I waved my hand and he fell to the floor choking and shaking. He was gasping for air. I realized that I was gripping my fist tightly. I loosen up and he charged a second time. I waved my hand and he was flung towards the trees. Then hunger pangs hit me so I imagined a pretzel. He started twisting himself like he was a pretzel. I told him to tell me everything and he told me to go lay an egg. I told him that I am not a chicken. He started writhing in pain. Finally he couldn't take it anymore and blurted out, "You are the dark one. On your birthday exactly seventeen years ago a dark entity came to burn this town to the ground. The locals defeated it but a dark energy came out of it. The locals followed it to the hospital. The dark energy swirled around before it entered your body. Your body dissolved into a black pool for a few minutes. Then the liquid evaporated leaving you behind. Before you were screaming in fear after the liquid evaporated you began laughing. Everyone knew that you would grow up to harm this town. Which is why you are not allowed to leave. You are not allowed to know. If you knew your identity you will learn your gifts. Then you will be a real threat. That is why everyone hates you and that is why everyone avoids you. If you leave you will come back with friends as the monster warned with his last breath."
I asked him why he befriended me? Also why is he assaulting me? He retorted that he wanted to know if I had trained to use my abilities or not. He assaulted me because he felt that the gifts were wasted on me. He believes that he can do better. There are those who have similar ideas and they are waiting for the right moment to attack. I thanked him and imagined him forgetting this interaction. His glazed over and he blinked a few times before he asked me why he was here and why his arms are aching. I said that he tried to practice a stunt to impress Sadie that head cheerleader but it went horribly wrong. I took his phone and called the hospital. The woman on the other end said that she will send an ambulance to take him to the hospital. It will take a while since there has been a fire and the police are out looking for someone. The locals are getting anxious. Some are calling for a search party. I thanked her and hung up. As he turned to look away. I wished I was in my bedroom and the forest around me distorted and contorted. The light dimmed slightly and I was back in my room. There was a banging on the door and I opened it casually as a woman was yelling that Tristan was out in the forest with me. I opened the door and the sheriff asked me where Tristan was. I said that he dropped me home and said that he is going home too. He is welcome to search the house if he doesn't believe me. The woman yelled to search the premises. He took a step in my way and his radio crackled to say that Tristan was found walking out of the forest. He said that he was just tired from practicing for the football team. The sheriff walked away and I wished him goodnight and he grunted as the woman gave me the death stare. I gave her a frosty look and she walked towards her car. I wished the tyres would deflate as she drives away. Sure enough it started deflating quietly till the tyres were groaning as they went over the gravel. I shut the door and went to search the house for food.
