This story is about a girl who was born with something that no one understands. One day she activates this "power", and everyone fears her. She was put into an asylum that studies people like her. For years she was tormented...but one day she escap...
I had just started the first grade, and I HATED it. Everyone founded me to be weird and different, so most kids weren't really nice to me. I always wanted to fight back and defend myself, but I knew there was no point. For I was much smaller than the other kids and would obviously lose, so I had no choice but to let them pick on me. Everyday, when I got home, I would cry until I couldn't cry no more.
One day, when I got home, I cried myself to sleep, only to be woken up by the sound of my name.

I pulled over my covers, and swung my legs over the edge of my bed. My bare feet touched the cold wooden floor, sending a chill up my spine. I fully stood up, and rubbed my eyes. I looked around, and all I can see was pitch-black darkness. Except there was a glare of light blinking under my door. I walked over, and opened my door slowly. I viewed in my siblings' and mother's room, and I saw they weren't even here. I went around the house looking for them, but I couldn't find anyone.
I'm alone....
Suddenly, I heard a whisper that caught my attention, and I turned around immediately. A door opened, and inside I could see the source of the blinking light. I thought for a moment, and finally I let curiosity lead me.
I went inside the room, and the door closed shut. I jumped a little, not at fear, but sudden surprise.
I actually wasn't scared of a lot of things, in fact, I wasn't scared of anything at all.
As I stared behind me, at the door, I knew there no turning back now. Even if I wanted too, I was pretty sure that door wasn't going to budge.
I bent down to observe the lights more closely. I traced my fingers over it, and found a hatch. I pulled it, and a small door that was molded with wall opened. It seemed to lead upstairs. I've never noticed this door in our house before, and it seemed too small for either my mom or siblings to fit through.
So why is this here?
The light began to brightened, and I saw that it was definitely coming from upstairs. I kept walking up the stairs, and the door closed on it's own again. I reached the top, and I could see the source.
It was a circle of candles, with a piece of paper in the middle. I walked into the circle of candles, and picked up the paper to read what it says.

After reading the paper out loud, the candles around me started flickering, and the room had gotten darker.
My first reaction was to get out, NOW!
I ran towards the door, and was pushed back by a strong force. I fell back inside the circle of candles, and the darkness started swarming around it.
I got up, and started screaming for help, and began pounding on the barrier between the darkness and the circle of candles. Nothing was working, and the thick, black cloud was getting closer. I was soon in the middle, trying my best to get away.
Suddenly, there was loud shrieking. It was so loud, I had to cover my ears from the high pitch of it. I felt like my ears were going to bleed, and that I would soon suffocate from the darkness. I thought for sure, I was going to die....but finally, everything came to a stop.
I fell to the ground with a thud.
I grew drowsy, and my eyes started to shut, but before I could fall asleep...I heard a voice.
"You're mine now, lost girl, and I will never let you be found."
