Caroline set her bike keys down on the table and flopped into her gamer's chair. Her body ached from head to toe and all because she had to keep pushing herself.
She looked at her knuckles they were red raw and her head pounded. She got up and walked across to the drinks cabinet and poured herself a large drink then she heard movement from upstairs.
She moved out the room and ran up the stairs, and stopped outside her daughter's room. She knocked the door and walked in to see Angie sitting on her bed staring out the window at the sea beyond.
She sat beside her on the bed and put her arm round her and Angie let herself be drawn into her embrace.
A few days ago she had buried her best friend at school. Janice had been bullied and not just the usual type of adolescence bullying either. She had been hounded on Facebook, twitter and every other social networking site.
Angie had tried to stop it but without using her powers she could be only human. The last straw had come when they had tried to bash her head against the wall and hospitalise her. Angie had not said a word about it but Caz had gone looking for the girl's responsible, especially after a post on face book had come up saying how glad they were that the little slag was dead.
They had not been so cocky when they came face to face with a stern faced Albian after the funeral. In fact they had cried for their mummies and wet themselves. But Angie had not been at school. She had just sat in her room and stared at the ocean.
"You want some company?" She asked. Angie shook her head and smiled quickly. Caz kissed her forehead and got up "I'll be downstairs if you need me baby"
Angie waited until her mother had left the room and getting up she walked to the window and clenched her fists "I want to kill them all" She seethed to no one but the air "They deserve every ounce of pain they put Janice through"
"Perhaps I can help with that"
Angie span round to see a woman, well it looked like a woman standing in her room wearing what looked like a hat from the Alice in wonderland movie she had been to see. The 16 year old was too shocked to even ask who it was.
"My sweet you do not need to suffer your anger alone I can make their lives as pitiful as you want"
"I want to but I can't" Angie bowed her head
"All you have to do is let me do it sweet"
Angie stared at her companion.
