One
My tenth birthday was probably the worst day of my life. On that day i found out what i was capable of. I'm different.
I felt the floor jolt and the heavy vibration in the palm of my hands, my ears where ringing. Everyone in my living room was crouched down on the floor screaming covering their heads as i just stood in the middle of the room completely breathless.
Still.
" your future." A soft voice whispers to me.
"What?" i look around but all i see are my terrified party guests. Except they're not moving anymore... it's like time just paused. The sudden jolt caused all the glass windows and mirrors to shatter so now they hang in the air. My eyes contemplate the glass shards, they light up reflecting a mixture of colors making the room look almost delusive.
I struggle to walk over to my sister as the bright lights hit my eyes so it forces me to squint. "Jessica what's happening?!" i yell as i fall to my knee, my body growing tense.
i hide my face with my trembling hands, my warm tears slide down my cheeks.
"You did this, you come from a line of relatives who were just like you Emilia Rose.."
"Relatives? then what does that make me, what am i?!" i cry.
"Your scar will soon appear and answer the questions you seek." The woman is elegant, when she takes another step forward her she's so close i smell the scent of lavender. I look up.
She smiles "You will soon be ready to take Mina Clearwater's place once you have found yourself."
"Ready but-"
The woman's voice stops me before i could finish.
"Every 100 years someone from the Clearwater line is born with unknown abilities they must control to protect..."
My heart pounds so hard it's all i hear. No way this isn't true.
I'm probably dreaming. I Can't believe this.
"You may think this is a dream, all in all you must face the truth."
"Who's M-" the woman vanishes and a rush of cold thin air sweeps past me. I'm left with a long thin gash down my shoulder.
I turn around and find myself useless, my head hurts, i have no idea what she was telling me. All i know is i have some "unknown power" that some how caused this destruction in my house. Feeling the Woman's presence. Gone. While i'm freaking out in my own world i'm suddenly flown backwards across the room by a sudden force that sends my flying into a tall book case. That's when i get a reality check and everything starts to play.
"Emilia are you ok?? mom! Mia got cut by the glass!" mom rushes over, glass sticking into her skin but not harmful to injure her too badly. I want to cry so bad but i can't, i feel tied up in my head like i'm trapped and i'm forbidden to say anything. I'm sweating like crazy.
"Honey are you alright? you just fell onto the book case!"
my mom checks my face and skinny thin arms. Mom i think did this. She can't hear me she's too busy worrying about everyone.
"Mom what if we're being targeted?!"
my sister asks hysterically. That sends the whole room screaming even more. Thanks Jessica. Mom glares at her. "Jessica that does not help the situation! and no we're not being targeted!" she paces around for a minute biting her nails. "Is everyone okay?!" my dad shouts from in our kitchen while on the phone with the police. A couple people keep sobbing. I don't know why but i feel fine. Nothing really freaks me out, i scan the room for dad again who's on the phone still "Yes i think we're all okay."Soon after people cleared out the police came to investigate things and reported "the incident" as a drive by shooting or some sort of combustion in the pipes. They forced us to relocate since the half of the town of Jasper thought we were demon worshipers or just thought we were targeted by some gang members and what not. We fled without saying goodbye to anyone, even my grandparents wanted us out. I hate them now.
