Authors note: hey guys if you're reading this then that means you didn't think chapter one was that bad so thank you! I already have written 12 chapters (it took me awhile to get the guts to post them) and i thought it was too rushed so i took out a lot of things and i added more build up instead of chapter after chapter of reveling things. So anyways i hope you enjoy, leave a review if you have any comments about it. :)
Chapter 2
I was telekinetic. I had the ability to move objects with my mind, but it wasn't just moving things, i also had the ability to read minds, only if a choose to. If i focus on a person i can read there mind and know everything about them in a matter of seconds. When i was young i didn't know how to control it so i would always have migraines because of it. After some help from my dad who is also telekinetic he showed me how to filter what i hear and how to block it out. I never read peoples minds anymore because i feel bad about it and i don't want to be nosey.
Nora was a powerful witch, she could do some pretty crazy spells. Charlie was a necromancer. She was so powerful that she can raise the dead in her sleep. Im serious it happened once when we were camping, she was terrified. And then theres Christina. Christina was different, she really didnt have a name for her power but lets just say she is kind of like Thor. She has the ability to create storms and control weather. Once when we were little she got really mad at her birthday party and a huge storm rolled in and it was hailing and thunder storming. I dont really know how we all got our powers but i dont think they came naturally. I read some old books on supernaturals and we shouldnt be this strong, especially when we are just children.
Maybe I'll read his mind just for a second, i thought to myself. No Alice you shouldnt that would be rude. He would never know. I decided to go with the better choice and not read his mind...yet. For the past week we've just had little conversations about school and our art projects and stuff. Finally while we were in english class my teacher told us that we needed to find a partner for our group assignment. I turned to Christina but realized she was already flirting with a guy and i could here them start to talk about the project. I looked around the room and realized just about every other person had a partner. As i was about to ask Damen, Sarah walked right up to him and said, " hey Damen, i was thinking, my friend Emma already has a partner and your smart right? So do you want to be my english partner?"
She flips her long black hair back and bats her eyelashes. Damen shifted uncomfortably.
"Sorry to tell you but i already have a partner."
Damn it now who was i going to be partners with.
" Alice" he said.
I turned and looked at him.
"Yup Alice and i are partners so sorry."
Sarah stormed off yet again and i turned to look at Damen.
"Ummm" i said.
"Sorry but i really didn't want to be with Sarah and i saw that your friend over there already has a partner so what do you say? Partners?" He asked.
I giggled and smiled at him,
"sure why not."
Damen and i decided to work on the project on saturday but i made sure we did it at his house. If i brought a boy over to my house first off my dad would probably kill him, but secondly i really didn't want my family reading his mind. My family usually didn't openly read peoples mind but when it comes to someone new in the house, or a boy, thats a different story.
I knocked on the door of one of the biggest houses I've ever seen. This house was four stories and was out in the country so there was tons of land. I took a deep breath and the door swung open. Im pretty sure my jaw dropped to the ground for the second time now because damen looked super hot. He was wearing black jeans and a fitted white tshirt. He looked down at me and said,
" Hey Alice come on in."
His house was decorated with the fanciest furniture and huge chandeliers. He led me up a giant spiraling stair case until we reached his room. I opened the door expecting to see more fancy furniture and maybe even a statue, who knows. But when i walked into his room i found that it was a really plain room with beige walls and a bed and dresser. I walked in then noticing that one of his walls was covered in hundreds of sketches and paintings. The painting that caught my eye was one of a girl sitting in a feild during a thunderstorm. Her long brown hair was flowing in the wind and she was wearing a black dress. I just kept staring at the painting, there was something odd about it. Finally i snapped back to reality and realized damen was staring right at me.
"Alright lets get started" i said.
We worked on our english project for about two hours. We had to write a fantasy short story so we decided to do our own version of little red riding hood. After we finally completed the story we started to talk about his sketches.
"Whats this one about" i said pointing to the painting of the girl i was looking at earlier.
"Im not really sure, sometimes i just have these randoms thoughts and images appear in my head so i paint them." He explained.
I stood up and looked at the time. I had an hour until i had to be back so i looked at Damen and said,
"So are you going to take me on a tour of this gigantic house or what?"
He's simply nodded and stood up.
We walked around his house and he told me stories of other families who had lived here. We made our way down the stairs into the basement where there was pratically an aracade there. A pool table stood in the middle of the room, along with a fooseball table, an air hockey table, two pin ball machines, and bar.
"Wow" i said, "This is incredible, what do your parents do for a living?"
"My mother passed when i was a kid but my father was a very successful lawyer." He said "we moved around a lot but my dad wanted to retire so we decided to come here."
He slowly moved closer to me and said, " wanna play some pool?"
I paused, looked around and said, "I've never played pool before."
Damen told me the rules while we set up the triangle thing. He took the first shot and got probably five in. It was my turn and i put the pool stick on the table and tried to copy the way he shot it. I lined it up at took a shot and completely missed. The pool stick practically flew in the other direction and didn't even hit anything. I sighed and Damen stood there and laughed. He took his shot and got two more in. Then it was my turn again, Damen was at the bar grabbing us some pop when i completely missed once more. I got really frustrated so i moved the ball with my hand a little to the left so it would roll into the hole. I was about to tell Damen i got one in when something came up behind me and whispered,
"i totally saw that cheater."
I jump and squealed and bit and Damen burst out laughing.
"Thats not funny" i said catching my breath, "you almost gave me a heart attack!"
Damen just kept on laughing.
Finally i was starting to get the hang of it. We were down to each of us only having one ball left. He got his in (of course) and went for the eight ball but missed. This was my chance, i lined up the pool stick with the ball and shot it in. I jumped up in the air and started cheering but realized i still needed to get the eight ball in, i blushed and continued. This shot was from one end of the pool table to the other and i was on a really weird angle. I lined everything up, took a deep breath and took the shot. I clearly didn't have enough power because the ball stopped right in front of the hole. I wasn't going to let Damen win with such an easy shot so i carefully used my powers to push the ball in. I turned around and stuck my tongue out at Damen.
"I won, i won, i beat you!" I cheered.
Damen sat there and just shook his head and laughed. I started to dance around the pool table laughing as well.
