The Child of the Prophecy, Chapter Ten
'Oh great fire, let your wisdom come to me. I call forth your power, teach me what I wish to know.' The flames in the great fire flickered and then rose up. After a moment the magnitude of the flames, they sputtered and died. The priestess sat there, transfixed. The flames of the great fire had never before gone out. And this was not some fire that could be replaced. It had burnt for centuries and each carer of it kept it alive. Her turn had come and then she had failed. She had been the cause of its departure. Her curiosity about her close friend had caused her to break an unwritten law. She was grieved for this and it added to the pain that was inside of her.
'Osmosis is the movement of water particles from an area of low concentration into an area of high concentration via a semi-permeable membrane. No! Wait! That isn't right. It's the other way round. From high to low. God what is wrong with me? I can't get a single question right straight away.' The genius looked at her homework and through her pencil down and she just sat there, wondering what was wrong with her. She couldn't understand it and she wasn't confused or wondering about herself. It was the one that could make the sun shine even on a cloudy day.
'Add 200 grams of flour, 2 eggs, little bit of milk and whisk into a smooth paste. .. All right, smooth paste, now what? Oh right, add one pint of milk and whisk until it is a thin batter. Then add a bit of the batter into a hot oiled pan and turn when cooked.' The teenage chef looked at the recipe that she was following and then into the pan. *Why isn't this making me feel better? Cooking always makes me feel better, and I'm making her favourite.* She thought to herself and sorrow took her heart and caused silent tears to gently run down her face.
*Why didn't I feel it? I've been in the same room as them when together, they kept their distance from each other, they fought together but whenever they had been forced to hold close to each other, they looked distressed. It is so obvious! I should have realised, it's my job!* And this girl looked at the volleyball in her arms and realised that she was failing her friends who were calling for her to wake up. She knew she had to stop this failing attitude and think, but she couldn't, the team was losing the fight and it wasn't just the one team. It was the team that she was captain of, the high school volley ball girls. It was cutting her up and she couldn't stop it.
*I directly disobeyed her, she didn't even want me to speak to him, I shouldn't have! She could hardly speak after I told her. She loves him more than he deserves but she wouldn't unless he felt the same way, that deeply. When they are together before, it was obvious; they loved each other more than anything. It wasn't one way, but both ways. What has changed? The baby? It would make sense, but he wouldn't act and say that. Even though she wasn't there, he still wouldn't have said it. He can't have known but why doesn't she tell him? I'm so confused and don't know where to turn.*
*I wish she hadn't of done it. It was a direct disobeyment. And how could he be so cruel? It hasn't like him. He never did that sort of thing, he was always a gentlemen.* It tormented her to see them all in the way that they were. It wasn't just three people that were on her mind, but two more. One who seemed to be thinking about something all the time and drifting away from her and the other was becoming more mysterious with her, the way she was with the others.
I thought the scouts should be involved bit more (that was them thinking if u didn't already know!) also, I don't want to rite about the death and destruction bit until I hear what u think about it. Sorry, I do this with my friends and so I have earned the title: the writer of morbid tales! Gr8 isn't it!
