The Kids With An Ability. (Part One)
The Kids With An Ability.
So everyone has their secrets right? Some people are gay, have crushes, steal,have guilty pleasures,eat weird food etc… Well mines worse than those. I have super powers. I know haha im crazy, but it's true i can move shit with my mind. Kinda like the movie Matilda or the TV show stranger Things, but less dramatic. You always watch those movies and as soon as the characters tell someone shit goes down hill. So i haven't told anyone. I've just turned 18, I got kicked out at 16 so it's not that hard to hide. I don't really use my ability that often. There's nothing to use it for, other than to get stuff off a high shelf but other than that. I read online that the more you use an ability the better it gets. So here goes nothing. I stood in my living room and stared at my couch and expected it to move. Nothing. I looked at a glass of water and it moved. Maybe it's too heavy I thought. I stared at the couch and decided to take all the cushions off to make it lighter. I stepped back and looked at it again and it moved. “Aha!” I said congratulating myself. Then someone aggressively knocked on the door. I opened the door and was pushed to the ground by 2 muscly men then a woman came in. “Mariah Adams” she said “How do you know my name” I said trying to get up and the men pushed me back to the floor. “I know what you are Ms. Adams” she said walking around my house. “I'm just like everyone else I don't know what youre talking about.” “But you're not, are you? We know about the powers and we know what you plan to do with them.” She got closer, what was she talking about? I had no plans for them. “I dont understa-” “Dont play dumb with me! We know that your kind is trying to destroy us so before you kill us we're going to kill you” she said pulling a knife out of her back pocket “Wow wow wow, hang on a minute you don't want to kill me I haven't done anything to you.” I was going to make a run for it but the men were now holding my arms back. I tried to get the men off of me. “They are far too heavy for your powers sweety” she said, putting the knife to my throat. I kicked her in the stomach and she fell. I stared at all the knives in the kitchen and they all surrounded the men.
The men slowly let go of my arms, I ran opening the door and I ran for miles. Thinking of what she said people like them, they looked normal to me and if they had abilities they would have used them on me when they came in. I continued running until I was in a random part of town where the gang hung out. I stopped running and bent down for a break to catch my breath. A woman from out of nowhere appeared in front of me, she was about 30. “Mariah Adams” I looked up hoping it wasn't the lady from earlier. “I need you to come with me” she said reaching out “I don't know you, how do I know you're not going to hurt me?” I said backing up “Look into your heart, do I look like I'm going to hurt you?” I really had no choice but to go, i couldn't go back to my house because they could be waiting for me. I grabbed her hand and in a split second we were somewhere else “What the fuck?” I said confused looking around. “Teleportation, that's my ability. You have psychokinesis right?” I nodded we were in an old dusty Church. It was an old fashioned one, the walls were all brick and there was dust and holes in the walls. “Where am I?” I said following her to the back room. “Here is a safe place I guess you could call it. The kids here are in your situation, they can't go back to their home so they're here.” “What if I don't want to stay here?” I said, sitting at a table at the kitchen. “Look Mariah, those people that are after you theyre not going to stop until they kill you. When you turn 18 you have the ability to be way stronger than you've ever been. And they're afraid, you can walk out those doors anytime but just know as soon as you do your life is in danger.” This is exactly what I was afraid of. People are finding out my ability and now I'm going to have to live in an abandoned church. “Come I want to introduce you to the rest of the kids.”
I followed her through the hallway and she opened one of the doors. The room had a bed, a desk and an entire corner of CD’s and records. A boy about my age was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and headphones on. The lady hit his foot and he sat up. “This is Mariah, she's going to be staying here now” “cool” he said and put his headphones back on. She grabbed the headphones and aggressively said “Tell her a little bit about yourself.” He sighed and said “I'm 19 ive been here for 5 years, and I can control people's minds. Are we done?”
“That was really welcoming Brandon” she said rolling her eyes as we left the room. She walked me to the next room and opened the door. There were dolls, a bed, glitter, stuffed animals etc… A little girl walked up to me “You must be Mariah” she said shaking my hand. “I'm Daphne, I'm 8, and I'm a soothsayer. So basically I knew you...
