Chaptor two -Another star blinks out
From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart and joy at the same tone;
And all that I loved, I loved alone.
"Alone"
Edgar Allan Poe
'I've known for a long time that I'm not normal. Maybe the cause is my family, or maybe I was meant to be this way, always dreaming. I think the biggest possibility is that...Spanaway, Washington, is the most boring place on Earth. It's a small place that practicaly no one's ever heard of. But I suppose that's beside the point.
The point I'm trying to make is that I'm not a normal 16 year old girl. I suppose there is no real 'normal' teenager in the world, but if you're one of the steriotypes, then I'm far from normal. Even the goths hate me. Guess I'm too abnormal for the. Then again, most girls can't levitate.
The thing is, I'm a punk tomboy, who's always been depressed, always been outcasted, and has some freaky deaky powers. I've no idea where they came from, they're just there. To be honest, I wouldn't know if it came from a family inheritance.
My mom died when I was 5. My dad's been beating me since. He's just been recently thrown in jail for the possesion, use, and selling of coccain. (sp?) Big surprise? NOT.
So now I've been thrown into some dump they labled an orphanage. (More like an animal shelter for rats. There's tons of 'em. Annoying little buggers, even if they are adorable.)
It's strange really, I feel like somethings going to happen. Something big, bad, devistating, and wonderful, all at the same time! Maybe it's an earthquake...heh. My humor's sad, yeah? Maybe it's just 'cuz I'm not used to wrighting things (thoughts, feelings and all that other crap.) into a little book.
Maybe I'm just insane. '
Jaden closed her tattered black book, that was usually used for poetry or doodles, and sighed heavily. She knew something was going to happen, but what?
The chains on her baggy black pants clanged together as she tromped down the hall to breakfast. Her black fishnet covered arm snaked it's way up to fix the strap of her velvet black tank top that proclaimed, 'Nevermore' in a loopy purple scrawl. The stunning ruby eyes of her silver raven pendant gleamed in the dim morning light, as did the fang that protruded over her blood red lower lip. She'd always had her fangs, she figured they were an inheretance...or a birth deffect. She flipped a piece of her short, spikey, chocolate brown hair out of her face. Today would be like any other day, full of ridicule, anger, and rejection by couples looking for kids. 'Stupid orphanage. I was doing fine on my own, pick-pocketing or not...' her thoughts broke off as she realizied that...SHE WAS WALKING INTO A BLACK HOLE!
'What the hell! There's not supposed to be a gaping black hole there, that's where the nasty ass cafeteria supposed to be!' Jaden thought in horror, watching the swirling black mass that had invaded the orphanage's cafeteria.
"Give in to the darkness!"
"What the! Who are you!"
"Be one with the darkness, only then can you acheive true strength!"
"Knock it off! Whoever you are, you're really creeping me out! If this is just some joke one of you are trying to pull it's not..."
"GIVE IN! LET YOUR POWER AWAKEN! JOIN ME IN THE PATH OF DESTRUCTION! CHOOSE YOUR KEYBLADE! OPEN THE DOOR CREED!"
"STOP IT!" Jaden screamed, clutching her head as intense pain went through it.
"WHAT'S GOING ON, TELL ME! WHO ARE YOU, WHO'S CREED, AND WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THIS DOOR!"
"CHOOSE NOW, GIRL. THE KEYBLADE TO UNLOCK PEOPLE'S HEARTS, OR THE KEYBLADE OF CHAOS AND LIGHT!"
"N..no more... I'M SICK OF LIVING IN THE DARK!"
A white light began to form around Jaden. Her dark brown hair grew longer, her ears pointed like an elfs, her eyes closed tight. Her clothes dissolved and beams of light formed a billowing white cotton dress that went down to her knees, a see through gold material formed flower like sleeves and long ruffles along the bottom of her dress. (I'm obsessed with clothes... ) A white bow with gold trim pulled her hair out of her face and a pair of flat white shoes formed over her feet.
Jaden's eyes shot open, revieling them to be molten gold.
"You...You do not controle me. You have no power over me. I won't...I'm sick of... I...I REFUSE TO BE A SLAVE TO THE DARKNESS!" Jaden's eyes glowed and light burst from her body, banishing all the darkness, and leaving her in a light, floating...floating almost endlessly...
Then-in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain.
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In it's autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.
"Alone"
Edgar Allan Poe
