Twisted Dawn - 5. Who Am I

I sensed that we were being monitored as we walked down the street deciding the best course of action toward Martin. I knew the mind that was sensing us but I could not readily identify it. As we turned onto the street where my house was, I got a plea for help that emanated from within my house. Altering our course slightly, we turned and descended on the house. Getting closer to the house I noticed that it didn’t even remotely resemble a house anymore.

The front of the house looked as if a bomb went off directly at the front door. There were no more windows left anywhere and I could sense that there were only 2 coherent minds inside the entire house, and one of them I could not enter. After staring for a couple of minutes I focused on the front of the house, and used my powers in an attempt to rip the front off the house. As my power sought to extend my will, I just barely had enough time to focus as I caught the house that I had just sent hurtling towards a young couple who decided to stop and stare at the chaos.

I stared in horror as Mathias and Ashley took control of the house and slowly returned it to its original position. As I stood and watched the terrified couple slowly back away and ran down the street, I began to wonder what else I could do and how powerful I really was. As I turned to ask Mathias my questions, I felt a strong pull on my mind and when I finally focused again I was inside of my house and once again looking at someone’s hand extended towards my face. Leaning sideways a little to see past the hand, I said don’t move or else, right, and I saw my father flinch before focusing back on his hand.

As I forced his hand back down to his side, he looked into my eyes and asked who I was and what I wanted. I gave a thoughtful look, and responded if he couldn’t tell, why should I, and he got even madder. Giggling like a school girl I was completely unprepared when he blasted me in the face with a bolt he manifested using his powers. Extremely pissed that he actually managed to hit me at all, I lifted my hand and raised everything including the house into the air. As his face changed to one of fear and amazement, I started to laugh again and lost control of the house, sending it flying into the night.

I didn’t know where we landed, but on first glance you could instantly tell it wasn’t home. It didn’t even smell like home. I looked around the room and saw Mathias and Ashley standing there giving me a look that said what the hell did you do, and my father looking very closely between me and Ashley. As I turned to open the door, I heard a voice behind me say Alex. I stopped walking, and slowly turned around to face the person I thought I would never see again.

As I turned around I saw Ashley’s eyes flare with anger and Mathias take a small step back. I walked forward and asked how did they get there and what exactly happened earlier. I continued walking forward and began to lift my hand, when I was told not to or I would probably kill everyone in the room. Thinking that this was very good advice, I walked forward and pulled Erin into a hug. As I released her, I asked her what had happened since we had died, and she said once we died the chaos began.
