When I was a kid I grew up very close with my mothers family. There was one cousin that I was the closest with, and still to this day we are close. Melanie lived only one city over when we were kids. We saw each other a lot, probably more then our parents knew.
I remember the day I learned of our powers. I had spoke with Melanie earlier on the phone about the new New Kids On The Block tape that came out...we both wanted it! Anyways, we really wanted to get together but couldn't, her family was doing something as was mine. While in my room getting ready I was wishing I could talk to her via my mind...and the strangest thing happened, she responded!!! I had to call her immediately to see if it was real...and it sure was.
We continued to speak to one another all day and night this way. It eventually got to the point where we could even see what the other was seeing. I have heard people say that twins have that sense, but we were just cousins....how was this happening?? I could feel her pain, she could feel mine. Our emotions were soon becoming one. It was great to be able to have access to one another any time of day without anyone else knowing, or hearing what we where saying. After about a month or 2 we got greedy, we wanted to hang out more as well...but it was hard, since we had to wait for our parents to drive us and give us the okay.
I remember this day as if it were yesterday. I was in my room, listening to New Kids on the Block, I believe it was the Step by Step tape...yes, tape! While staring at my Jon Knight poster, just drooling, I heard Melanie call my name.
"Alice! Hey, look over here." It sounded as though she were in my room, not my head. I looked all around and didn't see anything, then all of a sudden my closet door slowly creaked open. Now any of you that know me well, know that I fear and have always feared closets, thanks to my father telling me a lady died in my room and her ghost was in my closet...so I jumped off my bed and was ready to run screaming! Then I saw a bit of dark curly hair...it was Melanie!!! How did she get in my closet??
"Melanie! What are you doing here? How did you get in there?"
"Alice, I found a porthole from my closet to yours! Isn't that cool??"
I'm sure the look on my face at that moment was priceless. I was shocked and somehow I didn't believe her. I don't know why, I mean, we could hear each others thoughts, we could see what the other was seeing and feel the others pain, physical and emotional. So, I followed her into my creepy closet and there it was this porthole to her closet. We now had access to each other all hours of the day no matter what!
Time went on and we kept all this a secret, then one day when we were in Junior High we used our portholes to hang out. While we were walking around La Habra and eating candy that we had bought we saw a store that had a little wooden box in the window. It caught both of our attention, so, in our minds we discussed it and went on in. The lady behind the counter didn't even look at us, she just grabbed the box and handed it to us, as though we were supposed to have it. We looked at one another and opened it. In side there were two jewels, one blue and one green. They sparkled so nice, but we didn't know what all this meant.
"Those are for you, girls. They will keep you safe, now that you have learned of the magic in this world. Take them, and don't lose them. Tell no one of this!" The women said as her back was turned.
So we slowly walked out of the store and ran back to Melanie's house. There we sat in her room, studying the jewels. We noticed the blue one had an "A" on it and the green had an "M" on it. We figured I should take blue and she should keep green. That evening I went back home via the porthole. I ate dinner, and did all my night-time things as though nothing were different.
That night, as I slept I hear Melanie call for me. I opened my eyes and responded in my mind, not knowing where she was. I got no response...starting to worry, I heard a loud bang in my closet. I jumped up just as my closet door was slowly opening, the fear wasn't there, thinking it was Melanie. The door opened completely and I saw no one, then I heard a womans voice, "I am the guardian of this porthole. Melanie is in danger, you must get to her quickly!"
Everything was a blur, I can't remember what happened, but I do remember crossing over to Melanies and seeing a dark giant figure hovering over her as she cried! I yelled at it preparing my blue jewel! At this moment I didn't know what we were going to do, but I knew I had to do something to get it away from her. As soon as the figure saw my jewel it growled. "Give me that which belongs to me and you will be set free."
Any one of you that knows me knows what a smart ass and jerk I can be, so, as you guessed I had to say something back. I responded, "I'm already free you idiot! How do you set someone free that isn't trapped?? Duh!"
I guess that was the wrong thing to say because I just remember being engulfed in the darkness...and feeling so cold and alone. I tried calling for Melanie via my mind, but nothing...this beast was blocking our powers! Fear started to set in, then my jerk side took over instead.
"So, why you gotta be a jerk? These jewels were given to us. If they were yours then why didn't you keep better track of them, stupid! You're just jealous because you don't have anyone to talk to, or anyone that cares. That's because you are a jerk, and you try to scare everyone. I will get myself out of here, I don't you to release me...my cousin will come for me."
Right then I could see light peeking through and there I saw the dark curly hair and heard Melanie. I knew she would come for me! Then, at that moment I could hear my dad....telling me to get up. I didn't get it...I was confused, how did my dad get here?
Out of nowhere I began feeling cold water dropping on my forehead....oh, it was all a dream, and I had to get up for school. YAY! Thanks Dad for the awesome wake up call...I was just about to beat this monster!!!
That is basically my childhood in a nutshell....I know, it probably doesn't make much sense to most of you, unless you knew me then! I hope you enjoyed this. I am taking some ideas on any new stories, you can email me at [email protected] with your ideas, I will make sure to mention you!
