RECOIL

DAD?

I woke up to the lights of a room?, was this the DALMATERAL's place, ugh that name always sounds odd, the thought of yesterday night was inconspicuous, but I thought as I was on a bed, why would those monsters come all at once, I've never really seen someone getting turned before?
''Are you okay matrix'' a voice came from somewhere, "you were dreaming for 10 months matrix your dad would be elated to see you alive" someone I recognised as a doctor," I don't understand, I have fire powers that burn hotter than fire itself, was it that bad?" I said in a rather disappointed manner. 'Matrix',my doctor called calmly" you where in a coma for 10 months" My doctor did not hesitate to say that.
My Heart twisted inside my body, my mouth was tied and I was unable to say a word, it's disheartening to hear all of this, all this news was too much for me... I just couldn't take it.
I wanted to go back to my real world maybe I am in a coma, in my real world, due to my fire attack. The doctor lifted me, then put me on a silver plated wheel chair, that had a dull gleam, for something plated in silver, it looked aged and had dirt marks around. And he pushed me towards the wooden spruce door, it was darkened, looked rather dirty this whole room looked unsanitary. It didn't take time for me to get to the waiting room, I saw a man, he's body was utterly tattered very much scattered, he came towards me and embraced me, I could hear his heart beats so fast..."dad?" I whispered,"yes son, I have been waiting, yearning to see your vivacious face, for 10 months" said my dad, he started to cry" that mother of yours, you'll never see her monstrous face again, your with someone you love, my son" dad added, he quickly stopped crying and took hold of my wheel chair and carefully pushed me out through the cracked doors of the hospital, then I felt a soft breeze coming from the left, giving me chills, as he pushed me onward... I looked back and read the hospital name 'MENTAL HOSPITAL?' I said out loud 'yes, son you have a mental Illness" my dad said, I didn't feel the need to reply him, we went towards a car, then I as we got closer to it I could register how the car really looks like, it was a 1996 Toyota Sirius, I looked in disgust. I asked my dad "where is the Rolls Royce?"
He stopped, he slowly looked back and gave Me a soft gaze " we lost it, son" he said... " how?"
I asked... then he's said " because of you... Matrix" so he turned back and continued walking, I quickly thought my condition caused this? I didn't mean to cause so much stress for my parents, for my dad. What did my mum do to me anyways i thought, but i didn't want to ask him, he's lost too much... from the looks of him...as we got to the car he opened the door for me and lifted me he grunted as he did so, then put me a type of seat, with sheets on it, looked completely scruffy and was very uncomfortable. My dad then folded the seat and entered the car through the side door, as the car made a loud screech reminding me of Melisa, i still believe I'm in an alternate universe and this is not my real life, my dad turned the key turning on the ignition making the car start in a very loud way, it sounded bad.
As we departed, "dad, is this car used?" I asked," why? Yes son it is" he said "not good enough for my mental patient?" He added, why would he say something like that, i started to hear a soft voice in my head, it said continuously that "this is not your fight but this is your battle, you shall win if you know the enemy, dont trust him he only needs you for your power." I was confused, so i have powers in this world again, i was reluctant to listen to the voice, it was the voice that caused me to wake up in this second hell. I tried to break the silence, " so... dad, do i have a brother?" I asked, he looked at me and then looked back at the road and continued to concentrate, i sensed tension in the atmosphere, i became uncomfortable. I quickly got tired of my dads attitude, and i ordered him "dad do I have a brother?" I shouted at the top of my voice, feeling a huge burst of emotions, the car in front of us did a double flip, i looked at it with awe, i wanted to know if I did that, do I have telekinesis?, then my dad fainted on the wheel. I quickly pulled the hand break, surprised the car even had one. I quickly came out and dragged my dad and i continually shouted 'dad' till he answered "sorry for that son?" He said in a rather ill-starred manner then i quickly knew what he meant "you have telekinesis?" I asked, he looked at me, then back on the floor then nodded.
"Your mother blamed it on me, she said because of the powers, that's why you have cancer?" My dad said, cancer?,I could feel hair on my scalp what was he talking about?, "I have survived this long dad" I said almost feeling tears coming down my cheeks, I knew he's power " was it you dad?" I asked, "yes son" he replied reluctantly... " matrix, we are not safe out here, we need to get cover quickl..." I cut him off " or what, I get radiotherapy, WHAT THEN... WHY didn't YOU JUST LET ME GO?" I stormed off away from the car, this life is not real, I was walking into the bushes which looked rather odd, I could hear my dad shouting my name, too weak to stand up.
"don't trust him,matrix don't trust him, don't trust him don't tru..." the voice stopped, then i saw my dad reappear infront of me, I didn't know he could teleport, "RUN , RUN!" The voice ordered, I suddenly felt my body being held in, squeezed "matrix... you spoiled brat, and your smelly mother, I knew she was in you" my dad said, "what do you want?" I said trying my best not to show fear, "you have your powers too matrix... show him no mercy" the voice said, i still have my fire powers?, " yes, matrix you do... or your mother did and thats what I'm taking from you" my dad said, " over my dead body" i braced myself, ' latent matrix... roar' screamed, fire so hot it froze, came forth. My attack was suspended in the air, i could feel the hold on my body become tighter. "You know fire can't only come out through your mouth son, channel all your fire power to your skin, feel the flame surge through your skin and then release". I quickly understood what she meant, I could feel the flames build up around my skin, then my finger's, then I giggled and thought of a new name for this move and then shouted 'matrix...spiral' it all came out, but this flame was white.
He quickly drew back , then a glimpse of my past came into my head...
** "they posted the list" said Micheal, "how did, i do?" I asked, i ran hurriedly towards the list and i was awed by the list, I paused then I could feel the tears seeping down my eyes, i could barely hold it in, i wondered why i always fell short of everything i did, i always wanted to be as smart as my older brother, be good at what i loved. But whenever i asked for help; no one wanted to help everybody always aim to best me at everything, i cant keep up, I'm just not smart enough... people started to laugh when they saw my face, even my friend Micheal... i ran away trying to escape embarrassment... i could Hear words like "stupid, ugly matrix" people started to chant it. I ranto my class room then my teacher started to laugh at me also, i felt even more alone that before, the loneliness consumed me**
as the fire spread round i could feel tears coming down my eyes, i thought i am tired of fighting, being insulted, secluded. The fire seized, " where did you learn that from?" My dad asked looking rather confused... "learn what?" I replied. "That move is dangerous, you could get lost in your memories"
