Chapter 4:
The memories still came flooding. Even after I knew what happened to Lukas.
I couldn't control them. As much as I wanted to help him The memories
seemed to be causing a searing pain throbbing inside me. I felt like I was
going to die. Die from the memories that would never cease to stop. I
couldn't see, but I could feel. I could feel Ethan standing over Lukas.
Laughing. Laughing like he's never laughed before. Laughing at the murder
of his son. I couldn't take anymore. I couldn't stand Ethan Grisham
laughing at his son. Couldn't stand the thought of Lukas dying without me
beside him, helping. I had had enough. I felt a whisper in my ear. You
posess a great power within you. Unleash it. Set it free. The whispering
wouldn't stop either. It seemed like all I could do was shake violently,
hands covering my face, seeing memories and hearing words that seemed
unspoken.
Finally, I let out a long scream. My scream didn't even sound like it belonged to me. Something seemed so different about me. As I screamed, I started feeling the changes. Changes that would stay with me forever. Not only did they happen in my mind, but physical appearances also. I kept screaming and screaming until I was able to open my eyes. My vision, blurred, started comin back into focus. I saw Ethan stare in disbelief. As if he could see the changes that took me over. And as if he just figured out that I was worth more then he thought.
I stopped screaming for just a moment as I continued to hear the whispering. You posess a great power within you. Unleash it. Set it free. You posess a great power within you. Unleash it. Set it free. You posess a great power within you. Unleash it. Set it free. How? I thought. How am I supposed to unleash it? Have I done so already? Ethan turned to me, as if he were going to say something. I got up to my feet. feeling energized and more powerful then ever. Ethan backed away. He looked at his sword and then to me. Angrily, he pointed it to me. "I'll kill you if I have to!" he shouted. He was afraid. I could see it as well as I could feel it. The changes I went through. They made my senses more stronger. If only I knew more of the power I posess.
I clenched and un-clenched my small fists. My anger was seeping through me. Whatever doesn't kill me only makes me stronger. Ethan lifted his sword up, ready to strike me. He seemed ecstatic that he was finally going to kill me. But I wouldn't let him have his way that easy. I stared at the sword. Willing it to fall out of his hands. I was running out of time. The sword didn't budge. I must not have those kind of powers! Oh but what powers do I have? I bit my lip and shut my eyes. I felt a small glow. A beautiful small warm glow.
Ethaan jumped back asif he were spooked. "What's happening?" he asked, looking all around him. I opened one of my eyes to see him swatting at something. I didn't see anything but he seemed to be seeing plenty. "What have you done?" he screamed. He swatted his legs and his arms and finally dropped the sword. Quickly, I picked up the sowrd. "Leave." I pointed the sword at the door. "Or what? You'll kill me? I doubt very much that you will. However. I shall play your little game." He replied, still swatting at himself.
"Whatever you just did to me. You will get back ten times worse. I will see to it!" He screamed and staggered out of the house. I couldn't help but laugh. Me laugh? I haven't laughed in years! Ethan Grisham has once seemed so stong and so evil. Yet, he just looked as helpless as ever. "Good job, Zoe I knew you could do it." A voice congratulated. Shocked, I turned around. I dropped the sword in awe and smiled warmly.
