Dark, Sarah LaMort [top 10 novels .TXT] 📗

middle. Theirs the round table right in the middle of the room. Where are the knights? "Choose a seat," the grandma says as she closes the door. We all sit. I thought we were out of school so why does she sound like a teacher. "Great, godchild, you already know of your powers. Look at the back of your seat." I look and mine is the only one without a brick just darkness. Emily has half a tear and half a brick. Everybody else just has a brown brick. "Rose, you are so powerful. You have already noticed your powers with your sword fighting," the old person says overjoyed. When will people stop taking about my swords? "Powerful, what do you mean?" I say. Will someone start making sense soon? "Oh come on your swords turn black with your touch," she says smiling. That is crazy. "My swords are already black you old nut!" She really needs to stop smiling so much. Then the door opens and John walks in. "Grandpa, what are you doing," I stop. In his hands is the most beautiful, greatest, sharpest gold sword with symbols everywhere I have ever seen. "Right a minute; I have seen that sword in my dreams!" It is so much grander in real life. "Yes, it was your mothers’ sword before she ruled," John says. "My moms' sword?” I say as I stare at it. John has never told me about my parents. I just don't care to search or met them. "Before my mom ruled what?" "This island that's why it's called Mary Escape," John answers. This island! I have a mega headache now. Man, I really shouldn't have slept in history class. Enough with the madness! "Okay, grandma you're insane. Please take your pills. John, you need a rest and I'm out of here." I start to leave and realize the door is locked. "You will stay and do what I say," the old women says with evil eyes and angry in her voice. Now I don't like being told what to do expertly by people I don't even know. I turn around and everyone looks scared expect for grandma as my hands make a fist. "Go ahead! Hit me! ," Grandma screams. Letting my anger build up I stand there. These people are insane for making me mad. I hit her as a ball of darkness comes of my fist hitting the wall then disappears. A full length mirror appears out of nowhere in front of me and I realize why everyone was scared. I would be scared of a girl with a black cloud all around her too.
Chapter 7: Talent
"What the hell," I scream. "Hell is right that is where your power comes from. The power of darkness is yours. You are the Angel of Darkness," Grandma says smiling. That sounds a little cool. "Angel of Darkness that's me. I'm doing this." This cannot be happening. "Yes, my godchild, what do you think?" Power of darkness means to control darkness. Darkness means the blackness of night. That's so cool. "So fucking cool!" I raise both hands now for some fun. "Darkness come to me fill this room with room with your power!" He he, fun with words. We all laugh except for Grandma. To my surprise, the room turns black. Okay, who turned out the lights? Wait, there wasn't even a light switch anywhere when we entered and no one clapped so it's not a clap system. Two girls scream. I have night vision. This just keeps getting weirder and cooler. "Light, please a light somewhere," Emily screams. Not working lamps appear on the walls. Then a water hand comes out of Emily and turns them on. When the lights come on both the hand and lamps disappear. "What was that?" Just when it was making a little sense. Everyone but Grandma looks strange at me. They must have not seen them. “I’m sorry. I didn't mean to do anything. It's all my vault," Emily says crying as Grandma hugs her. "Emily it's not your vault. You're the Angel of Water," Grandma says. I was named an angel and now Emily is too. I look around. Grandma is going to make us all angels. That is why all of us from different everything are gathered in the same place. What type of angel are the other girls? Why and how are we angels? "But everywhere I go something goes wrong. I don't want this!" I think it's cool to have this power. "It's okay to be scared of your power. I think it's time to go." She leads everyone but Emily and John out of the castle. What's with grandpa? I sneak a peek through an open window to see what's happening now. "Emily, you’re scared. You can't control it. One day you will be brave enough to," Grandma says. Emily looks at the clock that just appears on the wall. School is out in five minutes. Time flees by quickly here with instantly. "I have to go, “she says as she rushes out. "Rose was min and Emily’s' talk that interesting," Grandma says as she walks to me and looks down at me. God does she have ESP or something? I thought your hearing got worst when you get older. Grandma must be a freak of nature. "Freak of nature I most certainly am not. Get in here now." I climb into the room. "Did you read my mind?" Nothing would surprise me today. Not even if Grandma grew ten arms and two heads. "Yes, I did and I promise never to again. I needed to know your true feelings of your powers." Not that I'm caught I have to say I'm sorry cause I'm not evil just a little naughty. "I." She stops me. "I understand you have been raised that way but your behavior will be changed later. Right now I need your normal behavior. Emily controls water, a calming element, but she is not afraid of her power. She is scared of what it does. Something is saddening her heart. I want you to investigate what that is." I blink taken back. "Are you asking me to spy on Emily?" That does surprise me. "Yes, I am for her good and the teams' good." Finally someone who needs me for my talent not to give me punishment. "Okay I will, but how do I do that?" "You will follow her in a car by one of my drivers." What! Oh she's rich I forgot. She's kind of cool. Emily here I come! Not before noticing that John is still there. Wonder why?
Chapter 8: Ouch
I follow her until we stop at a fancy hotel. If she lives her why isn't she popular? She waves goodbye to the driver then walks into an alley way. I get out following from behind. What's she doing? No way is she in a gang. You never know with those silent types. She enters into a crummy hotel. I climb the stairs next to the building for a closer look. This building is every old so of course I fell, but I just have to when I'm really high up. Imprint
