Fire Star (a Merome story)

{chapter one} The Beginning

"Don't you dare touch him!" Sky threatened. I stood in shock at the other side of the room. A gang of 3 hooded boys were approaching us. One of them wore a distinctive panda skin.

"What you gonna do about it? He's a freak!"

I wish I could just fly off into the distance and leave everything behind. The group got closer and Sky started to hover slightly off the ground. The panda's eyes glowed red and he appeared to be holding a fire ball. I could hear my brain screaming at me to run, run anywhere but here. Slowly, I edged backwards and creeped slowly along the wall. A fiery orange object came hurtling towards me and I bolted.

It was the fastest I had ever ran in my entire life. I ran speedily back to the Team Crafted house and jumped inside and locked the door.

I should probably explain what's going on. My name's Mitch and I make Youtube videos, but you probably knew that.

I'm a freak, everyone knows.

Everyone else can do something except for me. Jason can run like hell, Ty is just on fire all the time and Jerome... He's my best friend. It all happened 1 week ago, when Jerome and I were recording hunger games...

"Noooo dood!! Why?!!" I laughed.

"Too strong buddy, too strong." He replied.

"Thank you guys for watching, go check out scumbag Jerome's channel in the description and we'll see you guys all later" I joke. Thanks bro.

I was parkouring around the lobby, glancing enviously at the people flying around, I sometimes stay up all night begging to be like them, special like everyone else.

Jerome pops back into the lobby and we start walking back home. He didn't have any powers yet and neither did I felt sort of nice to be different together, we can look after each other like this.

We reach the edge of Spawn City and start off down the darkened pathway on our usual route back home, talking and laughing about today's games.

"Man, you should have seen his face! It was like he'd never seen an axe before!" We both erupt with laughter.

"We'll take on the admins tommorow, deal?"

"Deal."

Suddenly there came a voice from somewhere around us.

"Freaks." It said.

Directly above us sat a levitating boy. Before I can react a flying piece of bedrock comes spinning toward my exposed body. I freeze. Almost seconds later I am lying flat down on the floor, my head spinning and whirling like a vortex.

I hear Jerome growling wildly before a overwhelming chill enters my brain. 5 seconds later I hear a roar and a crashing noise and black out.

---

My eyes open gradually, I can feel familiar skin rubbing against mine. Slowly, my eyes open and I realise the ground lies 2 blocks below me. My limp body cast over Jerome's shoulder. Strange. He'd never had the strength to do this.

"Ashley!" He yelled.

She comes running and I pretend to be asleep.

"Ashley... He got attacked and I-I just went mad all of a sudden and started picking up cars and trying to kill that guy. I don't know what I am anymore..." He cries, violent gasps escaping his mouth.

She smiles, flashing her big blue eyes and looks at me with those horrible 'I'm so sorry' eyes and then I knew. Jerome had powers.
