For once, I'm excited to get away from home. I usually don't like to go other places faraway, but this would be different. I'm going to a place were other crazy people are, too. It can't get much better then home. People picking on me, my parents hating me, and my fears of the world. It was hard to get me to come here, but they forced me. When I was little I could hear the conversations at night.....'I told you we shouldn't have another child,' they would say, or 'she's ruining our lives!'
Ya, boo hoo, I'm over it. I can't explain myself, I just can't. The way thing effect me, it's not normal.
No one should even bother wasting their time with me. I'm a freak. Why me, I sometimes think, why me? God always has a reason for everything. I guess ill have to find my reason later. But for now I'm stuck in this terrible camp.
"Here." My mom says, pushing my luggage out far enough so she won't smash it with her car, and speeds away. Without saying bye. I sigh, and walk to a huge front gate.
I touch the shine, black bars. I magnificent fence with so many details. The rains curve in some sort of symbol. A round hooked circle with a crescent moon shaped thing on the bottom.
"Hello, welcome to Green-side summer camp, for specials." A lady, a little bit over forty tells me. She has a more annoyingly perky voice. "How can I help you."
"Umm, ya. I'm a camper. Lilian Dustin." I say, looking around at the tall magnificent forest surrounding me. The trees stand up tall, like their pound to be here, in this place.
"Welcome. Go to the lodge. You will be situated their. Thank you." She clicked away, and ind the gate opened, showing me the main lodge. Theirs a hill, and the lodge is right after it.
It is a yellow building, with big windows on the side. The pavement going down to the road keeps going to a playground, a small one. I go up, and open the doors to see a big building with many tables. In rows of six, the blue-table cloth tables stand with new wooden chairs. There's a man standing there he has dull faded brown hair, fading from old age. His big white mustache coming all the way across his mouth. His wrinkled face goes into a smile, and he hold out a green object.
I don't think but my body moves toward the emerald green egg like thing, and everything blacks out.----------------------------------
I wake up and see a circle of kids around me. Teenagers. I panic, and dash to go under the legs. I escape. I hear people screaming to come back. I just keep going. On and on I run. In purple mist, I see nothing but a blank purple canvas. I don't stop. Someone slightly grabs my mouth.
"Don't move, or scream, or they'll get you."
"What-" I start.
"Shhh!" I'm crazy! I think. That's why I'm here! I'm day dreaming, right?
"Now we're going to activate you, but you're coming with me." The voice whispers. I can tell he's a teenage male. His dark voice, his strong hands. I nod, and some how, I trust him. "Ok, you're going to, pick the item that connects to you. Don't take more then one. Understand?" I nod, and get ready to do what he says. "Go!" He whispers.
We sneak throughout the purple mist, no one in sight. To our surprise, no one guards these items. What am I saying? I'm dreaming. I could do whatever I want, it doesn't matter. I'm going crazy. Whack. Bonkers. I could yell, 'come and get me!' And it would be fine. But I'll play along, I'll do it. I jump over things, and duck and leap. Finally reaching the "special" items. There are rocks, torches, and many other things on shines golden pedestals. They are shinny and bright and in the corner of my eye I spot something. That symbol on the front of the gate is there. Is hooks and curves ever so elegant.
"What's pulling you in?" He asks. I trough the fog, his face isn't clear.
"The tree," I stutter, "no the ice." The feeling is like you're a human magnet, pulled toward an item. I can't decide the both pull me in.
"Pick one." He says frustrated
"I can't. I feel connected to both."
"Oh my gosh....." He starts then pulls me to the center, and says for me to stay. He puts on fur gloves and brings the icicle toward me. "When I say go, your going to grab the tree, and I'll give you the ice. Right when you have both say, powers combine." I give I slight nod, scared. Wait? This a dream. Stop worrying. I'm paranoid. I'll mess the thing up and wait five seconds. I'll see, it's nothing.
"Go!" He says, hands me the ice and I grab the tree. I wait. "Go!" He screams. I still wait. Then, after five seconds, I do it.
"Powers combine!" I say. And it blacks out.-----------------------------
"She messed it up! They can track us down! We can just kill her it'll be fine!" I recognize the voice. It's the man from the purple place. I must be dreaming again. I'm going crazy. I open my eyes, just for a glimpse to see the guys true features. He has strong, bold, and a muscular shape. His dark brown eyes are confused.
"We can't." A woman's voice says. She's younger, that's for sure.
"Why? She's going to kill all of us!"
"She is the most important person that has ever come to this camp." And I hear high heels walk away. When I hear the man leaves. I get up, and go to the bathroom. And when I look in the mirror something shocks me. I have a strip of green in my hair, and then a strip of white right next to it. I'm shocked. I fall over, woozy, but the completely regain my balance. I run out. Trembling. I run yfrom this clear room to a room full of tables, then I see an exit. I dash for it, but the girl blocks in right as I get to it.
"You're a runner I hear." She says. She has long black hair, and a skinny body like a Barbie doll. She has long eyelashes, and bright red lip stick and gloss. Her cat-eye shaped eyeliner brings out her features. Her all leather outfit really suiting her.
"Let me go!" I scream. "I'm crazy! This isn't real! I'm a crazy psychopath!"
"No your not. Your special. You have powers. You are very important." She says, trying to calm me touching my shoulders. This is not real. This is a dream. You'll wake up for school soon. Be calm.
"No! Stop! You're not real! Your in my head! Get out!" I scream shaking my head.
"We've all felt what you've felt. Now come with me. I want to show you something." And she took me.
