CHAPTER 1 Distinction

It was a gloomy July 31. Marissa awoke not to the sound of cheerful birds but to the sound of rain on the roof. She cautiously tiptoed to her window to peer outside. The sky was covered with a grey blanket of deppresion. Which was not uncomon in Oregon. Marissa contemplated on whether she should get dressed and go down stairs or just go back to sleep with the rain as her lullaby. * screw it * she mumbled as she made her way to the door in her pjs. She walked silently into the kitchen surprise no one was there. She opened the pantry and retrieved her breakfast cerial. She could hear the clicking and tapping of the keyboard keys so she knew her mom was up. Munching on her breakfast she ambled to the library door which was always shut. She knew she should not disturb her mom so she went back up to her room. Once safe in her own territory she plopped down on her bed.She knew she shoul start packing after all she had to leave the day after tommorow to go to god knows where to learn about what the heck she was and how to control and master her powers. Marissa let her mind drift back to the day she discovered her powers. It was the day she turned 12 and a half. It was a day she decided to go for a stroll in the woods behind her house. She took a path to Catail Lake. She took off her shoes and waded aways out . She closed her eyes and she felt an odd rising sensation she looked down and she was on top of the water. Panicking she runs for the house she barely stops as she opens the door heading strait to her room slaming the door and locking it. She doubts her mother will notice the loud bang of the door but who cares. Trembling she stumbles to the floor curling up into a ball * what just happened * her voice trembled . As these words were said her window opens up due to a rather unormal gust of wind. Looking up from she only sees a raven. Picking herself up to shoo the raven away she notices the raven is no longer there but was replaced by a man. Marissa recognizes him its her godfather. * How did you get in my room?* her voice full of questioning. * The same way you walked on water my dear. O how Ive waited and hoped you would be one of us* Ralph replied in a deep set voice. Confused and shocked she wondered how did he know I walked on water? But something of greater interest caught her attention. * What Exactly do you mean when you say one of you* she forced these words out into a calm question. Smirking he replies * im a wizard and you are witch*. The memory fades as Marissa comes back to the present . Looking around her room she sees books and clothes scatter all around sighing she shrinks under the covers letting procrastination win . She drifts off to enjoy a long nap.
