Monster by Mackenzie Feit (ebook reader library txt) 📕

I couldn't do what you wanted me to, can you get that through your fat head?"

"I guess so and I'm sorry about that"

"Whatever, just explain everything I need to know"

"Ok, so, my name is Chase James Daniels, and I was assigned to get close to you and make sure you don't hurt anyone"

"What do you mean 'get close' to me and how would I hurt anyone if I don't even know what I am"

"I mean they want me to try to be your friend, and your an elemental so am I, they wanted me to learn everything about you, and who your parents were"

"My parents abandoned me, I have no idea where they are or who they are"

"Wait...no...that's not possible" He looked surprised

"What... what's not possible?"

"Your parents...they were in a battle and the people they were fighting were trying to get you so they could raise you to kill your parents, so they sent you away so you would be safe...hoping that someday they would see you again, but not until it was safe for you"

"What... that just makes more questions in my mind, you're not helping"

"Your parents were the strongest elementals in the world and because of their power you were born the chosen one, with the most power... you can talk to animals and you have every power imaginable"

"Really?"

"Yeah, I only have the power to control the elements, because I only have one parent that is an elemental, but you have both parents as elementals"

"So I can do anything I want?"

"Pretty much" 

I was so interested in the answers he was giving me I forgot we were just supposed to walk to my house and then he was supposed to leave and before I knew it we were on my doorstep.

"Come in, I want to know everthing"

"Are you sure, I thought you hated me"

"O I do but your the only one that knows anything about me so"

"OK, I really am sorry though"

"And I really don't care about your apologies"

"Ok, I'll tell you whatever you want to know, but I still have to be with you wherever you go, you know that right?"

"As if, but you are still telling me whatever I want to know"

"Yes chosen one"

"Ok"

I let him in and we went to the living room

"It's really dark in here"  He observed

"Yeah, that's because no one else is here"

"You mean until later right?"

"No... no one is ever here"

"What?!?! So your always alone? Everyday, all day?"

"Well yeah, I have no family left and everyone is afraid of me, I still don't understand how I can hurt people if I don't know when I'm going to control the weather"

"Your powers come from your heart, that's why it rains when you cry, the sun comes out when your happy, you have so much more power than normal Elementals"

"What do you mean?"

"Um do you have any paper?

"Yeah just a sec" I said then I went to a drawer labeled paper "Here"

"Thanks"

"Why do you need paper?"

"To show you"

"Show me what?"

"How to learn control" He closed his eyes and took long deep breathes, when he opened his eyes, they were gold, he focused on the paper and then out of no where the paper started on fire and then water came from somewhere, and some wind, all focused on the paper. I watched with interest. After a few seconds he closed his eyes again and everything he just did went away like magic.

"What was that?"

"My powers"

"What are my powers?"

"Um well you can talk to animals"

"Really?"

"Yeah, do you have a dog or cat or fish?"

"No"

"Ok, then call a random animal"

"how?"

"Close your eyes"

I did as I was told

"Good, now picture the animal you want to come"

I pictured a bunny

"Got it, now slowly think about guiding it to you"

"How do I do that?"

I felt warmth on my hands and i assumed he put his over mine

"Imagine you are walking home from the pet store with a brand new rabbit, how are you going to guide him home?"

I thought about watching my bunny hop on the sidewalk and lead the way home

"Wow!" he said and I opened my eyes

"What?"

He looked around, I followed and saw all the rabbits

"You did it"

"Did I though?"

"Yes"

"But you said just 1 bunny"

"But you suceeded that already, so now you have to try talking to them"

"Um how am I supposed to do that?"

"Try asking it what it's name is"

I turned to one of the rabbits "Hi, my name is Freya, what's your name?"

"Alex" He said

"Did you hear that?"

"No I didn't hear anything, I don't have the power to talk to animals only you do"

"Who is that?"

"This is Chase"

"Why can't he hear me?"

"Because he doesn't have the power to do that"

"Oh"

"How did you get here?"

"We followed the call"

"What call?"

"You called us here"

"How?"

"We heard that you wanted a rabbit to come to you, so we followed the voice telling us to come here"

"Voice?"

"More like a pull"

"O ok"

"Why did you want us here?"

"Chase wanted me to try to talk to animals"

"Why?"

"Because he says I'm the chosen one or something and I have to strengthen my powers"

"What?" said shocked

"What?"

"You... you're the chosen one?"

"I guess so"

He looked over to chase

"What?"

They all bowed down to me

"Why are you all bowing?"

"Because you are the chosen one, you deserve the most respect"

"But I'm not the chosen one, I don't even know how to control these so called powers"

"All in god time chosen one" and with that they all hoped away, I looked over at chase and he was smiling

"What?"

"You just had a legit conversation with an animal"

"You told me to"

"I didn't actually think it would work tho"

"What? So you would make me look like a complete fool if that didn't work?"

"Well yeah if it didn't work but it did work"

"You're the worst"

"But I taught you something"

"True"

"So what else to you want to know?"

"Why are my eyes like this" I said looking at him

"What do you mean?"

"2 different colors"

"Mine are like that too"

"No yours look normal unless you use your powers, mine stay like this, they don't change"

"I'm not sure why yours don't change, but they look cool"

"I look like a freak all the time because of them"

"Freya, your not a freak"

"Yes I am"

"No"

"Yes"

"Freya look at me"

I looked at him

"Look at my eyes"

"Your eyes" I said shocked

"I know, they aren't always normal, I can control them"

"how?"

"I think about looking ordinary"

"Why ordinary?"

"Because ordinary people don't have extraordinary features, and it seems to work" He said and closed his eyes

"Would it work for me?"

"No"

"Why not?"

"because you are perfect this way, you don't need to change"

"But..."

"No Frey, don't change a thing"

"You called me Frey"

"i'm so sorry Freya, you are the chosen one and I shouldn't disrespect you like that"

"NO no it's fine, I'm just shocked because that's the first nickname I've ever gotten from anyone"

"O so is it ok if I call you Frey?"

"Of course"

"Ok" He said and just looked at me, before I knew it the sun went down and it was already night

"I should probably head to bed"

"I should get back home"

"You can stay here if you want"

"I don't think that would be appropriate"

"Please, I don't want to stay in this empty house by myself anymore"

"Ok if you want me to"

"I do" I said then I walked upstairs to get him some pjs thinking about what he looks like without his shirt on, when I came downstairs he didn't have a shirt on

"Chase?"

"Oh I'm sorry about this but it's just too hot in here"

"Oh that's fine, can you show me how to cool it down?"

"Sure" He said then came over to me "Close your eyes"

I did as I was told, then I felt heat on my back

"Picture it getting colder in this room"

I tried to do it "I cant"

"If you believe you can't then you will never be able to, now try again" He said then moved closer "Breathe in"

I did

"Breathe out, and think about it getting colder"

I heard him breathing with me, when I thought it I felt coldness

"You did it" he said excitedly

When I opened my eyes everything was spinning

"Chase why is the room spinning?"

"Because you used to much power at once, I thought this would happen that's why I'm so close to you"

 I didn't have time to respond because after he said that everything went black
