The Dark, The Dangerous, and The Deadly. by J.J Blake (christmas read aloud TXT) 📕

bed slinging my backpack over my shoulder.


Later....

At the end of biology I gather my books and look around me at all of the students chattering and gathering their books around me.
I can see that each one has a air around them.
I wonder if there is a way to block this unusal talent of mine.
I strode out of the classroom toward my locker when I see a dark figure leaning aganist it.
I smile despite myself.
I walk up to him.
"Excuse me Alaric but that's my locker." I say shifting the books in my arm to the other arm.
He steps to the side and I spin the digits to open my locker and it opens with a click.
"So how was class?" he asks as people whisper and stare at us-the two goths in school.
I just shrug.
I gather my books for English and shut my locker.
We start walking without a word.
Suddenly Alric starts asking me questions.
Like what my favourite flower is, my fave book, my birthday. Things like that.

Finally we reach the other side of school where our English class is held.
Alaric,like a gentlemen, holds the door open for me.

We take our seats and class begins.

"Miss Lakrissa Wolf please answer the question." My teacher Mr.Young says to me in front of the class.

"Yes I did do the assignment. Thanks for asking." I say.

"Please read the poem up here in the front."

I slide out of my chair and glide to the front.

'My poem is about a girl who has an unusal talent." I say.

She looks around me at the crowd.
She can see the tinted glow to their skin.
but one person in particular catches her eye.

Then the bell rings signaling the end of school.


Alaric walks me out to my truck where he is parked on the other side of the lot.

"So Lakrissa....want to go running tomorrow?" Alaric asks calmly.

I nod tiredly. I wondered why I was so-so tired

all the time.

"See you tommorrow morning then, bye." Alaric says making his way to his car.

I climb into my warm truck and start the engine.

I drive to my apartment where I park and sit down on the steps leading up to my apartment.

As soon as I sit down a major headache hits me.

I rub my temples trying to get rid of it.
Then I look down at my leg and it's glow has changed to a darker black, if that was possible.
Crap. I'm pretty sure that this was a sign that things are going to get worse from now on.


The next morning right as the sun rises Alaric arives.
We set off to the forest trails for running.

As we drive Skillet starts pounding from the radio.
We rock out in campoinable silence.

Despite just meeting I felt safe and secure around him as if he had been my best friend since childhood.

We run together and we talk while we run.
"So Lakrissa do you like it here in Forest city?" Alaric asks keeping his eyes on the trail.
"I love it. Even more so since I have already made a friend." I say smiling to myself.
Out of the corner of my eye I see Alaric smile too.
I look around me at all the glowly green trees.
Yes I can even see the aura's of trees.
I can see the aura of all living things.
