I was afraid and speechless, I looked outside the window to see if anyone had thrown it in, but there was no one out there, I moved closer to the medallion, and Bent down to pick it up, my door bashed open, I was afraid because I knew my mum locked the door before leaving, I jumped back to my bed shaking vigorously, “what, did you do this time,” I heard my mum's voice say, I was relieved at least it wasn't a ghost as I earlier presumed. I stood up still shaking, I looked at my mum, she looked really pale, like someone who had been sick for days, I immediately knew what was wrong with her, she slapped me earlier today.
“mum, am really sorry”. I said moving closer to her, I grabbed her hand, it was really cold, I blame myself for that, I made her beat me,I stared at her eyes, it was very weak, she retracted looking at the pieces of glass littered on the floor, I gulped in hard, ready to defend myself, but she held my lips then looking at the medallion again she asked with a smile on her face, “it came back to you right,” how did she know?, I asked my self as I nodded in agreement. “am sorry baby,I shouldn't have slap you”. she said and it really touched me, i pecked her, it felt like something left me, I looked at her cheek, it was shining blue, just like me, in a matter of sconds it began to spread from her cheek, down to her neck and still moving, not long after she was also radiating blue, she was glowing rather too much when suddenly a beam of blue light left her body and she fell down unconscious.
Few minutes have passed and my mum is still recovering her pale face and thin cheeks have cleared, she opened her eyes and smiled at me, I chuckled, “you have to sleep it's almost dusk”, my mom said calmly to me, I immediately climbed into the bed and lay next to her. I could see her face vividly.
My name is Jemma waltz, I was born in a hill country in Southern Scotland known as silver-stones. Silver-stones is a beautiful village on top of a mountain, our main source of water is a crystal river that forms a tangent to the east of the foot of the mountain. Going down the mountain was pretty exhausting, but every young girl of silver stone must get used to it as it was a normal routine for young girls to go down the hill to fetch water from the river. Our men were mostly hunters and fishermen while most of our women were traders whom usually sell fish at the city some five miles from the foot of the mountain I also school at saint Martinez high school there in the city and so does Eddie. I am currently in grade six while Eddie is in basic three.
Now about me. It was really hard being so different in the most awesome of ways, being so unique, so popular potentially, yet being a secret. You see, among other things that made me think myself less a human than any other I have green eyes that glow at night, a very white skin with a few blue veins that also glows but rather blue at night and for some reasons I think my veins are the source of my body's blue lumination. I also have pretty long ears that have a quite pointed edge, extremely long hairs and I have never fallen sick since birth.
I was made to wear long sleeve clothes and hoods to school even in the hottest Autumn in other to cover my ears and veins so as to not draw much attention. I am a brunnet. My father was an astronaut according to mum, he left when I was six and never returned, I couldn't ask mama how.eddie came about since papa had left quite long ago before Eddie was born. I am quite temperamental, and people who hurt me somehow get double of the pain they inflict, like in the case of my mom. My adventure started at the age of sixteen.
Jonny the bully was determined to give me a piece of trouble. "What do you say wierdo, kiss me or get beaten up by me" he said sounding much like the devil, his boys giggled. He had me cornered at the edge of the restroom corridor and was coming closer to me. "You done know what you are getting yourself into Jonny, let me be" I said, I was confident in my wierdo stuff but I was scared still, he giggled, " you Know what i think Jemma, I think you are a lesbian , you are not interested in guys, I mean you are in grade six and you never had a boyfriend? That ends now bitch" he said and pushed me against the wall. He really got me annoyed saying those. He made to kiss me and I slapped his left cheek. I made to run away because I knew I was in real big trouble. No one slaps Jonny and goes Scot free, his father is the principal so he never gets a detention even when he deserves one. His boys blocked my way. I felt him grip my hand , "oh shit" I muttered. He turned me around rather too roughly and kissed my lips, I froze, the next thing I got from him was a slap. "You shouldn't have done that" I said sternly, my veins were beginning to glow.
