Now You See Me • Dean Winchester [1] *ON HOLD*

Prologue

Denver, Colorado 1989

"Thea!"

"Thea!"

"Miss Harper!"

Bright amber eyes snapped up to meet the exasperated face of her teacher. Several of her classmates had also directed their sight towards the young girl at the back of the room. Her teacher's lips settled in a thin line, clearly frustrated with the distracted brunette.

"Miss Harper, if you would please come up here to read your essay for the class?"

Thea shakily rose from her seat, she hated speaking in front of the class. Anxiety swelled in her chest as her pulse raced. She slowly moved up through the desks, trying to avoid eye contact with her giggling classmates. Her teacher was tapping her foot impatiently, her arms crossed waiting for Thea at the top of the room. Thea's feet dragged along the floor, trying to delay the inevitable shame of making a mistake in front of all her peers. She would rather be doing anything but this, she needed an escape. It was moments like these that Thea wished she were a bird, so she could just fly away from it all, away from the fear and the judgement. For most people, the phrase "safety in numbers" applies but not for Thea. For Thea, the more people surrounding her the more afraid she was. Thea was absolutely terrified of people.

Once at the top of the room, she turned to face her fellow students. Fidgeting with her silver cross and chain that hung around her slender neck, she anxiously cleared her throat. Her hands were shaking violently, the sound of her papers rattling resounded in the near silent room. She cleared her throat again, trying to relieve the pressure that was building there. She was conscious of all the eyes in the room on her small, shivering form. Her breathing was laboured, and black spots suddenly clouded her vision. Panic was setting in and she could barely get each breath out. Her vision was getting blurrier by the second when finally, it all went black.

The other people in the room watched as Thea's frame started shaking violently. They could all hear her gasps of pain. Her hand was still clutching her cross in a tight grip. Their eyes then suddenly widened as they watched the young girl disappear and there was silence once more.
