Abnormal

I lay on my bed tiredly, my back began to relieve me a bit so I could lay comfortably on the bed

I fixed my eyes on the door patiently waiting for the healer to arrive.

Finally, there was a Knock at the door

Come in!!! i shouted sitting up from my bed

The door creaked open, and a woman with long, brown hair and pale skin entered the room, she didn't look like a mutant or magic user.

There was nothing supernatural about her aura, I don't know how but supernatural beings like my kind usually have a distinguishing aura from other creatures, you'd know as soon as you see us.

But this woman standing before me

She looked almost like,

like a hunter!

She wore a long gold dress, and a silver crescent moon pendant hung around her neck, she looked up at me and I saw her big brown eyes, they were Just like mine.

I'd never seen anyone with brown eyes in eleftheria since I got here, their eye colour ranged from blue, to silver, to green but never brown.

"Hello Dear," the healer began with a gentle voice,

"My name is Elara, what's your name? she asked politely

Didn't Thane already tell you, i replied sharply

I don't know why but I didn't feel good about her, she had a native accent like the people from arcsville

He did, but he didn't mention you've got quite the temper, I'm Just trying to be nice dear and if you want there would be no conversation between us, I'd just do what I came for and leave, I just thought it'd be nice to lighten the air with a conversation and possibly know the person I'm healing, she said

"I'm Arlie, Arlie Archer"

Well it's nice to meet you, Arlie Archer " she said and came towards me extending her hand for a hand shake

I took it and we shook briefly

I've heard alot about you dear, she said sitting at the edge of my bed.

From Thane? I can imagine, I replied

"Don't worry love, they were all praises"

Why was she being so nice, is anyone this nice?

I heard about the fight, you broke a wall, she said dropping her bag and taking some things out

Yeah, well it's difficult trying to keep your already unstable powers in check when people are always throwing side talks at you, I replied

"Oh dear, I understand but your powers are a gift, the biggest gift given to you, you're such a special girl"

Special's Just another word for abnormal, I replied

Yhunno what, she said

Take this pen, she said pulling out a pen from her bag, it's a gift.

I collected it from her

You can choose to draw a really good picture with it or stab someone's heart out with it, but either way it's Just a pen, a gift I gave to ya.

And what you choose to do with your gift is entirely up to you, you can choose to learn to control your powers and your temper and rescue thousands of our people from the venatores, or you could never learn to control them and Just listen to every side talks about you and kill everyone who dares to talk against you.

I began to think deeply about everything she Just said

She smiled and stood up, her eyes were fixed on my dress. "Now, let's take a look at those wounds of yours. Lie down, child, and let me see what we're dealing with."

I lay down on the bed, my face pressed into the pillow. Elara unzipped my dress, and i felt a gentle touch on my back. But then, Elara's touch hesitated, and i heard a sharp intake of breath

"Arlie, child... Your wounds... They're gone."

I sat up immediately, my eyes widened in shock. "What do you mean? I could feel them, I could see them... How can they be gone?"

Elara's face was pale, her eyes were fixed on my back. "I don't know, you were struck with a very dangerous poison child, the only thing that could've healed those wounds are the venom from the one who struck you, and I know you and Lyra aren't friends for her to willingly give you her venom, so this is just strange

I've never seen anything like this.

My heart raced, and my mind spinned with questions. What's happening to me? Why did my wounds heal so fast?

I'll go get thane, just relax a bit child

I'll be right back, Elara said calmly and exited the room leaving me on a state of confusion.

Why does everything about me have to be sooooooo ABNORMAL!!!!!

motivation from my readers will encourage me to drop more chapters (⁠✿⁠^⁠‿⁠^⁠)
