Your boots thump against every staircases you descend as you put on your gloves. Not just a few seconds ago you just got this something. A power. Electricity comes out of your fingers. You surprised about it and that was when a lightning shot loudly at the sky.

"Angelica!" Your mom calls. "Can you keep your voice down? And it's going to rain, where are you— sweet baby Jesus!"

Your mother stumbles back after she saw your purple eyes. Your heart beats faster, and so is your motion to put on your coat and your beanie.

"Angelica..." Your mother whimpers, "what happened to you?"

"If you don't want to look at me, mom," you take a deep breath as another lightning hits, "then don't." You take some money from some random shelf and shove it into your both pockets forcefully. "And don't look for me too."

Your mom tries to stop you but she just can't. You already opened the door and ran, out of sight, before she could say a word.

You run from your apartment when you lived heading for the town, because you think that you have no one else to trust, including your friends and family and town is where you can blend with all the people in it.

"Uh sorry," you mumble as you bump into a man, and you pick up your pace again — quickly.

Even you both locked gaze not for a second, he caught what your eyes look like. It magically moved something inside him, and then he begins to tail after you silently.

You pant heavily as you place your hands on your knees. Running away. It's tiring. The thunderstorm is still hitting, wetting your clothes inside out. You just feel suddenly weak and your vision is slightly blurred.

"Argh dang it," you curse under your breath as you feel a jolt inside you. You then realize how stupid you are to be standing in the middle of a thunderstorm while you have a power of electricity.

"Hey lady," someone calls you, and you turn to your right where a guy stand, "why does a pretty chick like you doing out here?"

You groan. "Just get away from me," you swat at him, still having your other hand on your knee.

"Why?" The guy smirks evilly.

"Because I just got a taser."

"A taser?" The guy chuckles, stepping closer to you, "Where did you buy it?"

You straighten your body and jab your thumb backwards. "At some candy street down there. Wanna check it out together? It's limited edition," you say sarcastically. Another hit of lightning is your sign of getting annoyed already.

"Your money babe. Quickly," he walks quickly towards you. Without pulling yourself back you become slightly savage and push him away with your hand, sending electricity jolt at him as he is threw backwards and goes unconscious.

"Yeah that was the taser I was telling you about," you shrug him off.

Breathing heavily, your knees buckle underneath you sending you to the ground. You lean back against the wall and about to fall asleep but then a deep, masculine voice disturbs you.

"That was such a rage," he says, causing you to stare at him. He doesn't really surprised when he sees your eyes.

"No it wasn't," you retort, and as another lightning hits, your eyes turn blue for a moment, and it immediately picks his interest. "Were you following me?" You ask cautiously.

He tips his hat. "Yes," he answers simply and walks toward you until his face is visible enough for you to observe. His brilliant blue eyes distract you the most. You return to the reality and throw your face away.

"Go away."

"You are different."

"I said go away," you say again pretty sternly.

"Why would I do that?"

"JUST GO AWAY!" You practically scream at him, sending a lightning strikes onto the ground two inches right next to him.

And he doesn't even flinch, but then glances down at the fried, smoky spot. After that he just went silence, his gaze still on you.

A sad sigh escapes your lips. "I'm messed up, okay? I'm not saying that I don't want any of this, for God's sake! I just don't want people hurt, all because of me," you sniffle, rubbing your eyes tiredly.

He observes you — your power, your look. And before you know it he already knelt beside you. "Don't be afraid to discover more of your power and learn how to control it," he says, carefully tucking a loose strand of hair behind your ear, "after all, there's a chance for you to become stronger than me."

This grabs your attention fully. "Wait you're... What do you mean- you're..." you stutter, "are you just like me?"

He nods, and you see him barely smirking. "I am," he answers. "What's your name?"

"Angelica. Angelica Stone," you introduce yourself, and you begin to gain trust from this man who you know that he'll be there for you.

"Erik Lehnsherr," he says back, standing up, "I will take care of you Angelica, and you'll never be alone again," Erik holds out his hand at you. You consider and reconsider. If you take it, you will follow him, and you'll be safe. If you don't, you'll be likely dead tortured by people around you.

And so it happens. You place your gloved hand in his, and you think that you are ready to follow his steps to wherever he goes.
