THE GIFTED

chapter 8

YEAH! STORY TIME. WHAT FUN.

Jake motioned me outside to a small garden, in the middle there was an empty space with logs as chairs with fences all around it.

Now all we need is a warm toasty fire, marshmallows and a scary story, then I would be back at camp.

I got everything except the fire and the marshmallows. Which left me with a scary story. Oh joy!

"another world huh? Is it like Disney world but even more puzzling?" I said sarcastically.

"no, it is another world." not sensing my sarcasm. "As soon as you step into a gate in a particular place  you get transported to where we live. And what is this disney world?"

I sucked in a sharp breath ,he does not know what disney world is! No wonder they call it another world. I wonder how he spent his childhood, I will screw him on cinderella later, first it's question time.

" 'we?' is that the people on the pictures on the walls?"

" yes, we are special people unlike the normal people living in the other world."

" what kind of special thing you have that they don't? "

" we have talent, we can think out of the ordinary, we can do things out of this world!" he was standing now getting all warmed up, then he looked down at me" come on, if I show you , it would be much better."

He walked slowly to the west door, I walked beside him.

The west door was carved with different designs of ice, water, fire, wind and earth all combined together, which looked like the one on the middle chair, the empty one.

I entered the hallway on the other side of the door. It had a grand look to it, it had photos hung on the walls but it is much bigger and has a thick gold frames around it.

There was 6 frames in total, the last frame had no picture in it.

Jake walked to the first frame and stood by it, the first picture was of a beautiful women sitting in, what I think is an orchard with flower blooming around her. And her eyes were a nice shade of brown.

Then only I realized that she was Grace, my mom's friend.

Or had been my mom's friend.

" ok, now we start with the intro, no questions or interrupting me"

That's what my mom had said, I really need to move on, or at least try too.

" this," he said pointing to the first picture "Is Gabrielle Gracefield,  also called  Grace. She is the most kindest sweetest person on the planet, so far."

I opened my mouth to ask a question, but quickly closed it as Jake  gave me a glare warning me not to say anything.

"as I was saying,  she is the nicest person I have meet, but when you really get on her nerves she  explodes like she is radioactive."

good to know

He then walks to the second picture, it was a picture of a man who was standing by the sea shore. He looked like the whole worlds weight was taken off  with him standing there. He has forest green eyes and wavy red hair, on any one else it would look silly but he carried it like it was his pride possession and it suited him.

" over here we have Marticus, he is as calm as a lake and as violent as the sea, literally" he muttered. " his moods keeps changing, so if you are going to ask or talk to him be sure he is in the zone".

" moving on, this is Jefferson or Jeff for short he can be pretty violent if you need him to be or when you don't , doesn't really matter he is always like that." He said pointing to a man with a black coat reaching his knees with red entrails on it. He has black sleek straight hair which seemed as if there was excessive amount of jell on top if it to make it stick to it's head.
