I didn't boast about my power.
I didn't hurt anybody.
I didn't offend, didn't insult, I didn't even jaywalk!
I tried to be good!
I tried to be normal!
I tried to be.......human.......
but, it didn't matter.
it never matters.
I thought to myself with rage fueling my veins, in place of the blood I'd lost.
the blood I'd willingly shed to protect the only person in any of my lives, that actually cared about me.
blood that I found out, was wasted, as she'd already been long dead.
I realized with horror and indescribable amounts of pain and emotion I'd never felt before, the darkest of depressions, loss, grief, wrath, fear.
abandonment.
I cried, roared, dropped to my knees and slammed my fists into the ground, cracking and bending the solid steel, reinforced flooring.
my tear covered eyes blurrily forcing me to see the lifeless, already decomposing body, of my own mother, of the one woman I'd met across lifetimes who actually loved ME.
who actually cared about who I really was.
I sobbed, inconsolable over the death of the only woman I'd ever call, or would ever call, mom.
"YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SAFE!" I roared as my power flared around my body, its violent crimson red light further breaking and destroying the already burning lab.
"YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE!" I shrieked, my voice breaking as my clamped shut eyes exploded open and enveloped the room in a blinding red light.
"THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT YOU!" I huffed, my entire being brimming with rage, wrath, fury, and most importantly, power.
the power to take the motherfuckers who locked me in here, tortured me, lied to me, and then betrayed me, killing my mother, and one by one, TEARING THEIR FUCKING HEADS OFF!!!
I resolved, surrounded in an aura of crimson death, of promised payback, of brutal, bloody revenge.
those fuckers were going to pay for what they'd done to me in this life, I was going to make sure of it, it was going to be the last mistake they ever made.
of that, I'm sure.
I swore to my very soul as I whipped my head and glared with glowing red eyes, at the last remaining camera, and to it, promised, "I hope you make this fun for me, I'm going to make it last, so do your best to run and hide cause I swear to fucking god, once I get my hands on you, they'll be finding pieces of you across the country for months, and you'll be alive for most of them." my voice echoed, its vibrations distorted with power and pain.
"I'm going to take everything from you, and then, and only then, will I painfully deny you the sweet release of death so that I may continue indulging in your blood curdling, agony filled screams." I warned as I raised my right hand, aimed, and blasted the camera out of existence in the blink of an eye.
