Raphael's POV

Here we go again. More people wanting to know who I am.
Anyhow... my name is Raphael Miranda. I am sixteen years old, and I have been going back and forth living with a foster family since I was six.
I am probably the biggest outcast and nobody you will ever have the chance of meeting. I have platinum white hair, I don't die it. I just grew up and have always lived with white hair. It's a bigger mystery to me than to anyone around me. They just assume I die it.
I have to wear a dog like collar around my neck and wrists. I'll admit I love wearing them, but I literally have too. When I was eight. I came across a very bad foster family. They chained me in cuffs in there basement. So I have scars on my neck and wrists, so I wear dog type collars. Hides them pretty well. Some were from the cuffs they made me wear, some were from attempted suicide. Either way my life is stupid and meaningless.
I always wear a flannel or some type of oversized hoodie over a long sleeved shirt. Scars are a pain in the butt to hide.
So today is where my story begins. I put my hoops on, my collar, my fishnets, my falling in reverse t-shirt, and my jeans on. I put my earbuds through the loop of my collar and put my converse on.
      I grabbed my skateboard and headed out of my room. My foster family were huddled over there phones and drinking coffee. "Have fun at school Raphael." I rolled my eyes. They were nice people Kathy and Jim were. But they treated me like I didn't exist. "Bye." I slammed the door behind me and skated to school.
    It was only a couple of blocks away so it took me fifteen minutes to get to school. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and began my school playlist. I walked down the hall to my locker. I grabbed my binder and pencils out of my backpack and threw my board in there.
       I got odd looks as I walked down the halls.
I always did though so nothing new there. I walked into class, I sat in the last row, middle seat. I turned my music all the way up. I don't pay attention. Not worth learning about Greek mythology, it's all fake anyways. I started drawing in my notebook. More symbols I never understand, it looked like Greek. I'm not sure. I don't exactly study.
       My classmate Cody tapped me on the shoulder. I looked up at the board. Three people were standing up there next to Mrs. Michaels. A police officer, a middle aged paralyzed guy and a scrawny kid wearing all black. "Would you please go with them Raphael?" Mrs. Michaels asked. "I'm telling you all now, I didn't do anything." I walked out of the classroom.
         I fixed my collar, the officer was really hot. He couldn't be much older than me. Maybe 23, or 24. I fixed my beanie. I leaned up against the lockers outside. "I told you I didn't do it. Can I go back to class now?" I asked rolling my eyes.
      "You weren't paying attention anyways. So no," the cop said. He moved forward about to pull my earbuds out. I grabbed his hand and smashed his face into the lockers. "Touch me you'll have a broken hand," I walked down the hall away from the people. "Come back here Raphael." I laughed as I walked towards my locker. I unlocked it grabbed my pack and my skateboard.
     I opened the door to the school and started skating down the steps. I was already off of school property when a pair of hands grabbed me and pushed me against a tree. "What the hell is wrong with you?! Let go of me!" I yelled.

"Nope. Long time no see Raph," the cop said.

  Only one person has ever called me Raph. I haven't seen him in a decade. My old friend Luke. I met him in a alley one day. I was running from the cops. I was eight maybe. He was the only one that understood me. "L-Luke?" He smirked. That smirk, it was him.
    "Will you come with us now?" I shook my head. "I can't. I can't just pack up and leave. I have a family. Now excuse me." I pushed out of his grip and continued skating down the street.
    "Raph!" He yelled after me. I hopped off of my board and ran the rest of the way. What the hell was happening? I ran up the deck of my house. "Hey Raphael. One of your buddies from school wanted to drop your stuff off." I got scared. I didn't have any friends. I ran to my room. There was the emo kid from earlier.
      "Just leave me alone! Get out of my room, or I'll drop kick your ass," I said. "My name is Nico. I just want to talk. Now, let me talk." I laughed and threw my skateboard on the floor next to my bed. I threw off my hat. "Leave," I said again.
       "Nope. I just want to talk. Like I said my name is Nico. I'm from a camp. We help kids. I don't want to say troubled or neglected. But your a Demi-god," he said. I raised a eyebrow. "Leave me alone. Just leave, I don't care about any camp or you... just please leave my room!" I yelled. He stood up. A pair of arms grabbed me from behind, something got shot into my leg and I started to get dizzy.
     I collapsed to the ground. I wasn't passed out, my body was just paralyzed I guess. That wasn't good, if I couldn't feel my muscles then... a pair of arms picked me up. My wings popped out and I fell to the ground. "Leave.. me alone," I said barely getting up. I flipped my wings a couple of times. I tucked them back in.
      Luke and that Nico kid looked surprised. "If I come with you to your concentration camp will you leave me alone?!" I yelled. Luke gently nodded his head. I grabbed my duffle and a couple of smaller things, like my contact case.
       I wrapped my duffle around my arm and grabbed my skateboard. I walked out of my room. The guys behind me. "Kathy Jim I'll be back!" I yelled. "Bye Raphael!!" Jim yelled. Surprised they even answered.
     I walked out the front door. A van was waiting out front. I put my earbuds back in. I didn't want to talk. I scooted over in the van and looked out the window, I paced my head on the window ledge and I ended up falling asleep.
          ______________________
I was in a dark cavern maybe a cave of some sort. A eery voice was calling my name. "Raphael. You can't trust them. Join me in my ride to the top. We can restructure humanity together! Host my spirit! You'd be the strongest woman in the universe!" The male voice yelled at me. I had the strangest feeling that he wasn't human. Not at all. I didn't want power, I just wanted to be left alone! The ground underneath me started to shake. I trembled and I felt my body being suspended in the air. My vision turned gold.
              "Welcome to the resistance."

I shot up. What the heck was that. Wait where was I. I was laying in a bed. I looked around the room. It was all black with all black furnishings.
        I cracked my neck and sat up. I had a splitting headache. I looked around for my collars but they weren't anywhere near where I was. I fixed my hair and pulled down my flannel so the couldn't see the marks. Someone had taken my shoes off, along with my earrings and my hat. I grabbed my hat from the small table across the room.
      All my stuff was inside, my collars, my earrings, my pentagram necklaces, my chain. All of the important stuff. My duffle was next to it. I grabbed my phone out of it and plugged my earbuds in. I hit the shuffle button and I pulled my hair back into a pony tail and reapplied my collars and my earrings. I put my chain on and my necklace. I retired my shoes and opened the door.
         There was a larger room. It had a tv, a small decent kitchen, a living area, and a bathroom. There was also two other bedrooms. A young brown skinned brown haired woman watching tv. She was gorgeous, no doubt.
     She turned to me.

"Oh your up. Hi I'm Hazel. Welcome to camp,"
