Chapter 4 : The Storm

Chelsea

Sabrina got out of the boat. I saw Vaughn back away a bit but Sabrina had already seen him. She charged at him and brought him to the floor in a hug. I only tensed up more.

Sabrina was giving off a very bad vibe. I didn't like it. The reason I had become so chatty around Vaughn is because he gave off a very nice vibe. It made me feel comfortable, safe and I could tell he was nice. He was just hiding it. I guess my sudden change around Vaughn made him a liitle uncomfortable. That always happened to me. I'd find someone who gave a nice vibe, act like I'd known them for ages and scare them. That's why I kept to myself. No one to talk to meant no one to scare.

Vaughn had pushed Sabrina off of him.

"What the hell, Sabrina?" He was dusting himself off, while glaring at her.

Sabrina just ignored the glare and answered his question. "I heard you were coming here so I told Julia to invite you to the beach. But you weren't there so I came looking for you! And I find you talking to...this." She looked at me. What the hell? I thought she was nice? Well so much for 'if I need a friend, I'll go to Sabrina'. Looks like I'm on my own...again.

Sabrina turned her attention back at Vaughn, who was looking at her with disgust.

"She has a name, you know." Sabrina just looked shocked.

"Vaughnie! That's not like you!" I heard a growl come from Vaughn. Sabrina clearly didn't hear it because she was still looking up at him with adoration.

"Don't. Call. Me. Tha-" He was cut off because Sabrina had wrapped her arms around Vaughn's neck and kissed him. One off those deep, passionate (long) kisses.

I don't know why but this angered me. Maye it was the fact that Sabrina had forgotten I was there, because one of these kisses is not one that you want to be watching. Or maybe it was that Vaughn wasn't exactly fighting her. I was angry now. Never ever make me angry. It usually ends up with someones home-town demolished by a tsunami, hurricane or earthquake.

I stormed over to the shrine, grabbed my guitar and then ran over to Kirk. He rowed away and I don't think Vaughn or Sabrina noticed.

When we arrived I jumped off the boat and ran home. Taro saw me and yelled "The way the crickets are chirping tells me it'll be sunny tomorrow!" Oh, yeah? Wanna bet, Taro?

The way I'm feeling tells me it'll be a storm tomorrow.

I ran into the farm and made sure my crops would be ready for my wrath. I layed out some extra food for Rain. I ran back outside and saw the sun smiling down at me. I lay down in my field and screamed. I then pointed to the sky and muttered something.

Let it rain,

Let it pour,

Let the noisy thunder roar.

Yeah it sounds stupid but wait till you see what it does. Almost immediately thunder and rain clouds covered the sun. Lighting clashed and struck the town. The waves had grown big and treacherous. Rain fell in a downpour and the thunder clashed. The wind picked up speed and was now at gale force. I could hear screaming from the town. "Taro! You said it would be sunny!" Right now, if god chooses someone to die in this storm, let it be Sabrina.

I stood in front of the ranch, right before the town. If anyone saw me, they might think I'm the devil. And I don't blame them. I'm just glaring as the townsfolk run around trying to tie things down and get home before a tree falls on them. I know for a fact my hair is mad and my eyes have turned red. It's what happens when I get angry and curse a town.

Down at the pier I see Sabrina and Vaughn get out of the boat. Sabrina runs off back home while clutching her hair. Sheesh, if it was me I'd wait to see if the other person was ok.

Vaughn got out and looked around. Everyone had ran inside. His gaze fell on me and he widened his eyes in shock. He started to walk towards me.

"Stay away." He didn't listen.

"Vaughn, I don't want to have to curse you. Stay away." He kept walking.

"Vaughn! Stay away!" He stood in front of me.

"Y-you... You made the storm..." His eyes just kept staring straight at me.

"I'm a freak. Remember?"

He looked at me. Lighting and thunder crashed above us. The rain hadn't let up yet. It was still pelting down at an incredible force.

"Vaughn, you need to go home."

I pointed at him and muttered a spell. He disappeared. I stood there for a few minutes while watching the storm. I felt my anger melt away slowly as thunder crashed around me. I turned back to look at my house. A rain cloud was right over head and lighting would strike every few minutes. It looked liked a haunted castle from disney movies. I took one last look at the town and ran back home. I put on my pyjamas and crawled into bed, while listening to the rain hit off my roof.

I was in a white world. Nobody but me. No colours but me. Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. I screamed for help.

"Oh, stop that, dear. You're giving me a headache."

A woman appeared from nowhere. She was beautiful. She had forest green hair tied into a long braid with two buns at the side. Her green eyes felt like they were piercing through my soul.

"W-who are y-you?" The stuttering kicked in again. I couldn't get an aura off of her. I couldn't tell if she was good or bad. It's the first time it has ever happened to me.

The woman giggled. "I'm the Harvest Goddess!"

That makes sense. If she's the Harvest Goddess. it's no wonder I can't get an aura off of her.

"Chelsea, I have come to you in your dreams to talk to you about something."

I nodded. "A-anything."

Her face turned serious. "Your storm."

I bit my lip in worry. Would she curse me?

"Don't worry! I'm not going to hurt you!" She giggled at the look on my face. "I came to complain and compliment your storm. I have never seen a mortal make such a storm. However, you need to learn how to control your temper. I can't have you casting storm after storm." I nodded to show that I understood. "I'm going to give you a gift this time but no more!"

She held up her hands and murmered something. I felt my mind go hazy and I fainted.

I woke up in my bed. When did I go to sleep. The last thing I remember was talking to Vaughn and then Sabrina had come over on Meadow Island. Had I fainted? I can't remember.

Outside it was sunny, as usual on 'Sunshine Islands'. My crops had already been taking care of and Rain already had food. I decided to let it go and go to the beach.

When I reached the beach, I saw Vaughn with a suitcase, looking out into the sea. Isn't he supposed to go home on Tuesdays? It's Wednesday. I ran up and stood beside him.

"Hey."

He turned his head and I could sense he thought I was Sabrina. When he saw me his face relaxed and he nodded.

"Aren't you supposed to go home on Tuesday nights?" He nodded. Sheesh, do I have to ask him every single question to get a good answer out of him.

"So why are you still here?" He shrugged and then looked over his shoulder.

"I can trust you right?" I nodded.

"Well, I had a weird dream yesterday. I don't even remember going to bed but in the dream I was on my way back to Mirabelle's to get my stuff when a storm hit. When we got to the pier, Sabrina ran of and I looked around. Nobody was there. But at the entrance to the ranch I saw a figure. I walked towards it. It was you. Except your hair was mad and had blue tints and your eyes were red. I kept walking towards you and you told me to stay away or you would curse me. When I reached you, you told me that you were a freak and that I should go home. You snapped your fingers and I was back at home. Then I woke up... And it was Wednesday."

"I had a dream like that too." I had. I remember casting a horrible storm. I know I'm weird, but I'm not that strong.

"What do you think it means?" Vaughn asked. I shrugged.

"Hey, what time is your boat coming at?"

He looked at his watch. "3:00."

"Vaughn! That's not for another 6 hours!"

"I know but Sabrina would have come up and hassled me until I left so I'm gonna hang around here."

I had an idea. "Hey, do you want to come back to my farm? You can hang around there until the boat comes." He looked at me, suspiciously. "You don't have to, I'm just offering." He shook his head. "No, I'd like to come." I smiled and walked back with him to my ranch.

Harvest Goddess

I watched as Chelsea and Vaughn walked back to the farm. Erasing peoples memory is something I don't like to do but I can't have Chelsea find out her power. Not now. Not yet...

Oooooohhhh! Tell me what you think about Chelsea's powers! Peace! :)
