A/N: This is my first published fan fic, so I would really appreciate it if you would please R & R! I am going to try to upload a new chapter every week, but I can't always guarantee because life can and does get in the way sometimes. But, all of that being said, I really hope you guys enjoy this!
Sister Agnes was doing her nightly prayers when, suddenly, bright white lights appeared out of nowhere. Stunned and wondering what she just saw, she stares and asks, "Can I help you?"
Patty steps forward, eyes full of the deepest sorrow and arms carrying two sleeping babies. "Please. We need to put them up for adoption with good families. They are in far too much danger to be able to stay with us." Her voice breaks and the tears begin to flow with the last statement. "Please. We don't have a choice. They need to be protected."
Sister Agnes nods. "Yes. Of course," as she reaches out to take two of the most beautiful little girls she's ever seen. They look just like angels. More so than any other innocent, new life. "Oh. My. They are so beautiful."
Patty nods, the tears not stopping and Sam crying just as hard behind her. "They really are. That's why we must do this. Please. Make sure they stay safe. And, if you can, could you please make sure their names start with a 'P'? That way they have just a little bit more of us." She's sobbing now.
"Anything, ma'am. Of course. For four beautiful angels, anything."
I hate this world and everyone in it. Especially those so-called "nice" people. They're the worst. They never actually do something nice to be nice. There's always an ulterior motive with them.
It's one of those people I'm hunting right now. I've been hunting these people down for the last few years. Ever since I found out I was a witch. I don't have to deal with their nonsense anymore. I am finally free and able to make them feel the pain they inflict upon others.
I finally see him walking down the sidewalk. He's alone this time. Good. I follow just barely behind him, hiding in the shadows. He doesn't even realize I've been watching him for days now. His phone rings and he stops just off a beaten alleyway with nothing in it but a couple of dumpsters and a cat prowling in the corner to answer it. Excellent. It's all going to plan and it's finally almost time to strike.
I listen in as he talks on the phone. Sounds like he's at it again with another one. Well, I'm not going to allow that to happen. Not again. He finally hangs up and I know it's time to move.
"Long time no see, Jerry" I say as I step from the depths of darkness. I see he doesn't even remember who I am. Doesn't even look like he cares. That makes me even angrier.
"Excuse me," he says as he tries to walk around me, but I move to block his path.
"I don't think so," I respond as I summon a gust of air and throw him against the fence at the end of the alley. Now I can finally see the fear starting to show.
"Who are you?" he asks me. "Oh, so you don't remember then?" I respond with barely masked fury. "I guess it doesn't really matter. It won't change the here and now and what's going to happen for everything you've ever done to me and everyone else!" I then summon fire from my right hand and throw it towards his hands, one resting against his knee and the other holding him up from the ground. Those despicable hands. Those bringers of pain. Well, I can bring my own pain now. He screams in pain as I aim towards the one holding him up.
I feed more of my fury into the fire I've summoned and it begins to spread upwards towards his shoulder. I can smell burned flesh now. I stop the stream of flame from my right hand and summon a stream of water from my left hand to douse the fire. Smoke rises from him and he's groaning now. This is going to be fun.
I step forward and crouch down to look him straight in the face. The moonlight glaces off my features and now I can see he knows me. "See? I told you," I say as his face changes to pure terror. I summon another gust of air and throw him to the corner with one hand and summon another stream of fire from the other. He's screaming again. Right now I'm glad he walks around all these deserted areas. Nobody around to hear this. His whole body is now on fire and the smell of his flesh is getting nauseating. I summon some more water to douse the flames again.
"So, you see, I can hurt you so much more than you can hurt me now. And the fun thing is, I can do it over and over again. At least until I get bored, that is. And I can hide your body so well, they'll never be able to find you. Maybe you should have stopped to think about what you were doing. Stopped to think that what was giving YOU pleasure was hurting someone else and that it might someday come to bite you in the ass. But, I'm sure you see the problem in my statement as clearly as I do. All of that would have meant you would actually have had to think, and we both know that that is too difficult for you do. And you know what? That's okay. Because that's the thing about karma. It always comes back to bite you in the ass!" I scream as I summon yet another gust of air and fling him up against the fence again, this time holding him there for my entire speech. I must admit, I do get tired of reciting it. They'll never learn. That's why I always finish what I start.
"Please," he says. "Please." "Nope," I respond with venom dripping with every word. "You wouldn't stop for me. You wouldn't stop for the others. So, why should I?" I summon my third and final wave of fire against him. This time, I'm not stopping. I feed everything into this and the screams soon stop. I finally let go of the wind I was using to hold him up there and the fire wave I used to make him finally stop and his body plumps to the ground. I don't know why I never feel much relief at the end of one of my pay-backs. Sure, I feel better for a little bit, but the pain never stops.
I shake that thought out of my head as I take a deep breath and spread my hands out wide and a giant hole appears in front of me where the body was. He's finally gone and swallowed up by the earth to be cleansed away. I bring my hands closer together and the hole closes as it it never was. Another one down.
"Hey!" I hear a woman yelling from behind. I turn around and see three women approaching me. I don't know why, but my heart starts beating faster.
"Can I help you?" I ask them as they get even closer to me. Funny, they look like sisters. And they kind of look like me. One, especially.
They finally stop their approach about 5 feet away from me. They look poised for battle. And they don't seem happy about it. "We saw what you just did. What the hell are you thinking!?" The one on the right screams at me. I don't know why we look so much alike. It doesn't make sense. My defenses at full alert, I respond, "What's it to you what I'm doing? I didn't do it to you. In fact, I probably just saved your ass!"
They all look taken aback. What is going on here? "Listen," the one on the right says, "We came here to help you. Obviously we didn't know how much help you needed! Just please stop and hear what we have to say."
Seriously? The whole nice person, just listen to me routine? How many times to go I have to go through this bullshit!? "No, YOU listen, lady! I don't need your help! I don't need anybody! I can take care of myself! If you saw what I did, then you should obviously know that! Why don't you just back off and leave me the hell alone!"
They all look at each other. I know that this isn't going to end well for them. The one in the middle finally says, "Look, we haven't spent all this time and effort trying to find you to have you talk to us like that and to keep doing what you're doing. You need us, you just don't know it yet. We are not leaving here without you!" as she raises her hands like she's going to do something with them. I hear a loud boom behind me as the dumpster explodes. "Now that is just a warning. You need to cool it before we get serious."
I give her a deep look of fury. She obviously doesn't know who the hell she is dealing with. And I always get serious. "Oh yeah? Well. Tough shit!" I say as I summon a huge gust of air and throw them against the walls. I run for it and use the air behind me and the earth before me to speed my retreat. I don't have a beef with them. Not yet anyway. I have more work to do. As I escape, I hear one of them screaming at me to stop. I ignore them. At least until her last sentence as I speed away. "We're your sisters!" I know that can't be. I'm an only child. I don't have parents. They're surely lying to slow me down again. I keep going.
I keep running until I finally make it home. It sure ain't much, but it keeps me safe. What a mess this night turned out to be. A simple night of revenge ruined by three meddlesome women who tried to make me believe I have a family. I don't have a famly anymore. They're all gone. I slide down the wall and sit on the floor. The tears are coming. Not again. I can't stand crying. Tears never fix anything. Then the memories start falling over me like a summer downpour...
