"And being different? That turned out to be the best part of all. I found that with a little creativity, and a lot of dedication, any difference can be turned into something amazing. Our differences are our superpowers."
― Cece Bell, El Deafo
(:D the latter chapters are better so give it a chance plz guys :) IT'S DONE!
I suddely realized, I had wasted 5 years of my life, blaming myself over and over again for all my failures. I turned my back on the world when I should have gone back up stronger. This is my journey, towards my better self, In this city every one is capable of evolving superpowers if the desire to change is strong enough. I will change, I owe it to all the people I let down, I owe it to myself. The villans aren't stopping and neither should I
Excerpt from Chapter 17:
Stop there or we shoot!"
This was the moment, I can't prolong it anymore. I feel the dragon calling, pleading to get out... I let it out.
In an instant my body morphs before their eyes, they gasp and awe, Not for long at least, I burn them into a crisp, Lexy watches horrified, I turn to her, thinking whether or not I should do the same,she deserves it, for all she's done.
"Please, Dra- Oscar I know I haven't been all that nice to you, but please consider! I-I I'll be your slave."
The dragon was about to say yes and take her away ,But, I stopped myself.
"No, you've chosen this path, and here is were it ends"
With that, I blast the wall beside her and fly outside. Now. Where is Fire?
It's not worth it anymore. The fighting, the hurt, the beatings. It was never going to be worth it. But for love...well love makes you stupid. And I loved him with all my heart.
I met the real man who would save me. Like how Bell was saved from Gaston. Except she lived the high life and didn't fear for her existence after her first encounter.
After my first encounter with Axel, and a dreamy one-night stand. The only option for me was to stay away from him and keep to Marcus.
But Marcus is destroying me.

"Don't you dare tell me how easy it is to leave and abusive relationship when you've never been in one, Axel!" Tears poured down my cheeks and all I wanted to do in that moment was crawl into the same hole I should never have crawled out from and die.
"And I was heartbroken, and scared and anxious. I was worried and I felt weak, and I had no idea how I was ever going to come up with the strength. But I just closed my eyes and took a blind leap. I found you, Cordilia and I'll be dammed if I let that asshole take you away from me."
