FORBIDDEN.....

I smile at myself in the mirror.

Someone brushes my hair, my blonde hair rests on my shoulder...was I really that cute?....it's been a while since I had seen mum....it's been a while since I had a good laugh.

"so....what's his name? " a voice asks and I break out of my thoughts...i look up at Lora as I drop the mirror...."excuse me? "

"c'mon.....why are you smiling like that?" she asks and I look down at my hand remembering how Ron and I sat alone by the edge of the roof "he's name's Ron" I utter and the room goes "ooohhoohooh"

"Ron?..... the guy from our training sessions?" I hear cynthia say......"why him.....Ron's like 19 and you're what?......fourteen?!" Harley says and I roll my eyes...why did it matter if he was like five years older than me?... I get on my feet ignoring them.

***************************

I look down at my food, fries....at least it didn't taste half bad.....i glance at Ron who winks at me, I smile.

Janice marches around the room but she doesn't make any special announcement....she probably was just inspecting us as we eat......chewing on my fries I notice a person dressed in a black hoodie and a face mask?.....it was really hard to recognize who it was....but how come I hadn't noticed.....

"who is that? " I ask will who sits beside me coincidentally.....he looks down at his fries "I don't know" he utters.

Will picks up his fries to eat...."actually no-one seems to notice him.....or her" will replies and I kinda stare at the person looking down at the fries on the table.....weird.....

I place my hand on will's hair....his face turns pink...." I know your secret!... You mind reader!" I tease him roughening his hair but he just mouths the words.."so"

My mouth hangs open...."so?....that's all you're gonna say, so??! "I exclaim and will starts laughing...."it wasn't a
secret....bird brain" he mocks me....

My vision becomes blurry I had had this feeling before in the cafeteria at west side high but this time I see Ron.....he's being held by the neck by two guys....but Ron couldn't do anything....they each point a gun at his head...as if he was a bait...he struggles to breathe....my heart beats as I hear a loud gun shot.

I look in front of me as Janice keeps walking around the dining hall.....why does it always have to be death?.... "um.....you okay? " I hear will's voice...i mouth the words "Ron"

"run? "
"no... Ron" I say getting up on my feet, I have to see mama Jones...i still have a couple of questions to ask.

***************************

"you came back..."

I see mama Jones crossing her legs as she sits....i shut the door slowly and take my seat, she looks at me without saying anything....as if expecting me to speak first.

" I need you to answer my questions.....no matter what! " I say but she just shoots me a look " why don't I do the talking?" she replies and I watch as she grabs my hand " i haven't seen a black blood in ages" she says but I just stare at her.

    "and you my darling...gave me that experience of a life time...see when your blood turns red....it means you're normal, of course that's the color of a blood" she laughs getting on her feet "when your blood turns purple....it means you're a psychic and when it turns black.....it means you're dangerous" she replies....i knew that already....i was told by Tessa.

       "of course having a black blood also means you're also a psychic but it also means that you can see danger before it strikes and if nothing is done about that future.....you gradually become the cause of the danger " she replies....it all made sense now...i didn't mean to hurt anyone.

     " black psychics are known for being two sided, one moment they're nice to you and the other....you're in a pool of your own blood" she replies pulling out a picture of a freckled faced boy....i gasp as she shreds it to pieces " he was like you!.....he was nice and friendly.....yet he murdered so much, it was too late for him to realize how dangerous he was....i cried that day as I watch my brother's execution face to face" she sighs and I look down at the shredded pieces on the floor.

        "but why were being killed?"

   " isn't it obvious?.....you killed us first!" she yells straight to my face.....they did what they had to do to prevent a lot of deaths " you my dear....you're the last psychic standing and if they find you....they'll kill you too" she replies.....but who were the they?.... I knew mama Jones couldn't provide an answer to all my questions  so I get up on my feet " thanks, a lot. "

         *****************************

         " you want to escape? "

      She grabs my wrist and I look at her " I have to.....or I'll be killed!" I yell but she doesn't budge " no-one gets in OR out of this building.....the moment you try to escape.....you'll be shot" she says.

       I look down at my feet, if what mama Jones said was right.....then I had to find away to leave this shitty place " I tried to escape once!" I hear her yell behind me but I bite back "this isn't about you!.... It's about me! "

      I came to say goodbye and that's all she had to say...i head towards the door.

      " and how do you suppose to do that? "

     I stop from hearing her words.....i let out a smirk, there was a way to escape but it means risking your life.

       "I'm gonna jump off a roof, Tessa....and I don't care how bad it hurts"
