Toxin

Chapter eight

We arrived back in the states the next morning.

We must have stopped at some point because I was now wedged between Tanner and Greg with my head on Tanner's shoulder. The girls were in the way back and in the passenger seat sat a dog.

"Ah she's up" Greg said dragging me out of the van.

"Yeah and I can walk." I said as I swung back and forth over his shoulder as he walked.

"Sure, but this is more fun." He laughed and kept walking.

"Oooooh who's this?" A sweet old lady's voice said as I was bumped into a door frame.

"Ow" I mumbled rubbing my elbow that hit the frame.

"Greg! You hurt her. Put her down." The old lady said.

"Yes Jenny." He sighed and put me down.

"Thanks" I said to the old lady, who I instantly recognized and started to panic.

"Greg! She remembers me; you need to bring her to her room!" She shouted.

She can't be real! I was dreaming! It was because of the shock of my dad dying! She, what?

I didn't notice till Tanner was beside me that I was hyperventilating, him and Elizabeth were trying to get me to stop.

"That's good calm down" Elizabeth cooed and kicked Tanner off the bed. My hand instantly became cold. He shook his head as to shake off any thoughts and left the room. When did I get in here?

"She was there when my dad died." I started to cry.

"It's okay Hun she was there for all of us when our powers came too." She said wiping my tears away.

"What? Why?" I asked sobbing, finally grieving.

I grieved for the loss of my father, my dog and my home. I grieved for the friends I lost because of who I am. I sobbed because of the bullies and that I had to change who I was because of my curse. I hate it! I hate myself! This whole year I've finally gained back somewhat of a normal life and now I've thrown it all away. I'll never graduate from high school. I'll never be smart enough to do anything. I will never be able to do anything because of this curse. I'll never be able to find someone to love that truly loves me back. I'll never have a family. I'll be alone. Forever.

Suddenly something snapped with in me.

"Hun you okay?" Elizabeth asks when I suddenly stopped crying.

If I am going to never feel genuine love I might as well have fun with hatred

"Yeah." My voice didn't quiver; instead it held a dangerous tint to it.

"You sure?" She smiled wickedly.

"Yes. And I think I'm done crying for a while. That woman reminded me of who I've become and what has happened since." I said uncoiling myself from my limbs.

"Oh" she frowned.

"And I'm ready to make the ones who destroyed my happiness pay." I looked up at her and into her eyes.

"Good. We knew you'd feel the same way." She said and smiled again. "Come I'd like to re-introduce everyone."

I followed her down to the living area where everyone sat talking and hanging out. When Elizabeth and I entered everyone looked at me with what I would have thought was concern, but now I see its anticipation.

"It's time we re-introduce ourselves." Elizabeth said chuckling darkly and I grinned wickedly.

"All our names are the same however we all are enchanters however we don't have the power you have" said Greg.

"Oh." I was a little shocked because they all had the same green colored eyes. Now that I am actually looking at him, and the others, they all have a mixture of blue eyes, brown, golden, and red except for Tanner. He had the exact same eyes as me.

"I have the ability of fire." Stephanie shrugged.

"Earth" Greg said smiling.

"Ice" Elizabeth blurted from behind me making me jump.

They all looked at Mr. grumpy pants, who drove us here, expectantly.

"It's not like she will stick around, so what's the point." He grunted getting up only to be shoved back down my Stephanie.

"You said the same about me Sarg and look I'm here!" Stephanie said.

"Fine. I can control metal especially gold. Is that what you wanted?" He got up and left.

"Well then." I chuckled and sat down next to Tanner who visibly shifted away.

"Tanner has the same power as you." Mumbled the old lady who passed by just to say that.

"Really?" I asked turning to him.

"Yeah it's not that big of a deal." He grumbled.

"Oh and just like finding your mate isn't either." Elizabeth mumbled. My face paled. I've seen enough twilight to know what a mate is.

"Mate?" I asked dumbfounded. Yeah Tanner is like a God but I could never be destined to be with a God.

"Oh, uh a mate is-" Elizabeth began.

"I know what it is." I snapped. Whoa where did that come from?

"Okay." She backed off.

"So mates huh?" I began looking at the attractive man across from me. I chuckled darkly. "The last time I kissed a boy he died, good luck. I'll be in my room if anyone needs me." I got up and left.
