All I know is that he moved here from Cali and that he‟s adopted,” he answered.
“Why are you all of the sudden interested?” he asked.
“You remember when I bumped at Alexander yesterday?” I asked.
“Yes you had a strange look on your face yesterday, is everything okay?” he
asked.
“Actually I am not fine I‟m actually very confused. When I accidentally touched
his hand I had this strange vision in my mind, I was on the beach and it was dark.
There was this shining light coming from somewhere, I didn‟t know if it was from
the moon or somewhere else,” I replied.
After we finished our lunch I asked Lucas to drive us to Alexander‟s house. His
adoptive parents let us in and escorted us to his room. Alexander was in the
corner reading a book that had a very strange symbol on its cover. His parents
left us alone, we came towards him. It was total silence. Lucas just kept on
looking around his room while I was trying to figure out what to say next. It took
me by surprise but strangely I knew what he meant.
“You are different than I expected Eleanor,” he said.
“Tell me what‟s going on, why did I see something when we touched?” I asked.
“You‟re not normal, do you remember what your history teacher taught you?” he
asked.
“Yes he taught us about how in the Med ieval Ages there was once this girl who
had strange powers and that people thought she was a witch,” she answered.
“Well yes part of that is true, that girl did have powers but she wasn‟t a witch.
That girl was your great, great, great grandmother,” he told me.
“Wait, so my great, great, great, grandmother had powers?” she asked.
“Yes, let me tell you her story. She had powers that could control the sky, all of
the other villagers thought she was a witch but no she wasn‟t. She fell in love with
a mortal man and married him; he was the father of your great, great,
grandmother. And your great, great, grandmother also had powers and fell in love
with a mortal man and reproduced. That was the cycle that was repeated with
your great grandmother and your mother. Now all of that has lead to you, you have
powers Eleanor beyond this world.” “Do you know the meaning of your name?” he
asked.
“No, all I know is that it means something special,” she answered.
“Yes, your name means „shining light,‟ „moon,‟ and „sky.‟ Your name resembles
your powers; you have powers of the sky. You can let shine from your body into
the world, you can manipulate the darkness and the light that comes from the
moon, and you can control the weather with your mind,” he explained to me.
“How do I use them?” I asked.
“You‟ve already been using them you just didn‟t know it, another thing you can do
is change the emotions of people around you. You‟ve been using this power since
you were little, for example: when you entered that room full of angry people you
changed their emotions into happiness,” he said.
“How do you know that?” I asked.
“Well someone has to look after you and, make sure you‟re using your powers for
good,” he answered.
“How long have you been watching over me?” I asked.
“Since the day you were born,” he said,
“Your power can‟t just change people‟s emotions into happiness, you can change
it into an emotion you want,”
told me.
