Crimson Power (Gay)

Chapter 1 - Powers

Thorn's P.O.V.

How do I explain this? I have powers. And before you say anything, it is possible. I mean. My town was strange for sure. Uhh. I'll start from the beginning.

It is moving day. We're moving from a Big city to a small town. Mom says its a big change but I honestly don't think it'll make a difference. I was always picked on for being 'weird' or 'a freak'.

I have only one best friend and she is my ex. I never really showed her any love. But she sure showed it to me. She still does. We are the same age 15. But I was moving into a new town leaving her behind. Her family found a house in the town and they decided to move there in a couple months.

My dad's yelling snaps me back to present time. "Thorn! Answer me!" he yelled. "What dad?" I answered. "Do some heavy lifting and be useful for once in your life." His words used to sting me and they still hurt but I get over it. What hurt more was his belt if I got on his bad side. I told Cleo(my ex) about it and she wanted to tell someone but I said no.

I went into the beating heat seeing one box by my dad and him carrying another one. I grab the one on the ground and carry it to the moving truck. The man gently takes it from me smiling. I walk to the car and see my dad putting out his cigarette. We hopped into the car and as we start moving I look out my window at the passing buildings and Houses. My few friends I had were now far behind me.

---------------------------------------

I woke up from my sleep to see us pulling into a driveway of a house which seemed to be bigger than our other house. Dad yells at me "wash up. We have a full day of unpacking tomorrow." I just walk inside with clothes and a towel. Down into the bottom bathroom. I take off my clothes and jump into the shower and clean myself. When I come out my dad opens the door and inspects me. He smirks and puts his cigarette out on me. I flinch in pain and squeal. He throws the cigarette in his pocket and leaves the bathroom.

Tears were streaming down my cheeks. I looked in the mirror where he burned me and get angry. "why do you always do this?" I let my anger take over. "Why do you put up with him. Because you're an idiot." I throw my shampoo bottle at the mirror causing it to break. I look at it first in fear, if my father were to see it, then in wonder as I touch it. It cuts me and I look down at the blood. I look back up at the mirror to see it fixed. I look back to my cut and see it healed. All that's left is a scar.

This isn't apparently the first time this has happened. My mother has told me of times when I was at the babysitters where they found kids doing what I wanted. Or the babysitter seeing blood on a scrape on my knee one second and then it being gone a minute later. I never witnessed it until today. And I am shocked. But I think I can use it to my advantage. The burn on me was healed too.

I lay in bed thinking about my new school, my powers and other things. Suddenly my mind drifted into sleep as I slept on a foam mattress. Man I couldn't wait for my real bed.
