"Spare a root? A fungus? Anything?" I ask as people walk by. They shake their head at me and frown. I know that what I do is wrong in many places, but it's basically how I get through this dump of a life. Witchcraft. I sigh and stand up, pulling my hood over my head. Heartless people rule this world. Heartless. As I walk down an alleyway I hear footsteps behind me. Probably another trash man. "Nothing to see here!" I yell, still walking. I feel a hand on my shoulder. Have they found me? I turn around and cast a disarming spell on whoever's behind me. "Whoops.." I mumble. I still can't control this power. "Hello?" A girl voice behind me says. Oh crap I hit a girl. "H-hi." I say. Damn this stupid stutter. "That was a pretty cool thing you just did there. Are you a super?" What do I say?? "Y-yeah, yeah I am." Why did I say that?!?! I mentally facepalm. "Oh," the girl says. "I am too. My name is Kendra. What's your name?" "Uh.. Gino. W-what do you want?" This girl seems trustworthy, but I've learned over the years to never trust. "Well, I have been accumulating new supers over these past few weeks to try and fight the ASA, and I wonder if you would like to join me." Fight the ASA?? This girl must be crazy. But it is a good idea... "A-are you sure you would w-want me on your t-team? I-I can't control my p-power and besides that all I can do is w-witchcraft and potions." The girl put her hand on her hip and gave me that 'are you serious?' look. "Of course we would want you. We can help you control your powers and give you condiments for your witchcraft. You could be quite useful in fighting the ASA." Well if I join I could die.. But I would die doing what I've wanted to do for a long time. "Well, s-sure I guess." I say and walk closer to her. No going back now. "Just s-show me the w-way."
