Two Years ago

"Oh mighty shrub guardian please forgive whoever killed that defenseless plant," I managed to say through my laughter while my brother glared daggers at me.

" That shrub was my art sculpture and It's worth 20% of my grade so wipe the ugly off your face. it's annoying me. ugh now I need to fix it," Dylan growled as he shoved the limp plant that now consisted of thin stem and mangled leaves into the trunk of his deep charcoal Lamborghini.

A small smile formed on my lips. someone's in a bad mood.

You see my brother goes to an impressive art school and I just didn't think his dumb plant sculpture would suffice the standards of the school.

Oh and the sculpture was of Lil o'l me and obviously that wasn't the problem. When he refused to make my backside look more voluptuous I decided that it was time for the poor shrub to tragically die...I will however seriously deny any witnesses claiming I had anything to do with its death.

Like my money crazed mother always said, " don't say anything unless the men who talk lies and shit for a living ( aka a lawyer) gives the clearance to speak."

Dylan ran his fingers through his dirty blonde hair and glared at me before walking towards the school.

"Oh I know you love me," I yelled at his retreating back. He simply waved me off and with a grin I followed behind him into Prestige Academy. Yup whoever named the school was a terrible namer, but anyways my school, what a bundle of joy.

There are the lovely hussy's by the fountain securing a life as a gold digger to keep money in their families and by the football field the jocks. The worst type because their not the average good lookin Jerk faces, nope! These guys are heirs to billion dollar conglomerates and fancy stuff I get bored of talking about so they're born with double the arrogance.

Then there are my life savers. Prestige's one and only student counsel. Even though the only counseling we ever did was that on Fridays we get chocolate chips in addition to creme Brulee for dessert at lunch.

"Smile Nyx you don't want everyone to know you don't actually live and breath sunshine and rainbows" whispered Trinity. Her name alone screamed goodie goodie. And sadly contrary to my brothers belief I am one as well.

" Ugh huh cause people believe that, " I winked at her while we rushed towards Chem 9.

" homework, we had homework? " I asked as I frantically looked for my non existing Chemistry assignment.

"Take a chill pill princess" Smirked some random slacker from behind me as the smell of nasty morning breath swirled in my face.

Princess, that word. I hate that word shut up and slap some sense into yourself before you end up a bum on the streets. I thought to myself.

"I'm sure daddy could just buy you an A or..."

The jocks voice trailed to silence before he raised his hand and a loud smacking sound resonated through the room; the boy slapped himself across the face.

" what the hell is wrong with you," I gasped as goosebumps formed on my arms.

Shallow pants escaped my lips as a steady headache thumped in my head.

Did I make him do that? Not again. This can't be happening.

"Are you okay you look a little... Oh my Nyx your eyes they just changed colours," Trinity said as confusion etched its way onto her face.

I stood up from my desk knocking my chair to the ground and catching the attention of the rest of my class.

Their foreheads creased as they struggled to see what was causing all the disturbance, but before my teacher could even utter a word, I was already running out of the school.

I heard a knock on my door before a mop of dirty blonde hair poked it's way into my room. Dylan walked in with a stack of my favourite pancakes and a chocolate milkshake. I tried to smile but I knew judging by my brothers grip on the tray that he wasn't so convinced.

"Is there anything you want to tell me Nyx" he asked as he placed the tray of food onto my lap and he sat on the side of my bed.

I sighed, I closed my eyes and between clenched teeth I mumbled, "Ok fine I'll admit it I murdered your plant sculpture. I'M A PLANT MURDERER."

I opened my eyes and was greeted with a pillow to my face. I looked up with a glare but noticed my brother wasn't laughing.

"I don't care about the stupid plant Nyx why did you leave school. Did you, you know do something strange again," he said the last few words quietly as if someone else might hear our words.

I stayed silent and with a nod of his head I knew Dylan understood. He was the only person who knew about my special abilities. He pulled me into his arms and stroked my head whispering that he will help me. That everything will be okay.

I didn't notice that tears were pouring from my eyes until I felt a droplet of water fall onto my hand and I dozed into sleep.


Bright light flickered above me causing me to see shadows of red as it flashed through my closed eyelids.

The sound of people murmuring could be heard above me as I tried to get out from my groggy state and move, but my hands and feet felt bounded. My eyes flashed open and as I struggled to move cold hands with iron grips were digging into my arms and keeping me pressed onto a flat surface.

The people wore white suits and and the potent smell of medicine caused me to thrash under their grip, my heartbeat quickened and tears poured from my eyes.

I was in a room with padded walls and I was strapped down to a hospital gurney. I could see my brother and parents outside the door of the room. My brother and father looked at me through sorrow filled eyes and grimaced every time I yelled.

A man with a big syringe pushed through the crowd of people holding me down and injected me with a foggy substance.

The last thing I saw before I fell into darkness was my mother. She stood there with her cold eyes void of any remorse. I knew at that moment where I was and how my brother decided to help me. He told my parents about what I could do and now here I am. In a mental institution.
