"HURRY UP EDAN!"
I jerked out of my day dream as I heard my boyfriend's voice from downstairs. "COMING!" I shouted back and took one last look at my reflection.
My chocolate hair was up in a curly ponytail and my blue eyes were tipped with makeup, I wore A short blue dress which fluffed up on the ends, and my feet was covered by white boots.
"EDAN!"
I went red and raced down stairs as fast as I could go without tripping and looked over at Jake, who was wearing a tuxedo. I smirked and hooked my arm around his, "Ready" I said simply and he smirked.
Soon we were in a raging room filled to the rim with dancing teenagers, but when they caught site of me they stopped and all shouted in greetings. "HAPPY SWEET 16 EDAN!" My best friend's voice sounded above the rest as she leapt at me wrapping her arms around me, drawing me into a hug.
I grinned crookedly and pulled away, "Thanks Katie! But I must say, you need to calm down!" I joked and she smirked spinning around in a circle, and that was when I noticed the blush on her face, and the stumble in her step.
"You drunk already?!" I exclaimed in mock horror and she grinned put her arm around my neck. "What do you think?" I let out a giggle and followed her to the dance floor.
An hour later I stumbled over to the bar holding my head in my hand as I sat down on a stool, Jake sat next to me looking over at me worryingly. "Are you alright?"
I nodded quietly feeling no need to talk and instead I took a drink of the alcohol I ordered. Immediately I pushed it away and scowled. My head ached like hell, and weird thoughts pushed themselves into my mind.
For a split second I was falling from a building, then I was back, then I was running along a beach the sun shining down on my dark skin, then there was blood, then light….then darkness…then red…
I was frozen in place not moving an inch my breath shallow and shaky as I came back to reality. My eyes shifted to the seat Jake was in, but he was gone and I let out a shaky breath. I stood up and smiled shakily, Maybe I should just dance.
I trotted into the crowd and grinned over at Katie, She grinned back but then frowned, She said something but I did not hear. I was crouched on the ground tears streaked down my cheeks and held my head in my hands,
A baby crying…
A mother laughing…
A small kid giggling….
Screaming….Howling…purring…screeching….
Water…grass…fire….air….metal…
Light….darkness…colours…
Pain….warmth…Agony…Kindness…
Names washed through my head as well as smells…sounds…tastes…feelings…touches…
Pleasure ran through me, then pure agony, fire everywhere….drowning…Dying…
World War 1….sadness….pity…Rage…World war 2…
Hitler…Erik….Charles…Jake...Storm…James…Logan…
Bones crunching, Blood spilling, Souls fading, Eyes dulling, Body's being tarred to shreds.
Mutants, Humans, Aliens, Dogs, Cats, Birds, Horses, Lions, Tigers, Leopards, Foxes, Wolves… Gods…
Life…death…living….dying…crying…laughing…smiling…screaming…
Screaming…?
Screaming…
…
…
…
I let out a loud Scream.
I jerked upwards away from the crowd as they scattered terrified from something… I stumbled away trying to block the visions from entering my mind, and instead ran. I ran through the city, Citizens looked behind me waiting for my chaser, but to their shock there was no one.
Sadness…happiness…
I shook my head as I ran into my house and slammed the door closed.
Anger…Calm…
I grabbed my hair as I let out a sob.
Pain…warmth….
Born….died…
I collapsed onto the floor as I fell unconscious.
I slowly awoke, my head spinning, my eyes red with silent tears as I struggled to sit up. I was in my apartment. I let out a shaky breath and stumbled to my feet.
That was when it hit me.
A wave of nausea shook me and I rushed into the bathroom, immediately hurling all contents in my stomach. Luckily I got it in the toilet. I rested my hands against the bench my shoulders sagged and I stared at my reflection only to jerk back in shock. My once blue eyes were snakelike and one of them has changed colour completely. To blood red.
I felt my tears fall, but I have no idea why and I held my mouth in my hands. Blood….red… This was too painful a reminder! I swung the cupboard open and snatched the medical case rummaging through it before pulling out a medical eye patch. I wrapped it around my red eye and stared at my reflection with a twinge of satisfaction before I let out a strangled sob, surprising me. I blinked slowly and then looked down at my hands.
I felt…powerful…
I shook it off and then took one last glance at the mirror before walking into the kitchen.
