Avery

My gaze stays out the window, “I was happy. So, happy." Small smile forms on my face, “So full of life. When I came home that day. I cracked into a million pieces. Mind. Body. Soul." My head shakes, and I turn towards Jeff.

"For a child to see their parent the way I did would devastate anyone. But for me. I just had to be different." I laugh, my fingers tapping on my thigh.

Everyone’s attention was squarely on me. Eyes intently considering my face. My words.

"I think seeing dad lifeless. Just lying there in his own blood is what broke whatever lock that was holding back my empathic abilities. I didn’t notice it until the ward at Green Bier. Me being weaned off the sedatives probably helped with that. I started to get these little blips of feelings. They’d come and go like a strong wind. Pain. Anger. Lust. They were the more common ones." My cold chuckle vibrates through the room, “The more the medicine wore off, the more feelings I got. The stronger they became. To feel all of that on top of what I was already feeling, going through that alone would make a crazy person quite insane. I wanted it out. I wanted it to stop.” I look down at my arms and the pale silvery scars left by my fingernails, I sigh.

“Eventually I learned to block it out. Barricade the feelings from getting in. It just so happens I blocked my own emotions also." I sigh and turn back towards the window. The evening rays are shining through, warming my face.

"I was blissfully empty. I don’t want that to change. Then came the ribbons. The ethereal colored ribbons that floated around and through people. At first, I didn’t know what I was seeing. I thought I really was crazy. But the more I watched the people around me, the more I figured it out." I turn back towards Jeff. His face is blank as paper.

"I was seeing people’s emotions. These colored ribbons that danced and teased me are people’s emotions. And Here I thought I was a freak in till I came. Then I learned I’m just a bigger freak in a freaky world."

"Avery." It’s a soft-hearted whisper.

My head snaps towards Camron. Tears track down his cheeks.

"That man out there was not a nice person." I snap, “I could see it. I could feel it."

Camron blanches and ducks further behind a sneering Aden.

I turn back to Jeff.

"I hungered for his ribbons. His emotions. They were so dark. Filled with vile feelings. So, I took them." I laugh.

They all stare at me. I can hear the minutes and seconds tick away. Echoing from the big Grandfather clock in the corner of the room.

"I don’t know what to say." Jeff shakes his head. "They’re so much stuff we don’t know about you. How different you really are." He steps closer, “I am truly sorry Avery. For an Empath to go through their awakening is a tough time. But for you to have no idea what was going on and the place you were in.
