My lovely parents are dead because of me. No, that's not possible, I can't be the reason that my parents died. Then why did they always violently cough whenever I was around? Why did they convulse suddenly whenever I touched them? Gosh dang it, they were the only people who cared about me, why would I kill them?? How can I figure out what took them away from this cruel world?! Just then, all the pretty little birds were looking at me funny, so I hypnotized them dead. Ha, that's what they get for judging me!
I have been doing this shouting for weeks now. Although, except for that, I would say that I am oddly calm considering that my foster parents died a month ago. Normally people would cry about this thing, but I was over it. I knew that I was destined to cause harm to whoever was near me. So what, it's not my fault that I am like this, blame my oh so, caring blood parents, Hera and Posiden. They were the ones who tortured and abandoned me after all. Ugh, time to go to bed, I have definitely been doing too much thinking.
After I woke up, I went straight to the market, since breakfast is for losers. On the way, people were gawking at me like usual, what have you never seen such a beautiful creature in your life? I always ignore those dwarfs, but today they seemed extra feisty, gossiping about their plans on how to kill me. I can't handle it anymore, when they weren't looking I just gave them the old one-two squirt in the face, hilarious. Then I went on my jolly way getting all my groceries, which included random people shouting "Devil's child!" to my face. I wish they could shut their ugly mouths up and stick their pig noses to you-know-where!
I went back home very grumpy, thinking to myself how much I really hate this world. I can't just seem to fit in anywhere, why would they kill somebody who just lost their parents!? Oh gosh, I feel Posiden's anger festering in me again, ha, my real dad who was never there for is making me feel so powerful. Dear Zeus, I have had enough, before they kill me, I am going to kill them! Yes, that's exactly what I will do, after all that's what they deserve for killing my parents! They ruined my entire life from the very start. This nightfall I will start my plan and destroy everything. For injustice against my parents, myself, and heck even those judgy birds!
As the moon comes up, I go out in the village very quietly, planning to set fire to everything around me. However, there was already a group of 50 or so people with evil intent in their eyes, and pitchforks that glinted like the silver moon in their hands. How ironic they call me the devil's child, but here they are acting like Hera herself. I will show them the true extent of my power.
While the people charge towards their worst nightmare, my feet blast me towards the sparkly night sky. Way above anything those measles could reach with their cute pitchforks. Then I spray as much water as I can out of my hands all across the crowd of people. The water easily goes up to their heads by the help of the forest and buildings. Later, they start swimming, like a frantic pile of lame fish. At that point, I exert something I have never seen before, a cloud of vile velvet mist seeps out of my pores. As panic engulfs me, the mist goes into the foaming water, as a snake slithering towards their prey. Then one by one the people sink to the bottom, like dead flies, and endless blood starts to spill. I have murdered everybody just like I wanted.
I got my revenge, so why am I not happy? I don't feel happiness at all, I feel empty, exactly what I felt when my parents died. I thought that after I had killed those fools, my mind would be in utter peace, but oddly enough I feel as if I am more disarray. Even though those people have done me wrong, I have done something to them to the point where they can never return. For the first time in my life, I thought to myself, I must be the embodiment of pure evil. Oh no, what have I done?
I never wanted to be like this, sure I am a trouble-maker, but this is way beyond than simple pranks. I have become a villain, a true villain, at what cost? For justice, for my sanity, or for just simple disdain. I didn't know anymore, my mind started to spin and my head hurt, then that weird purple mist came out again. No, not again, go away, you only remind me of my insanity. Tears started to fall from eyes like raindrops, as I whispered to myself that my kind parents never wanted me to be like this. I stumble to the ground in pain, which makes the earth beneath me quake. Then realization suddenly hits me, this poisonous gas in my body has killed my only family. Nobody else killed them, I did, only me. I have murdered everybody in my life, just like what I am destined to do ever since I was born. I curl up against my helpless body and cry myself to sleep, thinking that I am doomed.
I guess this is how I find out what ended the life of my caregivers, myself.
