(Jake's pov)

Walking home after a long day of school I let out a sigh of annoyance as I remember the events of the day.
(Flashback)
Walking into school like normal being taunted for my appearance always being different from everyone else. Everyday I go through this, everyday I'm subjected to these idiots making snide remarks about me. My black hair with white stripes covers my eyes as I look at the people around me. Then my idiot older brother along with his friends block my path. I look up at them with my pure black eyes filled with contempt then Deven shouted at me, "Hey dickhead!" I growl back, "What do you want?" He walks up to me with his group of friends and pokes me in the chest. I whisper softly, "Don't touch me you asshole". He shouts right in my face, "What are you gonna do about it emo?". I give him a savage grin and say, "This." I grab his wrist and twist it at an unnatural angle nearly breaking it,enjoying his screams of pain. Before I could do more damage to him all his friends attacked me catching me off guard,they broke my nose and gave me a black eye and walked away while I was disoriented. Slowly getting up I gave everyone around me a glare and walked away.

Walking to the boys toilets to wash away the blood, my nose already healed from being broken. After I washed away the blood I moved to my first class of the day, that being my most hated subject which is history. Walking into class already late the teacher shouted, "Jake why are you late for my class?". Sighing I say that I needed to go to the toilet to wash away the blood on my face from a fight I was in earlier but without a scratch on me the teacher didn't believe me and gave me detention for after school. I sat down in my seat right at the back and barely paid attention to the lesson , nearly falling asleep on my desk but before I could one of the girls in my class moved to sit next to me. I looked at her with calculating eyes until I asked, "What do you want Jessie?". She flinched at my cold tone but nonetheless she looked at me with a determined look in her eyes and said, "Hey Jake" she continued, "Do you want to hang with me and Emma after school?". I looked at her with a blank expression and asked, "Why?". She looked down and I noticed a light blush come to her cheeks and she said, "Well I think you're brave and strong and hot and I'd like to get to know you better.". I looked at her with cold eyes and said, "Thank you for the compliment but I have detention after school." She looked down in disappointment and said, "Oh ok then, maybe some other time." I gave her my usual fake smile and said, "Sure maybe next time.". Letting a happy sigh out for hearing the bell ring I was the first out of class and first by our next class.

(Time skip two hours)

It was finally break and as I made my way to my usual spot I noticed a group of people waiting for me. As I walked closer I counted nine kids, my brother right at the front of the group. Already aware of what was going to happen I discarded my jacket and bag and got ready for a fight. My brother walked towards me and said I was gonna get what I deserved, I smirked and got ready for the fun to start.

(3rd person's pov)

Jake moved with incredible speed, tearing through the group as easily as a hot knife through butter. Punching one of them in the throat nearly breaking his neck, Jake turned to 3 of them that tried to attack him at once. He moved quickly punching one across the jaw and kicking the other 2 in the face knocking all 3 unconscious. After that he turned to the next 4 and attacked with a killers precision, quickly knocking out 3 of them with strikes to their temples and threw the last one on the ground and stepping on his chest effectively knocking the air from his lungs. It was over in a few minutes with everyone on the ground except for Jake's brother. He moved towards him and grabbed his arm and broke it with a sickening sound. As Deven screamed Jake just laughed knowing what was waiting for him at home after all this.

(Flashback end)

Lost in his thoughts he didn't notice that he was already outside his house. Sighing he knocked on the door and let himself in. Standing in the centre of the hallway were his supposed parents glaring at him, the hate and resentment obvious in their eyes. He walked up to them and asked, "What?" His mother slapped him hard and his father punched him. Knowing what this was about he let his parents beat him and when he tried to explain why he did what he did they just beat him more. They stopped when he was bleeding profusely and he was horribly bruised. They left him to get up and go to his room. By the time he reached his room he was already healed, never understanding why he was so hated when he just wanted to defend himself and not understanding his healing ability. He felt like a freak as always there was something wrong with him, he wished he knew what.

(Next morning)

He woke up at 5:00am as usual. Getting out of bed before anyone else since it was a Saturday and that means no school. Going to the kitchen to steal some food he made himself a quick sandwich already walking out of the house and eating his sandwich. Dressed in his black hoody and black jeans with white trainers on.

He didn't think it'd be the last day he's a human
