Hi! New story but I'm still mostly working on Friends, unless this gets a decent amount of positive reviews and I might work on it a little bit more. It was kind of hard to write from first person point of view and I'm kind of new to OC so please tell me how to improve. Any- how, here goes nothing *sighs, then starts typing*
Prologue: Backstory(Warning, kinda sad. If you want skip this part and head to chapter one you can but will miss a few important details)
I wake up from the bed all scraggly. I brush my teeth and hope that today will be a good day. I miss mom. It happened when my parents were light leaping but I didn't know why. My dad said, 'everything will be alright' and 'were trying to save you' Being the age I was, what was I? Six? I didn't know heck they were talking about. Sorry, I'll try to remain calm. We light leap away from these elves but then my mom falls all of a sudden and she started losing color. Of course I didn't have a nexus at the time. She eventually turned clear and her last words were, "P-please take...put her..aw-away..." Of course I think what she meant was, "Get rid of her." My dad's mind is broken, yes you heard me, broken. Also, as a bonus all he does is drink and mutter unintelligent words and mourn for her death. Best life ever right? It's been ten years and the memory barely had an effect on me because I was little and basically didn't know the whole story. But deep down inside my fragile heart...I was beginning to feel guilty. My life sucks and it's a mess.
I sling my long brown hair which I just put my hair to my right side. I look in the mirror and I see a reflection of myself. Light glowing brown eyes, slight dark circles that are under my eyes, and my long brown hair. I don't even have any makeup on. It looks good enough...right? I head downstairs and see dad in his chair drinking a bunch of slumberry tea. He's been taking sedatives ever since and hadn't had a Bottle of Youth in a year. He said he didn't want to drink it anymore because there's no point. I look over at his face and see his deep dark circles seeping through his skin. He's in a slouched a position and grab him.
"Dad, you're going to need some sleep. You have some gigantic dark circles under your eyes."
"Meldie, let go of me." He replied. It smelled like a lifetime of slumberry tea, probably because it is.
"Dad I'm trying to help you so if you just stop holding ba-" I'm suddenly on the floor with warmth on my right cheek. I check the mirror. He slapped me. I grab my backpack and a loaf of bread as breakfast. I walk out of the house and slam shut the door. I feel tears in my eyes and I rub them away. I yell Foxfire and step into the Leapmaster.
I walk inside the huge building stuff the bread in my mouth, and head toward the study hall. I sit down in the auditorium trying to hide myself by putting the cape over my head which just made some prodigies close to me as if they didn't know what I've been through. Because they don't. They principle comes up on stage and started a speech. I listen in as a minute passed and then she suddenly announces my name, "... and please welcome Meldie Kolonial!" The spotlight suddenly flashed on me and I blocked the light as it blinded me. I looked around and noticed that one girl had brown eyes. That, was freaky as heck. But, I envy her. It looks , looks beautiful. And right in that moment. My life changed ever since ten years.
