My ears started ringing to the sound of my alarm clock going off. I moaned and hit it angrily. why was my alarm clock going off right now? I rolled over to check the time. midnight. I moaned. maybe my alarm was magically unplugged and somehow was turned on to the alarm setting.Sighing i layed back down and closed my eyes. why wasn't i falling back asleep? it's normally so easy to do this, yet I couldn't... Giving up I stood up and got out of bed, stretching as I did so. Pulling up my blinds, i gazed out the window. Joyus. Storm clouds. Sighing, I went to the closet and got changed into a pair of grey skinny jeans and a tank top. I grabbed my paramore hoody and pulled it on as well, then opened the door of my bedroom quietly. I walked into my bathroom and put my face on, but was stopped by a loud crackling. I froze. Thunder? My heart began pounding as I looked around. No. it was to loud to be thunder. My body was thrown into the wall as an even louder booming noise shook the house. I grimaced as I stood back up weakly. I dashed down the stairs and out the door. The alarm was off because my window had been open that evening so that I could stay cool. I began running at full speed towards the meadow in the watershed. I stopped myself before I fell in the large pit that stood before me. A large shard of rock sat in the middle. "A meteor?" I asked, stepping towards it. The moonlight hit it, causing it to shine uncontrollably. No. It couldn't be. It looked like a large... Opal? with shards of silver in it... well, half of the opal at least. I stared at it curiously, stepping forward. Normally in my mindset, i'd be running my ass off right now, but i couldn't help it. Something drew me towards it. My hand touched it gently. I yelped as it burned my flesh and pulled away. Okay. screw this. I dashed back up the hill and began to walk home when there was a sudden loud crack again that threw me to the ground. I turned around to see what was going on, but closed my eyes in pain. what was this painful sensation in my wrists? I gritted my teeth together. What was going on? soon the pain became unbearable and i colapsed. As I drew unconcious, I felt as though I was drowing. As I was gasping for air, i fell unconcious. This was going to be a hard one to explain to my mom.I awoke the next morning in my bed. I rubbed my head. This was strange... wasn't I just- OH CRAP MY FINAL! I leapt up and ran down the stairs, still in my clothes. They were filthy. But if last night wasn't a dream then why were these clothes filthy? I checked the time. good. I still had about 45 minutes. I continued my persuit down the street, running to school as excuses for my outfit ran through my mind. Slipped and fell? no. Gah. I gave up and decided i would just decide on the spot if someone asked and decided to focus on running. I finally made it to school about 20 minutes early. I sighed as I sat down. thank what ever might be out there. I slumped up against the wall, deciding to relax before I went to find anyone. "Taylor?" I heard a familiar voice ask. I looked up to see Saul and Melissa standing there, looking at me. I smiled."Hey guys." I stated. I noticed a strange marking on Saul's neck, but didnt say anything about it. Melissa gave me a strange look."Taylor, how the nun did you get so freakin dirty?" She asked. Saul just stared at my wrists. I looked down. a marking on each one. weird. I looked back up at Melissa."I was out in the watershed last night and i accidently left something there so before i came here i had to look for it but i slipped and fell" I said calmly. Melissa shrugged."Okay" She said calmly then began talking about the usual Melissa stuff. Saul smirked."Nice tatoos." He commented. I raised an eyebrow."I like yours too" I stated. Melissa looked between us."What the nun are you guys talking about?" she asked. We looked at Melissa then to each other. were we the only ones that could see it? Mara suddenly walked into the building. Today she was wearing a t-shirt and shorts, that revealed a small marking on her ankle. Saul and I stared at her. Melissa just stared at all of us."Am I missing something?" She asked. We all shook out heads."No Melissa, it's nothing. never mind" I said quickly then changed the subject, "So does anyone wanna get Mc Donalds after this or something?" As everyone continued talking, I glanced over at mara, glancing her the we need to talk look. She tilted her head towards Saul. I nodded. She nodded then we all went into the conversation. What was with these tatoos?
