Blurb Analia De'Nille was a very peculiar child right from birth. She was given birth to on a still night. Even after just coming into the world, the baby did not let out a single cry. She blinked and opened her eyes, and the midwife saw shocking grey eyes that resembled a storm for a newborn to have. The baby looked up at the woman with too clear eyes, sighed, and went back to sleep content. It did not seem like this child was going to live a normal life. Everything about her was far from normal. On her first birthday, she spoke her first words, to the shock of her parents. "war" She continued to play with her presents even as she kept repeating the word that strikes fear into most. Her mom, the ever-worrying parent, carried her and tried to coax the child into explaining. In her fear and shock, she completely forgot that it was not normal for a child at that age to say words, much less full sentences. Her parents tried to understand the enigma their daughter was, but to no avail. Six months before her second birthday, she got up from the blocks of toys she had arranged as armies on the floor of her nursery and moved to pick up the block at the other end of the room. No one was there to see her do what should have been impossible at that age, but on her second birthday, she walked again to a cup of punch that was on the table right beside the big happy second birthday cake. Her parents, shocked again by another impossible feat but not all that surprised, began to try to explain what happened to the guest. The excuse was that she was just a very fast developer. That seemed to ease their minds, but her parents were still concerned. Years later, after several abnormal incidences, her parents finally came to terms with the fact that their painstakingly beautiful daughter, with her deep red hair that looked scarlet in particular light and stormy grey eyes, was not normal. She was special. But they were at a loss for what to do. When she was 10 years old, she woke up in the night screaming and thrashing on the bed, fighting off whatever she was dreaming about. Her mother rushed to her room in panic, and when she looked at the child, she knew what she had to do.
Eloise's p.o.v
I woke with a gasp.Sweat covered my body from head to toe."It's just a dream." I mumbled to myself, trying to shake off the dreadful feeling I had.
The dreams started to become more frequent when I turned fifteen.
My mom tried all she could to make me believe that it was nothing, but at some point around that age, she couldn't hide it much longer.
∆∆flashback∆
"Mum!!! I had yelled, running into her room with so much fear, "Mum, mom." "I had a dream again," I said, running into my mom's room with so much panic."Honey, it's just a dream."
"Come on," she tried to coax me, just like she always did."No!" I yelled out, still in panic. "It's not nothing."
You always say that.
I saw the blood. Dad was pale! You were bleeding out! And there was nothing I could do about it.
There was war, mom! There was war! My voice was breaking with each sentence."And then... and then." I started to hyperventilate. Everything started to get blurry."Calm down." I felt my dad's hand around me in a calming manner.
"It's okay, bunny. "Dad's here." I clung to him, taking deep breaths. It was that night that my mom told me who I was.A seer.I was numb.
I thought I always had a weird medical condition that made me have weird dreams.
What was even more shocking was that my mom was a witch.Or an ex-witch. Something about giving up her powers for my dad"One thing, love," my mom said with her thick British accent as she pushed my hair to the side. As she looked deep into my eyes.
"Stay away from supernaturals." Of any kind. " She never told me why, and I never dared ask.
I was too scared to know the reason why. All I knew was that flash back overThe notification on my phone snapped me out of my thoughts as I dressed to go to work.
I slipped on my contacts and wore my wig. This was my life. I could not go out how I wanted.
My mom was always so paranoid.She thought my eyes were too gray. I would be noticed as a seer immediately, and I would be killed on sight.
My hair was another feature that could not be hidden. It was a prominent feature among seers.
But then again, there weren't many of them to begin with, mainly because they were killed before they even got the chance to find out who they really were.
"Mum, I'm off to work!" I yelled as I hurriedly left the house after getting another notification from Anna, my best friend, threatening me with how she was going to leave me to walk to work if I wasted one more moment of her time.
"Take care, bunny," my dad answered as I walked out the door.I never owned a car.It happened when I was sixteen.
I had a vision of me driving, and then I was off. I stood at the end of the cliff, screaming for help.
The vision was not clear, but it became more and more vivid each time I sat in the driver's seat of a car.
It became terrifying, so I decided it was not worth it."There you are, bitch!" Anna screamed from the other side of the road, inside her white Toyota Camry.
"Hello to you too, love," I said as I entered the car. "Do you know how long I waited for you?" "I swear I saw the apocalypse and the world end as I waited for you," she said. I rolled my eyes at how dramatic she was being.
"Can we just get moving?" I rolled my eyes at her. She handed me a cup of coffee, which I was grateful for.A perfect way to start the day.
I moaned a bit as the taste of caffeine hit my taste buds."Careful. "I don't want to clean up cologne from my car seat!" she squealed."Anna!" I looked at her with wide eyes.
I have known Anna since my school days, when I moved here. She had a potty mouth. It was a mystery how we both got along."I am just saying!" she laughed, pulling her hair back as she laughed."Just drive!" I growled.
Anna was human. She was my very first friend when I moved here. I was bullied a lot because people saw me as weird, but she always stood up for me.She had brown eyes and brown, almost dark eyes. She looked "normal and not fun," as she liked to call herself.
But I saw quite the opposite. What she didn't have in looks, she made up for in character, and honestly, it was best that way.
At least she knew that she was not being chased after by guys for her looks.At this thought, my mood dropped."Don't tell me you're thinking of George."
Anna cut into my thoughts."What?" "What would make you think that?""You heaved a deep sigh, you looked out the window, and your voice went up a notch when I asked," she smirked.
Sometimes, I really hated the fact that she knew too much about me."Pfftttttt... no, I wasn't." I looked away.
"Yes, you are, Ely, but seriously, he wasn't worth it." You'll find someone better. "Trust me," she said, giving me a sad gaze. Well, as much as she could while she was driving."Plusssss," she said, wiggling her brows.
"You have a date tonight!" she squealed."I don't want to go," I said, looking away. I wanted George. Who was my high school sweetheart? I wanted him to sweep me off my feet, as he promised me.
He promised to always be there for me.
"You can't still be saying that! He cheated on you! "He doesn't deserve you." Anna tried to reason. He cheated on me with his supposed "cousin," and any normal person would want nothing to do with him.
But I wanted it so damn badly to be a joke. There must be a reasonable explanation. I told myself that."I know Anna. But you don't know him like I do.
The way he smiled and how he broke down when his family threw him out-I was there.
I saw the vulnerable side of him. I can't just..." I had to take a deep breath so that I wouldn't break down in tears.
There was no way I was going to let my contacts fall out now and risk being asked questions, nor was I going to let my makeup get smeared.
"Well, you know who else saw him vulnerable?" His cousin! It was obvious she was starting to get pissed, and for very good reasons.
"You know what? You would go on this date." At least loosen up a little. All I am asking is to have a little fun; anyone who knew Anna knew not to argue with her.
For peace's sake.So, I just kept quiet and let the silence flow between us as she drove us to the office.
