The redemption arc

•my introduction/ the start•

     Hi, I'm the protagonist of the story. I'll be telling it myself. So, I'm Anya dean. I used to be known as the biggest bully in our small little village. I always had powers but I never realized until I was 16, the age this story starts. Im known by my hero name, redemption since I'm trying to redeem myself. I don't know why. I had one girl in particular that I'd pick on daily, her name was lily smart. She had long dark hair and the most beautiful big blue eyes covered by white circular glasses.. and the perfect dark dusky skin- wait no, the point is... she was the sweetest kid in the village, often seen in charity's and seen helping out homeless people and animals. She was a huge loner. But that was good about her- Let's just start before I start fan girling..

The very start

     It was a rainy day while I was searching for a victim to bully. I saw lily laying on the floor, but as I approached so did ambulances and I stopped mid tracks. "What was happening?.." I thought to myself in confusion, it wasn't like lily to ask for help.. more so, call the ambulances.. when I approached.. she.. she was already pronounced dead on the scene. She didn't have a funeral since it was pointless, she was a loner with no family except her abusive mother who was always drunk from her divorce. I started to stare in confusion.. she didn't look harmed. "What happened?!" I asked the person in charge of the situation hurriedly. "ma'am, calm down. She had a drug overdose.. by the looks of it, it was on purpose. Probably a case of sui-" the person tried to continue "NO! NO! NO! SHE CANT BE GONE!" I couldn't believe I acted like I cared.. after all, she was a stupid extra in my story.. but she felt more than that. As I broke down. An early discharge in our school was recommended.

At my house

I'm my house I was isolated in my room feeling terrible "lily is a girl who is determined.. she can't be dead! She can't!" I mumbled when suddenly my mom went in. "Anya?.. are you okay?.." she asked sweetly, it disgusted me. I didn't deserve kindness. I basically k/ lled that innocent girl before we could graduate. A kid at 16 years old shouldn't feel this. Overwhelmed by rage, I summoned lighting in my hands "oh.. it came in.." my mom mumbled and my heart shattered since I never saw it. "LILY IS GONE MOM! SHES GODDAMN ——ING GONE! AND ITS ALL MY FAULT!"I screamed at her whilst breaking down in tears. "Dear.. it's nobody's fault she was raised in a broken life, she was mainly picked on for stupid reasons like that.. she was innocent, you bullied her, yes.. but you don't deserve fault." She said sweetly as I cried she grabbed me into a tight hug. "I can't imagine how much it hurts for a girl your age to see someone you bullied die. It just, hurts. I can't explain it.. but.. I gave you my powers when I was younger, you probably got both mind control, AND lightning.. so you accidentally used mind control on her and told her what you usually said.. I'm sorry.." she said before turn away "it's my fault lily is dead." She selflessly took blame, when I was the one who told lily to die. She walked out of the door as I swore I could see dad crying and standing in front of her and muttered the words "is she okay?.." I could swore my dad asked that.
