Astrid Burnz

Chapter 10

Everyone says I have gone crazy. They heard the bang in Gym and walked into the corridor. I walked put and they stared at me.
"Astrid..."
I pushed them all down, locking their throats. Flex. I killed each teacher. It had begun to get easy.
I levitated over to my home and exhaled. Then I walked in.
My farther was sat in the sofa, his back to me. I walked over to him and looked into his eyes.
"Father..Farther?"
He gulped. "You killed your Mam...He swallowed hard. "You almost killed me..."
"Father, I'm so sorry. I've been a bad kid. I'm stupid and I'm selfish...You were right all along. I'm sorry Farther..."
I bent my head and sighed. "I love you Papa."
I felt a sudden jerk in my back. Pain.
I looked up and my farther held a blade above my head. It had blood covered on it.
I screamed as he plunged it down again but I threw my powers back. Flames bolted at his chest as he cowered away, reeling his shock. I pushed again, and again.
"I thought you cared Farther..." I pushed all of the sharp objects in the house towards him: scissors, knives, blades...I breathed in. "Astrid Burnz...I am.." I shoved them at him, watching each one stick into his body. Blood poured out, leaving me to stare at him harder. He gulped, blood dripping from his bleeding neck.
"A..Astrid!" he choked. I released the power and tumbled over to the kitchen.
I grabbed a knife and pelted upstairs. My mother say by the window, gazing out.
"Charles, is she home..." Mothers voice trailed on. She turned and saw me.
"Father is gone. You soon shall be!" I screeched. I plunged my hand down, clutching onto the knife.
Then it happened. She pushed me back, using her own strength. She then shoved me against the wall, letting me scream in pain.
"You're not the only one Astrid," she murmured, pushing me back. "I have it too." I struggled, gasping for breath.
"Mother, please!"
I shot her my terrifying look, glaring deep at her. "Are you sure?"
She stumbled back. "What?!"
I levitated her to her feet, into the air and hung her body of the lights. "Do you really have the power? So why did you just run away..."
She breathed out. "All those years...I didn't mean to Astrid. I had no faith in myself to treat you nicely. I wanted to bully you..." She wept more. "I'm sorry Astrid."
I smiled back at her. "It's ok Mamma," I cuddled her legs and weeped beside her. "I love you."
I couldn't let her get away with one apology though. "But I have to punish you first." I blasted a ball of fire at her torso. She suddenly screamed. She was fizzing, like an electric shock. I realised Id hung her up into the lights, which we'd also on.
"Mamma?" I asked. I tearfully ran to my dying mother.
"Astrid..." her voice faded away. "Why?"
"I'm so sorry Mother..." I wept, holding her close. She died peacefully in my arms.
This was wrong. Both my parents were dead. My dear sister was dead. Nearly everyone was dead that I knew now.
"Astrid?" I heard a gentle voice say. I turned, seeing Bea wearing a broken cheerleading cap. "Are...Are you ok?"
I gulped. "You started this. Now I'll end this..."
I bought up my force, closing her throat. She choked, gasping. "Astrid!"
I pushed her back, looking back at my mother. "I've killed my parents, my friends..." I pushed her further. The walls around us began to break and crumble down.
Each window smashed and broke around me. I glared up at her, watching her before a most appeared in front of me.
Then -
"No! Astrid, please!"
I was coughing, spluttering, being pulled out of the tiny room that was now broken and crumbling away. "Please!"
I looked up at my hero. Bea was dragging me through my has that I'd bought down. She was saving me...
I smiled back at her. "There's no need," I told her. "I can handle this..."
She suddenly tripped and fell, crashing us down. A block of bricks faded our path.
"No!" Bea screamed. She pulled me up but I let go.
"Go on without me," I replied, pushing her away.
"Astrid -"
I looked up, fire lit up in my eyes. I narrowed my eyebrows.
"Go!" I flexed, levitating her upwards and through the crowd of bricks. CRASH! They broke before me, leaving me surrounded by my memories. I saw Bea before me, flying towards the road.
I shjved my hand out as a signal of stop and smiled weakly at her. She began running but I pushed the force of my roof fully into my body. I fell instantly and allowed her to watch me pull my entire house over us.
