When Avery's mother dies, she finds out secrets that have been hidden from her. And just when it seems to be getting more complicated, she meets the boy with the green eyes...
**FANTASY**
There she was, my mom, lying in the hospital bed, motionless and pale. Her blushed cheeks arent so blushed anymore, like someone had taken all of the colour in her face and then just left her. I just stood there holding her cold hand,hoping there was something i could do to make her well again. Dad went to go get a coffee as he hasnt eaten in a day. I thought to myself "Why? Why her? She can't just leave us! She has 3 children and a husband!". I wiped a tear from my eye. Suddenly i felt her hand tighten around mine. I looked at her. Her eyes opened.
"Avery", she said in a soft tone "My child, I am sorry that have to go".
I started crying again. "Mom", I said ", Please dont go".
"Avery, it's time for me to go.Take this." she said as she removed her necklace from her neck and put it in my hand. It's a beautiful necklace, it was a 'glowing' blue jewel in the shape of a heart with a silver frame. When light hits the jewel it shines so bright,so magical.

I couldnt help but burst into tears.
"Avery, I wont leave you I will always be with you", she said calmly ," and I'm sorry for keeping this from you but Avery, you are special. You were not born the same as your friends. You and your brothers are...." . Her voice drained away.
"Mom? Mom!", I started to panic. I shook her to try and get her to wake up. Nothing. I felt her pulse. Nothing. She was gone.
"Nurse!"I yelled. "Nurse!".
Nurse Ally came into the hospital room. "Sweetie I'm sorry but you have to go now", she told me.
I let go of my mom's hand. I had to go. As I walked out of the hospital room I looked back at my mom. Her necklace was still in my hand, a tear fell from my face. I put the necklace in my pocket and walked to the canteen to tell my dad and brothers.
The canteen had a unique smell of old people and tuna. I could see my dad stirring his coffee and my brothers were on their phones. I walked over to them and sat down.
"Hi guys",I said still crying. Every one looked up at me.
"What happened?", asked my oldest brother Ethan.
"She's gone", I said under my breath. My dad stood up and said
"I'm going to her. Boys bring your sister home". He walked out the canteen.
"Let's go",said my second oldest brother,Kyle. My brothers brought me home .
I went straight to my room and threw myself on my bed. I cried into my pillow. My moms last words echoed in my head "You were not born the same as your friends.You and your brothers are....You and your brothers are.....You and your brothers are....". Me and my brothers are what? What are we? I fell asleep crying and thinking.
I dreamt about a woman with wings,wearing a white dress holding an orb of some kind.She had her back turned to me but i could still kind of see what she was doing. I looked around,the place was unfamiliar to me.
Then she turned to me and said "Your mother was right about you,darling.You are special. I'm here to warn you about danger in your future".Her voice was very gentle, i felt like i could trust her. But maybe thats what she wanted me to think.
"Who are you?", I asked ", why am i here?".
"You are gifted", she said as she started to fade away. Then i was alone.
"Hello?!", I yelled ",Angel woman? Where did you go? What do you mean I'm gifted?"
Then I woke up and sat up in my bed. What did that mean? Was it a sign? I stood up and walked over to my mirror.My eyes were all puffy from the crying last night. I noticed that i was still in my clothes from yesterday. I could smell something cooking from downstairs.Pancakes?
