Chapter 7
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!

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.
