Cassie's POV:

There I was, standing there, unable to move. I had been bullied and picked on since I started school and I had enough and decided to fight back. The boy, Dustin Paul, shoved me to the wall, with his other friends around, ready to catch me if I escaped. I decided after 4 years of this, I needed to fight back. I clenched my left fist and I threw a punch in Dustin's chest, causing him to fly backward. I backed off and waited for him to stand back up but instead, he remained there, on his hands and knees, clenching his chest with his left hand. I then looked down at my hand and wrist; it was glowing slightly. It was barely noticeable. I then glanced back to Dustin; all of his friends were crowded around him. I then saw it. Dustin was having breathing problems. He could barely breath.

"What did you do to him?!" His best friend Jack Glade shouted.

His friends attempted to help him up. He had a strange mark on his chest, exactly where I hit him. What did I do? A teacher then stepped out from a nearby classroom and immediately saw what had happened.

"P... Put..." Dustin uttered out before nearly collapsing again.

The teacher glanced over at me, then at Dustin, then back at me. She saw my glowing hand and looked at the strange glowing mark on Dustin's chest and shirt.

"Are you trying to kill someone Miss Roxi?!" The teacher shouted at me.

I nervously shook my head and began to run away. I only intended to show Dustin that I was strong; but I didn't mean to severely injure if not kill him. Next thing I knew, I was in the office with my parents, and several other adults.

A/N: Jaxon Roxi is Cassie's dad and Amanda Roxi is Cassie's mom.

Jaxon Roxi's POV:

I sat there in the office of my daughter's school with my wife and youngest daughter after hearing about a certain incident that occurred involving Cassie. Cassie was crying next to the doorway in front of the principal. She was bullied for many years so I would be livid if this was some lie against her. A teacher walked into the office looking upset at the situation.

"Your daughter punched one of our students today..." she began.

"I'd like to object and say that she has been bullied since she started school so I think it serves those kids right!" My wife exclaimed, 2-year-old Alexis in the stroller next to her.

"This punch caused the student to have breathing problems and may have to be brought to the ER." The teacher stated before letting the victim in with his parents.

Dustin Paul came in, his hand still clenching his chest and underneath I saw the mark. I looked at Cassie, who felt guilty for what had happened.

"This could not have been her fault." I said.

"All of his friends witnessed it Mr Roxi. Ask any one of them and they will assure you that she did this." Mrs Paul retorted.

I glanced at Cassie, believing that she would have never done something like that.

"It was an accident." She said, barely understandable through her sobbing.

I didn't know what to think.

"Let me show you what she probably did!" Mr Paul exclaimed as he approached Cassie.

He grabbed her wrist, immediately jolting his hand back, shouting in pain.

"Now she's hurting adults too?!" The teacher exclaimed.

My wife stood up, shouting at him that maybe he should not have touched Cassie. Cassie came to me, sobbing even harder.

"Mr and Mrs Roxi, I'm afraid that I'm going to have to suspend Cassie Roxi for the next week and I will ban her from interacting with any of the students again." The principal stated.

That wasn't fair to Cassie. Taking away her social life for the rest of her life is not something that the principal should be allowed to do. But if it meant that Cassie would stop being bullied, then she would have to accept that.

"I understand. And I apologize for everything that occurred to your students." I said before leaving.

The 4 of us left the school, Cassie was buried in her own tears.

Amanda Roxi's POV

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt him! It was an accident!!" My daughter exclaimed, balling her eyes out as she entered the house.

Jaxon kneeled down and calmly asked her to lift her sleeve. When she did, her entire wrist was glowing and had a strange marking on it. Jaxon lifted his finger to try and touch her wrist but Cassie backed away, not wanting to cause any more harm. She was upset at her mistake and ran to her room, away from us. Jaxon let out a sigh before getting up and turning to the stairs.

"Let her be Jaxon." I said.

She probably needed some alone time. Jaxon stood there for a bit and agreed to give Cassie the time she needed to get herself together.

A/N: Hope you enjoyed this first chapter. It's my first story so I hope it's not too bad. What do you think of the incident? How do you think Cassie got these strange powers? Stick around for more.

A/N: Will eventually find photos but for now just stay with me until I figure that out.
