The X-Project

But it was real. I can't believe what happened so I'm just going to write it down like I used to do with my dreams when I was younger. This is my kind of therapy.

I was going into the Tunnels with a bunch of the other kids from school. We knew we'd be safe there. Especially me with my black eyes and wings, I pretty much stand out on the Surface World. So I had to go into the Tunnels. It was nice down there, I guess. I don't remember really... except for a feeling of closeness, family, low light, soothing. Then there were there huge letters popping into existence. RUN! They were coming to take us away from our home! I ran away as fast as I could with Klara. I think it was Klara because of the plants. A vine came out of her hand and she used it to knock a bone out of the hand of the thing that was chasing us. It was jealous of us because we were in its home! I used my dust too, and I thought we got away. But we didn't. Then were was a bright light. I woke up dirty, wet, horrified. We were back on the Surface World. But this was where we belong.

How could I get tricked like that? I feel so vulnerable. Why couldn't I have powers that prevent me from mind control? That would be useful, unlike my stupid dust. Although I wouldn't trade in flying for any power in the world.
