• Hello there! Hey don’t give me that look, that I know that you are about to give me. (You give that look). *I sigh and gave you the same look.* (You back away and trip on a log). *Within seconds I grab your arm and fling you behind me to land in the couch, that wasn’t there a minute ago. I land on my knees and skid 10 feet, no scratches found on me.* Whoa! That was really cool! I never knew I could do that! Wow! This is what being a Fate means? Opps…that was too soon…I think she’s still in shock…ouch! Okay…*hands you a cup of coffee* dark with a pinch of sugar. (You take it and sip it, then gulp it down). *I pour you more* Okay…let me tell you that you are hearing this all in your head. All of your thoughts are mine, and mine, yours…I can hear everything in your head. Oh! I forgot! My name is crying. It’s stupid I know…but it works since my other name is yours, Angela. (You look at me surprised and with shaky hands you take a sip of the coffee. “How?”) Because you have suppressed me for…I don’t know...since maybe 3 years old. (You finish the rest of the coffee in one gulp. “So how can I stop suppressing you?”) You’ll see soon enough. Okay going on with the fate thing. You are going down a road- *I stop in mid-sentence, and cover my ears and began to screaming* (You do the same and beg for it to stop). *I fade out.*

    I awake. (What was that about)? I sighed (Man this is getting messed up). Something wet falls onto my bed sheets. (What was that)? I feel my check. There I feel dampness. (No! Why am I crying)? Quickly I stop my tears. Something feels like it’s tearing inside me, and it hurts. I curl up in pain. “Angela?” I look at the bed next to me. Brown eyes stair back at me, it’s Ginger. “What?” I whisper back. “Are you okay?” “Yeah why are you asking?” “Umm…never mind.” “Just go back to sleep, okay? Before someone hears.” “Okay.” Ginger stares at me for a few seconds then turns over and soon falls asleep. I try to do the same, but fail. Instead I think about how my life is. I’m an orphan, since I was 3 years old. Exactly when I turned 3 as the clock turned to the time I was born, my parents got into a car accident. I was with them in the car, I didn’t get hurt at all, just a scrap or two. They said that my parents were protecting me from the glass, coming from the windows. I was only 3 and everyone thought I would be crying, but I didn’t. Some ladies said that I was just keeping it for later, but moisture never reached my eyes, and never have cried. Unless right now counted. (Of course I was just…sweating. Why am I telling this to myself)? I sighed and tried to think of an answer for that one. No such luck. The lights went on. I flinched away from the lights and blinked a few times. I sat up and looked to the door. There the caretaker of the orphan house I lived in right now, was at the door. “Who was speaking!” Ginger looked at me, afraid. I didn’t want to get her into trouble, so I got out of the bed and went to the caretaker. “I was.” I said without fear. He glared down at me and turned. “Fallow.” I did. We were in his office, and he was looking in a cabinet. He brought out a file folder with my name in it. I knew what was going to happen now. I had this happen plenty of times that I knew every word of the speech they were going to give me. He didn’t do what I expected. “You have never been adopted?” I stared at him in disbelief. “Yes, sir.” “I think it’s time that you were.” “What?” “You’re going to get adopted. There is a family that wants a brown haired and purple eyed. You fit that description.” I stared at him again. He looked at me and felt my head. “You feel okay?” I moved away from his hand. “Yeah I’m okay, but…who is the family?” “A good one, the Malisons. They want a girl for the family, but have 5 boys, and the wife can’t have anymore children. Since the last child was her last and they still do want a girl. They asked me to find one. And you are it.” “When am I going then?” “Now actually, here’s your ticket, and they already sighed for you. Let’s go.” He grabbed the keys, and handed me an envelope sized pamphlet with my passport, that I didn’t even know I had. (Great!) “Umm…sir…what about my stuff?” “Oh! Right, go get your stuff.” I went back to the girls’ room. Everyone asked me questions and I told them what was happening. I tried packing with the girls eyes on me, I don’t like people staring at me. I think it reminded me of the ladies. A hand helped me pack. I looked at the holder, and it was Ginger. “Thanks.” I smiled at her; she was the only friend I had here. “No problem, hope you like your new family.” “No, pray I don’t do anything good.” We laughed, and I walked out the door of the girls’ room for the last time, that was the feeling I had, that I would never see this place again. I shivered. The caretaker took me to the airport and made sure I did get on. (It’s not like I’m going to not get on and run away…maybe…) Right away I feel asleep.
    Wow! This is what it feels like to be 3000 feet in the air! *I’m sitting next to you. Excited.* (You look at me. “What happened yesterday!”) OH! That…you know I don’t know, but someone…I think her name was…come on think, come on crying...Oh! It her name was abused, she introduced me to this. And then there was lonely, she trained me into talking to you. And then there was cutter, who taught me how to make you feel things, which reminds me…sorry about that pain earlier that was a little over board, but good news is that you aren’t dead! *I’m saying this really fast.* (“Slow down, okay?”) Sorry…I couldn’t help it. I’m really excited since your- *I stop and began to scream again like yesterday and fade.*
    I awake just as the plain lands. (Grr…crying you need to stop fading out)! I get up and leave the airplane, and stepped into the airport of Las Vegas. I don’t know why it took me forever, but it made me remember what crying was saying really fast. About how “cutter” taught her how to make me feel things…that was confusing. I waited for my bag, which seemed like forever. I didn’t want to go find the family quiet yet. I must have daydreamed a little for all of a sudden my bag went past me. (SHOT)! I tried to reach for it, but it was getting away from me, as if it had its own legs. I was just about to grab it, when a strong hand, mans, grabbed it and handed it to me. I looked up into green eyes. “Thank you.” “No problem, you seemed like a damsel in distress.” “I…what?” He laughed. “You seemed like you needed it. Where are you going?” “To go see my new family, I guess.” I grabbed my bag, and began the slow process to the family. “Well, do you know what they look like?” “Umm…no…” “How come you don’t know what they look like?” “Because I’m and orphan.” I said it with no sorrow or emotion in my voice, the pain came back. He looked at me in shock. “I’m sorry, is the new family, related to you?” “Nope, and don’t be, I was young so I don’t even know their faces.” My eyes, for the first time in a long time began to collect moisture. A tear almost showed, but I wiped it away before anything would happen. “Are you okay?” “Yeah, just got something in my eye.” “Let me see.” He tried to look at my eyes. “No, really I’m fine.” I turned away from him. (Come on tears stop coming)! They did, I turned back to him. “I’m fine, you don’t need to help me okay? Bye!” I left before he could do anything. He didn’t follow me, but instead picked up something off the ground, opened it and then smiled to himself. I found the family really quick, they had my name printed on a card in big letters “ANGELA” I mentally laughed at that, and when up to them. They ask if I was Angela and I said yes. They were all…joyous and happy. It scared me, and gave me shivers.
    (“CRYING! CRYING! WHERE ARE YOU!!!” You shout, and walk down a hallway that you never been in before. “CRYING!” Hands go around your shoulders and freak you out, you scream and try to get away from the hands. You awake).
    “Ouch! Angela, wake up!” A voice said. I awake to look up to brown eyes. “Are you okay?” says Jacob, my new brother, my same age. “I…yeah.” I look around to the room that was big and empty, unfimilar to me. “You where screaming and talking in your sleep. Are you sure?” I look back at him, (I was screaming)? “Yeah…I’m alive aren’t I?” He didn’t laugh at my joke. I’ve been with this family for 3 weeks now, and for some reason, I didn’t eat, I would but, it wasn’t much. Tomorrow, no today, I’m going to go with the boys to their school, and began school with them. They thought was the reason why I was so freaked out, but I thought different. I haven’t seen crying ever since the plane ride, and now I have these dreams of a hall, which I couldn’t get away from. It always made me think about the fate thing that crying was talking about. (Am I going down the wrong road)? “Jacob, go back to sleep, I’m fine.” He followed my orders, but slowly he left. I looked at the clock, and saw that I had an hour before I should be up. I stared up at my cycling, not thinking of anything. I…for some odd reason I felt empty. (Please, crying come back! I need you. Please)! My alarm clock went off. I jumped up surprised. Turned it off, and jumped out of the bed. I changed quickly into the school uniform. I didn’t feel eating anything, not hungry, even though they tried to beg me to eat at least a few bites, I didn’t. I waited for the boys, tired. There was Jacob, who was looking at me with concern, he was the same age as I was, and we sort of looked a like, they said that we could have been twins, but he’s a few months older than me, and he acts like an older brother protecting his little sister from strangers. Then there was Mark, he’s a senior in the high school, and the royal high senior. So no one could mess with me, which didn’t work with my plan to get out of here as soon as possible. There are the twins, Fred and Gorge, like the Harry Potter twins, and they are annoying! But they can’t let you be mad for one second, for both of them would do something to make you laugh and happy. And last, but not least, the baby, David. He was only 2, and still learning. And he is cute…in the girl sort of way. Then the parents, always busy, but somehow can work out to have fun with the rest of the family. I felt like I didn’t belong, that is also another thing I think they are concerned about, that I don’t feel like a part of their family. I yawned as the bus came up. “What were you doing all night?” Mark asked. I yawned again with Jacob, “I didn’t sleep well…so what?” I replied a little snappy. “And what is your reason Jacob?” Mark asked Jacob. “I didn’t sleep well either.” “Are you sure it wasn’t because you were concerned about your new girlfriend?” The Twins said together, as one voice. “Shut up!” Jacob snapped. I glared at him, “That isn’t how you treat family!” I snapped at him. “Ouch…that had to hurt!” Mark said. “Well be happy that you got family at least!” I snapped at Mark and Jacob at the same time. “You’re saying it as if you’re not part of the family.” Jacob said with concern again. I turned and got on the bus, not talking to them again. I got off the bus and went to the office. They gave me my schedule, and I was busy, but I think Mark spread around that I needed help, for people were helping me, with everything! At lunch, I was offered a lot of places to sit at, denying all of them. I didn’t grab anything to eat. I went to the bathroom. I took a stall, locked it, and sat on the toilet. I sighed away from all of the noise and everything. I was able to think without anyone asking me what I thought or what I was thinking about. The door entrance opened. I didn’t do anything and listened to the girls laughter and talking. A knock went on my stall. I opened it and looked at a girl, with black hair look back at me. “Sorry.” I said. “No, it’s ok! I always do that too. You’re Angela right?” “Yeah” “I’m Kate.” I look around the stall corner as Kate pointed to some other girls. “That’s Sam.” Kate pointed to a girl with long brown hair. “And that is Mary. They are new too, but you’re the newest, and we all sort of have one thing in common.” I look at them all back and forth not noticing anything similar with them. Kate was perfect looking. Sam, she seemed like she was shy, but she had and excitement in her eyes. Reminding me of crying. I felt stomach pain. Mary had a few marks on her, but they weren’t noticeable. “What is the thing you have in common?” “That is our secret,” Sam said. “Please tell me. Besides I don’t think I’m going to be here for long.” They looked at each other. All nodded to each other, after all they had the same dream night seeing the Fate’s again. “We have Fates.” Mary said. I stared at them. (Crying! What is going on! Is this Cutter, Lonely, and Abused)? I began to feel dizzy. Darkness came too quick.
    (“Crying! Help me!” You are crying and in the hallway again). ^”Maybe I can?” said a voice I or she never heard of. ^ I come out with him. (“Crying!” You get up and hug me). Hey! I’m sorry about before that I never came back, but I couldn’t do it without him. *I point to him, he had white angel wings, and dog ears, but very handsome.* (You gasp. It was him. The guy from the airport. “What! Who is he!”) *I giggle a little nervously.* Well he’s here to help us both out. You see… *I can’t go on* ^He speaks up, “Well…the Fates are rare people, they aren’t just suppressed feelings in you, but a part that was hidden from the world and yourself.”^ (“What is that?”) *I take a deep breath and go on from what he said.* You’re a witch. (You stare at me in disbelief “I’m…a what?!?”) A witch. That is why the Fates are here, me, crying, cutter, lonely, and abused. We, you, us, whoever has a Fate or is a Fate, are witches. That is why when we got in the car accident why we didn’t get a scratch, because the glass was warded off, and your witch powers protected you. (You look at me with a blank stare.) ^”This could have been too soon.” He says to me. ^ No it was time that she knew, and besides I had to go with you to help cutter, lonely, and abused to tell their selves that they where witches, and what I, she looked like. ^”You can say in first person. You two are almost one.”^ *(We both look at him with amazement)* (“What?”) ^”Well you both are going to find him.”^ I thought that when we where going to be one, was with the family meet us, but I couldn’t even touch her. ^”Well he is with the family.”^ Who is…wait…no! How can it be him! (“Hello when are you going to tell me who he is!”) ^*We both look at you.*^ Well…oh no! I’m going to fade again! ^He hands you something. “I think this belongs to you.” He hands you your passport. ^ (You had lost it at the airport). ^*We fade*^
    I awake to see familiar brown eye looking down at me. I blink. (Jacob…) My stomach flipped. (Wait! Jacob is him? That is going to be weird if we are family)! “Jacob,” I whisper and try to get up. “No don’t try getting up, you seem to have a bump on your head.” I look around to see Sam, Kate, Mary, and Mark’s faces to be looking down at me too. “What is it happening?” “Well…umm…” Mary says. 3 other faces come around next to Mary, Kate, and Sam. Something told me that they were together. “Can I get up now doctor?” I ask Jacob. He smiled and helped me up. “Are you going to be okay or do you need to go home?” He asked. “Hmm…I think I’ll be okay, but some food does sound nice right now.” I answer him. We all laugh and go get some food it was still lunch time. “Don’t worry I don’t think anyone knows what happened.” Mark whispered in my ear. He squeezed my shoulder and went off somewhere. “Who are the 3?” I ask the girls. “OH! This is Erik.” Sam said. “This is John.” Kate said. “This is Tom.” Mary said. “Thank you girls I think we do have mouths that can answer for ourselves.” John said. “Well, you don’t speak quickly enough.” Sam snapped back. They stared into each others eyes with something that made me know that they wanted to kiss right now, which they did. We laughed at them. “Do you want to go see outside?” Jacob asked me. “Sure.” I answered. We went out. We didn’t talk for a little bit, but it was hard to not kiss him or anything. “What is today?” I ask finally. “October 4th…why?” I couldn’t help it, but I began to cry. Before anything could happen he had his arms around me and he was hugging me. “What is a matter sweet?” He asked, giving me a nickname. “Today…it’s my Birthday…and the day my parent’s death…” I cried some more. We stayed where we were even after the bell rang. “Why did you give me a nickname?” I finally asked when I could finally breathe. “Well…because…I like you…actually love you. And I couldn’t help it.” He replied. “But is it okay if family marries?” “Well…I should tell you I was adopted too.” “What!” “I’m not related to the family. They did have Mark, the Twins, and David, but not me…or you.” He looked at me the way John, Erik, and Tom looked at their girls. I couldn’t help it but I looked at him the same way. “So we could get married? If you want too…” He looked at me and laughed. “The only way I could marry you would be after high school, and after the family felt like it was okay. Here.” He took something off his finger and slipped it on my left hand. “I know that it’s kind of stupid but it’s the only way I could think of so no one else could take you from me.” I looked at my left hand, and on my ring finger was his High School ring. I’ve seen it before he showed it off to me when he got it last week. I looked back to his eyes. I could see it in his eyes. The love; the forever never ending tunnel that would never burn out for me. I think that he seen it in my eyes too for he smiled. I couldn’t help it, I began to cry again. “My sweet what is wrong?” “I…I’m sorry…” (Crying if you can here me now? Please…do still be my Fate…I’m ready for this witch thing. Even if I have to do it alone. I don’t think I’m alone anymore). (Don’t worry!) (Yeah! We are with you!) (Hey! Don’t forget me!) (Who is this?) (Sam!) (Kate!) (And Mary!) I laughed. “What?” Jacob asked. “Nothing.” I said. He looked at me again. Then kissed me. I kissed back. I wasn’t alone anymore, I had shoulder to cry on now. And I wasn’t afraid to show emotion!
