Chapter 13 ~ Barry
We walked home after Chloe had her rampant mood swing. We talked for a time before she went to bed.
After she had done so, she got me thinking. She had asked me about the extra power of my Gift, and I didn't have an answer. What was my extra ability? I set to drawing. I thought of all the materials that could show me what it was. Paper, drawing tools, earasers, the works. I laid it all out, and began testing. I drew a small ball, and set it down. What now?
I stared at it, but obviously nothing happened. I decided it was time for the next test, which was the exact same thing. This happened over and over again, until I got a new sheet of paper, but this time I used pen. I didn't like using pen, it was harder to add details or depth to my drawings, but I had to try. I drew another ball, and set it down. Would it need to dry first?
I picked the paper back up, and blew across it so it would dry quicker. That didn't happen. Out of what seemed to be the paper popped out a ball. It rolled across my desk, and stopped. I stared at it for a straight five minutes as I tried to comprehend what had just happened.
I reached out, and was able to grab the ball, that was in shades of black and gray. I quickly set to draw another picture of something. Roses were the first idea to pop into my head. I drew them as quick as I could, and once I blew across them as well, they popped off the page onto my desk. I was extactic. In all my time here, I finally found it.
I decided to try it with pencil but when I blew on it, nothing happened. Guess I had to stick with pen. Then the most obvious thought came to mind. Could I color it?
I pulled out of my drawer a pack of colored pencils and markers that I had never used. I ripped it open and threw the packaging to the floor. I set to drawing another set of flowers, and let it dry before coloring them in beautiful shades.
Once that was done I blew on the photo, and the colorful blossoms came out into my hand. It seemed that any coloring utensil would work.
I began to experiment with everything, I drew food that had flavor, flowers with smell, and objects that bounced, rolled, and moved as they should.
I wanted to shout out loud, but I didn't dare wake Chloe. I had been waiting so long for this, and I had found it. I had a special ability, I had a good Gift.
As I tried to draw a new object, I heard the door open. I jumped and in that moment, I rushed to clean up the mess I had made.
