Chapter 3-Gasping for air

Flashback

"Get the F***k up" was all I heard before I hit the floor in a loud thump. Then, the next thing I know I was being stepped on, knocking all the air out of me. My little sister laughs at my barely conscious form while still standing on me.

End Flashback

I woke up gasping, trying to fill my greedy lungs with air. As soon as I calmed down, I look to my alarm clock and let out a startled squeak as I take in my surroundings. When I didn't recognize the room I was in I begin to panic. I always hyperventilate when in shocked. Then, like being hit with a pile of bricks it all came back to me. Just like how it always does. I had to blink hard to keep the tears at bay. 'She's okay,' I recite to myself.

I made my decision that I was going to venture out in the Washington area. I couldn't sit here and let the memories turn me numb. That's not how I'm supposed to move on. I have a mission.

Hopping out of bed, I grabbed my bag of toiletries and crept into the hallway. There were two other doors in the hallway so I guessed the one in the middle was the bathroom.

"Ha" I accidently whoop aloud even adding a perfect fist pump.

I swiftly take in my surroundings expecting Chief Swan to be there ready to question my sanity. When it was all clear I crept into the bathroom and silently shut the door behind me. When I turn I am face to face with myself in the mirror.

'Let the bashing begin,' I think disgusted. I can't even look at myself without seeing flaw.

My rich bronze skin is now pale and lifeless. My once thick wavy hair is now tied up hidden from any memories of a certain someone with the same hair. My once bright emerald green eyes are now dull compares to the charm around my neck.

…the…charm…..

I hurriedly unclasp the charm and throw it into my bag. Then jump into the shower to get rid of last nights sleep. I crept out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel, I close the door behind me to take a real took around the room I'm staying in. It was facing the front yard with yellow lace curtains around the screen-less, bar-less window. As I glanced around I took in the light blue walls and hardwood floors, desk, and an old school computer.

Plain, I think, but it'll do.

I toss my bag back in the rocking chair and scramble for something to wear. I slowly got dressed in the typical tee, skinnies and converse. Then to make up fore lost time I jet out of the room and thunder down the stairs.

What can I say; I'm still technically a kid. Run into the bright yellow cabinet kitchen and find a note from Chief Swan.

"Stay out of trouble and have fun. -C" was scrawled in his hurried chicken scratch.

"Aww, he cares" I voice slightly choked up. I hurry out of the house, keys in hand, and hop in my car before I break down.

Today is a sunny day in….. Forks, right. I drive with the windows down and the music blasting out of my Mustang GT500. Yea I know; you don't have to say it. I don't how long I've been driving or how many times I've been going in the wrong direction but soon I hit a beach. I look around and see many tan people walking around, having fun, and enjoying the sunny day.

This must be that Rez I heard about.

The view was beautiful.

I look away form the people and across the beach. I see a low cliff just a few meters away and huge white logs of driftwood littering the pebbly sand. The water is clear blue and the sun proudly peaks out through the clouds. I get out of my baby and slowly walk down the beach taking everything in.

Through my gazing I don't notice my company until I hear two high pitch squeals. Look down about two feet away and see two little girls playing around. I smile as I see the two girls having fun with each other running in and out of the water. My smile is whipped off my face when a mid- twenties woman calls then to them that its time to go home for dinner.

'….they're sisters …,'I admit sadly in my head.

I try to avert my attention somewhere else but all the families were too painful to watch. I looked for a quick escape and saw a little trail going up towards the cliffs. I ran for it; clawing my pay up the trail; tearing at the trees and plants in my haste.

I hit the top gasping as I grab at my neck as if it can get the oxygen back into my lungs faster.

I stumble forward and collapse at the edge of the cliff, curling in on myself. Going numb. Trying to survive myself.

"Why can't I be with my sister," I think jealously.

I heard a whimper and a rustle of trees behind me. I didn't pay any notice thought. I was too busy going numb.

Then I felt a shimmer in the air and heard steady footsteps walking strait up to me and then stop.

I suddenly shoot up into a sitting position to look up at my intruder…

And up…

And up…

And up…

I crane my neck and lean back so far that I fall flat on my back.

Soon bark brown eyes connect with my dull emerald green ones.

I'm left gasping once again for breath.
