Strange Magic

Leaving the past behind

Tiberius was over come with happiness as they walked out of the big brick building. Looking back Tiberius saw that it was as old on the outside as it was on the inside. Falling apart and breaking, it looked gloomy and hideous. Now he thought he could leave the past behind. He  had a family, and he was heading to a place he could call home, he had never remembered being so happy before in his life.
As Tiberius continued to be lost in thought he felt some one tapping on his shoulder.

" On our way home were going to stop at a store to get you new clothes, alright?" Finn asked as he guiduied Tiberius to the car.
It was a small car, its paint was black and chipped. It was also low to the ground and even though Tiberius was short he bumped his head getting in with a small thud.
"  Are you okay Tiberius? " Miguel asked as he looked at Tiberius worried.
" I'm fine, but I might have dented the car a little." Tiberius said as they all laughed.
As they drove Tiberius saw that they were leaving town, the thing he had dreamed of doing for a long time and it was finally happening.
  I can finally let the past go, its a new beginning. Nothing in the past matters anymore.

" Tiberius are you okay, is anything wrong?" Miguel asked curiously.
" No dad, I was just thinking of how happy I am to leave that town and have a family now." Tiberius said joyfully as his eyes turned from lavender to an emerald green.
About two hours had passed and the outline of a town had started coming into view.
" Before we get too close we forgot to tell you that you have an older brother and sister, also were certain that you'll fit in among their friends." Finn announced.
Tiberius was taken back by this, but was quickly distracted by the forest that loomed ahead of them.
" Your new home is near those forest but first we have to go into town to get you some stuff alright." Miguel said with a gleam in his eyes

Within another 10 minutes they were entering township of Colati.
From what Tiberius could see the town was mostly filled with small shops and the buildings looked like they were from pioneer times. This alone made  Tiberius love the town from first sight, but what he didn't know was that the people here were not as peaceful as they were thought to be.
Soon they pulled into a parking lot to a clothing with the words
" Top notch" written in big blue letters across the top of it.
Getting out of the car Tiberius hit his head again. His eyes started turning a light shade of grey.
" Tiberius we will love you for who you are,but the people of this town don't take to kindly to magic. " Finn whispered in his ear.
" If you mean my eyes and hands I don't know how to control it dad's. I'm sorry." His voice shaking a little.
" Tiberius its fine. You didn't even seem to know what you are and we'll help you but wheil were in the store try to keep calm okay? " Finn said hoping to calm him down.

Soon Tiberius was okay and they entered the store. Everything looked so new, nothing in there was old and ragged like the things he was wearing now.
" Pick out anything you want." Miguel looked over to encourage him to look around.
Tiberius started walking down the different isle's looking over the vast selection of clothes. As he reached the back of the store a section filled with plaid shirts and jeans caught his eye. Tiberius started looking for clothes in his size. After about 10 minutes he settled on six plaid shirts, one jean button down shirt,six pairs of jeans, a pair of jogging pants and a grey leather jacket. With his new clothes in hand he set off to find his dad's.

" Let me see what you picked out." Finn said as he reached for the pile of clothes from Tiberius.
" You must really like plaid don't you?" He said with a chuckle.
Miguel piped up behind him with a set of black running shoes in his hand, they looked about Tiberius' size.
" What do you think of these? " Miguel asked as Tiberius nodded. He was a bit shy when it came to having shoes with laces because no one had ever taught him how to tie them. But he wouldn't admit that. They went to the check out and soon were in the car heading to his new home. It was about a fifteen minute drive up a hill into the forest. Once they reached the top of the hill a wooden cabin came into view and a boy and a girl stood on the porch. From the first look you could tell they were twins. Tiberius felt excited but nervous, what his new siblings didn't like him? Tiberius' eyes turned a mix of violet and baby blue. A turquoised coloured flame sparked from his hands.
