Hey this is my first fanfiction. I know there are a ton of these stories and I'm not saying mine is any better or different. It's mostly for me. I couldn't get the story out of my head. There are some errors because I am writing this on my phone. Please forgive me. Auto correct does not always help. A lot of times instead of she it puts he and so on. I'll go through and fix it as soon as I have access to a computer again. Thanks for your patience.
She knew something was wrong. She felt different. Numb somehow. She started to remember what had happened. She had been sleeping. It had started as a dream of the moon and the sun talking to her. It had turned into a nightmare and she woke up and went into her twin brother's room to sleep with him. They both had done that since they were little. She had started to fall back asleep and was dreaming of the sun and moon again. Then she felt herself being torn apart and put back together...differently. Then nothing. It all happened in an instant.
She couldn't remember her name though she could recall all 16 years of her previous life, her brother's name, her parents name, all her family members and friends. She wondered why that was but more importantly she wondered about where she was now. She slowly opened her eyes and she saw the moon. She knew that it was he who had taken her from her family. Him and the Sun. They were both responsible for this. She gazed at the Man in the Moon and as she did he said the only thing she would ever hear him say.
"Rae." she immediately knew it was her name though she wasn't sure how. "You must master your powers for those you are destined to help. You will be needed soon."
"Wait, what? Excuse me. What powers? Hello?! Who am I supposed to help? And why the heck did you take me from my family?! I wasn't dead or anything. I was asleep! Was I going to die?! Please tell me there is a reason!" Rae yelled. She waited but got no reply. She sighed and stopped waiting for one. She turned and looked around her for the first time. She was on a beach. The one right near her old house. It was beautiful. She figured she'd better head back to her old house. She had a feeling she was dead but seeing as she was still around she figured she would go see if anyone could see her, or just watch the mayhem unfold. She had nothing better to do.
She was quickly at her house. It was dark. It was still the wee hours of the morning, when people started going jogging.
She wondered if her family even knew yet. She went to see if her old body was still in her brother's bed. She didn't know how this really worked. She knew she wasn't alive but she felt like she had a body. Maybe this was all in her head and she would go in the house and everyone would wake up and she would say hi and everything would go back to normal. Rae held on to that thought until a person on the street jogged though her.
She went to her brother's room and saw right next to him, herself, or at least her old self. She was dead. And her brother would wake up and find her. Her beloved twin brother. She knew he would never be the same. She walked in and sat on the bed. It moved under her weight. This gave her hope. Maybe her brother would see her.
"Josh. Wake up!" she said shaking him. He woke suddenly and looked right at her, right through her. He could see her.
"Josh I'm right here!" she yelled. He looked around and then saw her body.
"Hey Bek you ok? Something weird just happened. I thought I heard you." he said to her body.
"You did I'm right here!" she screamed.
"Bek?" he shook her and then he knew. Rae/Bek couldn't watch any more. He was crying and screaming and she just wanted to be sick. Her parents ran in and found her and were calling 911 and crying. They forgot about Josh, who went and sat in the hallway and cried. Rae left. She couldn't bear to watch anymore. She wandered the streets.
Somehow she ended up back at the beach. She looked around and realized she was exactly where she had woken up. The sun was starting to come up now. She sat down to watch it rise. She looked in the sand near her and saw her brother's class ring. She always stole it so he had ended up just giving it to her. She put it on and felt a rush of warmth and power. She actually smiled. She looked at the sunrise. She hoped the sun would be more talkative than the moon.
"Hey what happened to me?" she asked.
"You have been given great powers. That ring will help you learn to stabilize them. You won't need it forever. You must master you powers for those you are destined to help. You will be needed soon." the sun said.
"Hey wait! What happened to me!? What am I?" she asked.
"You are the sun and the moon. You have been created to bring balance back to the world. You are a guardian. You must protect the children of the world. Learn and practice. You will need to be the best you can be for the fight ahead."
"I must protect children? I am a child! I'm 16. And are there others like me?"
"Yes and you will meet them soon, for now you must work on mastering your powers. I have already said too much. This is all I can help you with. Good bye." Rae wanted to scream and yell but she knew that wouldn't make him talk to her again. She sighed and flopped back in the sand.
"Powers, huh?" she said twirling the ring. "What powers?" she got up and started walking in the water. She decided just to let go as go for a swim. She dove under the water and got herself all wet. She floated for a bit until she noticed something strange. The ocean didn't taste salty. She tasted it again. Still nothing. She decided to try something crazy. She dove under and opened one eye. It didn't hurt. She opened both. She could see perfect! Like scuba diving. She swam deeper and deeper. Looking at fish and finding a coral reef. She took a breath through her nose, without thinking. Water rushed in but instead of drowning she felt fine. Like she was actually breathing.
She stayed under for 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes. She loved it. She swam with dolphins and sharks and whales. She finally decided to come back up. She was so far out she didn't even know how to get back, but she didn't care. She swam back with the whales and rode on ones back. He headed for the surface and she could tell he was going to do a jump. They launched into the air and she went flying. So high that she was sure it would hurt when she came back down. She closed her eyes and braced for impact, but it never came. She opened her eyes to find herself floating above the ocean. She was flying! She started zipping around the clouds and playing tag with the birds. She was having the time of her life! She saw she saw land in the distance and flew towards it. She was there quickly. She circled and tried to land but ended up failing miserably. She was now covered in sand. But she shook it all off and laughed. She was still sad about having to leave her family, but she enjoyed her new self.
