The year before last I moved to a new school, for a new start that I badly needed. It turned out to be much better than the other school, drama wise but this schools secret is far more dangerous. It turns out that it may be best for me but not for my surroundings, especially my loved ones.
Flash-back to three months ago.
It was lunch time and my best friend was being torn to shreds. Jade and I are completely different, you know what they say opposites attract. My hair is dark brown with maroon tips. Her hair is blond and has strawberry-blond highlights. Her eyes are light blue like the sky with white flakes sprinkled around, they tend to remind me of crystals. My eyes are gray and I don't mean like pretty silver, I'm talking dull crayon gray. Right now, this very instant I'm scared out of my mind.
My boyfriend was being shot repeatedly. Jades sternum just shattered. That day two out of the few that care for me disappeared. They were not gone for long, that very day I received my ability to communicate with the dead. Well only three, my brother Nathan, my best friend Jade and my boyfriend John. I was hyper, talkative and very out going before Nathans death.
Now I'm A Chameleon.
I can hear peoples thoughts, which isn't as cool as it sounds because I know every time someones talking about me. My brother had the physic gift as well as my parents. It wasn't until after his death was I informed of the family trait. And that was only because once he was gone it transferred to me. I am now a physic and necromancer. I gained necromancy the day Jade and John died.
I am seventeen my name is Elizabeth. I'm ado[ted by my twenty-three year old sister. Have you ever gotten your blood taken from a doctor and you see it in the syringe?
Well that's the color of her hair. She's also a physic, she only has half the amount of power as i do. Our parents are spy's, very useful considering their gift. Unfortunately they are being held captive and have been since I was five. We see them every other year but only because we track them down and my sister Ryan can teleport. I just discovered three months ago that every time I witness a death I become bound to the lost one for eternity.
It was three months ago that I watched in horror as jade and John's souls stepped slowly out and away from their limp bodies..... Zoning back into the present.
As I walk into the school thoughts slam into me from all directions, and it makes my head pound. The next thing I heard was the kind of thing that makes you lose your breath and stop in your tracks. It was not a thought and that’s what made it so heart-stopping scary.
“There she is, Beth, over here!” I hear Jade squeal.
When I look up from my phone I see Jade sitting on Nathans shoulders waving her arms, across the room. John has already made his way to me. They’re wet so I’m guessing they went and did their favorite thing to do in the mornings. Surfing. I don’t know how but I love watching them. They are so good at it because the water goes right thru them.
Nathan’s eyes are plain like mine but they’re not gray, they are silver. Our dads were the same as his. My mom’s eyes are the same as mine and Ryan’s.
“Beth we have a problem!” John blurts out to me.
“What’s going on?” I ask.
“Well we stopped by the house earlier and Ry left a note for you saying her new beau wants to meet you…. I called her and told her you’d be busy, and she didn’t mind,” Nathan said.
Good lord she’s going to scream at me later.
“What will I be doing?”
“Hanging out with us and staying as far away from him as possible.”
Confused, I just stare at them until they continue.
“I saw him absorbing Ryan’s power, she hasn’t realized yet, even if she had she wouldn’t care, she doesn’t need it. But you do so stay away from him.” He says with a concerned tone.
Then Nathan flicks me a picture of Ry’s boyfriend Jack. He has pitch black hair and bright green blazing eyes. There’s a scar right below his left eye, it looks like someone branded him their name there. It doesn’t look all to bad.
“Hey what’s that under his eye?”
Jade touches my arm gently before explaining.
“Satan burned his name into him, after Jack fought for his soul.”
That made me think, Satan only wants your soul if you have a mortal soul mate and an immortal soul mate. Who could they be? Surely one of them isn’t my sister. That’s a question I’d like to be answered.
