I was sitting chris cross on the water trying to stay focused. I didnt have a shirt or pants. All i could afford to have on water were my underpants since i didnt have shorts. I started to get the hang of it after just a few hours. "You progressed pretty fast. Now you have to go deeper in your mind to truly control your gift." his voice sounded very formal. "Yes you have a point. I'll go deeper." i wasnt sure what id find but i knew i had to go.  Everything went dark even when i opened my eyes everything was dark. Where am i? Hello? Almost instantly i saw a boy crying. Kid are you ok? He didnt say anything but he asked the weirdest thing. Why didnt you kill all those jocks in the alley? They were weak and no one could see you. You had a perfect chance but yet you let them go. he sounded like a one of those kids you'd find in a scary movie. Somehow i manged to talk. I didnt kill them because i didnt want to lose my humanity. If i took it a step further then i would be a killer. When i hurt them i felt like i was drowning in madness. I wasnt sure what he'd say next but the kid wasnt good. What's so bad about madness? When you're consumed in madness you have no fear, no doubt, no emotion what so ever. He wanted to make me a killer. You're right on that. But if i do get consumed in madness then I wont be able to feel love or happiness. I wasnt lying. I knew that would happen. You'll want to fall in it eventually. Everyone has at least a tiny bit of madness in them. Nothing will ever fight it off. Almost instantly i knew what i had to do. I had to prove him wrong. Thats where you're wrong. Their is one thing that fights off madness. And that is called bravery. And i would be willing to bet my soul on that. After i said that word everything turned scary. I could see how he looked. It was me when i was little but he was different. Its like i struck a nerve. What the hell are you talking about?! You're willing to bet your soul on something as fragile as someones bravery?! How stupid can you be!! Only madness can give you the strength you need!! Bravery is nothing special!! I cut him off before he could finish. As he was yelling it looked like he was gonna explode. Literally. You're right about that. Bravery isn't special. Because everyone has it. His expression was hard to read. Like a blank page. Everyone has it huh?....then its just like madness.. After that he exploded and what seemed like an ocean filled with blood was now fresh water as far as the eye could see. I opened my eyes after that. And what i saw was amazing. "You did it. Good work. Now what you do with that power is up to you." i saw Heath looking at me with a weird smirk. "Thank you." i looked down and i was startled to what i saw. My tattoo spread. It was like a cross with wings and a halo. I even felt stronger and i knew how to activate my gift. It was as simple as moving a finger. I felt someone else in my head and i knew something was coming. But i would beat it with some help.
