Sightless 10
Hey guys...sorry it's been so long. I have really not found any inspiration or had any motivation to write these next chapters... But I'm forcing myself to, for you guys...and I don't think anybody would really mind if I just put it on ice for a while...I really need to fix my plot...soooo, yup :) I think I may keep this one on ice and work on some other stories :D So well anywayses, I'll try to write more this chapter, but I really have absolutely zero plot to put into my story without everything going too fast =\ love you guys! Oh, also, i got a request/suggestion from a certain someone (you know who you are) to put a certain someone in this certain story, so that will be coming up soon :D first one to guess who it is will earn some imaginary cookies! Now, who doesnt love cookies? :) Here we go...
June made her way through the hallways, trailing her fingers, tracing the the cracks and crevices embedded in the old walls of the school. Each one like a wrinkle, a memory, standing as a marker for June to run her smooth fingers over the top of them. As she turned a corner, she thought about what she was intending on doing. She hoped none of the teachers were following her. June reached the front doors. The glass was cool and smooth under her hand, and it fogged from the warmth radiating from it. June shoved it open roughly, and was swept up by a strong wind, blowing her flaming short hair about her face. June strode out, hoping nobody would notice her. She took a seat by an old oak tree, facing away from the direction of the wind. Wrapping her scarf tighter around her thin neck, June pulled her knees up to her chest, and hid her hands in her lap. June knew what she wanted to do. Butterflies were having a riot in her stomach, but she convinced herself that what she was about to do was too important to not try.
Reaching deep inside her self, it felt like reaching to the depths of her core, of her very soul, she drew strength. An unknown, alien power filled June up. It burned inside of her. It was like the tiny flicker of a flame, then it gradually built. Her hands cupped into a bowl shape in her lap and she willed the power to her hands.
The fire inside grew hotter, the feeling spreading up her arms and down her legs. An uncomfortable tingling sensation irritated June and she squirmed. The furnace grew to a great bonfire inside her, and June wanted to cry out. It had to stop soon, or it would burn her up. A small, humming blue ball of energy appeared in the hands of the girl and emitted a shrill whizzing sound before June suddenly jerked, as if hit by lightning, and cried out.
Images flooded into her vision. It was the strangest sensation. not quite like seeing, she saw vague outlines of the world around her. Glowing silhouettes of the trees in the forest. Humanoid figures, like ghosts, a distance away. She could...almost see.
June shrieked and suddenly collapsed from the strain of the power. Her body hit the ground in an all too familiar sensation. She gasped, trying to catch her breath. She was heaving like she had run a marathon. June's head felt like it had been whacked with a baseball bat. Her hands dug into the moist ground, tearing up plant roots as she tried to get a hold of herself. She realized other people on the grounds could have heard her. June struggled to stand, and shimmied her way up the trunk of the tree for a few more moments of privacy before she could think again and make a proper analysis on what had happened to her.
How could she have...done that? Her power was starting to really frighten her. She could have killed someone.
Is that what Jeremy was looking for, the power June felt under her skin? As if she could control the whole universe with a flick of the wrist. And perhaps June could. She could control everyone. Realizing herself, She shoved aside the thoughts, stroking the blemishes on the back of her hands, the hideous scars that reminded her just what that sort of power could do. What it had done to her. Done to her family. Scars inflicted on innocent people. Scars inflicted by June herself.
Jeez. Sorry guys this is a really suckish chapter. It was written at, like, two in the morning. But hey, I have a few more chapters lined up after this one, prewritten. I'll probably work on them more and upload them soon. Hmm, this chapter was short as well :/ sorry guys. But please review! I looooove the reviews :D
