The aliens haven't bothered me for years. Maybe they didn't send out a distress single... maybe they're afraid of me. I've been keeping myself busy with my abilities. I've learned to levitate on command, I've learned to cook food with my thoughts, I can make water funnel upwards and fall just by thinking about it... I can even repair injuries.

Whatever is in my head, it can change the world around it in an instant. Maybe it was growing over time. Maybe the older I get, the more aliens fear me, which is why they tried to get me so young.

I imagine I've been alone all this time because I simply wanted to be. A lot of people have been doing whatever I want to them.

Julia is 18 now... and we've gone all the way many times... I never told her to do anything, but the summer that just past, the moment I desired her, she made herself available to me. She calls me when I miss her, she doesn't when I'm distracted.

No one argues with me anymore, no one questions me. My test scores are always passing even when I pay absolutely no attention.

It's September, a sunny day out. Being 14 I had just started High School. David was coincidentally in all the same classes as me. I had grown fond of him being around, we had a lot of long talks, he let me know the reasons he ever did anything to distance himself from me, we even hugged.

Throughout all the orientations today, when ever I found myself getting bored, things would suddenly turn into a typical name game, some teachers even resorted to letting us roam the halls early to get a better fell for the school on our own. This was all as I expected, exactly what I wanted.

In my last class of the day, PE, the instructor was talking about the essentials of safety. A male student with long balck hair to my right raised his hand and asked the teacher "But what if we want to hurt someone?" The teacher looked back at the student and said "Why would you want to hurt anyone?" the boy looked at me, and I saw right through him. I saw his alien form, it took years, but they finally decided to pursue me again. He didn't get a chance to reply to the teacher's question. I knew what he was going to say. He was going to imply that I was a danger to the other students, he was going to try and out me.

Everyone gathered around him as he gasped for breath & fell over. The moment he looked in my eyes it was like time froze. My heart was beating so quickly, my focus was so precise I felt like my eyes could cut the air in half.

That was when I decided he should die. Moments before I severed his ability to breathe, reality glowed around me. The lights, the skin of all the students, the teacher's bald head... it was like I could see I needed & it all shined. In the moment my existence demanded it, I knew everything I needed to know.

I didn't need to hide anymore. I realized nothing could hurt me. That alien underestimated me and when I was done deciding his fate, when I was done soaking in the reality of my situation, and numerous factors saturating the air, like whipsters in my ear had all spoken their peace at once... I surmise no one has ever known whoever or whatever I am.

"I'm calling an ambulance!" screamed the PE teacher as the alien's head smacked the ground repeated as it convulsed on the floor. HIs skull cracking open from his violent thrashing echoed through my head. When I realized the aliens had found me, my rain instinctively sent a vibration outward so I could sense where this creature had come from . His trail left a stench I could only sense in my mind. Thousands of miles away, a sihhp idled. This one was different than the last. Thinking of the one that came before, over time I grew a subtle remorse for what I did to all the creatures on the initial ship, it was somewhat nice to know that I wouldn't be killing the innocent bystanders & families of those who came to harm time this time around.

I laid down slowly as the screams began. The alien's skin was melting away and everyone who gathered around him began to see that boy for who he really was. I'm sure after a while they would notice I was now passed out, but I planned to be back before anyone showed concern.

Flight out of your body is incredibly smooth. You can see the clouds blowing through the air but you don't feel a thing. There's no weight, no friction or any other form of resistance. The speed I traveled was selective, I was taking my time getting to the ship simply because I hadn't traveled into space since the last time they visited me. Hurrying would imply I was worried, but I knew I had plenty of time.

The moment I passed through the walls a field activated around the entire ship. I don't think they knew I would find out what was going on so quickly. THey thought I was now trapped, but I wasn't going to bother proving them wrong yet, my curiosity consumed me. The aliens on board looked rough, some had significant scars, some were old & crippled.

Passing through multiple rooms on the ship I could hear their minds and vocal chords screaming There was a kitchen, a control station, bathrooms, bedrooms, everything you would expect on a space station made by humans only in black and not quite presented in the same styles or proportions.

It was beyond obvious these creatures were not here by their own choice. My original assumption was that they were simply afraid as they had heard stories about me, but seeing their bodies, they appeared as prisoners. This species must be one to exile anyone who is imperfect.

It was odd though, I had seen these aliens repair exploded eyes before... I had seen them heal as if it was nothing before, so why were all these rooms filled with broken creatures? Unless there was a monetary system in their society and healing came at a price.

I felt bad for them, they were terrified of me and had no will to harm me. As I arrived in the control center of the ship I could see the pilots were not piloting anything at all. It was as if this was all setup elsewhere. One of the creatures who was not horrified by my presence approached me and tried to communicate with me in their alien language.

I could feel what I felt, it was afraid of the second ship, a ship that hid behind a cloak that those on board had no idea I could detect and see right through me.

I felt sympathy for this creature speaking to me. He reminded me of the special ed boy who drugged me in the bathroom all so he could remove the devices other aliens planted in my brain to attempt stunting my abilities.

The invisible ship fired a beam towards the prisoner ship that penetrated the force field. Everyone exploded around me. My arms, my legs, my upper body... I didn't even notice it was all gone in an instant.

I felt myself floating through space, past the field the elite aliens had generated around the now decimated prisoner ship. They shot at me once more, and I felt nothing. They fired again, and I continued to advance regardless. These creatures were not stupid, they knew they were all about to die.

It took them only seconds before they attempted to evade me but before they even began to turn, the entire ship was crushed in front of my reforming eyes. As my brain grew around the black rock, the source of who I am, and my body was restored to it's full form, I felt a sense of immortality. The world was mine, maybe one day the universe.

But I had been up here too long, time to return to class.
