Shadows in The Dark

Chapter 19

My Gage to the right just with a little hair n eye color replacement. Hot enough to play the character? tehe i think so. Just wanted to explain the random hot guy haha so go on now read away.

Gage came in first and I gasped. His power showed on the outside form of his body. Black clouds radiated around him in slow motion. “Do you see it Jaci,” Mama said.

“I-I see dark clouds, a little red, and gold. Black clouds are surrounding Gage and circling the areas around him.” I shivered and frowned.

“All the aura colors you’re seeing usually indicate long-term unforgiveness and past life hurts. There are lots of energy and stamina, creative, productive, adventurous, courageous, outgoing social nature and power. But there are also other meanings to the aura colors you’re seeing, so I could be off on my readings.” She studied my facially expressions very closely.

“Shit happens,” Gage said bitterly before shuffling up stairs. The way he walked at that moment was rigid and completely different from the confident strides he makes when he moves. The way his aura stretched out to me when he walked in made me think there was something behind that brutal mask.

I shook my head clear of thoughts of him when the twins came in. Their auras were connected together in a web of colorful string. “In cases with twins you have to be very skilled at reading auras so you mostly can’t tell whose aura is whose. You probably see webs connect their auras together,” she paused and I nodded. Mama continued to speak, “Well with practice you’ll be able to tell their auras apart, but for now the fact that you can see them is good enough.”

“I think I’ve always been able to see them. I mean I always saw a small glow around people, but I always thought it was the light or something. It’s when I moved here I started paying attention to them and then thoughts or questions would pop into my head. I start to know things I never even knew about.”

“Maybe it just your mind bringing back past life’s experiences,” Isabel said right when Marcus came in.

“Yeah don’t witches usually reincarnate over time,” Isabella asked my grandparents.

“Yes we do and if we didn’t witches wouldn’t be here to this very day. The supernatural world wouldn’t have any rules and the other creature would wreck mystify on the human world.” Papa spoke with worry in his eyes.

“Hasn’t there been trouble finding the witch’s King,” Marcus said.

“Yes boy there has been some problems. It’s hard to find witches now a day, because witches don’t know there witches. Sometimes they never pick up on there powers and live a life of misery,” Papa said grimly.

“How is that horrible? They get to live a normal life and die free of burden,” I argued.

“Jaci weren’t you miserable before you found out you were a witch,” Alan questioned.

“I did fine not knowing and knowing only causes pain,” I said. All the pain I have now is all because I’m a witch and can never be normal.

“That’s not necessary true Jaci,” Stephanie spoke softy. The rest of the covenant joined us in the kitchen. “Were you happy moving from one place to another? Was it fun not having anyone love you or not having friends? Was it paradise being alone in the world? You keep thinking about the bad things and you’re blaming it all on being a witch, but I don’t agree with your way of thinking.”

I clenched my hand into a fist underneath the table and held back my anger and sadness. Everyone was quiet and the atmosphere was heavy. I didn’t like the way this night was going and all I wanted to do was fall asleep in my bed.
