The Source

The Passover

So today was October 7th and if you don’t already know, it’s Josh’s turn to go into The Source and get a power! I was waiting outside as he went inside. It was only a bunch of minutes later until he came back out again. Once he did the crowd circled him but he forced himself out and went too me. He grabbed my hand and we ran. I knew Josh wanted to be in that crowd but he was still trying to prove his love to me (although he already has) and was going to tell me everything first.

We ran to the woods and hid deep inside. We were seated on a big rock and then he was ready to tell me everything. Even his powers.

“It was all me being nervous at first,” He starts out saying. “But once I entered and saw The Source it wasn’t all that bad and I mean of course I was nervous about what i’d get but then I thought of you and how you seemed calm and didn’t really freak about your powers. I mean if I got three powers I would freak out like a fangirl seeing Thomas Brodie- Sangster.” I laugh and let him continue. “It was dark in there with only the light of The Source. I walked in. I turned back around and walk to The Source. It is gleaming a bright Yellow and it is sort of painful being the only light in the room. I stood there adjusting to the light when The Source spoke to me. It said, ‘Josh Michael Sanders . Today is your sixteenth birthday and you come too me too receive your power.’ It was a rough voice that spoke. The voice echoed around me in the small round room. ‘You were born on this day and on this day you shall except the next stage in life. I hope you will accept this power and learn to conquer it. It will take time and practice but you seem capable.’ It pauses and then speaks again. ‘I will give you the powers to speak with the dead and to dreamscape. Now if you will please except your markings.’ I nodded and then the doors opened and now here I am.” He smiled and held his wrist out. I saw the faded hand print for the power to seek ghost and then the thought bubble one with dreams inside. I grabbed his wrist and rubbed my fingers gently over the marking. It was soft and the scars bumped out a bit.

“So dreamscaping,” I say. People who can dreamscape have the ability to invite people into their dreams and I read it feels really real. You can remember your dreams and the feeling of everything you do in the dreams.

“Yeah. Just need someone there with me.” He looks at me and pouts. I laugh and place a finger on his lip and drop it too his chin. “You just going to sit there or kiss me?” He asks.

“Just sit here but now that you mentioned it. I can kiss you.” He laughs at my sarcasm and I lean in and kiss him. All the sudden while we are kissing I get cold and shiver pulling back.

“You cold?” He asks.

“Yeah, aren’t you?” I ask him.

“No.” He answers. I look around and see a faded person standing a ways away. The person’s eyes a black facing me and piercing into my soul. “What is it?” He asks, “Looks like you just say a ghost.” He laughs and I turn to him nodding. “Oh well you want to go help the ghost? I can wait for you tomorrow or whenever you are ready.” He says. I smile and kiss his cheek before jumping off the rock and running off towards the ghost.

“I love you!” He shouts.

“I love you more!” I shout back.

“PROVE IT!” He says and I laugh. I will somehow. I just need time. I race off and the ghost is getting clearer as I get colder.

“Hi.” I say once I am in front of the ghost. It seems to be a girl. SHe is pale and her wrists are bloody as well as her white dress and legs.

“How can you see me.” She says her voice echoing in my ears. It was a low voice but she spoke in a whisper.

“Well from The Source you see, you go through The Source and you come out with powers. One of mine was ghost seeking so I can see you cause I am a ghost seeker.” I say with a weird smile.
