One Of the Greats

All my life everyone said that I was a fighter because I never gave up when the going gets tough but that was before my mom died. After my mother died, my father began to drink and he became abusive. My mother died two years ago of cancer and that's when I became weak.

I never thought that I would be sitting at a bus stop with my suitcase in my hand crying because my dad hit me, but it happened. As I climbed the steps and got onto the bus, I thought about what my mother said the night she died. She said I had special abilities that I would soon understand but I still do not understand and I do not think I ever will. I found a seat on the bus and begin to read the note my mother left for me.

Dear Athena,

I know that things will be tough when I am gone but you have to stay strong. There is something that I have always wanted to tell you about me and your grandparents and I guess now is the time. You have always been a fighter, it is your natural ability, but there is more that you have to bring out...

She never got to finish the letter because she got tired. I didn't know what she meant by there is more that I have to bring out but I did know how to fight it was like an instinct, it just came natural. I looked up in surprise when the bus jerked to a stop. I looked out the window to find a man in a black coat walking onto the bus. I started to shake in fear as he started to walk towards me as he said, "Athena Mcwell I noticed that you have a suitcase, I have a place for you to stay".

I didn't know what to do or say so I just stood up and followed him, I didn't want to but it was as if he was controlling me. I slowly followed him until we reached a black car. I opened the door the trunk and put my suitcase in, I then climbed into the front seat. I stared out of the window shaking with fear as I realized that I had just gotten into the car with a stranger.

We pulled to a stop and I noticed that we started to float. I looked down on and cloud no longer see the ground, all I could see were clouds. I looked forward and what I saw was amazing, it was a whole city in the sky. We suddenly came to a stop at a house and all my fears were gone as I saw a person walk out of the house and it was my mother.

I stood there in shock as I stared at the woman who seemed to be my mother. "Athena!" She screamed running over to hug me. I sniffed in her scent remembering everything I did with my mother from good times to bad times. As she led me into the house I noticed that the man had left with my things, who was he.

Right when I stepped foot into the house I notice the piano, it was my favorite instrument and I somehow knew it was for me. I sat down on the cream colored couch as I asked my mother how she was here. She casually answered and told me that we were both dead. I gasped at what she said, me d-dead, but I was just on the bus but I mean that does explain the flying car. She told me that my dad pushed me and I hit my head on the counter and I bled to death.

I couldn't believe what she said but then she said that there was a way I could come back. All of a sudden the lights started to flash in the house and when I turned to look at my mother I couldn't believe what I saw. It wasn't her.

I ran out of the house crying. I ran and ran and ran until I fell and blacked out. I woke up on someones couch but it wasn't the ladies who looked like my moms and it wasn't mine so whos was it. I stood up and walked around until I found the front door. I opened the door to find myself staring into a mountain of snow and it was august, where was I. I sat back on the couch crying remembering that the lady I met wasn't really my mother it was all a trick.

I didn't know what was going on but somehow I thought all of this had something to do with what my mother was trying to tell me. "Hello Athena nice to see you have woken", a calm voice said. I turned over to find a woman with honey colored hair gray eyes and honey colored skin looking over me. " Uh hello who are you?" I asked. " I am Isabella" " Your grandmother", she said. In my head the only words I could think to say were wow she looked super young. " how do you look so young?" I stuttered.

I didn't know whether to believe her or not but something about her made me trust her, it was like the man who came on the bus. She told me that she was a gemmi and that I was one to which means living eternally. I was surprised but also happy to find out that I wasn't really dead like the lady had said, but then I thought why did she want me to think I was. She told me that the only way to kill a gemmi is an animals mark which is how my mom really died.
