Darkness

Chapter 1

" I fucking hate it here. There's nothing to do and we don't even have a tv. Plus you're a psychotic bitch, that's why i'm leaving." Oh my God, I just yelled at Iliana. Iliana and Emmalina are my triplet sisters. Emmalina is always stuck in her room. She never comes out unless she wants something to eat or has to do something. Iliana, on the other hand, is a straight A student, captain of the pep squad, and most popular girl in our school. We live by ourselves because on our thirteenth birthday, our parents were found murdered.
I'm leaving to find a safe place to live where my sister's  powers aren't looming over me. I want to go far away, somewhere where I'm not looked down upon. I'm called a freak in my own home. I get that I'm sarcastic as fuck, but nobody has the right to judge me. As I get further away from the house, I know Iliana is going to try to stop me, I can feel it. The tree in front of me is suddenly getting further away. She's using her power to make me walk backwards.
" Addie, quit being so damn selfish. I'm tired of all your drama. I almost had to call Emma and god knows I don't even want to look at her." I can't help but roll my eyes at how blonde Ana is. I'm glad I'm a ginger. I just wish that my powers were as strong as theirs are. I want to be in control sometimes. Every witch has a certain power that they are Gifted with. Emma can manipulate time, Ana can manipulate minds, and me? I can pretty much just turn on and of lights without using my hands. As I approach Iliana, I raise my fist, about to take a swing at her. "No no no, we'll have none of that," Iliana smirks at my fist stuck inches from her face.
God, I hate how much control she has over me and my body. Stuck in this awkward position, Iliana circles me. "Go inside and stop acting like a baby. And I better not find you pouting anywhere. " As I walk into the house, I slam the door and sprint up to my room. I lock the door and search for C.J., my cat. "Here, kitty kitty kitty. Here, kitty kitty kitty." She crawls from beneath the bed and saunters towards me. I scoop her up and lay down on my bed, shoes on still. I start to drift of into a blissful fantasy. I can sense that it's the same one I've had for weeks, with the brown haired boy with blue eyes.
He's always too far to reach, but never too far to see. There is no sound, only us reaching, but never touching. Some nights he's farther away, other nights he's so close I can smell him. I awake to the sound of gentle knocks on the door. "Iliana, if that's you, you'd better be prepared to take me on , cause if I open that door, I'm going to beat the shit out of you." "It's Emma, I need to talk to you." I scrambled out of bed and unlocked the door. Standing there was Emmalina dressed in sweats and a hoodie, her long black hair in a loose ponytail, waiting for me. "What do you need," I wonder, allowing Emma in my room. She walked to my bed and sat down, motioning for me to do the same. " I've been doing research on why your powers are so weak and I think I might have figured it out. I was looking through some old books and there is a very rare Gift that I think you have. The ability to manipulate space. You can create wormholes and create matter. I'm going to give you some exercises that will help control it, now let's get to work."
