Body, Mind, and Soul

"Kayla! No!" I found myself screaming once again. "Kayla!" I tried again as I watched her summon her power.
She lifted from the ground, arms at her sides. Her power lifting her by her shoulders, letting her fly through the air. Tree branches moved out of her way as she pushed them away with her mind.
"Goodbye Derek," The words trickled across my mind. "I love you."
"No, Kayla! Don't leave!" I cried out. My molecules spun, so I let go. Just a cold, misty cloud now, I floated up and drifted after Kayla.
"No Derek. It's too dangerous. Stay where you are!" Kayla said.
I became whole again, wondering what to do.

I awoke with a start. Screaming at the top of my lungs. Soaked in sweat I looked at my clock. Three fifty-two. There was no way I was going back to sleep. I threw back my sheets and climbed out of bed. Avoiding the step that creaks I made my way downstairs to the kitchen. Opening the refrigerator, my mind wandered back to the dream. I didn't know what it meant, or even who Kayla was.
I glanced down at the calender and groaned. Tomorrow was my sixteenth birthday.

I liked this I just wish it was longer, but there are a few things.
1.

I didn't know what it meant, or even who Kayla was.

This sentence was kind of confusing, try changing the arrangement around to
I didn't know what it meant, or who Kayla was.

It's just a suggestion. Well, that's all, bye-bye now!

Hi Lukan I'm peanut. So here goes:
I'm going to assume this is a prologue, but if it wasn't it's a little short. This might have just been a typo because when was reviewing it the beginning was italicized but on the post the dream wasn't. So you might want to fix that, it will make it easier to understand.

"Goodbye Derek," The words trickled across my mind. "I love you."

The shouldn't be capitalized.
PM me if you post more.

Hiya!

Good start here, but it could be a little longer but I won't bug you about that.

There wasn't anything that stood out to my specifically accept for the last paragraph, it moves a little fast and the last sentenace, that does cause one to think how it will matter later, seems rather random. But its just a thought

So, again good start! Hope to see more

Keep up the good work

Hi LukanRinta!

First off, a quick question.

My molecules spun

Her molecules spun? Can you explain what you meant by this?

I also assumed this was a prologue. However, if it isn't then this is a really short story with little information. In the first paragraph you introduce the character Kayla, but when I finished the story and looked back to the Kayla incident I wondered what an earth she had to do with anything since your main character didn't know who she was. Can you give us a little more information on who this Kayla may be?

In her dream you talk about the summoning of power. I think you can give a little more explanation and description of this, as I had a hard time imaging the scene. I didn't fully understand what was going on? Is the magic? Supernatural? Or is it more symbolic than anything?

The first paragraph is action packed but then it all fizzles out as your character realises it was just a dream.

Opening the refrigerator, my mind wandered back to the dream.

I didn't know what it meant, or even who Kayla was.

Screaming at the top of my lungs

This dream obviously stood out to your character a lot more than any others had as she is looking for a deeper meaning within it, but why? Can you give us a little more information on why she was really freaked out by the dream? You could include character emotions here.

I hope to read more as this was very short and I didn't get much out of it. The fist paragraph sounds exciting so I think it would good if you expanded it a little.

Keep writing and PM me if you post anything up!

I'm sorry for this not being so clear, but yes, it is a prologue. When I wrote it, I kinda scribbled it out, wondering if I should or shouldn't have one. The story will begin to click together more once I start adding the chapters. Sorry for the shortness of it. I'll add more soon.

i like it by itself. the reader can add significance to the preceding instances on their own. it gives the story a lot of meaning and a certain intelligence. saying it is a prologue changes everything though. the writing itself wasn't particularly good and only the strangeness and obscurity of the plot saves it from being completely boring, overdone, cliched, all that. knowing it's a prologue i can imagine what type of story would come from this set up and it's not something i think could be very good. i'm sorry. the only thing that attracted me to this was the ingenuity in how you presented the story-- no explanation, just facts. man if you clean this up and make the writing a little better, this could be a good piece on its own. i can already feel something sinister happening on your 16th bday! i don't need more story.
