I was wondering last night... How can you guys tell whose POV the chapter is in? Then it hit me. Alex talks funny. ^^
I wasn't sure I liked what I was hearing from this Elizabeth chick. I mean, isn't it a bit much for a bunch of teenagers to defend themselves and the human race against evil-incarnate? I mean, it's okay for those of us with these Endows, these superpowers. But what about people like me? What on earth do we have to work with? Right. An "inner light." Big whoop.
After a few more minutes of trying to explain it all, she just stopped talking and looked right at me. I wasn't sure what she was doing. She just… I don't know, stared at me for a minute. She seemed like she was concentrating, or something. But then I realized what she was doing, because I could see it. A light in her eyes that wasn't just a reflection. I could actually see her inner light.
She caught the look of amazement on my face and grinned, saying, "You can see it, can't you? I can see yours. It's actually pretty bright. I'm surprised you can't feel it yet."
I wasn't sure what she'd meant, even after Nathanael took me home. It was weird, for one thing, to even think about. I mean, Elizabeth started telling me about the whole "this little light of mine" thing. Why couldn't she just finish explaining it to me? Was it seriously so hard to explain that I had to figure it out for myself?
I almost mentioned something about it to my parents that night, but I figured that if I hadn't heard about it before, it would be best to just keep my parents ignorant.
Sorry this is so short. I'm trying to make longer chapters, but it's been crazy trying to write this thing. If you've read my other fanfics, you'd notice this fanfic is WAAAYY different from my others.
Please review!
