Spirit

Identity

"Luke." A voice far away called.

I didn't answer.

I couldn't answer.

I couldn't feel my body.

The voice kept calling, but I didn't understand who it was calling anymore.

Suddenly, images started to flash in my mind. Memories. That one memory in particular.

I peered from the window, not daring to raise my head more than eye-level. Mom was glaring at the man who had been following us. He had a completly black mask on his face, and so where his clothes. They were talking to each other, but I was too far to listen.
Suddenly, a 15-feet tall deer came straight out of my mom's body and lunged the other guy, who got a massive python out of his body. The two animals wrestled visciously, while my mom made some sort of plasma ball in her hand and shot it at the attacker. He made a shield out of thin air, and the energy shot shattered harmlessly off of it. He ran at an unhuman speed towards my mom, his fist at the ready, but she jumped out of the way, (also in an unhuman way) and his fist connected to the electricity pole besides him.
The pole started to fall right towards my direction, so, naturally, I ran to the other side and the cabin. The hole right side of the cabin fell down to the impact of the fall.

The sound of the cabin being destroyed was suddenly too high, and I jumped out of my matress, rubbing my ears franatically.

"Ta-da." said another unenthusiastic voice.

"Maddie!" Jack complained, irritated. "I said 'no hurting'."

"Well you're not the boss here, so..." Maddie replied. Then she looked at me and said sarcastically : "Good morning, sunshine!" And finished her bitch act by jumping from the second floor to the first, landing without a scratch.

"I have to learn that." I groaned.

"Great!" Jack grinned. "You're in a learning mood then!"

"Learning..."

"Everything. Don't you have questions?"

"Umm, yeah, but here on the mattress? Won't your boyfriend be a bit jealous?"

Jack laughed. "Oh don't worry about him. Our bond is special." He winked at me, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.

"I met you two days ago, Jack"

"My bond with Oli."

"Oh crap, sorry!"

He laughed. "Okay, let's get everybody in the T.V. room and get some explaining going!"

Everyone was staring at me once we settled ourselves on the sofas.

"Are we waiting for another extraterrestrial thing to happen?" I started the meeting.

"Ugh! Fine, I'll go!" Maddie groaned. "The only reason you're here is because you're a caster."

I stared at her in disbelief.

"Before you say any smart comment," she continued "a caster is someone who is able to-"

"Cast?" I interrupted sarcastically.

"Put your- I'm gonna- Ugh I can't do this!" She yelled.

"Fine, I'm sorry. Please continue. I beg of you."

"You're a caster, and a dick. A caster is someone who can cast their own spirit to the real living world."

I started laughing.

"Okay, that is the stupidest shit  I heard since-"

I shut my mouth after I saw a 10 foot tall hyena come out of her body.

"Yes, that's my spirit. It's here in the real world."

It growled a bit at me before entering her body again. Her eyes glowed a slight blue, just like Jack's did back at the hospital.

"Nobody knows how casters are born, or chosen. So you can't throw the blame on your parents. Are you following me so far?"

"Yes, we're supernatural humans-"

"No! We're regular humans with abilities!"

"Making us supernatural..."

"He has a point." Roy murmured.

"Shut up! Continue!"

"Do I shut up or do I continue?"

The whole crew started laughing, except my so-called teacher, who seamed pissed off.

"Okay, fine! Joke around as much as you want! I'm out!" Maddie yelled and stormed off.

"What's her problem?!" I asked because I was really getting tired of her shit.

"Maddie is a serious-serious joking-joking type of person, and she barely jokes." Roy explained.

"Hey, don't be hard on her!" Leena said, "she's been through a lot." She looked at the others meaningfully, and they took the situation more seriously. "Every caster has his own representative. A form that our spirit take to show itself."

"An animal." I deducted

"Exactly. That's where the whole 'spirit animal' thing started." Leena explained. "A caster is first determined by the gift of sight."

"The way you saw my spirit in the hospital," Jack interrupted, "I wasn't sure that you were a caster until you freaked about seeing my spirit, sorry about that, by the way, but still, I had to make sure. And it turns out there were two casters."

"Me and the one who killed Alice."

"Yes," Roy said "it would have been a scandal, her murder, but I kinda took care of it." He winked.

As usual, I felt like an idiot.

"By now, Alice's murder must be broadcasted on every channel in the country, blaming the two kids that ran away from the hospital. But there is no such thing, because I erased everything that had to do with that subject."

"Oh, the room downstairs?"

"No, no, well partially yes, but the room runs by my powers. I can control everything that has to do with electricity, I can even harness it." 

"So we have electricity powers? I asked.

"No, just me. You see, spirits bestow powers on casters. So every caster has their own powers. Like Maddie-"

"She has deafening powers?" 

"I have mind control powers." She said, returning from wherever she was. "I actually went into your stupid drugged brain to get your consciousness working."

"Just when I thought your were private."

"Oh don't worry I didn't 'peer' into any of your memories, not the important ones anyway"

"To finish our tour in crazy world" Oliver said loudly, "we do however have similar power: like that high-jump thing Maddie keeps using, the energy balls Maddie keeps using-"

"Do you wait for me to return to start goofing around again?" Maddie groaned, leaving again.

"Any other similar powers?" I finally asked, my mind getting ready to crack any moment.

"Just those two."

"Okay big guy, your training starts with me," Rob stood up from the sofa, "Gym. I'm gonna give you a couple of minutes to wrap your head around what you are. Welcome to the Caster's world."
