I know that it's been litterally FOREVER since I've posted more of my book, but it's summer now, so i will try to get more up every week, but I can't garuntee it.... But you might want to go back and read the first part, which was more of an intro, than a chapter, but we are gonna call it a chapter. lolz. So here we go!!
Lost in thought, remembering the fire, the chants, the memory, anything but a good one. Cassandra nudged my arm with her elbow. I sighed as i turned to face her. Her eyebrows were raised, an obvious question in her eyes.
"Just thinking..." I said, knowing her so well, i knew that was what she'd been wondering.
" 'Bout?"
"Stuff." I said, not wanting to speak it aloud, but she knew me as well as knew her, and she automatically knew what "stuff" was.
This is going to sound crazy, but we see the future. We have visions of what's going to happen. Both good and bad events. We are members of the world known as Touched. We were told that it was named Touched, because every member of it, are Touched with unthinkable powers. Truthfully, and honestly, we hate it. We grew up tought to shun such things, and now, we are a part of it. The complete embarrasment accompanied with these abilities is just awful. There is now other way to put it.
Mr. McElroy had put in a video about native Texas wildlife. I reached into my purse and pulled out a book and my iPod. When I turned it on, the song Gunpowder & Lead by Miranda Lambert was on. I used the light from my iPod to read in the dark Ag room. Jumping up and walking out as quickly as possible when the bell rang was a natural response, but today, we all seemed slower. I loud, low rumble of thunder made us all move a little faster, knowing that it was probably pouring outside right now, and the Ag room was in a building seperate from the main building of the school, so we would all have to walk through the rain. Oh, joy, I thought.
The rest of the day went by sluggishly. No real joy in anyone's face. A sad sight in such a usually overly happy school. When the final bell rang at the end of the day, I walked outside and got on my bus. It was only a 15 minute ride to my house, then I would be able to relax.
I got soaked walking down my dreadfully long driveway. I walked up to the covered patio, and took my boots off and set them next to the door. I unlocked the house door, and stepped in. My dog Missy, a chocolate labrador, jumped up on me. I laughed and she jumped back down.
I walked up to the third floor, and to the end of the hallway amd into my room. I grabbed a set of clean clothes, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
I came out and went to my bed and climbed under the blankets to take a nap. Maybe I would just sleep from now untill tomorrow morning, just so today would end quicker.
My dream was like a replay of the night we had found out we were a part of the Touched world. But it wasn't a dream, it was a nightmare...
That's it for now!! Lolz. Come back next Wednesday for more(hopefully). And I will be putting in a poll for the title so you guys can help me.
