I still remember the day my parents were killed. I had abilities that no one had ever seen, yet i couldn't even save the people who meant the most to me. My parents were what you would call mutants and so was i. My dad was nicknamed bon, short for bonfire. He could set anything or anyone on fire if he wanted to. My mom was named violet, since she can kind of create a cloak of invisibility on anything or anyone for that matter. I saw them both as my heroes, but the government only saw them as a threat.
I remember my dad complaining about having to move to my mom because of the threat of someone discovering us, well them. I didn't have powers or abilities, and i even heard my parents arguing on when my powers would come in. I was 9 and they still didn't cone in. My mom kept telling my dad stuff like "Just have patience, they will eventually develop". I kept patience but theirs was running out. One day while taking me to school, my mom got a secret message from Phillip. Phillip was a messenger for people like them, to make sure that we all stay connected and in tune with one another but the news he brought did not keep us united, but instead later will separate us.Phillip brought us news of the government creating a secret agency to infiltrate our species and wipe us out in order to guarantee the protection of the human population. Word had been spreading that almost all of us were either killed or captured and if we want to remain alive, then we need to move into hiding.
Mom was petrified and Dad was losing it. I got up one night to listen to what they were arguing about and dad went on and on how he wasn't going to give up his freedom over a rumor. "I refuse to let my family be a victim of this implausible account!" Dad said while in mom's face. "Think of our daughter for God's sake.. you sit here and tell me that you care yet you make major decisions based solely on you and what you want. What about us and what we need. God! Stop being so selfish" mom said while being shushed by dad. "Do you hear that?" Dad asked quietly while walking toward the door. I heard it too.The sound was as if someone had busted through the front door. I was scared so i ran back to my room and hid under my bed. There were these rock-like things thrown into the hallway, I heard them hitting against my door and next thing i know i see thick green smoke seeping under the door seal. I kept hearing the screaming of my mom and dad and finally I heard gunshots. 5 seconds later my mom runs into my room and locks the door. She opens the window and throws some of my belongings out the window. She ran back over and pulled me from under the bed and gave me brief instructions of what was going to happen. "In less than a minute, some men are going to take mommy and leave okay, but I need you to know that I will be okay but i need you to stay under that bed until i am completely gone. Understand?" She says gripping my shoulders. I nod. "Once i am completely gone, you go out that window and take this and press that pink button and Phillip will come and get you before those men come back." My mom handed me this weird key chain thing with all sorts of buttons on it but i saw the pink one and knew what i had to do. My mom put me under my bed and sure enough three big men walked into my room. It was silent for a second, then I heard a gun shot.
I didn't know what happened until my mom's body dropped to the ground. She reached out to me and i did completely nothing. She shielded me with her invisibility but i still saw her. The men then came and carried her body out and left me under the bed. I just reacted. So i got up and walked outside to the men who pointed guns at me all around on both sides. I still don't know what came over me but I regret it every day.
I raised my hand and said to myself "put your gun in your mouths" and all of the men there did put their own gun in their mouths. Then i saw my dad laid of the ground stone dead too. So i said "Pull the trigger". I started to scream as i watched all of the men and women's bodies dropped to the cold ground. Next thing I know, i was swooped up by Phillip and transported back to his house.
My powers are deadly, unforgivable and highly incompetent of being controlled. Or maybe it's me.
