My breath came out in puffs.

Everything aches.

I closed my eyes and curled myself into a ball.

Here was not safe. I know that but nowhere is. In every single street, there was at least one of them!

No one had believed me.

I'm also starting to believe that perhaps all these people here are like me.

Maybe I'm not normal.

I barked a harsh laugh, of course I'm not normal. I've been going to therapy for a decade already!

My body has consumed pills, more than it should. My eyes have seen what others don't. I hear conversations that I shouldn't hear. I feel everything and I'm confused.

Even if all of these are true, what am I even supposed to do?

Nothing has changed. I'm still the only one experiencing this.

No one believes me.

My family, the only person who's supposed to care for me, didn't believe me.

The humans who believe in the unnatural, do not believe me.

The inhumane creatures I've ever come across, don't want to believe me.

Wait.

I looked up. When have I met another inhumane creature besides today?

My eyes widened as I realized I was surrounded by the creatures. Another thing, why are they bowing down?

A jolt went through my body as the ache intensified.

I gasp as I remember six people. They were not human. When did I meet them?

My back arched as something protruded from them. I looked behind but screamed as another, more harsher, jolt ran through my body.

Flashes of me practicing how to use my powers with the six people I met. They praised me. On how I learn so quickly.

All the creatures around me backed off and I heard thunder crackle. After it came the fluttering of wings and my feet were off the ground.

I couldn't even panic as my head started to feel like it was splitting.

Why am I having a migraine right now?

Why do I feel like I've been robbed?

It's like nothing's mine! But these powers are mine; they said so themselves and why shouldn't I believe them? It dawned on me what I just said and I screamed.

What was I even thinking?

I opened my eyes but all around, there was only a blinding light.

The warmth started building up in my chest and soon enough I knew I couldn't take it anymore.

The warmth was now hot but also extremely cold. It nips on each of my nerves. My muscles contracted as I felt like they were being torn. My bones cracked as the wind touched them.

I screamed and screamed until I felt I was about to burst.

And I did.
