When I left I ran into the swamp and found a shack that had been abandoned for what looked like quite some time. It had a bar and kitchen, a fridge, running water, I couldn't believe it was abandoned. I went to the back where I found a bedroom with a king size bed "This is strange..." I thought to myself. I threw back the covers and got in and slept until morning.
When I awoke I went outside to check out the area. This is where I would train after all. I tried to focus my power to my hand, to shoot a bolt out into the swamp. I could feel my powers, faintly, but I felt them. I focused harder, still couldn't do it. I started to get mad over my continuing failures... I got so frustrated I had to hit something. I ran over to a tree and punched it as hard as I could...it exploded! "How the hell did I do that?" I punched a few more and the same result. I set up targets and started to try to shoot bolts like I did with the monsters. I made about five and set them all around my house and the swamp. I started to look deep into my feelings, because I thought maybe they were the key. I tired to remember the anger and fear I felt with the monsters at my former home... I had visions of the creatures, heard the noises they made, felt the pain they caused me, and with a yell, I shot a lightning bolt at a target, destroying it. "Dammit! It took me forever to make those! But I can control some of my power now so I guess that's a plus."
I went inside and tired to rest... *grrrrr* "NOPE! No rest! I need some food!"
I went to the fridge, opened the door, and...
"Nope! Not happening! No way!"
Everything was old and moldy.
"Dammit! The one place I didn't look!"
I took the fridge out as fast as possible and I dumped everything in the river nearby. I went back to the house with the fridge, and plugged it back in. I knew I couldn't just materialize food from nothing, so I went to the store in town. I had about $200 from my birthday money which I took to the store. There I bought bacon, eggs, steak, cheese, milk, bread, mayonnaise, lettuce, onions, a case of water, and some taco shells with mixes for tacos. I went home and made a bacon sandwich. I thought I would have a hard time making food but I did ok for myself. I started to hear noises outside and around the house.
"Company!"
I ran outside, and there stood before me was one of the monsters I managed to kill before I ran away and came here.
"This is it, my first test opportunity."
"HAAAAAAA!"
I punched it. It's arm came off almost, and it dropped dead...
