Cockroach!", I shouted.

" Ahhh!" I shouted for the second time.

The things around hovered slowly and slightly into the air. My eyes were bulging and widely opened my mouth that truly showed a surprised reaction.

A few seconds, those things that floated in the air dropped. Like there was an instant bombing inside the house. I covered my head and moved sightly to left when I realized I was in front of the bookshelf.

"Ouch!", I complained when a book hits my arms that covered my head.

When I looked at the book, it turned its pages. I was frightened so I grabbed the iron rod beside me, I wanted to hit it. Slowly, I went closely to the book while holding the iron rod. Prepared to hit it as if it will harm me. I used the iron rod to see its cover.

"Telekinesis"

As I read the cover, I became curious and wonder if what will I get from it. I picked it up and went to the living room to read it. As I walked towards the living room, I realized that I was not into this genres of book but now I am going to read this.

I sat on the couch and started to read the first page. After few minutes, I felt sleepy. I could not continue on reading because I felt tired so I decided to sleep.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Catarina was on the couch sleeping, with the book on her side. The strong wind came and opened the window. She heard a deafening sound , opened her eyes and looked at her surroundings. She went back to her sleep then.

That night was calm and hushed, Catarina looked terrible on the couch. Turning her head from left to right. She became sweaty. She shouted like she wanted to asked for help. She was begging while sleeping.

Her dreams frightened her.

No one could wake her up because she was the only one in that abandoned house. Instead of waking up, her dreams drowned her to sleep.




On the next day...

The gleaming sun wake her up. She stood at the window and wonder about her dreams last night. She tried to recall everything. But she could not figure out the real happening. Her head was aching badly that she went to kitchen to get some water.

Luckily, the faucet still has a water. She washed her face and drank some of it.

All she knew was, there were three men but there faces were blurry. She stopped on remembering about her dreams. She went outside rapidly and explored the area. She stopped from running when she met a snake in the middle of the woods. She step back twice as the snake went over her. The snake was about to bit her but she was able to stop the snake by the use of her unusual power. She then continued on walking.

In the shady woodland she stopped, she then sat under the big tree, trying to think about her and Gareth. While wondering again, she leaned on the tree and started to yawned. After few minutes, she fell asleep. While she was sleeping, the animals like deer,bunny, and birds came closer to her. She was saying something like she wanted go explain to someone.

The faces were blurry, but all she knew was that she was holding a gun. A 45 calibre gun was in her hands pointing to a man she doesn't recognize. She was shaking. The little Catarina was shaking to death. And then suddenly a man slapped her and got the gun. And the next thing she knew, there were two gun shots! Two men were already on the floor. Dead! She was afraid! She shouted and everything was a disaster.
She looked so frightened.

She dreamed the past.

The past that breaks the friendship of Catarina and Gareth. The past that shattered tears and blood. The past that changed the future.



It was already 6:47 in the evening, Catarina was still in the woodland. She was still dreaming on that moment. Suddenly she woke up, shouted a word then the animals ran away from her. She was sweating and breathes do fast. She stand and ran away.

To the small town where no one could know her.
