Loss of life

Practice time

Chapter 9

Jackson took me to some old warehouse not to far from my house. when we walked in the smell of rotten wood was very profound. the wooden floorboards were weak and creeped with every step we took.

Jackson walked briskly walked down a hallway and into the second room on the left side. when we turned into it I was surprised it wasn't that dirty. The floors were at least clean and thee were too fold out chairs and a wooden aged table in the middle with various items. Jackson took a seat in one of the chairs and I sat opposite of him.

"Okay" Jackson said."Lets get you ready to scare. First, you have to learn to move objects. It's not as easy as moving an object like when you were a human."

"Well,duh. I already know that." I say with a 'I'm not stupid' look on my face.

"Haha you are so funny. I can barely contain my laughter," Jackson says.

"Now, seriously, if you want to move an object you have to picture the object moving. I will now give you an example.", Jackson says.

Jackson stood up and walked over to the table, in which he looked at the objects. he selected a soda can and set it down on the chair he was previously sitting in.

"Now watch my every move",he said in a serious tone.

So I followed his instructions. Jackson kneeled down in front of the chair so he was eye level with the can. he then placed the palm of his hand on the side of the can and curled his finger around the smooth body of the can. Then a look of concentration overcame his face and in a split second the can was thrown to the right and hit the wall.

"It won't be that quick or easy for you because your just learning", he said.

I say there in awe. Now the question was, am I gonna be able to do that? Probably not. but I have no confidence in myself so maybe I'll surprise myself.

"Okay your turn" Jackson said motioning me over to where he was.

I walked over to him and he sat down in my chair. I picked the can up off the ground and placed it on the chair and met it at eye level. I wrapped my fingers around the cool can and just sat there.

Jackson must've noticed so he spoke up.

"Just think of the can moving and why you want the can to move. use your emotions."

I nodded my head. Ok easy enough.

I thought of the can moving and hitting the wall to my right. I thought of jake and how he deserved whatever he had coming to him. I thought of how all the times he told me he would never hurt me and how I was his everything. And everyone that was suffering because of him. I let the pain surge through my body like electricity through a plug. It numbed me through the inside and out.

Before I knew it the can was soaring across the room and hit the wall with an ear ringing clang.

I felt Jackson's hand on my shoulder noticed the sympathetic smile on his face.

"Don't cry. You did it! On the first try! It'll get better. But save some emotions for jakes butt whoop", he said with a genuine smile that made me smile.

I didn't even realize I was crying, but that's the thing about pain. It makes you forget about your surroundings and puts you I your own little world. And the only thing you have control over is being able to feel the pain.

I stood up, with Jackson's help, and wiped my tears.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For another hour or so we just focused on objects and increasing the size of objects. I went from a can to a water bottle to a book to a picture to a chair and so on. I even learned how to pull someone's hair, so that was interesting.

I now know that I am not holding back on Jake and Jackson can't stop me. I have to make him suffer and beg for mercy. Too much? Naaa.

For the rest of the night Jackson and I just talked about our plan when we saw jake and not to get too carried away. But I didn't make any promises...
