I wake up in my bed, knowing that today would be good or bad. Today, my fate is chosen. “Oh my gosh Ash you're overreacting dude, remember, I can read minds so your thoughts aren't safe .’’ My sister says walking into the living room.

“Ahh I can't believe you heard that! You need to ask to read other taboos minds!’’ I say a little irritated.

“Haha well it’s a free country loser.” My sister says sticking her tongue out.

“Well, not for us Sam! Don't you know what people do to us, I saw my OWN friend get killed and dad, yet you still think it’s a free country, I… we could die, or we can be used as test subjects, I don't want that happening. I say standing up looking at Sam that has a guilty expression on her face, Sam is 2 years younger than I am,so she doesn't really know a lot about being a taboo still, I'm 15 right now and I finally got to go to a public school again I don't like fighting that much but if you mess with someone I care for I will risk my life for them, I will fight for them,I will die for them.

“Well anyways I need to go to school even if it will kill me, bye sis.” I say walking out of the house. As I walk out my house I see kids across the street beating someone up, my guess was that the kid got caught being a taboo and the kids wanted some fun so they are beating them up for an excuse to hurt or kill someone. I see this a lot, it's really common so I should be used to it by now, but it still makes my stomach turn. There is this one rule and it's that humans are allowed to kill taboos without going to jail, but if a taboo kills a human, I doubt that they will get out alive.

My dad did it, he tried to protect me and my family, my dad isn't with us anymore, when I was 10 I was using my powers because I was mad and I couldn't help but destroy things after all they deserved it, but I didn't realize that there were taboo hunters around and I got caught my dad protected me, but for that cost he died my mom managed to get me away from them, for a long time I would blame myself for my dad's death I even tried to kill myself a few times but it didn't work, we can’t die that easily the only way we can die is by using the stuff the taboo hunters use I gave up and by the age of 13 I knew that this was my life and that this life sucks it's the honest truth but it's the people I care about in this world that is keeping me alive.
