The Beast inside

Chapter 1

So you're probably wondering what my life was like before I became what I am now. Well I actually had a pretty normal life.Well apart from the fact that we all had magic powers but that's a secret that no one knew apart from us. I had a mother, a father and 6 younger sisters named Crystal, Moon, Violet, Raven, Angie and Tiara.  We were all a happy family. We secretly used our magic to help people. Like I remember I clicked my fingers to make a homeless person have a better life with a stable job and a nice house a couple of weeks later. I obviously couldn't make that happen straight away seeing as that may have caused some suspension from the public even if they didn't know about my family's powers. My 6 younger sisters also helped a lot of people. We even healed wounded animals that we found abandoned in the woods. Those were the only times we actually made it clear that we were using magic seeing as there was no one watching us. But we did also help people without using magic, like doing charity work, seeing as it did have an effect on us as well. What affect? Well if we used to much magic we could very likely go into a coma. A very long one. We couldn't die seeing as we're partially immorta but we could still get badly injured so we kept our magic use to a limit. And our parents told us that we should get used to not always using magic because we may get arrogant and think that we're better than other people. Also, not everything could be done by magic.

So what went wrong I hear you ask. Well one day we were ambushed. We were going back to our house after our daily walk through the woods when some people suddenly appeared and started attacking us. We all fought back with our fists. We didn't use any magic seeing as we didn't know that those people already knew our little secret. I was 8 at the time and my powers were still pretty weak but my sisters' powers were even weaker compared to mine so even if we used our powers we probably would have lost the fight anyway. My parents tried to protect us and distract the attackers whiles we run away but it didn't work. There were even more people hiding behind trees. It was as if they knew that we would try tu run away. We all continued to fight until I heard a gunshot. As I turned around I saw my parents on the floor holding onto their stomachs where they were shot. Their wounds were slowly healing which gave me hope that we could get away from those people. But that hope soon vanished the moment I saw that one of them was holding a sword. I screamed out as I watched my parents get beheaded in front of me. Their lifeless bodied collapsed onto the snow. I did mention before that we're partially immortal right? The reason why I used partially is because we can still die but there are only a small number of things that can kill us. Beheading is one of them. We can regrow certain limbs and heal wounds but we can't regrow a whole head with a skull and brain. Me and my sisters stopped fighting as we all screamed and cried hoping that this was only a dream. A nightmare that we would wake up from. But we all knew that, that wasn't true. Our parents were dead and we were probably next. I could feel my powers begging me to come out and protect my sisters. And I didn't hesitate to let it out. For the first time in my life I have used my magic for violence but I couldn't care less. I needed to avenge my parents and I needed to do it now. I was so lost in my anger and grief that I didn't realize that my sisters didn't even know how to use their magic to fight. They weren't taught self-protecting yet. I heard Angie scream and I let my guard down to turn around to see if she's okay. The moment I did that I felt someone grab me and put gloves on my hands. I have no idea what they were made of but they burned so much I couldn't use my magic. Th person had such a tight grip on me that I couldn't move either. But that wasn't what made me scream more. It was the fact that I had to watch my siblings get decapitated in front of me. Tears were streaming down my face as I screamed, cried and begged for them to stop. But they didn't listen. My whole entire family was murdered in front of me and I couldn't do anything to stop it. I than felt a needle injecting something into my neck and my vision got blurry. The last thing I saw before passing out was my whole family dead and their blood everywhere.
