"What's this?"  Charles asked, looking the strange gift.

"Is a shell." A hard granite shell.

"Why is he giving you a shell! Have you ever told him that you love shells 🐚?" Charles queried.

"As you know, I've never talked with him. Anyway, it's a nice gift. I love shells, especially seashell" I took the gift and inserted it in my bag.

Charles frowned in disapproval. 

"C'mon is just a gift. I guess he gave me what he can afford." I said.

He sighed and shrugged.

Together, we walked home. Neither of us spoke about the Shell and I didn't tell him about the strange butterfly tattoo on my breast. 

........................................................

Ever since I turned sixteen, strange things have been happening to me.

First, the tattoo. Then I noticed something magical in me. I can foresee.

It started this morning, Dad was walking past me and suddenly I went into a sudden trance. In the trance, Dad walked to the kitchen and slipped on the floor.

Just when I opened my eyes, I heard Dad groaned from the kitchen. 

Then I saw him. Butt on the floor.

"I slipped" he said as I helped him up.

The second one happened when I was going to school, I suddenly had a vision. In the vision, two cars; a Ferrari and a Truck, collided and the driver of one died instantly.

To my luck, there was no car on the road, meaning that the vision won't work.

To my surprise, a red Ferrari car rode into the street with a speed above 120km. 

I wanted to stop the driver, to yell at him to reduce his speed. Unfortunately a big sewage truck was coming from the other end of the street, with a speed higher than the first.

The next thing I heard was the sound of a collision, loud and disastrous.

The red car caught flames and from where I stood, I could see the driver's head against his chair while his dead tongue hung out of his mouth and mocked the world.

Constant terror had siphoned and drained me, even though somehow I always seemed to be in a lull, a strange pocket of emptiness into which I was the only eye witness to the scene.

I ran out of the street and head to the school where I immediately got hit by a strange wave of nausea.

I threw up at the school gate; thanks to God, no one was there.

When I get to the class, I was like someone who just escaped from the threshold of death.

Everyone looked at me, including the teacher.

Then I had a vision where the teacher called me a Moron.

And it happened, he indeed called me a Moron.

I rolled my eyes and walked to my seat. I glanced at the strange guy on hood, I waved a Hi! at him. He didn't respond.

After the teacher left the class, I stood up and walked to the front of the class. 

"Hi everyone, I've got something to say to you all!" I said.

They all looked at me curiously. 

The strange guy on hood didn't bother to stare at me.

"May I have all your attention, please!" 

"What does a moron have to say to the class!" Said Daniel; the forever bully in the class.

I rolled my eyes and ignored him, just as I started to say something. The strange guy speak.

He said something in either French, Latin or Greek.

Whatever it is, it wasn't a language I've heard before.

It was like a recitation or incantation. His voice sounded like gods. A thunder roared so loud as he spoke that no one get to hear the complete sentence of what he said. A wind blew into the class. Light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.

Everyone screamed in terror. I stood and watched him, I watched his mouth move. His eyes were like the sun. His voice was a torrent amplified by the thunderbolt.

And then he stopped talking

As fast as it came, it left; the wind and the thunderbolt.

The mystery guy sat back on his chair. No one needed to convince each other, everyone ran out of the class, screaming in fear.

But I didn't move an inch.

I stared at the guy.

He was staring back at me.

Charles was by the door, screaming for me to run. I didn't bulge.

The guy casted a furtive glance at Charles and he fled off.

Alone with him, he said something to me, not with mouth but with eyes.

His eyes were now blue, deep blue. Then he opened his mouth and I saw the teeth. Long sharp canine teeth. 

"You...you...are a... vampire?" As soon as I said it, I ran.

.........................................................

"When everybody's talking, then no one is talking." The principal said to the crowd of eager students around him.

"I just need one person to speak!" He cautioned.

Kathy was the one who spoke. Her voice shook with terror but she still managed to explain the situation to the principal.

After her narration, the principal exclaimed "Incredible! Are you guys all mad."

"We're serious, it happened right there in the class!" Jake shouted.

"I'm not deaf and my office is not soundproof, why then did I not hear the thunder that you speak of?" He asked.

We all exchanged glances.

"You must've heard it. It was loud enough" Charles ventured.

"Unfortunately, I didn't. By the way, who is this boy you are a talking about?" 

"The Mysterious Boy, I don't know his name, neither do any of us. He started new and he hasn't talked to anyone, not even once." This time, I was the one who spoke.

The Principal shook his head. "As far as I know, there's no new student in this school. If there is, I would've known."

Again, we exchanged puzzled glances.

"Take me to him" The principal said.

We were like children who saw a ghost. We took the Principal by hand and led him to our classroom.

When we got there, the classroom was empty. The strange guy wasn't there.

"Are you guys playing me a prank" The principal queried, quite offended.

"I was the last who left the class and he was right there before I left." I pointed to his desk at the end of the class.

"This is strange, I'm going home" Mollie cried and took her backpack.

"Wait for me, please" Kathy said. 

And then everyone started grabbing there bag.

As I took mine, Daniel grabbed my hands "You knew something about that boy, don't you? Aren't you his girlfriend?" He asked.

When I don't answer, he squeezed my arm so tight.

"Let me go!" I cried.

"I won't, or else you tell me who the hell is that boy"

I was crying now, his grip was firm. 

I used my left hand and pinched his fist.

To my surprise, he left me as if shocked by an electric.

His eyes widen with terror as he stared at the fist which I just pinched.

To my surprise, he started bleeding. Small splatter of blood dropped from his hand.

The blood poured non stop.

"Shit! Shit!" Daniel said continuously

Charles handed his a white handkerchief which he wrapped around the wound.  To our surprise, the handkerchief became fully soaked with blood.

He was bleeding real bad.

"Oh my God. Amaya what have you done?" Charles gasped as blood fill the floor of the classroom.

"It was just a little pinch" I said with fear.

He was loosing so much blood. So much!

Terror fill the class even more, when Daniel fell to the floor, breathless and dead.

"Amaya!!!!!!"
