            Im sitting lost confused. I dont know where i should go how i should live, i need help. I need help from more than one person though if not that someone special like me. I dont belong on this planet but i dont know where i do belong im desperate but lost. I walk back to my run down "home" in the back of an alley where no one will find me. everything is lost my home my true family everything. One option is left finding someone like me a person with talent, extraordinary talent. I dont know what i will do with this power be a hero or villain good or evil  but i do know one thing, i will use my power. I may use it for good maybe evil but i do know i will be found and my power will be used.

          I leave my home and act like a raccoon and scavange for food in garbage and on the street. I dont ask people especially not police because they dont even know i exist, or maybe they do because i found a news paper article that said police were searching for a child like me. I found something i've never seen before on the street it has a small screen tiny letters and numbers and says verizon at the top i cant help myself bu to press the buttons and what i end up writing is "vdshvbkaljcfcljcfc" Then an icon appears and says message sent with a piece of mail flying into a mail box. 

When i get back to my... i was going to say home but now i'll say temporary living arrangement, i found someone sitting on my red chair with torn stuffing this person (at least i think they're a person) is sitting with a dog at her feet, the dog is chewing the mannequin i stole from the department store and also the only thing that keeps me sane so i have something to talk to. She is reading a newspaper that i found and says that the news is old, I shrug. 

"Hello" she says

"HI" I reply

"whats your name"? she says

Caleb I reply "And yours"

"Marissa" she says casually

"Why are you here" I say

"To find someone like myself"she says "we always live in alleys, hidden"

The dog beneath her vaporizes. "I can wlk through walls and create things with my mind she says"

"I have x-ray vision,can control the weather and have power mimicry" i reply

We just stand their staring at each other wondering what to do next (i'm thinking that and i read her mind and she is) We say nothing i think about my options...then i realize i dont have any because if i disagree with her she will convince me to do it. I sigh and say "I'll do what you want only because i know  if i dont you will convince me."Very true" she says. I sigh I I igh and ask her what i need to do. "You will come with me and do what i ask" she says, "Caleb" she continues "you are very different from any Fari (our species) I have ever met. Most of us only have 1 power or the very rare 2, but you are incredible, you my friend you have 3. Come with Me we will get you some new clothes and a dinner".

I looked down at myself my clothes had holes and were covered in dirt and mud and through the holes in my shirt you coould see my bones. I thought about it then said "that is probably a good Idea. All of a sudden the device i found buzzed and there was something on the screen that said what?? I ignored it and walked on.
