The First Born

2). The First Born

"What do you wanna name him?"
"Let's name him Sergio."
"Aw that's a great name. Hello Sergio"

I was born on October 21, 1999 I am now 16 but you don't know much about me do you? Well let's start off from the beginning, of my powers that is.
I was 7 when I found out my mom was slowly dying, every time my dad thought about mom he would get sad. My dad decided to let my mom's family take care of her and take her back home to where she belong. My family and I where already living in a small apartment. Now this 2 room apartment felt empty, emptier then a store at midnight. Emptier then the room that once flew with enjoying presences. I would wake up every night to my dad crying about mom. He seem to cry more then I did, yet he was still a warrior.
I was 8 when my dad showed me how to use a bow. He said hunting takes patients, something I didn't have before. We went out side of the city and hunt, I killed my first deer. A few months later it was my birthday. I was always excited for my birthday, but ... now it's just another day, another year, Time, another nothing, another memory that I care less for .
But this year was different I was now 9 and my dad decided to take me somewhere. He had saved enough money to take us both to an arcade.
As the day went on my dad didn't tell me where we were going. So I asked and asked.
"Dad? Where are we going?"
"Serg I already said its a surprise so please wait"
"Fine, I'll stop asking"
As we came closer to the arcade my eyes widen. They widen like they have never widen before, excitement flew there my body like as if I had my mom next to me.
Dad took us inside and we where there for hours. As we sat and ate pizza I started asking my dad a question.
"Dad? Is mom ok?" I say with a unhappy
"No, she isn't ok" dad says as he attempts to eat his pizza.
The table fell silence after that conversation. We finished our pizza and proceeded home.
"Sergio?"
"Yes?"
"Wanna go down that alley?" He says trying to be funny.
"Sure!!" I say with enjoyment.
We walked down the alley happy smiling as we past a bar. We were half way down the alley when a guy with a knife popped up.
"GIVE ME ALL YOUR MONEY OR ELSE??" He said screaming
"What?! Why?! Hell no!!" My dad says
The mugger then decided to attack my dad. I watched as they fight, I saw blood flying from my dad's shirt. The mugger stabbed my dad in the chest, I slowly begin to cry I fell on my knees and try to help my dad. The mugger ran away in fear.
"Sergio...the bar..go inside" he says as he slowly looses his oxygen.
I ran into the bar as fast as an 9 year old could and I screamed for help. The bar tender assist me and ran outside to help my dad. He called 911 for help then the ambulance arrived.
That was the last day I ever felt joy. I stayed at the hospital with my dad hoping he would live. I saw him slowly die In front of me. A few hours later he died, I stared at his now soul less body and cried. The police came to get me but I didn't want to go.
The police help escort me to my home where I now have nothing left. The police man said, "son do you want to take anything with you?"
"Sure" I say with tears dripping down my eyes.
I enter my now empty home and look around. I enter my dad's closet and I see a box with my name on it. I open the box and I see a letter, I start reading it
Dear Sergio,
If you are reading this then I am dead. I didn't get to show you what you truly are or what you will become. You are like you mother Sergio. You have a gift only she had. It's a powerful gift. Son I'm sorry for dying on you I know it's hard but that's life, I wanted to say I love you and I hope your life gets better. Son you have powers, not any ordinary powers but lightning powers. Just like your mother. Your mother let her anger control her though so I decided to help. Son please pick what's right for you, you will see the right path once you taken it. Son I love you and have a nice life....I hope. Sergio you are going to an orphanage when you turn 15 you will be taken somewhere else I can't tell you your too young. I must go now.
Sincerely,
Your dad
I then began to cry as I see a blue light emit from my arm. It was as blue as the morning sky, it pointed to the tv. I place my hand In front of the tv, my hand then sucked the electricity from the tv. I then got scared and I finish looking in the box. I found a black hoodie and a bow with ten arrows. I decided to put on the jacket and take the bow with me.
"Umm kid are you finish!?"The officer said firmly
I stayed quite and decided that I didn't want to go. I jumped out the window and landed on the fire escape. At that very moment I decided to choose my path between good and bad. I started running away from my problems, I didn't stop running till I finished crying. I sat there sad staring at the sky and thought to myself "I will make my mom and dad proud I will live but I won't go to an orphanage I will be free like the birds and the wild animals" I then catch my breath and run up the building's fire escape and decided to sleep on the roof.
