With bright black hair and small almond eyes. A timid girl raised her hand for her to be the next to fight me.
Everyone, including me, surprised, looked at her; she didn't seem like someone who would willingly go to fight and even more so when I had already won three consecutive fights (if we count the one with the previous leader).
What was that she had that made this little girl so sure about her?
That thought scared the hell out of me...
With his perpetual arrogant smile "General Niels" proceeded as usual:
-STATE YOUR NA...-but then she was abruptly interrupted by the little girl.
-ALISA MONROE, 10 YEARS OLD, HOME SCHOOLED, ONTARIO CANADA, 4 YEARS AGO I LEARNED MY HOME PLANET'S NAME WAS DEADEL, MY POWER IS THE DEADLY ROSE, MY INNER ELEMENT IS NEEDLE THAT SHOWS ME WHERE EXACTLY IS MY OPONENT AND WHERE DO I NEED TO AIM, THE MAIN REASON WHY I'M HERE IS BECAUSE MY PARENTS DIDN'T WANT A FREAK.
These lasts words broke my heart, I guess everyone who was there, in one moment of their life's had felt the exact same way she did, me included; but what really made me shiver, was the fact that she had brutally interrupted the "General" and without zero regrets in her actions, her words showed a maturity no one her age could show, as if had already lived a full life, she didn't even demonstrate a bit of doubt, her eyes seemed almost shallow and dead...
The little girl entered the force field and, once again, it closed, and a new battle was to begin.
But what was the name of her power? In those moments I couldn't remember and what was it about?
But I soon was to know...
Not a single second had passed when I felt a little sting on my arm, then my arm turned black and numb, I couldn't feel it no more.
Then another and another, they all came rushing from different directions without letting me make a move or think something to stop it, then, my whole body was immobilized.
She came towards me and said:
-I dont wanna do this...
It was strange, cause I realized that her words didn't come from her mouth but her thoughts. Then she proceeded saying:
-I hope you forgive me for doing this...
Then, the next thing I saw were the vines coming out from her body, following me and rushing to catch me, I dodge, I distract, finally seing my only way out is using my Wanter, I disposed of them all leaving her without any weapons to choose from.
Now I was the one trying to to talk to her, but I felt a sudden interference within my mind. Then everything started to shake, then the whole building, I could see how everyone outside was trying to hold onto something to not fall, as a destructive earthquake invaded the room, soon I found out I was the one doing all of that, but as if I couldn't control my powers, I was being controlled by something else... someone else... I looked at the little girl who was staining in front of me:
-Was this what she meant when she told me she didn't wanna do it?-I thought- Or...Maybe about when she hoped I could forgive her...
These two possibilities came through my mind, but it was hopeless as I was rising again and both my hands move by themselves, and made everyone clear I was the one responsible for the destruction that's was happening, I could only feel their gazes burning me, as if they were wishing me the worst bunt at the same time imploring me to stop the maddening destruction; but that was it: I couldn't. Something else was controlling me...
Then, my left hand pointed towards the girl, now her vines were directed to her, they stung her non stop; now it was, not the collapsing building, nor the sound of broken windows that invaded us all, were her screams, the only thing we could focus on, and I was the one causing it.
Then the sound of her bones crushing as the vines squished her with the utmost strength:
Sanguinary, that's how can I best describe the moment: the place we both were while inside the "safe space" provided by the force field was a battered mix of her blood and her destroyed body. She was dead.
Everything stopped, the quake and the falling roof pieces. As it had stopped, also myself stopped, for everyone it was clear it was my doing.
After a few seconds of uncertainty, everyone outside started screaming except for my brother, Nicolas and Celina, they just stood there watching with me with sad faces; but somehow I know they knew I didn't do it in purpose.
The force field then opened and a whole squad of armed men entered, with their special suits and covered faces as if they were confronting the enemy, they left a few moments to let the rests of the girl's body be taken away by two scientists who had entered the same time as them, but, unlike them, were shaking as the approached me and the body, with fear written all over their faces the picked up everything they could and went outside...
What would you do if everything you wanted for you got it in an instant?
Being normal is the only thing I wanted that I’ll never be able to get.
I’ve always known that I wasn’t normal and being like me comes with a price: Never be able to use my powers lightly. But that night, everything changed.
At first I didn’t realize that it was the beginning of a series of events I could’ve never imagined.
And it was all going to be a disaster…
My name is Nathaniel North, I’m a “Wanter” and this is my story…
