Breathe

Chapter 1: Natalie Anderson

"You don't have to....," The voice told me,"Don't pay attention to them... Come live with us...."

Swinging my bag on my shoulder, I went downstairs to the kitchen. Mom was drinking coffee and reading a magazine. I took an energy bar, fotold my mom I was leaving for school, and left. Really, everyday life is always like this. Wake up, get ready for school, go to school, work at school, go back home, text my friends, and .. Some secret stuff.

Walking to school, I was thinking about today and how we'll get too much work. I went into the school, realizing there was absolutely nobody. I went to home room,and there was no body. The next class was Science, I walked in, and I saw the craziest things, and probably the grossest.

5 year olds were running around the class. Joseph was smoking. Sophia was shouting, standing on a desk. Lexa was crawling on the floor.. And Mr.Jones was making out with the principal.

Soon to know, my eyes became big.. And I realized the voice was messing with my brain. I was standing there, staring at the whole class as they stared back at me.

"You're late," Mr.Jones said, as I went to an empty desk next to Sammy. I sighed, realizing I was red. Great.. Another day of shame.

"See? With us, you can be safe.. And not humiliated. You can be one of us, because you are one of us already..," A different voice said,"You'll be safe here.. Loved one.."

2 hours passed, until it was my lunch period. I sat at my usual table, and once I took a bite of the sandwich, I started screaming. The spiciness of the sandwich burned my mouth, as I screamed, trying to stop.. And then I did. I stopped, falling on the floor.. Shaking, my body burned, as I tried screaming for help. A force told me to shut up, and I couldn't speak. Suddenly, everything became dark and pitch black when people started rushing towards me.

I blinked twice, to see my mom talking to a man.. Underwater. She was wearing scuba gear, holding 2 gold necklaces. I didn't have a body.. I just somehow moved. The weird thing is, the man didn't have gear on.

Did I die..? I wondered. I swam up to my mom, trying to say hello. But, once again, something shut me up. My mom wasn't even looking at me, well she was, but she was staring at the man behind me.

I'm.. Invisible.. What's happening? I tried to scream.

"You can't just tell her.." My mom was screaming,"I told her you were dead! She wondered where you were.. And I had to make excuses and lie! Why DID you leave?? Even I don't know! To run your stupid kingdom? She's your own daughter.."

"I have to.. I have to take care of other people, do you not know that? She can't do anything like me, she's a human, how am I supposed to talk to her? I visited you because you visited me, and that's only one time I could go, and who knew we fell in love?" The man said, his face full of anger.

"Oh so you're saying you didn't mean to fall in love with me? Oh okay I get it." Mom had this sort of, mad and sad expression of her face,"Fine. I'll take care of her by myself. That's because I care about her, and I'm not treating her like she's some mistake. I know what you guys do to her, she complains everyday, she cries everyday, because of YOU! Your people, your kingdom, and you."

"Marie please.." His expression softened,"I'm not the one who---"

It ended. The moment ended, and I was at the hospital, to see my mom beside me with a worried face. She looked over to me and she smiled a little bit.

"Natalie.. You okay?" She said, softly

I nodded.

"Take deep breaths.." She told me, somehow very calmly.

I did what she told, and I felt better about myself.

Mom brought up some tea to my bedroom.

"Thanks," I whispered.

"What happened?" She sat down on my bed as I sat up and looked down.

"I don't know.. That's what happens to me.. I don't know. Something just took over my body, I couldn't do anything.." I thought about the vision I had,"Mom.. Have you ever went scuba diving?
