Orcale (An Orginal Story, NOT a Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

Everything started the day I painted my walls orange, when I was seven. I had always liked that color, and it took me months to convince my mum to let me paint my room. That summer, she finally allowed me to, with help of course. The first day I started painting, something odd happended.

I had something like a dream. In the dream like thing, my mom and my brother were fighting. But Leo was only 16 and he was seventeen in the dream. He turned seventeen a month after that day, the day with the orange paint. He snuck out of the house, and my mum was yelling at him for it. I was sitting on the top of the steps, waiting for Leo to come up and tell me that everything was ok, that he somehow clamed mom down. But I could hear the yelling, even though I couldn't see any of it.

Then, as quick as it happend, it was over. My arm was still in place at where I was going to start painting. It was like nothing had happend. I continued painting, and everything was fine. By the end of the day, with a lot of colorful swearing (on Leo's part) and laughing , my room was orange.

The day after that, a similar thing happended, but it was something else. I remember that my mom was in a wedding dress, walking down an asile in a church. She was getting married. But it was odd, because at the time she was still married to my father. I didn't think anything of it, but something like that happend every day, but none of the events had happend yet.

Untill three months after the day of the orange paint. Leo was seventeen, and he had left out of the window at six o clock that evening, and told me not to tell anyone. I didn't. But my mom found out what he did, and I heard the same argument I had heard three months earlier. And I knew right then that I had the sight. The thing that only happens to people in books.

I could see the future. Sure, I couldn't see anything useful, like lottery numbers, and I couldn't control what I saw back then, but I thought it was cool. Only later did I figure out that there is just about a million problems with seeing the future.

Visions could happen at the worst time possible. They caused headaches like you would now believe. If anyone found out, I'd be under a microscope and have a bunch of tests done. They might also lock me up in the asylum. Or I might become a freak show in a circus. All would be equally bad. (especially since I'm afraid of clowns. They are the ultimate creepers) So I had to keep it an absoulte secret. I couldn't tell anyone, not even Elle, my best friend in the whole world.

Speaking of Elle, I hear the phone ringing from downstairs. I sighed, and ran down the stairs, still in my pajams, and not in my bridesmaid dress like I was supposed to be.

"Hey Andy! So, the weddings today?" Elle asks as soon as I pick up the phone.

"Yeah. At least mother isn't making me change my last name to Stinkenheimer." I said. Today is the day that I saw in my second vision. Today is my mothers wedding. Correction, her second wedding. She was married to my father untill last year.

"Ugh. Good point. Text me when it's over, ok?" Elle groans into the phone. She's met my soon-to-be-stepfather, and she hates him as much as I do.

"I just might text you during the wedding. It's boudn to be the dullest event of the year. Gotta run, bye Elle!" I say into the phone as I hang up. I run up the stairs. I have to get in the extreamly ugly purple bridesmaid dress. It makes me look like Little-Bo-Peep. I imagine that my two cousins, my aunt, and my mother's best friend will look even more ridiculous than I do.

I head back down the wooden stairs,now in my ugly dress, and almost trip on the last step. Out kitchen has been turned into a bridal studio. There are mirrors and dresses and accsiories and foot torture devices all around the floor. Forget about breakfeast, I guess.

Now I have to help my mother with her wedding dress. Addy and Amanda are already in the kitchen, doing her hair. Aunt Azure is getting the dress out. The dress is a puffy mess. Everyone is wearing the same ugly purple mess of lace, so I feel a little bit less stupid.

"Hey Andy, care to help me out over here?" Aunt Azure complains. I guess she got tied up in the train, because it's twisted around her ankles.

"Coming!" I say as I run over to her. I untangle her from the train, and set the dress straight.

"Thank you dearie. Can you grab me something to eat? I'm starved." She says. I nod, and try to make my way over to the pantry. After almost ruining my mothers famous six inch heels, and crashing three mirrors, I make it to the pantry. I grab a granola bar, and I throw it at my aunt. She fumbles it,and it lands in my mother's hair. Addy grabs it, and eats it.

"Hey, can I have on too?" Amanda asks me from the other side of the kitchen. I grab another one, and I throw it. She passes it to Aunt Azure, and I grab one for her and one for me.

"Here you go Amanda." I say as I throw it agian.

"Thanks!"She shouts as she continues with my mother's hair. Once the finally deside that it's good enough, they stop. My aunt slips the dress on over her head and we stop what we're doing for a minute. My mother looks like a bit of an over-done princess. But I tell her that she looks great anyways as we hop into the limo, which has been parked outside for thiry minutes. My mother is going to be late to her wedding. So is everyone else though.

But I guess that's all normal in the insane thing I call my life.
