Becoming a Titan

Find a Home

I have to find a new place...Where can someone like me belong?I was ony a child...Only 8 years old...With my...curse...I don't consider what I have to be a gift in any way at all.It has completely ruined my life...Taken away what little I did have to begin with...My name is Isis.Kind of a dull name...But my life is far from dull...I guess I should just start from the beginning of this horror story...

Waiting to be adopted was horrible!I waited day in and day out to find out if anyone wanted me.Nothing.My room mate had the same luck.Yes.That's right.I lived in an orphanage.My room mate was Maree Lenard.She was really quiet and shy.I didn't have many people to talk to,so I spent most of my time reading and studying.I really enjoyed being the smartest in my class.

I started to notice strange things changing about me...I started having weird dreams...Dreams that I was being tortured in some way.The weird thing about these dreams was that I could feel what was happening.Most nights,Maree had to wake me because my screaming woke her up and scared her.It scared everyone else at the orphanage too.I eventually learned that these dreams were happening for a reason.

One day,when I was making my bed,Maree came and asked for help on her math lesson.As I was reading the problem,she started arguing with me about my answers.I knew that I was right,but she was making me so mad.

I started yelling at her,but my temper just kept getting worse and worse.I couldn't control myself.I saw a kitchen knife slowly appear behind her neck.It was floating toward her.I stood there as it touched her skin.Her eyes became extremely large and she started screaming.It began to pierce her neck slowly.

I felt my anger melt away into fear.As the last bit of rage left inside of me was replaced by gut-wrenching horror,I saw the knife fade away into thin air.The cut on Maree's neck faded with it.She started to cry and ran away from me.I didn't know what to do.

Whatever just happened,she felt and saw it too.I grabbed everything I owned and ran away.Whatever was wrong with me didn't need to be put upon anyone else.I needed a new life.

That's where I am now.Looking for a life.I wander around the city,looking for a safe place to stay.I found the park and walked around for awhile.I walked down the path,following the glow of the tall streetlights that were put in the park for nights like these;when people want to take relaxing walks in the dark...

Eventually,I found a park bench and gave in for the night.It had been a long day.I slowly drifted to sleep. My suitcase lying underneath me.I didn't care if anyone took it.I had nothing to look forward to anymore.Once I drifted to sleep,the nightmares began.

I was walking through a hall of mirrors.All my reflections holding different weapons.I felt a stab in my left shoulder.When I looked around,my reflections were all gone.The walls began to close in on me.I started to scream but no one can help me now.They close closer and closer.I'm running out of air.My chest grows so tight.Then,all of a sudden,I am pulled out of my dream by someone waking me up.They are shaking my shoulders.

"Calm down!Wake up!You're safe!Just stop your screaming!"I opened my eyes to see a small boy looking at me.He was bald and extremely short.He had what looked like a large mechanical spider attatched to his back.Two of the spider legs were on my shoulders.By his side are two other people.One is a girl with pink pigtails that had a black stripe in each.She wore a short black dress and had purple and black leggings on under that.And the other was a huge,muscular boy who looked like he was impatient.

"W-w-who are you?"I dared to ask that question.They all looked terrifying.

"We're the H.I.V.E.We can help you."The girl looked caring.She took a step toward me.Involuntary,I placed a glass wall between her and me.She obviously saw it,but no one else did.She looked shocked."You have powers!That's fantastic!"

I looked down,"Not really.They cost me my home..."

"That's okay.You can come join the H.I.V.E. accademy.Just come with us!I'm Jinx,by the way."She smiled.

"Yeah!We can always use another student!And I'm Gizmo."The short boy grinned.

"Just come with us.You must be exhausted from all that screaming you did.Mammoth,carry her with us."Jinx waved a finger and the strong boy picked me up with ease and carried me,following Jinx and Gizmo.
