The Joy Of Remembrance

The stable

I look up through the glass window in front of me. I look at the man sitting across from me and try to jump at him. A shock comes from a collar around my neck that makes me writhe on the floor. "Now that you've calmed down, we can talk, don't try using your powers either, they don't work here. Please have a seat." He says. He gestures at the chair behind me. "You child-stealing son of a bi-," I begin as another shock runs down my spine. "I could do this all day," he says. I look at him with the most "I hate you and want to rip your lungs out through your nose" stare and sit in the chair. "Now," he says "I want you to tell me what you can do. you talk, you don't get shocked, you don't talk, well, I think you know what happens." I stare at him silently, he isn't gonna get any answers from me. He shocks me and I scream. He asks me and shocks me. Over and over again. I still say nothing. "Ok this isn't working," he says. "Maybe you need a little incentive." A guard outside the door throws in Christine and Astra. "You talk, they don't get hurt, if you don't, they get hurt." Christine yells out "Don't tell him any-" And she gets shocked. I see red, I start glowing and I start rising out of my chair. I feel a tingling around my neck and I tear the collar off my neck. I floated back down to the floor and walk over to him. I grab him around the neck and lift him off the ground. I start squeezing and Astra yells at me to stop. She grabs my forearm but I'm too infuriated. I want him to feel the pain he inflicted on my family. I want him to suffer. Then I look at Christine and see her and Astra terrified and with tears running down their faces. I stop glowing and I lower to the ground. I feel bad so I try to reach out to them but they back away. Tears fill my eyes as I reach out and touch them and teleport out of there.
