Destiny

Chapter 2

Alfie

I opened my crimson eyes as light flooded into the room, I blinked twice and let my eyes adjust to the newly lit room.

"Wake up, it's your first day at your new school."

I looked at my father and shot him a deathly glare, it was 2 weeks since I found out why my father had disappeared for so long when I was born.

I was a mistake, my father already had a wife yet he still got with my mother and had me.

Then he went and faked his own death and stayed away from me and my mum until my mother died. He was then tracked down and had to look after me.

Tough life.

I also knew I had a sister, I don't know what her name is or what she looks like, but I know I do. I found out when I overheard dad talking about her.

With my special power of overhearing I also found out he killed a lot of people, including the parents of a child who was 1 or 2 at the time.

He's a monster.

Dad sighed at my glare and left the room, I pulled myself out of bed and started to get dressed into my new uniform.

Why couldn't my dad have just died when he took the bullet to the head, why did that random stranger save him.

I looked at myself in the mirror attached to my wardrobe, I looked smart, I must admit, but I realise that i'm becoming a lot like my father, I already share my eye colour and hair colour with him, now i'm just becoming a smaller verson of him.

I'm developing the same pale skin, the same smile, it made me look evil. And I didn't like it. I hate my father, and i'm a living clone of him.

"ALFIE, GET DOWN HERE, IT'S TIME TO GO."

I sighed, and ran downstairs, as much as I wanted to get away from my dad, school is not my first choice escape. I grabbed my bag and avoided eye contact with my father as I exited the house.

I climbed into the car, and waited patiently as my father climbed into thedrivers seat, I was very close to being able to drive my own car, I had passed my tests, all I needed was a car.

As we drove, my father sighed and started to make a conversation with me.

"Look, Alfie, I know i've made mistakes..."

"Yeah, very big ones dad, you killed your best friend, his wife and your own wife, after cheating on her with an innocent woman known as my mother, had me then faked your own death so you wouldn't have to deal with me, yeah, pretty big mistakes dad."

I was shut up when my dad raised his arm and the familiar blue mist surrounded it, making me unable to talk.

"How do you know about all of this?"

I raised my eyebrow and he released me, letting me speak.

"Considering both you and mum had magic, you should expect me to be a little better in that department. I am just really good at overhearing, thats the only thing my magic can do at the moment, enhance my senses."

Dad smacked his hand against the wheel.

"When did your powers start to show?"

"A couple of weeks ago, you triggered them when you told me the truth about you. My emotion became so great that magic started to show itself."

Dad put his head in his hands.

"Make sure you do not use it at school, I do not want to move again."

I nodded, and sighed as we approached my new school, everybody was clumped into little groups. I prepared myself toget out of the car.

"One last thing dad?"

"Yeah."

"Do you regret leaving that poor girl homeless and familyless after you selfishly killed her parents?"

"GET OUT!"

"We are talking about this tonight father, I want no secrets kept from me, i'm almost 17, i'm old enough now, is that a deal?"

Dad nodded, and I jumped out of the car and headed towards where I thought the reception was, I looked back to see whether my dad was gone and-

*Smack*

I stumbled a bit,and realised I had bumped into someone, I turned around and faced the person and my jaw dropped.

The person standing in front of me was absolutely beautiful, she had long brown hair that looked as soft as kitten's fur, and eyes that I could lose myself in.

I only got a second to stare at her different coloured eyes before she looked at the ground, blood rushing to her already blushing cheeks.

After staring at her for what seemed a creepy amount of time, I finally regained my composure and stuttered.

"Sorry."

She smiled and I couldn't help but smile myself, she was gorgeous, I would have to meet with this girl again.

I turned around and headed towards the reception, saying my name and explaining that I was new here, as the receptionist sorted out my files, I looked back at the mysterious girl who was walking away from me, her hair blowing in the wind as she stepped outside.

I smiled to myself, and let out the air I was unknowingly holding in.

I want to get to know her.
