C4 ~Things Come to Life~
Olivia is in shock and cleaning, trying to wrap her mind around what happened. Trying to ignore the whispers or warning, "run...run...go!" She stays and continues to clean.
Her heart drops as the door flies off of the hinges in an unnatural and supernatural way. She whips her head in the direction and sees an angry Abigail. Fear consumes Olivia, she's never seen Abigail so mad.
"What kind of a sick joke are you playing?" Abigail's eyes glow red and Olivia's throat starts to close up.
She's gasping for air as Abigail continues, "Trevor says that you telepathically screamed at him?"
She gets in her face, "After all that I've done for you. I've treated you so well. You have powers and hid them from me?"
Olivia's face is turning pale and her lips a light shade of purple. She lets go of her telepathic bond but grabs Olivia by the writs, "What happened?"
It's still hard to breathe but in-between gasps she attempts to explain, "These shadows have been speaking to me.."
Trevor doesn't believe her and it causes anger. It seeps through his gritted teeth., "Shadows my..."
Abigail shushes him with her hand. She sniffs the air and looks into Olivia's eyes, "Do you know what we do to half-bloods?"
Olivia's eyes grow wide in disbelief. She tries to explain, "But, I'm not..."
Abigail's angry voice cuts her off, "Yes. you are!" Her eyes grow more furious, "I'd smell a half-blood anywhere!" For a moment her voice goes soft and confusion floods her eyes, "How did I not see it before?"
Olivia awkwardly suggests, "Could it be because of my 18th birthday?"
Abigail thinks it for a moment then screams, "No, you're a liar!" Her body glows with anger and she mentally throws Olivia through the walls of the castle.
As soon as her body hits the ground she screams, "AAHH!" The shadows are now screaming at her, "RUN!" She listens, jumping to her feet and running into the woods.
The twigs are crunching under her feet, and the woods seem to be endless. It's hard to breathe and she needs to take a break. As her body comes to a stop, her surroundings start to move. Something runs at her and it causes her to go back into a sprint.
She's out of breath, and her chest hurts. Her heart drops at the sight of the lake in front of her. Never before has something so beautiful been so terrifying.
She looks down and screams. "Don't scream at me!" Her reflection yells at her.
She falls back on her butt, but then slowly reproaches the water. "Yes, I'm still here!" Her reflection is irritated, "I'm your reflection." It rolls its eyes, "I'm not going nowhere!"
"What do you want?" She demands. At this point she feels helpless and a little crazy.
Her reflection sighs, "To break the curse, you must find him!"
"What curse?" Olivia is confused. She's never felt like she was cursed, and who would want to curse her anyway?
"The curse that determines if you live or die." Her reflection states.
She's still skeptical but there has to be an explanation as to why her reflection is calling to her. These thoughts fill her with doubt and concern.
"How do I break the curse?" Her voice is panicky.
"You speak to the dead, but he speaks to the wild!" The reflection speaks in riddles.
"You want me to find a wolf?" She is confused. She's always been warned to stay away from wolves. To speak to one is forbidden!
The reflection sighs with annoyance, "I want you to find our mate!"
Olivia shakes her head, "We're human. We don't have a mate!" Does this reflection know what they are saying?
The reflection is so angry. When she shivers It creates waves, "That's a lie that wolves created to avoid mating with anyone but another wolf!"
Olivia attempts to argue but the reflection and the waves around her start to shout, "18 years have come and gone. The veil has been lifted!"
She panics, "How? What. When? I can't!"
"You are a medium, the whispers of the dead will guide you!" Their words boom through her ears.
"How will I find him?" It's more of a demand than anything.
"Follow the spirits and he will meet you half way!" She's about to question them but they shout, "GO!"
