Hidden Away

Prologue

Powers. Something everyone wants but can't get. Well expect for the people who are naturally born with them. To those gifted people it's a nightmare to be stuck with something that could ruin anyone's life with one single gesture or thought of their own mind. Most people want powers just for fun or to show off to others whilst the gifted hide who they truly are.

Me? Far from gifted and I don't want anything to do with it either. My mother was gifted and look how she ended up. Dead. Killed by the secret service who knew the gifted were too powerful to exist. My father always stuck by my mothers side and up until she passed on my 16th birthday we were always in a new place each month to stay under the radar of the secret service. Now we are tucked away in the coldest part of Sweden where we have been since I turned 17. Now at the age of 19 I'm the happiest I've ever been. There weren't many gifted people 'known' in Sweden so it seemed the best place to finally settle down. Dad seems to have finally recovered from mums death which I'm happy for because it was just as sad seeing him depressed and distant as It was loosing my mum, my best friend.

It seems stupid to ask for a simple life because whenever you do something big is bound to happen. Well... I figured that out a little bit too late.
