The Earth Shifter

I still can’t believe what I saw moments ago. My mind can’t understand it. Why was I glowing and covered with golden writings?

I think I should call my parents and ask them if they had lied to me about finding me on a fallen UFO from the sky. I could be an alien who was living all of these years totally unaware of who I am. I was living in the human disguise all of my life.

Wow! I know for a fact now that I’ve lost the slightest drop of logical thinking from my mind. Just sit with that guy for fifteen minutes and then you’re a total maniac.

“Have you been through this before?” He asked me after we sat on the golden shore. I had surrendered to the truth of his ability and mine. It’s no use of denying it since I’ve seen it with my own eyes ,and in his case, felt it. It’s just a waste of time for denying the unquestionable fact.

“No, but I don’t get why you told me about yours in the first place and made sure that I believe you?” I asked him.

“Well, It probably means nothing for you” I said it and then stopped. He was completely wrong although I didn’t agree on the way he tried to prove it but I appreciated that he’s chosen to tell me.

“But for me it was something important. You see, I was turned down a lot more that you think not only in jobs but also in social life. Every time I tell someone about it they freak out and don’t believe me. And that much of rejection was growing into unbearable pressure. It was making me stand on the verge of hating myself.” He dropped it all on the table and his unreasonable actions were coming into some sort of explanation. And I kept listening to him.

“So I decided to prove that I’m not lying to everybody that I’ll meet from now on. So I would be able to share my life with people in an honest way. And for your luck you were the first one to witness it and actually believe me.”

“What a luck,” I say. Then I asked him: “Do you still wanna hate yourself?” He really seems like the type of guy to take so many decisions and actually stick to it.

“No, not anymore. You were a total stranger and put up with me more than any of my family and friends.” He said and I smiled because it was the first time someone has showed me that I’m actually helping and have an importance in this world. Although I didn’t do anything to be mentioned.

“I still haven’t forgiven you for cutting my air supply,” I told him bluntly. Now, if we were in another situation this would’ve meant something totally different. Also the sea, the shore and the orange romantic sunset is completing the picture.

He sighed, “What was I supposed to do then? You wouldn’t have believed me in any other way,” He defended himself.

“Still that’s not an excuse for nearly killing me and I also don’t think it’s a stunning first impression to chock people. It makes a bad reputation.” I told him.

“You may have a point here but I wasn’t going to kill you anyways. I was just showing you.”

“Well, please next time think of something a little less painful.” I advise him.

“Okay, promise.” He said smiling and he picked my white cap up from the ground and dusted the sand away then handed it to me.

“I’m sorry,” He exclaimed. I looked into his eyes that nearly talked out loud to say that he really was sorry. These fake grey eyes which were nearly invisible because of the orange sun light the only thing you can make out from them is only the dark outline.

I stopped gapping at his eyes and took the cap from him smiling and don’t ask me why. I haven’t got the slightest idea.

“That’s alright.” I stopped shortly wondering if I should speak my feelings out loud but it’s just me. It’s always really hard to keep them bottled up and I don’t get the idea of not saying them anyways.

“I really don’t know why I’m forgiving you for doing such a terrible thing but I’m sure it’s not because of that crappy excuse and to be honest with you, if you were someone different I would’ve chopped his head off from the first two seconds. I like you.” I mirrored my feelings simply to him.

“I’m really glad that you didn’t do that.” He exclaimed laughing and I laughed with him. I’m really glad that I didn’t do it too because he turned out to be a very nice guy.

“And... I like you too, Amber.” He told me with an honest expression of appreciation.

“So, Does this mean we’re friends now?” He asked looking at the horizon.

“Sure,” I answered without a second thought and I’ve no idea how this guy turned from being my killer to my friend. But I’ve got to admit he has a different influence on me that makes me treat him in a totally different way from the other people.

I’ve finally made my first friend in this place.

We sat quietly watching the soft small waves. I was just starting to enjoy the view when I had a shower of sand mixed with salty sea water over my head.

Well, that’s nice.
