I stepped over the fallen tree in the middle of my path. I looked around myself and plopped my butt on the damp log. I took in a deep breath of the moist air surrounding myself. It was probably making my hair a big frizz ball, but oh well, who cares, right? Not when you're running away.

No, I wasn't just being a hormonal teenager who was pissed about her phone being taken away, or having to do chores. I was running from a house full of…well actually to be honest, i have no idea what it was that was in my house. As long as I'm not there. Plus I'm glad that my parents were gone.

I had a very 'special' ability. I see spirits. Spirits weren't all dead souls, although some did originate from the living. They were another race. They were like vampires, zombies, or aliens (oh my!) They had a separate world, although they could travel to the living world with ease. I didn't know if vampires and such were real, but most didn't believe in spirits.

Along with this ability, I could see and sense auras around people, or spirits. Auras were the amount, and what kind of, spirit or soul one had inside of them. It wasn't like you could change it easily, like at a pep-rally, but your actual soul. It was a glowing color that I could see by just concentrating. Most people had a rather dim aura, but some had a stronger or weaker one. The colors of your aura changed with your mood. Colors ranged from blue (melancholy and stability) to red (anger and death) to black (fear) to white (innocent, or pure). The stronger the aura, the further away I could be to sense it. I could become accustomed to these auras. They were like flavors, and everyone had a different one. I had perfected this ability a long time ago, about the age of seven. That was eight and a half years ago. Now I was just trying to ignore spirits…

I was never really a fan of the spirits. I was scared of them as a child, and now they just bothered me. I took it as a sort of mission in a way. A man had given me a glove. The whole occurrence was a blur, but I remembered that much. If I touched the spirit with the palm of my hand while wearing the glove, they would go onto the other side. Where ever that was.

The entities at her house had no aura, and I wasn't sure if they were even spirits…maybe vampires? Were there vampires? Why were they at my house? What did they want? Were the dangerous? Were they real? Maybe I'm just crazy…I might be. Maybe this was all in my head. Im just a crazy person trudging through the forest into the unknown. There had to be a major downturn to this ability, not that I accepted it with open arms but it was dealable.

Suddenly, I whipped my body around, my long mahogany braid swinging horizontally. I could have sworn I had just heard something behind myself. It didn't sound like an animal either…the steps were too human-like. I was in an attacking stance; knees bent arms ready to spring out and punch what ever came at me.

"Is there anyone out there?" I called out

No answer came.

I started walking away again, taking more calculated steps in the forest, so i would make as little noise as possible. After another two hours of walking through the woods, I stopped at a running creek and took a seat down on a nearby boulder to rest. Talia took off a backpack she had brought. It had her lunchbag from school, since she had seen the…things…right after school, before she even got in the house. She took the thermos out and put water in it to drink. After the long and satisfying drink, Talia peered into the creek, dreading having to start walking again.

"Talia, they're gonna lock you up. You better get used to big fluffy rooms. You're going to be seein' a lot of them." I told myself.

A girl was looking back at me from the lake. She had light grey eyes with the darker grey flints in it. She had some freckles that were thrown across her nose and cheeks. She was a girl who had a little more in the tummy area than other girls, but wasn't obese or fat. She was kind of curvy, although she was no Pamela Anderson. She had long fingers with uneven nails that currently had dirt under them. She was wearing some comfortable jeans and a layered t-shirt; the first layer had a neon green rose, and the second was ripped in long horizontal lines. She had on old, worn out black converse on too. She had on her glasses which kept getting smudged. She had crazy hair sticking up in almost every possible direction, even while in the braid. I face palmed myself.

"So this is what I look like after gym…" I mused to myself, patting it down.

I tried smoothing the hair, but it just frizzed right back up.

I looked in my backpack again. I found my iPod, and discovered that my charger cable to her computer had fallen into my backpack. I thanked god for that…even if I didn't have my laptop with me, it would make me feel better, knowing there was a way to do something. I turned on my favorite rock song, zipped the backpack, threw it on my back, and started walking again. I reached out mentally, and felt around for any auras, but found nothing. I had been walking from upstate New York, so i might be in Canada by now, but maybe I was in the totally wrong direction…who knew.

"Well, I'll eventually find something. And I have a slight idea on what to do if I'm stuck in the woods…Hopefully this isn't going to kill me." I muttered to myself.

On top of that, I had a horrible feeling that I was being followed, but I pushed the thought to the back of my mind. I wouldn't last long thinking like that.


In the distance, a glowing pair of orbs watched Talia's every move. It moved fast, but silently, cursing itself for causing the girls attention to be pulled toward its direction.


I squinted at what looked like an opening of nothing in the distance. How strange, but I'd take it. I started towards it.

I almost fainted from happiness. The opening had actually led me somewhere, or rather, a road. I followed the road and saw a town. I also saw something out of the corner of my eye. I turned quickly and again saw nothing. I took the iPod out of my ears and put it away in my backpack.

I got to the town and went into the nearest store, which was a Turkey Hill. I bought a Lil' Debbie apple pie and a chocolate milk. I paid for it and sat on the curb. I took out my cell phone and almost screamed out of excitement because I had service here. I then made a call to my favorite felon cousin.

"Hey Itchy!" I greeted him with his old nickname.

"Hey Taytay, what's up?" Travis replied with a laugh at the old childish names.

"I'm in trouble, and I was wondering if you could help me get some…you know…papers?" I hinted hoping he would catch on to what kind of papers I needed.

"Oh yea! Where are you? I'll come over and fix it up for ya." He asked.

I knew better than to drag him into what was going on though, so I said "Oh I'm not actually sure, so it would be better if you could just email it. I may need some money too…sorry to be a bother."

"No bother Taytay! I'll wire it over; do you have a place around where you could do that?"

"Yea, there's a gas station right here."

"Ok I'll send you the money, and you go to a hotel or something…get some stuff, and get to a library to print out what I'm sending."

"You're a life saver Itchy!" I said exhaling a breath of relief.

"Ha-ha no problem, just give me about a day, I'll get to it as soon as possible!"

"Thanks again Travis, Bye!"

"See ya cuz!"

I hung up the phone and thanked god that he didn't ask what I needed the papers for. Now to get a hotel room, and take a loooong shower.
