Unusually Unusual

Humble Beginnings.

Humble Beginnings.

As a kid, I was.....weird. And where I come from, that is saying something. I always believed with absolute certainty that magic, whether it be mother nature bringing a bud to bloom, or stopping a car collision with your mind, existed. But before I go any further I'll introduce myself. Hi, I'm Jessie. And this is my story, long, unusual but never the less a story. I'm human..... sort of..... not typically human but still human, confused ? I don't blame you! I was born with an amazing gift, being able to move people and objects with my mind. I even learned how to move myself with my mind. I'm not exactly from earth, though I live in london. I'm originally from a place called Galanova, which exists simultaneously to earth, but vibrates at a different frequency so the two never cross. So kind of like a alternate dimention where we can do incredibly unusal things. You're probably thinking how did I came to be in london and what my home was like, don't worry, we will get to that.

When I was young, something terrible happened to me. I lost my mother. She was murdered. And I was sent here to london, to survive.....
And don't worry I will delve into all the dirty details for you who really want to know.

I was born in the south of Galanova, a place called Soliat, which was coincidentally the name of the first settlers tribe. The Soliat Tribe. Soliat was a bustling city where the sun shined almost every day. I don't really remember much of it as I was very young when I had to leave my family and my home behind, some may say that I was lucky to have my memory wipes before departing. But when I got it back, it was honestly one of the hardest times of my life! Not that I'm old yet, I'm only 22 and I'm a barista for a living. For those who don't know what that is I make coffee, lattes etc. I find it peaceful making those rosettas, hearts and tulips. That's my favourite part of it all. Anyway I digress!
Most born to the soliat tribe were blessed with gifts of nature or heat. My mother was different and subsequently so was I. She was born a telepath, able to read minds and move objects with her mind. And then developed a gift for talking to nature, animals included, she could get a flower to bloom in seconds, that was favourite as a kid, she would bring to this park which was famous for having a rare type of tree in the centre. It's was very different to the great oaks here in london, it's bark was a golden brown and the leaves were turquoise and it was gigantic. And they were indestructible. You couldn't cut the bark or burn it, which is why they survived so long. Anyway my mother would emulate a sprout with the same hew leaf. It was my favourite! It made me so happy! Each year on the anniversary of her passing, I sprout one identical to hers at the base of this great oak I grew when my memory first came back to honour her. She was the kindest and most fiercly strong person I have ever known. Just like that great oak that Beamed with kindness to those around yet was incredibly strong.

I live in a one bedroom apartment in the centre of london city, with my best friend Kayla. We shared the bed which is a queen size and sometimes one of us takes the couch when the other has..."Company". Lets not focus on that *Smirk*. Oh this is where I mention that this is a 18+ book. Sorry bout it.

The best thing about living with Kayla is she has powers too! She has a proclivity for electric currents, she can manipulate, and create electricity amoung other things. Which saves us money on bills! We actually practise combat together, deep in these caves off the coast of Ireland. Queue the battle scene....

Two tremendous beams of energy clash and we pan out to see too not overly but definitely above average  (if I do say so myself) figures battle with high stakes in the centre of a well lit cave being the perfect spot to practice intense battles encompassed by crashing waves that crash against the rocks magically placed to cover the entrance. Now! Back to first person. Go!

The two beams emplode on each other sending shockwaves and smoke in all directions. A bolt of lightning cascades from kayla's hand towards me (cascades, eloquent word eh ?)
With a wave of my my hands, a large rush of water bursts from the entrance clashing and exploding on contact with the lightning. "OH nice save" Kayla teases. "Haven't tried that one before" I exclaimed. Another bolt of lightning hurls towards me, bracing myself with both hand out in front of me, the bolt hits a field of mental energy, haulting a few inches in front of me. Then from nowhere a trike of lightning to my back from the entrance. "Ahhhh" I curled over in pain! And it really hurt! Luckily she wasn't using her full energy or I would have died, and then she would have been a terrible friend! "Hey, you ok ?" Kayla said slightly worried. "You need to guard your back as well, Jessie, you don't know where it could come from. She walked over to my and touched my head, and with that, we disappeared, like a swirl of energy. Think instant dissaperating if you know what that means.

Back to our tiny apartment and I'm carried into the bathroom. Kayla is super Strong. Even more so after a fight, it's like her muscles get supercharged by the electricity and can lift 10x her normal weight we've tested it.

Flashback, BANG.

Kayla continuosly absorbs electricity while launching it at me while I ground it encasing my shoes in stone to ground the charge, then getting her to punch my force field and lift magically altered car weighed down by gravity manipulation. Cortacy of moi.

FLASHBACK TO CURRENT RETELLING, GO!
