CHAPTER 01

CHAPTER 01

The air of the forest washes over my face as I hear my name echoing through the trees around me and it almost seemed like I was been hunted.

I try to listen to the monstrous voice getting louder in my head as I looked around wondering who I had become now but then I discovered that it was me scaring myself all along.

All this was a fiction of my mind and I have been played like a scattered puzzle without a certain direction but this was all my fault at first.

"Hey, James...Ummm I'm sorry about everything because it's not you... It's Me." I paused in my voice, hating on myself for just saying that.

Then I continued.

"My parents are moving again and I tried my best to make them change their mind to keep them here so I could be with You," I said holding myself from sobbing over the phone.

"But I'm sorry James. It didn't work, so, please... Try not to look for me okay, because I don't think it would be worth the stress, I love you but I have to do this and follow my parents. goodbye!" I said sending it to him as I inhale in and exhale out with a tear rolling of my eyes as the thought of him made me sad.

My inner self laughs and I frowned.

That was all I Could muster to say into the voicemail of my now ex-boyfriend.

We've been dating ever since I knew what the word dating meant.

And now that I'm going to college...I don't even Want to Think about it. I heard my name being called by my mom.

"Lora! Come down here Honey. Your father and I want to speak to You." I heard her say in her decent voice.

I wiped the remaining tears that threaten to fall as I weaved my way through my Room stumbling on some of the things  I had stacked on the floor.

I used the handle of our staircase to slide down and got down the stairs in a flash as I headed to answer the request of my mother.

I walked forward to meet my mothers' open arms as she hugged me lovingly before I let go.

We walked into our massive living room with all the things that sparkle in it.

I meet my dad pacing as he anxiously waited for me and my mom to show up.

Immediately we showed up, my dad stopped and sat down while my mom massaged my back as we sat opposite him. After a short while, he finally took a deep breath and spoke up.

"Lora, I know this is not comfortable for you and you probably hate me for this. But don't please... I'm trying to do this for your good." He says a person in his voice like he was trying to take a breath.

"For the good of you and your mom, I love you both so much and I want what's best for you because that is the only thing that can make me happy, cause I know when you finally discovered who you are... Things will become better before you and for the family as well." He says looking at me.

"What going on dad? Aren't you coming with us? You know we need you!" I said to him just to see his lips shake in that same way.

The weird way.

I was sure it meant that he was not in the right state of mind and wished he could tell me... No?

"No, I wouldn't be coming with you but I will send my most trusted advisor to be your escort." He says looking elsewhere.

"But dad!... You said." I interrupted.

"I know what I said honey but things change and I can't be with you... At least not yet. But I promise to call you every night before bed Time and you must promise me that you wouldn't use your powers to cause any troubles ok?" he says holding my hands.

I honestly wasn't cool with this but they weren't much I could do about it.

My dad was a ruthless Billionaire of the Northern borders of Los Angeles.

Who happens to have a daughter gifted with powers that they have kept a secret for so many years.

And I, his only soon-to-be 18-year-old  daughter have to live with different bodyguards on her tail every time.

Honestly, I am half happy that I am leaving Los Angeles at least... I would not have to deal with people giving me weird stares as hefty-looking bodyguards Follow me every time.

"Okay. I won't use my powers to cause troubles but will use it only when I need to." I replied to my father and he smiles.

I was sad.

Sad that my beloved daddy wasn't coming with me to New York, said that my beloved dad wasn't going to be there, though in my early years in college of education.

Sad that my beloved daddy isn't going to have that peaceful and quiet life he truly desires because of his day-to-day activities and character.

"I know your sad and I'm sad too but I am hoping to pull off one last one and close this deal before I come to join you in New York to live a quiet life," he says.

"Yes daddy, that is exactly what I want you to do because you know, you are getting older," I added

"For you to keep on working doesn't seem healthy for you, like common, you have made all the money in the world... or maybe you still want some more," I said smiling.

"That's my Lora bear." He replies.

So it's true! Wow.

With that we Both stood up to give each other a bear hug and a few minutes later my mom came to join in to complete the family group hug.

But then, It started again.

My powers had become active.

And I was about to rung off before my mum grabs me injecting me.

I was staring at the glass window.

"Calm down Lora, Daddy is here... Just try to control your powers." My father said as I tried to free myself of my powers.

I and everyone inside looked at how I had used my powers to turn my father's Benz and range rovers upside down in the air.

All the cars I had levitated up into the air landed back to the ground as I freed myself from the trance.

All the cars outside began alarming.

"This is why you need to go to New York, you have to learn how to control your powers, you're really special my child and we have to know what gifts the universe has given to you." my father says in return as he hugs me.

And my mum hugs me from behind too.

I'd learn how to.

I promise I would learn my abilities.

I looked at the sky through the glass wall to see the sky thundering hard before I looked into my palms to see something that freaked me out.

It's Lighting forming over my hand.
