TURNING CLOCKS

Chapter 19

Vanessa took a deep breath and started to explain. “I was five years old. So about 10 years ago. I had just discovered that I was a multichron. My mom was so proud to have a multichron in her family. But dad just said I was a shame, disgrace, failure to this family. I used to get mad at him. Because I didn’t know how to use my powers. I finally got used to the sensation that gets to me when I used them and I learned how to control them.” she smiled. “Because of my mom,” she said sadly. I gave her water because she must feel her mouth dry and she took it. And she continued. “She showed me for a few months. I asked’ how does she know how to show me.’ She said ‘I was a multichron.’ I said ‘was or are.’ She shook her head and said ‘was. Because they thought I was the multidyna and they took all my power away from me and when you take someone’s power you can’t give it back or at least no one has. And once I learned to control my powers I would make it rain on my dad's head. I would do lots of things to him. He was somewhat afraid of me so he just kept his distance and would be polite to me just to not make me mad. One day he just left and never came back I thought and still am that it was my fault that he left. My mom told me to use my powers for good and not bad.” I nod and she goes on “ well one day I had a dream, the same one you had. Where I saw a button under a lot of snow in a high mountain.” I gasped and she nodded. “That's right this one. So my mom thought it was weird because like your house we also had a tile next to the mirror that I touched when I was little. Just like you. We went to see the women who told us to get the house and this is what she said when we told her about my dream or vision. Ahhhh Yes because I knew you were the chosen one you must go up there now that button will help you. ‘How do you know’ i asked. ‘Because one time I was chosen and I tried and failed and look where it got me. And it got her in a worn-down house. When we were almost there a man was there. ‘No, you can come here, it is dangerous.’ ‘how’ I asked ‘if you press that button or get close to it it will drag you to push it. And it will go back in time. And a spirit or human here wants to go back into time and then if he does then everything will change. Who knows maybe you won't even be born or will never see your mom again.’ I knew he was telling the truth because of his brain. ‘How do you not get dragged by the button.’ I asked. ‘Because I am not a multichron or multidyna.’ he responded and smiled. But just then someone came from behind him and stabbed his heart. That someone was a man that followed me everywhere to lead me here I noticed right away. He smiled and something pulled me toward him and my mom pulled me and we slid down the mountain. But I heard him say ‘you will come back’ and my mom and I left.” I noticed that Vanessa was crying. “Come on let's go home,” I said facing Vanessa. She smiled. Just then a man just appeared from, who knows where. “I told you to come back didn’t I.,” the man said hoarsely. Vanessa got up quickly and backed away. She was afraid of him. “First you betray Bella then you betray me. then you go back to Bella about what is wrong with you. You have really messed up Vanessa.” he smiled wickedly. “ “ no I would never and I don't work for you anymore so forget it,” Vanessa said afraid and then I remembered who that guy was.
