The gift I had
Chapter 1:
Something Impossible
As I was running through the woods,I could hear my heart beating.It was so loud I thought it was going to jump right out of my chest.This was what I hated about my stupid 'gift'...it's what 'they' called it......Along with the sound of my beating heart,I could hear others too.Fast,slow or average speed.I could hear them all. If only 'that' hadn't happened,I could've been with my big brother right now.... And he wouldn't be in his current state........dead.
It all started about a few months back,I was quietly reading my HADDIXC book on the mint green,hard yet comfortable sofa in 'our' little house...if you're wondering who 'our' consists of,it's my brother,Jake,and I.The birds were tweeting as the silent breeze blew by.My rough,brunette hair got caught in my mouth as the wind was a little stronger that morning.Jake was at the other corner of the room.He was listening to his music while leaning his back on the dirty-shade-of-yellow wall,just minding his own business.It was a Saturday,the only day I was truly free.The other days occupied me with jobs.I thought I could lay back or at least not get my mind pre-occupied but the lights were flickering.How can I lay back when I can't even read peacefully??
I started to get really irritated.....it was like an insect buzzing in my ear..yeah..it was that irritating..
Suddenly,I heard a loud bang as the wooden door flew down to the ground.At that split second,Jake got from the other corner of the room to where I was and blocked me from the broken pieces of the door flying towards me..well,us.
I was lost in my head...My arms and legs couldn't move...My whole body wouldn't move...I didn't know what to do...Suddenly,all there was,was darkness.....there was no light to be found anywhere,some might call it....pitch black...I regained consciousness twenty minutes later next to a mint green sofa in a room with a-very-dirty-shade-of-yellow painted walls.. "Wait,isn't this my house?"I said.Confused and pale,I looked around..The next thing I saw was Jake lying there,injured badly.. "OMG!JAKE!! You're injured!"I shouted while I called the ambulance.My memory came back to me and I started to understand what had happened,piece by piece.......No one was there except for Jake and I.
-AVWE-

I had many questions in my head.... "Wait,wait,wait....I'm not the one asking these questions...why in the world would I ask questions I already know the answer to?" That was when I felt the tingling sensation in my brain and the voices in my head started to sound.......some were soft as if they were a mile away and some were loud like they were just beside me.... "WHAT's going on?!?!" It was rather freaky to hear voices in my head when I was sure they weren't mine...in fact,none of them were.....
The voices were getting louder by the second.I tried not to get distracted by them...but my resistance failed me as I was still in a daze.......everything was still blurry...."Concentrate on putting pressure to Jake's wound," I told myself...it was the only thing I could think of..
The voices went on for what seemed like hours and finally died down by sundown....fortunately,the ambulance had only taken about 10 minutes to arrive.....I sighed...
"Why did this have to happen to us?What have we/I done to ask for this sort of supernatural activity?"I muttered tiredly.
Jake was given immediate attention and I was let into his room."I'm not leaving his side..."I said confidently.Sat by his side and eventually collapsed in exhaustion from all the things happening, in Jake's hospital bed..I'm just glad that the voices aren't in my head anymore....at least..for now..
I woke up to find Jake missing and a small note replaced his presence.The note said:
-AVWE-
