Chapter 1 of my new story, enjoy!
It's hard to describe what I do to people. But I don't talk to many people, mostly just my cat. That sounded insane, let me explain.
I have always had strange memories and abilities that I could never understand. I just always knew things, felt thing, and was able to do things I never understood. I would just know things about people, like their names, or age, or why they lived, just but shaking their hand and looking in their eyes.
I can never go to funerals, or weddings, anywhere that has the same emotion flooding through crowds. I can't stand it, it physically hurts. You know the feeling after a break-up; immense sadness, basically depression. Now times that, that's what I can feel. Do you know how hard sex is when you feel for both people? Sounds great right, well, for the most part it was, but if you're not with the right person, it's the worse.
I was never a big fan of kung fu movies until I started dating Jaime. He loved those types of movies, basically obsessed with anything that had fighting in it. And when I watched them with him, we would make fun of the moves. But every time I did their moves, I moved with amazing precision and agility that only came from years of training. So I begin to do my research, watching every fighting movie I could get my hands on. And I did everything they did, just as they did. Now you may think this is crazy, that I'm just copying them, but it's more than that.
And then I went to classes for every form of combat I could think of. And the teachers were always confused, because, by their definition, I was a master marksman, swordsman, and in every form of martial arts. It made no sense to me, like all of this. All these new discoveries, I felt like I was going insane. And the only support I got was from Jaime.
After we left our foster home, we lived on the streets for three years, working odd jobs just to get by. We finally got some stable enough jobs to get a place of our own. We were happy, basically healthy, but I was still struggling with everything.
I was having constant dreams, night terrors that I woke up screaming from. It started taking a toll on Jaime's and my relationship. We were always so solid; it was strange to see our bond start to disintegrate. And finally, when the cops were called on us for our fighting, did Jaime finally say I should go find out why I knew things, felt things and was able to do things. But most of all, where this memories were coming from.
So we parted ways, I hitch hiked, and paid with my remained money to get where I knew I needed to be; England. I don't know why, but I always had this fascination with London, stemming from my time in foster care. I would always find books on England, anything and everything. And the moment, I heard the name H.G. Wells, I was obsessed. I could not get enough info on him, I had to know everything. I even stole books from the libraries and book stores on him. And I read everything he ever wrote. So going to England was the first place I knew I needed to go. And it went from there.
I went to Ireland, France, Greece, Poland, Spain, Portugal, Italy, all over Africa, Russia, China, Japan, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Egypt and so on and so forth. I have been everywhere I could think I would find answers, twice, trying to find answers. But I soon discovered there were none. So I went back to the USA, with a new bag of tricks I might add.
I found many different objects that could do strange things. A pair of sunglasses that could make someone invisible, a large diamond ring that makes the wearer indestructible, a shard of glass that emits a blast of light that can blind people for a few seconds, even a necklace that gives the wearer the ability to communicate with cats.
That last one I found in Egypt, around the neck of a cat. It wouldn't stop following me all through town, and finally, I grabbed the necklace. The second I touched the green shard I heard a voice. It made me nervous at first, but when I put the necklace on; I felt an instant sense of calm wash over me. And I was told not to be afraid, and he explained to me what was going on. He helped me realize that my answers were not in the Egypt, or Africa, or Europe, or anywhere else. They were within me; I just had to find a way to discover them.
This person explaining this all to me was Toth, and he wasn't a person at all, he was a cat. An Egyptian Mau to be exact. Yes, I know, I sound insane. But I have learned very quickly during my travels, expect the unexpected.
So thanks to Toth, I am back in the US of A, and to put it simply, helping people. That is until South Dakota.
Let me know what you think!
