CHAPTER 3
It's been about two years since that incident. I'm still in Mississippi, the small town. I love it here. I have made many friends here, even though I'm not that popular. Here, there are many outcast. One of them including Brenton. Brenton is the only one who knows what I can really do. He is truly a good friends. But, ever since Connor, I havent been able to trust boys. Brenton teases me, saying I have trust issues. I know he is only joking, but it;s the truth. I don't trust people easily. Only Brenton and my parents. Of course, I have good friends whom I share other issues with, but not my big issue. I couldn't handle anyone else knowing. I would be known at the freak. Of course, Brenton understands me.
For the past month, something weird has been happening around here. Theres been distance between my family, friends, and I. I don't know what's going on. It seems to go unnoticed by them, though. I guess I'm the only one who is bothered by it. I can't put my finger on it, something just seems uneasy. My emotions have been out of control. It's a good thing I have learned to control my powers, because if I hadn't, things would definately not be the same. I tried to talk to Brenton about it, but he just seems unconcerned. I also tried to talk to my parents, but they're just the same as Brenton. I'm scared. I'm lonely. I just want to be normal.
A WEEK LATER
I'm officially scared out of my mind. I can feel something is going to happen. Soon. I can taste it in the air; it's such an unpleasant taste. I'm getting ready for another dreadful day of school tomorrow. I use to could put up with school, but with Brenton being so distant, it's so hard. I don't know what's gotten in to him, but I don't like it. It scares me. That happens alot now; me being scared. It's quite uncomfortable.
As get everything ready for school tomorrow, I think to myself. "Why am I like how I am?" Of course, this is not the first time I have thought about this. My parents say I am one of a kind. I don't doubt it at all. The thing is, how could this happen? None of my ancestors are like that, or at leats from what my parents have told them. Hopefully they aren't. If they are, everything I have known is a lie. Maybe it's for my own good, but still, I want to know why I am different.
Thinking about this subject always makes me tired, so I decided to lay down in bed. Daydreaming about what it would be like to be normal puts me into a deep sleep. That is, until I hear a loud crack and my eyes shoot wide open. Looking up into the face of a snakelike man. This was no ordinary man; tall and skeletally thin, skin whiter than a skull, with wide, livid scarlet eyes,and a nose that was as flats as a snakes with slit like nostrils. This was the scariest man I had ever seen. And even though I didnt know who he is, or what he was for that matter, this man sent an icy surge of terror through me, making me shiver. The man noticed I had acknowledged him. I didnt think I could get any more scared than I already was, but, I was oh so wrong.
A/N: Sorry this chapter was so short. The next chapter will be longer. I PROMISE. I update sooner when I get reviews. They motivate me. And Zara's powers will be explained in a later chapter. If you're confused, just private message me, and your questions will be answered. I will get writing on chapter 4. Well, I've already wrote it, but I'm still adding on. Have any pointers or ideas where you want the story to go? Let me know. REVIEW PLEASE.
