I went to camp for another week after the camp I got the idea from, and had plenty of time to write(we slept in A LOT!) So I'm treating you guys! 2 CHAPTERS!
I followed her scent and arrived quickly at a large house, a few miles out of town, with a stable, paddock and pasture. She was waiting in the pasture. She waved for me to stay where I was: on the front porch, well away from where the horses were. She whistled loudly, and a lot of horses ran towards her, she whispered something to them and they calmed down, reaching their heads out for her to pet them. She took a rope off of her shoulder and put it around a huge, black horse's neck and let it to the stables. The rest followed, a few going in after her and the black horse. She got all the horses in the stalls and ran back to me.
" Would you like to meet my family?" She asked.
"Yes, that would be nice." I said politely.
She smiled, and gestured for me to follow her. She led me to the barn.
I was very confused.
We walked in and were in a long, wide aisle, with about 20 stalls on either side. The first stall held the large black horse, munching on hay. "This is Gem." she said, opening the stall door and patting the horse's neck.
I inched into the stall and Gem turned to glare at me. Heather laughed.
"She's moody" She said.
I reached out slowly and patted her neck, feeling her pulse.
I glanced at Heather, wondering how she managed.
"They're my family, they don't appeal to me." She answered my silent question. That used to be my job.
She laughed, and I smiled.
"So you read minds?" I asked.
"Not normally." she answered. I looked at her quizzically.
"My power is that I can copy- and grow on- other peoples' gifts." She smiled waiting for my reaction.
My eyes widened. I swear, if I stay around her much longer my eyes will be permanently fixed open. "Seriously?"
"Yup!" Heather said brightly.
"What do you mean, you can 'grow on' other peoples' powers?" I asked.
"Well, you can read minds, I can communicate telepathically." she said, searching my mind for another example.
"This girl… Bella," she said and I winced at her name, "She can block mental attacks towards her, I could probably push it out as a physical shield also." she looked up and saw my face. "What's wrong?"
I held up a finger, I'll be right back, I thought, she nodded and I made my way out of the stall, out of the barn, and off her property.
Once I had run a good distance away, until I couldn't hear her, I collapsed on the ground and started sobbing, though no tears came.
I lay there, curled in a ball(a/n like Bella would be), for who knows how long, sobbing, and then going frozen.
Finally moved again when someone tapped my shoulder. I got up quickly, ready to defend myself. But there was no reason to defend myself.
It was Alice.
