Orphanage
My head hurts like hell. I sit up quickly and regret it just as fast as I sit up, I hit my head hard then I see some girl run over,“Oh my goodness are you okay”?! “Yeah”, I say rubbing my head slowly, “Where am I”? “An Orphanage, I need to take you to Mrs Mayhorse, the owner of this hell hole, Eh what’s your name?” She says. “Storm, what is your name?” “Jessica”, she says smiling. Jessica what a different name.
Hello Mrs Mayhorse, “I’m Storm it is nice to meet you”, “Yeah yeah we found you in a burnt down building the cops want to know if you remember anything?” I turn and to no surprise there is a cop standing there. “No I don’t remember anything”, I say scratching my head, “There has to be something”, said the obviously annoyed cop. Later that night I got very annoyed at (one of, I presume, Jessica’s friends,) because she was sitting with her when I came over to the table. I smashed the table right in half! All I did was lightly hit my fist on it, How am I this strong? I just lightly hit the damn thing, “I-I I’m sorry”, I say as I rushed outside.
“How the hell did I do that?” I say to myself trembling
“Storm”!, I hear Jessica yelling
“go away”! I shout
“how did you do that”?
“I don’t know okay”?
“Well Mrs Mayhorse is going to kill you when she finds out you snapped a table In half”!
“Well did you see how I just lightly hit my fist on the damn thing”! I say angrily
“just try to make some excuse or she is going to kill you”
I start to feel a burning feeling in my hands but I dismiss it. “i’m sorry i thought we were friends!I just got angry when she called me ugly!"
I stand up quickly,even though the burning got worse
“can’t you just be nice, I don’t know anything I don’t know my family I can’t remember anything from before I came here, nothing!”
I shout and then I blacked out, the burning in my hands was intense. I wake up slowly, “what happened?” everyone is standing around me, “you passed out” Mrs Mayhorse says, “but I need to talk to you privately.” “What happened?”I ask not realy wanting to know the answer, “right as you passed out I walked out and you had a black mist coming out of your hands and it almost killed Jessica and me!” “Wait what if the other kids find out”?!, “I made a good cover story” she says pissed“i’m sorry, you can kick me out if that’s what needs to be done”, I say trembling, “No no i’ll let you stay but if it happens again you’ll have to leave” “okay”, I say knowing deep down that it will happen again.
Wake up storm you’ll be late for school. I wake up slowly, and yet that voice was right, I get ready fast and get to school on time, great i’m the new kid with no friends and I look like i’m going to kill everyone with this scar on my face, That scar means something, that damn voice, i need to know what happened yesterday and who this voice is. Amazing sitting alone, “Storm… I’m sorry” I look up, its Jessica!, “oh it’s fine”, i say hiding my happiness, “lonely eh?”
“yeah.. kinda thanks for sitting with me I guess”
“and I’m sorry I was a brat”
“No! I was just blowing of steam and I shouldn’t have done that to you” I say still sounding like I don’t actually care
“I know that’s why I shouldn’t have been a brat”
"but you weren’t being a brat", “its okay we are still friends right?”, I say sounding unsure
“Yeah of course."
Leave class just go and leave crying. What the hell I’m not doing that, people will think I’m weird, I think to “myself”, The girls at the orphanage already think your weird, “damn i have a rude voice in my head.”
Once I got to the orphanage I just wanted to go to bed but of course I have a math test next week so I need to study. “What are you doing?” one of the girls from the orphanage says, “homework what does it look like” I say annoyed
“damn, well I’m Faith, you are Storm am i right?”
“ yeah, the weird one that’s me”
“haha, I think you’re cool actually”
“no really, i’m just some girl that almost killed a girl because I was mad and got in no trouble”
“yeah how did you not get in trouble? Mrs Mayhorse is so over dramatic”
“I’m not sure, I think she just likes me!” I say like a brat, “sorry that was rude but honestly I have no idea”
“Well do you need help, I had this test last week”
“Erm yeah sure that would be nice.”
I get my math test back and I passed, barley but I passed. You could’ve done better, find your strength, suddenly I felt that burning feeling again, “oh god i can’t hurt anyone again” I left the orphanage and ran to the forest that was just behind the place, the burning was horrible but I continued to run till I found an open spot. I cried as I felt the pain of the burn grow stronger and stronger then I opened my eyes to see a purple fire wrapping around my hands with a black smoke, it suddenly stopped and I felt weak, weaker than I have ever felt, but I was in the most unbearable pain that I just collapsed. I was awake but I couldn’t move or feel anything, anything but pain, then I closed my eyes, You’re stronger than this, get up stop being weak. I didn’t want to be weak so I jumped up and ignored the pain felt, I stood up and tried to do it again, this time i felt nothing but pain, I didn’t cry, i couldn’t cry, I just felt the fire and felt it grow and the pain that came with it, then I heard my name and it all stopped, the pain, the fire, the smoke, I fell to the ground and just sat there, “Storm”,”Jessica says
"yeah?”I say
“Are you okay? You left randomly”
”oh i’m fine I just needed air”
“okay well are you enjoying the air?”,she says sitting down, “yeah”I laugh,
we sit in silence for a minute, then I feel the burning again but I can’t just tell Jessica to leave.
