Memory of Essence
Chapter 1- The Beginning
I woke up like always hearing that stupid alarm clock. Turned over to check the time, late as always. The alarm was supposed to go off at 5:00am, but of course the stupid alarm, didn't go off till around 6:30am. Not leaving me much to get ready for work. Getting out of bed was of course a hassle, just like it always is, reluctant to get up to start the day. Of course I never figured that, today was going to be a long day. When I finally got up, I felt the rush of my night yesterday. My two friends knowing that today was of course my 23 birthday, wanted to celebrate, at a club no doubt. And only having to friends, is normal when you look like I do. Not too many people want to be seen with me, mainly cause well, I get into that later. Anyway Christina and Isabel dragged me out of my house, and to this club they wanted to try out. Like always when they make me go to the club, I do nothing but sit at the damn bar.
Hours passed Christina and Isabel, of course having a blast. Me on the other hand, still sitting at the bar, waiting until they let me go home, and sleep. Getting a bit restless I look at my watch and it's already 3:00 in the morning. I don't want to leave because I promised them that I would stay, and try to have fun, when they and I know that's lost. According to them both, I don't know what fun is. Well the truth is the way I was brought up fun isn't even in my vocabulary. I was getting ready to leave because I got tired of waiting for them to want to leave. I noticed a strange smell, coming my way. And as instinct as I smelt it I realized what it was. A shifter, a person in a sense, which they can shift into anything they touch.
Well as he approached closer to me, I read him more carefully, but of course it was quite hard. It seemed to me that he was trying to block my powers. Since I didn't mention it before I am the last of my kind, the Esscencers. A group of people able to read a person, which includes well just about everything about them. I do have other powers, like being able to control the five elements of life. Earth, water, air, fire and spirit. But, of course being the last of my kind, all the power became my responsibility to keep the elements safe, growing more powerful by day and night, becoming more feared, by all of my enemies.
Well, as I read this young man, as best as I could. They only thing I picked up, were his name, and what he looked like. His name was David, and man was he handsome, I mean not just your average day handsome, I mean handsome with a damn cherry on top. He had perfectly shaggy blonde-reddish hair, not to reddish made it look like he had a tan in his hair. His hair was all over the place, which shows me as I was reading him that he is trying to hide from something, or hide a secret. Anyway, his eyes were a deep green color, and when you looked at them you would lose yourself, becoming so mesmerized. He was really tall, tall enough that if I wore high heels, I still wouldn't be even close to reaching him. At that moment I felt incredibly small. I couldn't see his chest, but seeing his arms, proved that damn he must work out, more than I do. As he walked on by I could tell he was trying to figure out who was reading him. Never expecting a girl, because it's never normal for woman to the gift of reading. So just like everywhere I go, he didn't notice me, because one of my other great gifts I was granted, is shading. Shading is being able to change your facial feature as to not show your true beauty.
As I saw him walk out the club, that's when I decided to follow him, not one of my greatest moves, but I did anyway. As I walked out myself, I gave Christina and Isabel and nod telling them that I'm going home to rest. But really I'm not, I'm going to try and follow this David guy. As I walked out the door, it was even a minute, sense he left, but there was no sign of him anywhere. I looked at every corner, every street, and nothing. It was like he vanished, without even a scent. Because I couldn't even trace his smell. Then I thought to myself, that he of course must have to be a powerful shifter, or he has someone, shading his smell for him. But, whatever the cause I couldn't find him anywhere, and for some reason deep inside my gut, I didn't like the feeling of him just vanishing. I knew that that wasn't going to be the last I see of him. For some odd reason, I knew me and him were connected in some aspect or another. So I just turned away and headed to my car. Which when I got there, it was gone.
