Confronting Memories Part 1

I was screaming, falling into the deep, dark hole. The wind was messing up my hair and making my eyes water. I could barely see let alone keep my eyes open. I closed them and continued screaming.
As I was screaming, my hands slipped around a ledge from the walls. I held on, ruining my perfect manicure. I know, I know. What's more important? My manicure or my life?
"Terra?"
"I'm OK! But get help! I can't hold on for long!" I shouted.
A rope slithered down the hole. I tried grabbing it but I couldn't reach. Taking a deep breath, I took a leap and grabbed the rope, sliding down a few metres.
"I got the rope!" I shouted gleefully.
They began pulling me up and I grinned happily. I was safe…for now.

"Are you OK Terra?" my date asked nervously as we arrived at my home.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I said smiling. "Thanks for walking me home."
"OK. See ya at school on Monday."
He disappeared into the dark night. I walked into my house only to be greeted by my parents.
"Oh Terra!" my mother sobbed. "We heard what happened at the school! Are you OK?"
"Yeah mum," I said. "I'm just a bit dirty."
I quickly hid my deep grazes on my hand. "I'm going to shower now, OK?"
After a hot shower, I headed straight to my room. I sat down on my bed and took a silver hair clip. It belonged to my grandmother. It was beautiful. It as shaped like a butterfly. My mother told me to only use it on special occasions. That's why I never wear it.

After the little incident, my parents grew a tad over overprotective. They were constantly monitoring me and calling me. It was embarrassing, but my friends were worried too. They didn't want me to die. My parents sent me to bed at 8:30 PM and my friends were always escorting me. I yearned for freedom.
One night, I had had enough. I slipped into my favourite blue denim shorts, a light grey long sleeved shirt and a dark grey crop top with black sleeves. I opened my bedroom window and slipped out, landing on the ground.
I headed downtown and into a dark alley. My heart was thumping loudly and the only sound I could hear was the thumping of my heart.
"Yo kid."
I spun around and saw a spiky haired boy smoking.
"Whatcha you doing here?" he said dropping the cigarette on the ground and smothering it with his heavy black boot.
"Hiding," I replied leaning against the cold brick building behind me. "Parents are driving me crazy," I added. "Ditto with my friends." I shook my head. "Got anywhere I can crash for the night? I'm not going back."
The boy grinned, revealing yellow teeth. "Love to kid, but you're going to have to past an uh…initiation first."
"OK," I replied naively. "What do I have to do?"
"See that liqueur store across the street?" I nodded. "Well, the dude there reckons my friends and I caused some trouble and we can't get our beer anymore. Think you can get some for us?"
"But I don't have any money!" I protested.
"So?"
"Wait…wait…you want me to steal it?" I cried heading back onto the street.
"I'm not asking you to kill anyone!" the boy said walking towards me.
"Stay back!" I shouted. "I've got a weapon."
The boy gave a bark of a laugh and reached into his back pocket and took out a gun.
I gave a scream and dove onto the road. From darkness, all I could suddenly see was light. I turned my head and my eyes widened as a truck was heading straight for me!

Author's Notes: I really have no idea how Terra got her powers. I'm just making it up as I go along. This is all how I think she got her powers. If anyone knows how she really got her powers, could you please tell me?
By the way, this whole chapter is like a past.
