CHAPTER 4:OUTBURST

 

 

There was a gale.I had absolutely no control over it.But I just knew I was the one to have created it.I could see the wind almost blowing over those trees and it was terrifying me.

But the thing that scared me most,is the huge chance that I had caused it.I mean,how the heck could I have gotte that kind of power?Maybe, it was that stick?I couldn't know.
Then,out of the blue,something,or maybe someone, attacked me.Sort of.The wooden wand was taken away from me by some invisible force.The wind stopped.It then became clear to me that it wasn't me,but that freaking stick!I was partly wrong,but I didn't realise it.Before I could understand what was happening, the mysterious force pushed me back,telekinetically,one could say,and I hit the back of my head against the door of my house.I thought I saw a dark figure in the woods across the street,but before I could react,I passed out.

 

. . .

 

“I am really,really looking forward to your excuses!”,my mum shouted.

I had barely even waken up and my head hurt so much.I didn't really have any excuses,so I improvised!

“Uh,I suddenly felt really hot and I got out of the house to get some fresh air!Then a strong wind blew me back in!That's it!”

“Now,why am I not bying this?”,she questioned me.

“Probably because you're smarter than I expected you to be!”,I decided to confess. “Alright,let me tell you the truth then.There was this...Oh no!”

A shiver went down my spine.The wand.WHERE-WAS-IT?That was the only thing I cared about at the moment.

I jumped off of that sofa.

“Where are you going now?”, my mum said,obviously irritated.

But I wouldn't listen!I opened the front door,and started searching all over mt garden.

There was absolutely no trace of the wand.It was just...gone!

“So?”,said my mom.

“Never mind.Forget it.”,I said and walked up the stairs going to my room as disappointed as ever...

 

. . .

 

The boy in the shadows screamed.He yelled but no-one could hear him.Symbols,burning all over his body.A curse perhaps,wondered...

The pain was really excrutiating.The sigils burnt his skin,pierced his clothes from the inside out.It was just unbearable.And then...silence.The marks turned blue in colour and initially, they faded away.

“What the...”,he said to himself.

He tried to understand.He touched one of the symbols,and, using his ability of plirokinesis,he tried to get information out of it.But the marks were so stubborn...

He reached his pocket and found the Grimoire.He opened the Book and flipped its pages as fast as he could,trying to find the Page referring to the Elemental Keys.A new entry had been added in the meanwhile,in a magical way.This had never happened before!He read it.And his suspicions were proved true.

 

. . .

 

I had been taught not to let my anger take over and cloud my judgement.This time, I lost control.

 

. ~ .

 

I woke up in the morning earlier than usual, as my alarm clock had gone nuts!I yawned,rubbed my eyes and got up.

“Are you awake ,honey?”,I heard the familiar voice of my mum coming from downstairs.

I walked down.When my mum saw me, she run towards me and hugged me.She hugged me so tightly that I could barely breathe!I have to admit that it was uncomfortable, mainly because I wasn't used to this kind of ''sweetness'' from my mother.

“Have I ever told you how much I love you?”,my mum said with a huge smile on her face.

“Mom,what drugs are you one?”,I joked.

She laughed.

But there was something eerie,something wierd about her smile.It was almost like a compound of happiness and sadness.Something was going on.And I could feel it.I could feel her sorrow,but I didn't know why...

“Uh,Mom,are you sure you're OK?”, I asked her.

“Yeah,i think so...Come,let's go eat some breakfast now!”
She remained silent for almost all the rest of the morning..And all of a sudden,I realised [only partly,but I didn't know it back then,I couldn't have imagined...] th cause of her sorrow.It was Dad's death day anniversary.I used to mourne over that loss those days,but now I have no time for this.Not anymore.I had overcome my dad's demise a long time ago.I was not in the mood of scratching old wounds.But,deep inside me,I wasn't trully that sad,if you want me to tell you the truth.You can't lose something you never had...I don't recall any time of him speaking to me.He died when I was three and a half years old.To be exact,I was exactly 40 months old{Writer's note:guys,that number is not random,note this!}.Now,it's been 11 years since then.And I only knew my dad from photographs...

With all these thoughts jumbled up in my head,the time passed and I hadn't eaten a singe thing.By the time I realised that,I took my rucksack and reached for the door,as I was going to be late for school.But my mum stopped me.She hugged me again,and jussed me in the forehead, so many times I lost count!I just couldn't figure out why she was doing this.

“And yet I repeat:Are you sure you're alright?Is there something wrong?”

“No,my love”, she said painfully.”Go now.And remember that I will always love you whatever that happens.Okay?”

“Okay...”, I answered awkwardly.I kissed her on the chick,not knowing what else to do!

I walked past the door.

It was the last time I ever saw her alive...

 

. . .

 

“You alright, Nick?”, a friend of mine asked me.

I was at school.There was a break, and I was sitting for a Geography exam the next hour.

“Yeah,it's just a bad feeling,that's all.It's probably nothing.”

But that was definately not all.I had a hunch that something bad was gonna happen.Something real bad!

The bell that rang interrupted my thoughts.I went straight towards the classroom.The Geography techer Mr. Howards greeted us and handed out the exams.He was a small,almost bald guy,approximately 1,50 meters tall, with a pair of tiny little glasses that looked like they would fall of his nose from second to second.He was pretty strict too.Bad for him,as it proved out.

When I saw the test, I froze.You see,the day he had given us the possible questions that might be on the test I was homesick,thus absent.Therefore,I called a classmate of mine and asked her.Obviously,I had made the wrong descision.She had given me only HALF of the stuff Howards had said we should study!But I only realised that when I saw the exam.I didn;t know half of the questions!I got up,seriously pissed off!

“Excuse me,Mr. Howards,sir, but I have to say something!That girl”, I said pointing my finger at the direction where my friend was, “gave me only half of the things you had told us to study!”

“Sit down!”,the teacher commanded, his voice intoning how annoyed he was.

I refused with a nod.

“I said, SIT DOWN!”.

Due to my highly increased ego and pride,I disobeyed his orders.If there is anything in this world that irritates me is being unjustified and most of all,being treated as a slave.I could simply not bear this.

“Alright then.So as you may!”.He then took a red pen,and I watched him marking my paper with a “Zero” mark.”

“Now get the hell out!”,he demanded.

Now that was the thing that triggered me!I just saw red.I was furious .So I let go of my anger.And that's what happened.

The windows shattered,and,witha crushing sound,exploded.A strong gust of wind blew.My teachers glasses broke,and a million tiny pieces of glass were thrown towards his eyeballs.He stared at me in pain.I had not idea what I was doing!I, somehow, knew that I was the one causing these things.I know it wasn't right,but it felt really good!

Nonetheless,innocent children could get hurt,so I tried to stop it,only to realise that I was unable to do so!Then all of a sudden,I felt an arrow piercing me through my heart.And I passed out for once more...
