How Did it Happen?

How it started

This all started when I was 10 years old. My name is Thalia Faereheart. When I was 10 years old I knew I was different. I'd always felt like I couldn't be who I was meant to be. Like I was judged by every little thing. The way I looked, the way I ate, even the way I talked. But I never knew I was capable of more. I never knew I was actually someone that mattered but things started to get s little strange.
It was a Friday morning in Ellington State. I was walking to the store to buy food for lunch, since my mom hasn't been feeling well for a couple of days. She hasn't been herself and it had caused me to worry a lot about her. She has been acting strange since my dad left.
I walked by a white shop on my way there and saw a man looking through the window. He was staring right at me. It creeped me out a little, he wasn't even blinking. I didn't really think there was anything I could do about it so I walked on, But as I walked the same man was standing at the front of the food store. He still didn't blink. "What did he want?" I thought. I was really scared. "Is it possible to teleport?"
I walked through the store door and he disappeared. It was one of the scariest moments of my life but as I was in the store I felt a presence just above me. It was like one half of the store was cold and the other was warm. I had goosebumps on one arm, but not the other. As I walked trying to find out what was wrong with the heat there was suddenly no one in the store but me. All the lights shut off, and a voice not telling me something but mumbling as if they couldn't speak was becoming louder and louder. As I listened for what it said I heard one sentence that didn't make sense."Who you think you are isn't who you're going to be." I didn't get that. What does that even mean? Was It a sign of some sort? I had a lot of questions but I needed to find my way out.
A minute later the lights shot on but still no one was in the store, but that man. I tried to run but I felt like I was paralyzed with fear, but the more I struggled the more I noticed the man was slowly fading away. As he finally disappeared I thought one thing. "Who is he?" What kind of man stalks a little girl I thought. I still needed to get my lunch but I didn't really want to anymore. "What was going to happen next to me, what was that man going to do?" The more I thought about it the more nervous I got.
I needed to get home, the sky became dark. My mom is going to be so worried. I don't want to worry her anymore because she's been really stressed ever since she found out dad was dead. I always thought he was going to come back but now I wasn't quite sure. Will my mom be ok?Was I going to be ok? What happens next? Trying to find answers for these questions I walk back home forgetting about everything around me. "How did it happen?"
