My name Is Cam Adams and 7 years ago I was struck by an electric cord which electrocuted me and sent me into a coma for 4 months. But for me this was the beginning to a new life. But of course I didn't know that, so this is the journey of how I went from Camellia Adams and born into Electric.
The sun peaked through my curtains instantly waking me up. A soft groan escaped my lips as I sat up straight on my bed. I cracked my back then along with my arms before removing myself from my bed and walking over to my light switch. Upon touching the light switch I get an electric shock. I jerk my hand back with a scowl.
"Everytime, does electricity hate me or something?" I grumble as I then proceed to switch on the light. The brightness blinds my eyes for only a few seconds before I adjust to it. I pick out my clothes for school and then brush my teeth.
I walk back into my bedroom and grab my comb. I'm what you call an average teenager I'm 5 ft 7 with auburn hair which is short, not like to your shoulders short mines is more like boys hair. Why? Because I god damn like it that way.
Running my hands through my hair, my fingertips style the auburn hair. I quickly get dressed and then head downstairs. I live with my aunt and uncle since when I was only 9 my parent's were murdered, they said it was just some robbers but don't always believe what you hear.
I can't stand my uncle and aunt, they couldn't have children so they bounced at the opportunity to take me in, they wanted me to call them mom and dad, but they weren't my parent's and they don't even deserve the name.
I then left the household without a single goodbye, don't worry that's how every morning goes. I made my way to school, ah school the place of dumb brained idiots and barbie wannabes.
Immediately upon my arrival I saw the one girl, who doesn't paticularly get along with me. Jenny Summers. She's smart, like really smart. she's always the top of the class, she's also really pretty. Extremely pretty. Okay I may need to point out I'm a girl who likes girls, Jenny is also a girl who likes girls. Who cares?
I keep my head down and head to class, as per usual I'm late by only a fraction of a second yet that doesn't mean Mr Richards doesn't give me a hard time about it. Dick.
"You're late Mrs Adams." I could feel the smirk he had on as he was writing on the board. "That's the third time this week." He turns around to face me.
"How about I make it a fourth?" I smirk and go to take my seat. A few chuckles came from some of my class mate's. I could tell Mr Richards wasn't at all pleased.
"Okay class, today we are starting on Electricity." Mr Richards started to talk and I straight away zoned out. He gave this long lecture at the start of every lesson about who knows what. Most of the time I don't even pay attention, it's boring.
"Now I shall be picking partners." Mr Richards spoke and the class immediately groaned. "Jennifer Summers...." Every boys hand shot up in the air. "Get your hormonal hands down...And Mrs Adams. Hopefully you'll be able to help her."
I looked over at Jenny who was looking at me with disgust. Yeah we didn't exactly get along but I wasn't a terrible person, okay I was horrible at science but surly Jenny can help me with that.
I grabbed my bag and shuffled over to the desk Jenny was at. She immediately started up the experiment or whatever we were doing. To be honest I never really pay attention to anything.
"Here hold this." Jenny ordered as she passed over an electric circuit, I was oblivious to what she had gave me.
"What is it?" I asked and then took ahold of the electrical circuit, it immediately stung my hand, I yelped and dropped the circuit making everyone face my way.
"What's your problem?" Jenny hissed at me. Did I really need to explain that me and electricity have a disagreement from time to time.
"Well you see me and electricity don't exactly get along." I nodded to her as I looked at my burnt hand that was already healing. I never really understood that part of me. My healing seemed to be faster than everyone elses, say you had a broken bone that may take weeks or months to heal, it only takes me hours.
"I can definitely see that." She rolled her eyes at me just as the bell rung for the class to me dismissed. I grabbed my bag and then headed out of class, my eyes still focused on my hand.
My next few classes were nothing Important, well actually I wasn't paying attention to anything the teachers were saying anyway so who knows what really happened in them classes.
It was lunch, I didn't actually have any friends so I sat alone. I didn't mind, people were oh so annoying anyways. As I was minding my own business I heard a hoard of jocks shout at me.
"Hey freak!" One of the ring leaders yelled at me, then he proceeded to throw an apple to my face. With my super speedy reflexes I managed to catch the apple.
"Thanks." I gave him a smirk as I took a bit into the apple, leaving the jocks standing there with a confused look on their faces. Dead brain idiots.
Once again that was also a part of me I didn't understand, the whole reflexes thing.
Once they school day was over I headed straight home, once again no hello's to the aunt and uncle just a mere glance and then walking upstairs.
"Cam!" My uncle called up to me. "Me and your aunt are going out okay?"
"Mmh okay!" I mumbled back to him, once they left the house, I walked out of my room. My eyes diverted up to the loft. I had never really been up there. So I decided I'd go up and take a look.
I pulled down the handle which assembled a bunch of stairs, I then walked up the stairs and into the loft. It was filled with a load of old junk but a briefcase caught my attention.
On the front of it in scripted in gold lettering was. M.A. My father's name. Michael Adams. I walked over and picked up the briefcase and opened it. There was a few of my dad's old things but there was also a dvd. For Cam.
I rushed down back into my room and placed the dvd into my computer and up came my dad sitting in front of a camera.
"Cam, if you are watching this, whenever you are watching this I am sorry. We are probably gone by now but it was too protect you..you are a lot more powerful than you think. Remember when I use to go on that some humans had special powers, you my dear are one of them. It all started when you woke up that night from your coma, the hospital electricity was flickering on and off and when you awoke...your eyes were electric blue. I know this seems a lot to take in but trust me, you Cam can control electricity. I did some research into you and electricity runs through your viens, you could be able to move any object with electricity running through it. Cam my darling, electricity may also come out of your hands, Your an Adams. Use your power for good not evil."
Then the video shut off. Was I one of them, one of the humans with a little more tapped onto the side?
I closed down my computer and then walked downstairs. This seems the appropriate time to tap into my saving account. So that's what I did.
Over the course of a few days, I had my own underground layer, filled with high tech computers. I have an ability as my father would call it so let's use it.
I was standing in the middle of the layer. I squeezed my hands tightly together, blue viens appeared on my arms, my eyes turning electric blue and then electricity formed out of my hands.
"Woo hoo!" I yelled. "Oh yeah." I raised my fists up but that accidentally shot electricity up to the roof. "Oh sh-.."
That was when I started on the costume, I mean everybody with powers needs a costume right? It was electric blue with an electricity symbol in the middle. (A lot like the costume on the poster for Roy harper in the tv show arrow. Not the costume he actually has but the costume In the poster)
An then a bow, you may be wondering why I have a bow. Will you see what my father forgot to mention is I can't use the electricity too long before it starts to actually hurt. So I have my own compatible bow, I was always good at archery as a child.
Now time for my first mission. To avenge my fallen mother and father. So this my friends is the birth of Electric herself. Watch out.
