Zenn POV:
I was in the middle of a nightmare of me falling through space, again. There were these loud sounds in the background, I could hear it getting louder, the longer I fell. I finally woke up when the sound seemed closest. It sounded like-
Then I realized what they were- gunshots. I sat up quickly, trying to grasp onto what was going on. I heard a shriek come from the kitchen, "Mum?" I asked. No answer.
I scrambled to the kitchen, stepping through the doorway was like walking into a massacre. Blood everywhere. My eyes swept the room, spotting my mother, father, and brother. The shooter wasn't in sight. I ran up to my brother, shaking him and hoping he would survive.
I wrapped my arms around him and lifted up. My brother was 3 years older than me. He had broad shoulders, hazelnut brown hair, eyes that looked like the ocean. He was the one I looked up to the most, if I lost him today, everything I have worked towards would go to waste.
Hi, im Zenn. Just a regular teen on the planet of Nypheria. But, if you spent not even 2 seconds here, you would know we're far from normal. See here, everyone on Nypheria is born with a special ability. For example, my brother, he can bend water. Or my mum, she can create a cloud with just the snap of her fingers.
And me? Well, I have the ability to communicate. I hear the voices in my head like normal people. But if it's a dark force, my mind closes up and shields it, making a ringing sound in my ear.
And lately, I've been getting it non-stop.
Without my mother, father, and brother, I've been sent to live with Aunt Felicia. The most annoying person on earth. Doesn't even have a useful nor fun ability, she can turn anything she touches pink. TOTALLY USELESS. And let me tell you, she has a problem. Ahem- sorry problems.
Her cats hate me, her house hates me, and she does too. Like, wOmAn I DiD nOtHiNg tO yOu.
I step up to her doorstep, already hearing the irritating sound of hissing cats. I rang the doorbell, "Oh god, i really hope she doesn't answer-" the door opened, revealing a woman in a bright pink robe and slippers. The lady had her obnoxiously large wig on, which frankly didn't even look like hair, and lets just say she has gotten a plastic surgery here and there- oh who am i kidding, she has probably gotten 12.
I opened my mouth to speak, but Felicia cut me off, "Come in, darling, make yourself at home. Dont mind the cats," she said, opening the door further so i could come in. The minute i stepped into that ugly, pink apartment, i knew i would have to put up with many MANY problems.
