Love

Cursed

Soren was alone most of the time from that point. He knew he had to stay for the week. He really just wanted to go home. He missed everyone.

Once he saw someone look in through his small window, it was creepy. He didn't feel right after that. He stayed up that night because he felt eyes on him.

When he told his nurse she said that it was probably his imagination. He saw what he saw though, it had to be real to some extent right?

It was his final day and he could get up and walk around the building. When he stepped out he saw them again. He wanted to run, do anything else but be there. He was frozen stiff, they ended up leaving anyway.

He was called to go back to his room and to try and pack some of his stuff.

—

When he was ready he was pushed into a room with his gifts. He saw his Dad again, with everyone else. They were holding a small sign that read 'Welcome back Soren'.

'So cheesy' he thought, but what can you do? He ran up and hugged his Dad tightly. Everyone welcomed him back.

"Ready to go home son?"

"Yeah! I missed you guys a lot"

"Heh, we missed you too. Now come, we got a bus to catch"

"Ok"

Soren held onto his fathers hand, and walked out. Soren felt alright for a bit, but then he felt eyes on him again.

—

They arrived home, Jackson and Charlotte were there waiting for them. They celebrated having a Soren back home safe and sound. They were asking where he'd gone too. Sorens Dad explains how he was marked by magic, and that because of that he got panicked a bit and had Soren stay somewhere to find out what it is.

Soren nods, he barely understands how his dad explained it but it makes sense to his older siblings. Soren holds his paw out and electrical zaps come out. Huh, he noticed that it just feels like flexing a body party he never knew existed.

His siblings watch in awe, they never really got to witness magic up close. His brother Kaleb reaches out and touches his paw. Nothing happens.

"Woah, it feels like somethings giving me energy"

"Really?"

"Yeah, try it out Jackson"

Jackson reaches his paw out and touches Soren with it.

"Jeez it really does feel that way"

Soren smiles, he liked this feeling. He's helping his family out. He's getting tired though, so his power slowed down to a stop.

"Hey, why'd it stop?" Asked Daniel.

"Got tired" Soren responds.

"You get tired from this?"

"Yeah"

"Ok, make sure not to over use it then"

"Ok Daniel"

Daniel nods, and walks off to his room. Everyone else went to the living room to watch a movie, it was... Kalebs turn right? He picked the action movies more, and Soren went to sit at the side of their couch. Sometimes these movies were good if you bought them at a pricey place, but they could barely afford to get those kinds of movies. Soren felt bad for whoever paid for his stay at the hospital.

In the middle of the movie Soren fell asleep, he was then moved to his room by his Dad. Tonight he dreamed about his family, they didn't have a care in the world. He wanted to stay there, but he knew once morning came he would have to leave. Enjoy it while it lasts, a voice whispered behind him.
