Megan came to take me to a party and I was thrilled till I picked up the flyer that she brought over. The moment I touched the paper I was pulled from my room to an open space. The place had a huge billboard that was advertising something called the Luna Festival. This place looked like it was in a hill on the outskirts of our sleepy little town. There were tents on fire. There were decapitated corpses littered everywhere. People were running in different directions. Some were running for the hills. Others to their car. Some were running towards the woods. Vampires were seen laughing as they saw the people scamper here and there. They described us an insects. There was a howl and the vampires began to take a fighting stance. They got ready to fight. Wolves the size of horses came running and the vampires got ready to attack. I heard a growl and I turned to see a wolf walking towards me with like it was going to pounce. And it did. I screamed and fell backwards.
Annie shook me violently and I realized that I saw what was about to happen. I warned the girls what was going to happen. They were frightened at first but they accepted who I had become. So we decided to go shopping and watch a movie. On one of the stops to the theater we heard a woman talk about an underground nightclub. We decided that we will go there. We drove till we got to the club. The bouncer was refusing to let anyone in. I walked up to him and asked him in a calm voice, "Can you please let us in?" His eyes glazed as his eyebrows knitted, "Sure. Of course. Enjoy the party ladies" as we walked into the club Joanne was heard saying that she was with us. Annie said that she has never seen the girl her entire life. The man pushed her away and we walked into a room that was pounding music.
The girls and I danced till we felt our feet were aching. Then I walked to the refreshment and got us some water. A young man in his early twenties came and offered me a drink. I had seen enough rape cases in my trip to the city to refuse. I smiled and walked away. The man kept following till I got bored and somehow I waved my hands and he was pushed back. He didn't follow me after that. But he did give me a strange look. The girls and I parked in a booth till we felt it was getting awkward. We drove home and got some rest. I don't know what tomorrow held for me.
There was a knock on the door. Mother opened it to see a man and woman in suits. They said calmly, "Aurora is it? Good. I was wondering if we could talk?" The man tried to push his way in. I used whatever energy I had to push the door forward and pushed him back to where he was. He was surprised. I said, "Whatever you want say. Say it outside. You are not welcome here" The woman spoke trying to soothe me,"We just want to talk." I said bluntly, "Then talk. Who's stopping you. What's the point of coming inside when I am not going to invite you people in" The man sighed, "We know you have skills. We were wondering if we could recruit you" I shook my head, "As a free citizen of this country I have the right to refuse so I am not helping you. Try your luck with someone else. I have broken no law and neither has my family. I don't care what law my friends break. I am not helping you. I prefer to be free."
The man's expression darkened, "Listen young lady. We are facing uncertain times now. I think it would in everyone's best interest that you come work for us. Unless you are saying that you prefer being neutral. I can assure you that it is a huge mistake." I smiled, "Thank you for your opinion but I officially declare myself as neutral. I am not taking it back. Neutral and proud" I felt my body shake and my eyes became hot. I pulled back my sunglasses and looked up. The woman snarled, "This will come back to bite you young lady. You will regret your choice" I smiled, "The only person who regrets my choice is you people. I on the other hand feel great. Have nice day and please don't come back. I can tell you here and now that I am not going to work with you or for you for as long as I live. My life is an endless adventure that is none of your business." Then I closed the door on their faces. The man kicked the door and stormed off. The woman stared at the door angrily for a moment and walked away too. Mom was annoyed that I had treated a few official law enforcers like that. I on the other hand walked with my head held high.
I looked at the mirror and saw my eyes had changed. One eye was frost blue with a silver ring on the edge of the iris while the other eye was pitch black with a reddish yellow ring on the edge of the iris. I remembered my declaration and grimaced. Mom on the other hand told the others what had happened. I knew my brother wouldn't be happy to see me. He gave me a dirty look wanting to know what I can do. I said that I unknowingly pushed a pedophile away from me. That is all I did. Then he grimaced, "Had your gift worked yesterday I wouldn't be in this cast." I wanted to say something but I chose to keep quiet. Everyone fell silent as this news sunk in. I was supernatural.
My brother was someone who played dungeons and dragons all the time. Be was annoyed that he didn't have any powers. Mother said that I was adopted. She found me after the flood destroyed our town. She said that I was found floating on a boat. I was asleep. She knew that she wanted me so she raised me. My brother asked if he was adopted. Dad smiled, "Sorry kiddo but you are combination of your mother and me. She is adopted not you." Charlie made a face, "So she has abilities while I have none? Come on you seriously expect me to believe she is adopted and I am not" mom pulled out a home birth video and he changed his mind. He looked at me with angry eyes. I knew that we are not going to be friends anymore.
I finished breakfast and went outside. I saw the woman that wanted to talk to me waiting for me in her car. I casually walked over to my boyfriend Hunter who was on his bike. I put on my glasses and asked him if he could help me ditch the woman who is harassing me. He pulled off my glasses and jumped back in fear. But he took a deep breath and asked me to hop in. We drove till she was stuck in traffic. We stopped at the Frosty's frozen treats. He asked me to get off and explain what was going on. I told him that I had gained my abilities. He asked me why my brown eyes had turned to this. I said that I had officially declared myself neutral to get the FBI off me. Hunter looked at me and he gave me a look that said that we should go our separate ways from now on. I shook his hand and wished him well. He drove off and I called Megan. She cursed a few times. She showed her disappointment at his reaction and wished his parts would fall off. She said that she is coming to pick me up. She arrived a few minutes later and we went to the apartment she shares with her mother.
