Chapter 1 - 3: Weirdo
I was ready to face my death. I closed my eyes.
Suddenly, a golden light penetrated my eyes. I was surrounded by streams of golden light emanating from the sky. The light was so intense that I cannot open my eyes fully. Those streams of light penetrated every single shark until they all submerged.
I was sitting on the floor, sweating profusely. I was back in the classroom again. This time the weirdo had stood up, but she was not looking at me. I tried to recall what had happened before, but the intense pain in my head made it impossible. Marcus gripped my hand and helped me to stand up.
I could see two strangers standing besides me. ‘Who are you?’ I asked them. Marcus whispered besides me, saying that these strangers suddenly appeared and did something weird so that I waked up. Why are there so many weirdos?
The two strangers didn’t seem to care much about me. What they did was just staring at the weirdo. The weirdo was murmuring something again. I could see one of the strangers closed his eyes. ‘I’ll cast the defense while you take her down!’ he said to another stranger.
The stranger with both eyes closed stretched his arms. He was murmuring something that I couldn’t hear. Another stranger was doing something different. He kept staring at the weirdo.
All of a sudden Marcus and I were floating on a pool. Streams of blue and green light are shining out from the water. Reflection and refraction made the whole area around the pool totally lightened. Those fine beams of light formed a safety net around the pool. The beams of light became more and more intense, and we could hardly open our eyes
When we were surprised by the light surrounding us, suddenly the light weakened. Darkness covered the area around the pool. However, the light became strong again and both of us felt relief, even though we didn’t really know what was happening.
This didn’t last long; the darkness covered the pool on which we were floating again. This time the streams of light faded. When I opened my eyes, me and Marcus were back in the classroom again.
The stranger that closed his eyes before had fainted on the floor. Another stranger and the weirdo were still glaring to each other. When another stranger saw her friend fainted, she yelled at me, ‘What are you doing there, heal him immediately!’
‘Heal him?’ I asked her. How should I heal him? Using a first aid kit or calling an ambulance. Marcus and I were confused. ‘Hey! Are you deaf? Heal him now or we are going to die!’ She yelled at me again.
I could see her sweating profusely. The weirdo was still murmuring, but it was a bit louder now. Marcus was trying to wake the guy up, but he failed. I didn’t understand what she meant, but I could feel the situation was tense.
What should I do??

Chapter 1 - 2: Weirdo
‘Wait, I will try to wake her up and ask.’ I said to Marcus while shaking the girls shoulder. She didn’t move. I try to shake again violently, and she murmured, ‘Don’t disturb my sleep, or else you will know the consequence!’
‘Do you come to school to study or sleep?’ I shouted at her.
‘You!’ She woke up and looked at me. Her face sent shivers down my spine. Marcus gripped my hand and whispered to me, asking me to leave. But I refused. Marcus was scared, I knew.
‘Hey, you should thank me for waking you up so that you can follow the tutorial after this!’ I spoke to her firmly, though I am feeling scared as well.
‘Don’t bother.’ She stared at me again. This time she was murmuring something I couldn’t understand at all. ‘Hey, I wonder how a student like you can enter this university. Terrible!’ I started to feel angry.
Suddenly my mind became blank. I was sitting on a very small isolated island. All I can see is just sea water. ‘Where am I now? Why am I suddenly sitting in the middle of an ocean?’ I was thinking. All of a sudden many sharks rose above the sea water level, and moved towards the island where I was sitting!
‘Sharks!’ I yelled it out loudly. But no one was coming for help. I tried to find something on the beach that I could use to defend myself, but the island only had sand. ‘Please, someone please help me!’ I shouted as loud as I can. But all I could see was sea water, no one would come. I tried to find somewhere to hide, but failed.
The sharks came nearer and nearer. I was scared and screamed for help again and again, but no one came. To my horror, the island started to submerge, and the sharks had come nearer, opening their mouths, drooling. The island was fully submerged in the sea, and I was screaming for help, but again, no use.
Countless sharks had arrived, surrounding my body with their open mouths. I tried hard to find a route to escape by diving into the water, but the sharks were blocking my way. I could feel the intense pain of them biting my body and savoring my flesh. ‘Argggh……!’ I was screaming in agony. I still tried to release myself from the sharks, but the their number was countless and it was impossible to run away.
Much blood was flowing out from my body. This attracted more sharks to come to join the meal. With their sharp teeth, they tore away both my legs and hands. and next, my head…
‘Do you come to school to study or sleep?’ I shouted at her.
‘You!’ She woke up and looked at me. Her face sent shivers down my spine. Marcus gripped my hand and whispered to me, asking me to leave. But I refused. Marcus was scared, I knew.

Chapter 1 - 1: Weirdo
When I talk to my friends, they always laugh. I wonder why. When I approach my sad friends, their mood will certainly be lightened. I have used to this. It is normal for me. Perhaps I am born to be a comedian, who knows?
I have just finished my first Chemistry lecture, and enjoy having my lunch in the cafeteria. ‘G’day, Wyatt!’ , shouted Marcus to me. Marcus is my best friend. We are studying the same course in this university.
He sits besides me. ‘Hey, how was your first lecture?’, he asked curiously. ‘Well, I just don’t understand what the lecturer said’, I answered him while still eating my pasta. ‘Hey, you were the best student in our high school, yet you don’t understand?’
‘Best students still have things that they don’t understand, I m not a genius’. I stared at him. ‘Ok, I get what you mean, sorry,’ he said unwillingly. He stood up and walk to the counter to buy food. He knew me very well, how unhappy will I be when someone claims that I am a genius. In fact, I am a genius in cheering people up, I guess.
Marcus has finished buying his lunch. With his lunchbox still in hand he sat besides me and whispered to me. ‘You know what, Wyatt, there is a weirdo in my tutorial class!’ ‘Weirdo?’, I asked him, raising my eyebrows. ‘Yes, she always sleeps in class. No one can wake her up’, he said, ‘Well, after the class ended, she will wake up and ask me what the tutor has taught in the class. Isn’t she weird?’ he explained to me when opening his lunch box. ‘Doesn’t she realize that she has fallen asleep during the class?’ I ask, even I have already had the answer in mind.
‘No, she didn’t know it at all!’ yelled Marcus. I m surprised. Someone who doesn’t know that she has actually fallen asleep? Suddenly a creepy feeling comes to my mind. Would there be something abnormal with this person? Is she under a curse by a wicked witch, as in some children storybooks?
‘Hey Wyatt what are you thinking?’ Marcus shook my arm. ‘Could you please bring me to see this person?’ I asked. ‘Sure, I will have a tutorial later, maybe she is already in class’, said Marcus while still chewing his sausage roll, ‘Oops, it is about time now!’
We quickly finished our lunch, and hurried to Room 209. I wonder why, but a weird feeling kept lingering in my mind. We increased our speed, and finally come to the door of Room 209.
Marcus pushed the door open. The room is dimly lit but I can clearly see a shadowy figure sitting on a chair. Marcus pointed his finger to the person and whispered, ‘This is the weirdo!’
I walked near to the girl. It was very creepy to see that a person sleeping while sitting. Her eyes are closed tightly, and she keeps on murmuring. I try to wake her up by calling her, but I failed. I called her several times, but she was still sleeping. ‘Forget it, Wyatt. She won’t wake up!’, said Marcus, ‘You better go for you next lecture, or else you will be totally late.’
‘Wait, I will try to wake her up and ask.’ I said to Marcus while shaking the girls shoulder. She didn’t move. I try to shake again violently, and suddenly…!

'PSYCHIC' Chapter one Next Week!!
Good news for you guys! Chapter 1 of myNovel entitled 'PSYCHIC' will be posted next week. I will post a notification here before every chapter is posted. Later.

Psychic Power Background 1
I am very sure that you will not believe the existence of psychic power in human beings. If you do think so, you are totally wrong!! Let me give a few examples of psychic powers that I ll include in my novel:
1. PSYCHIC ATTACK: This is probably the most offensive type of psychic power. The user can use their mind power to launch attack to another person's mind. The victim may not even realize that he or she is under attack. The ultimate effect is, mental breakdown leading to Death.
2. PSYCHIC DEFENSE: This is just the opposite to psychic attack. The user manipulate their mind power to try blocking any psychic attack. More often it involves method to purify the mind. It will be more effective if the user casts the defense before the attack.
3. CHANNELING: Well, I think most of you have heard of this before. The channeller possesses the abililty to communicate with the dead person, as well as summoning them.
4. PSYCHIC HEALING: This is contrary to normal healing. The healer can utilize his or her own aura to help curing the wounded person. Psychic healing is able to heal only 'mental wound'. Also able to help reducing pain but not curing injuries.
5. FORETELLING: This is just like predicting (or seeing) the future. The foreteller needs concentration and some related objects to predict the past and the near future.
6. ASTRAL PROJECTION: This is what you describe as 'out of the body experience'. The user is able to project their soul from their physical body, an ability best used to get into a place without any sign.
7. CHAKRA: Chakra is long discovered in India. A chakra user can control his or her chakra to restore the power of allies. Various chakra attacks and defense can be used as well.
8. TELEPATHY: Well, I think most of you will understand what does it means. Transfering information without use of speech.
9. TELEPORT: Different to astral projection, a teleporter can actually teleport a small number of people to basically everywhere, using his or her mind power.
1. PSYCHIC ATTACK: This is probably the most offensive type of psychic power. The user can use their mind power to launch attack to another person's mind. The victim may not even realize that he or she is under attack. The ultimate effect is, mental breakdown leading to Death.

About the Novel
Well, the novel that I am going to post soon will be a story about youngsters having different types of psychic powers. How are they going to lead a normal life, having to juggle between their studies and fighting demons? But before I start posting the novel, I will first provide background information about psychic powers. Later.
First time blogger!!
Welcome! This is the first time i start blogging. There should be two main sections in my blog, which are myLife in Australia and myNovel. Soon.
