Ch. 3

I might only have part of this chapter up or a while. (Just like chapter two. If you haven't seen the final draft yet, it's there.)

Elijah

She hears one sound that is close to human and she starts running.

It's probably some weird bird. 

Chances are I won't find her again. She seems to have some sort of super-speed. Maybe I can hear people's voices if I get close to any of them.

Oh would you look at that. Voices and an opening in the forest. How very convenient. Three people stood in the middle of said clearing. I stayed hidden in the shadow of the trees, just in case. 

Two of them were wearing black. I could only see their backs, but one of them had brown wavy hair, and the other had bright red hair (when I say bright red I am not exaggerating). The third and final girl, who was chatting away happily to the other two was Skylar. The purple-haired tall one. (Dying her hair to feel rebellious. Ridiculous.)

I stepped out, doing everything I could to make a scene. 

"Hello everyone!" I announced, bowing. I stood straight up and continued, "You may have heard of me from dearest Sky here" I gestured to her. "If not, I am known as Elijah the magnificent. Your Highness if you prefer. I can read your minds and see your memories and- oh Rachel the language. You must watch yourself-"

"Shhhh, child. The adults are talking. Go sit down." Skylar said, walking towards me. She patted my head, and gestured for me to sit down on the edge of the clearing.

Now I can't just let this happen.

I was tempted to make her cater to my every whim, but that would be extremely cruel. 

So I just made Skylar walk back to her spot in the little group we had, her expression showing confusion.

"What was that?" Skylar asked

"That was me controlling your mind. I have done it twice now." I replied. It was only fair to give her an explanation. Maybe she would believe me now.

The red-haired one, Adeline, stepped away from me.

"He's creeping me out" she thought.

"I'm not going to hurt you Adeline!" I assured her. 

"How do you know my name?" Adeline asked.

"I thought I explained this." I replied, "I can read minds."

"Oh, right. I wasn't really paying attention to what you were saying it all kinda cam out like," she made a noise almost resembling a trumpet. She must have been doing the whole "Charlie Brown parent" thing.

How rude.

shut up. I thought to adeline.

She closed her mouth and looked shocked. She kept trying to speak, but to no avail.

sit down. I continued

She sat down, looking at me with shock and anger.

There we go.

"Anyway, I can read and control minds, Skylar here can run at super speed, Rachel has telekinesis, and Adeline can remember everything. Better not piss her off." I said

"What." Skylar both thought and said.

"We have a lot to explain to you, dear" Rachel sarcastically mumbled and patted Skylar on the head.

"Whoah! Don't touch me! I don't even know you!" Skylar replied.

she doesn't remember me? Rachel thought angrily. What? I went into a memory she was thinking of:

It was during the night time. The sky was thick with dark grey clouds. Hardly visible, but still there. Street lamps were the only thing illuminating the way. There was someone in front of me. Colors would really help me right now, but they seem to escape my vision from the night. The silhouette of that person had long messy hair, and seemed to be holding something. He or she could be the personification of Rachel's fears. That might not be true, because I don't think having someone not remember you is a huge fear.

At least for most people.

The person turned around, and I backed away for a moment, thinking she could see me. Then I remembered, I'm in a memory. They couldn't see me. I didn't get a good look at the person's face, and that kind of ticked me off.

Who is this person, and why are they holding a child?

The stranger ran up to a large house. It was brick, as most houses were around it. Maybe the stranger was the mother?

I kept following. I wanted to know who the person was. I kept trying to catch up, but there was always something blocking my way.

She came up to the doorstep, knocked on it, put the baby on the ground, then ran the other way. I followed once again, and finally saw her face when we got out of sight of the house. It took me a few times to really understand what was there.

It was Rachel.

I rushed out of the memory and thought, holy crap it's Harry Potter all over again.
