Chapter 4: The gifted program
Flashes of images went through my head almost feeling too real for comfort. Fire, yelling, screaming. The house was on fire and I was yelling at Cieto asking him what did he do. The scene switched to me running and yelling for my parents, whatever I had seen in my parents room made me scream, a screeching cry, it echoed through the house and soon the firemen busted through the door and a guy came in first calling my name, I never seen him before he had short dirty blonde hair and green eyes. "AMELIA!"
I jumped up from my sleep and find my mom and dad next to me. "Oh thank God!" My mom hugged me tight and cried. I looked around and seen that I was laying on the floor.
"Are you okay?" My dad asked. Tears was falling out of his eyes too.
I nodded, "What happened?"
"You had a seizure."
My mom finally pulled herself together and smiled at me. "I'm just glad your alright." Her and dad exchanged looks and mom looked back at me, "Do you want to sleep with us tonight." I smiled and nodded.
Dad helped me up to my feet and we all walked next door. I turned back to see Cieto standing in the room, the door slammed behind us.
The next morning me, mom, dad, and of course Cieto went on a drive to the hospital to get a check up. I hated hospitals ever since I watched a scary movie about doctors opening up people to see what made them tick. I also hate churches because of the excorist movie, they really tried to make demons seem evil and I knew Cieto wasn't like them.
We walked inside and I seen that this was a way different hospital then the one I usually go to. The large sign inside said, 'Mental Institution For Gifted Individuals.'
"Can I help you?" The lady at the counter asked.
"Yes, we're looking for Doctor Lucas Vernan."
The lady looked at me and then back at my parents, "Are you his 2 o'clock?" They nodded, "He's on the 4Th floor, straight down, last door to your right."
"Thank you." My dad held my hand and we walked towards the elevator.
"Your welcome and welcome to our gifted program Amelia." I turned around feeling weird that some stranger knew my name. She smiled at me and waved.
The elevator came and we got on. "Mom?"
She looked at me as the door closed, "Don't you want to hit the button?"
"Cieto wants to do it."
She looked at dad and then back at me, "Sure sweetie." I closed my eyes and Cieto pressed 4 on the elevator panel. My parents jumped back, "What the..."
I looked at them, "What?"
My parents looked at me like I was a killer or something. The elevator stopped and the door opened. About 5 people walked in as we were getting out. They were walking faster then usual, leaving me behind to catch up.
I peaked in the rooms we passed, I seen this one boy lifting a object without his hands and there was some dark mist behind him, it looked at me with red eyes. I walked quicker to catch up. "Cieto do you know these guys?"
"If your insinuating that all demons know eachother then it's false, besides even if I did I wouldn't remember."
"Why not?"
"I've been through a lot more then making friends anyone I met before I met you is nothing more then a distant memory."
"Oh..." We walked into a room where a few kids waited with their parents, there was another door marked Doctor Lucas office, supernatural researcher and professional in special occurrences.
The door swung open and a little boy who looked 4 walked out with his head low, a nurse walked behind him out of the other door.
A man with short blonde hair looked at me with his bright green eyes as he held the room to the office open, my body shivered and a image flashed in my head of him calling my name, "Are you Amelia?" His voice sounded the same as the one in my dream.
I nodded, "Yes."
"Come in." He moved to the side to let me in. I looked at my parents and they nodded in approval. I walked inside and he closed the door behind me. He passed me a lollipop off his desk and sat down, taking out a empty folder with my name on it and a sheet of paper. "My name is Doctor Lucas, you can call me Luke if you'd like, i'm here to help you."
Cieto looked on edge as he stared at Lucas, "Help?"
"He's trying to get rid of me Amelia you can't let him do that."
He looked at me as I turned to Cieto, "If your friend thinks I'm trying to get him out of you he's wrong, i'm only trying to help get you too in sync so no one gets hurt."
I looked at him, "You can see Cieto?"
"No, but I've dealt with people like yourself, people with demons inside of them."
I looked over at Cieto, "How is he going to help us?"
I looked at Doctor Lucas, "He wants to know how you plan to help us?"
"Basic tests, procedures, analysis, etc. You see the only way we can help you is to know how you too work as a single individual and these tests help us do that."
"I don't trust him."
"But Cieto..."
"No Amelia, we don't need his help all we need is eachother you know that."
I looked back at Doctor Lucas, "We don't need help."
"A demons power is uncontrollable when matched with a human especially a kid who's body is still fragile, understand your presence can kill her if we don't help you and her sync."
I turned to Cieto, "Is that true?"
Cieto sighed and nodded, "Fine..." he vanished.
Doctor Lucas seen my expression and nodded, "So we're in agreement?"
"As long as we can stay together."
"Of course of course. You will be coming twice a day." He had written a whole page from our 5 minute conversation, front and back.
I faked a smile as he put his final thoughts and put the sheet of paper into his folder. "It was great meeting you Amelia." He stood up and extended his hand out for a hand shake, I shook his hand and immediately a flash of images ran through my head, none of which I could understand.
I let go and jumped back, "Your wife and daughter are..." He looked at me in shock.
"Lets make that 3 days a week." He opened the door and let me out. I had seen a whole life flash before my eyes, but it wasn't my life...it was his.
