I walked into the bathroom, bleary eyed from sleep, to a horrifying sight. Quest, my older brother, was bleeding through his eyes and mouth.

"Embryl go back to sleep" he said.

"How many seals have you broken?" I sighed sitting beside him

"Two" he croaked. "I didn't know how bad it would be" he said

Me, Quest, and our four friends Taylor and Amir, Dacron, and Crystal were used as test subjects when I was four. They gave us special gifts, like reading minds and seeing into the future. There was also things called seals, they used our powers to the extent but destroyed our bodies. Dacron had bled for three days straight because he had broken four seals.

I handed Quest a wet towel so he could clean his face.

"Embryl, I saw her" Quest smiled.

"Emily?" I asked taking the blood soaked towel.

Emily was Quest's old girlfriend; she died from a disease that ate her inside out. Nobody knew what it was but, it destroyed Quest because every time he saw her he knew she was getting worse, and he knew that he could do nothing about it.

Quest stared out dreamily and sighed "yea" he said "and if I just press forward a little more I could-"

"No" I said plainly

He looked at me surprised "excuse me"

I looked into his eyes that held the power to see and control spirits and repeated myself

"No"

He stood up towering over me a 5 feet 10 "you speak as if u could beat me"

"I can-"

"But you won't!" he growled "you're afraid to use your power let alone break a seal"

"Afraid!" I screamed "you want to see me use my powers!"

I looked into the sky and I felt the power of a million souls endow me with power. I grabbed Quest and went deep into the crevasses of his mind and pulled out his deepest fear, death before me. And I began to send horrifying visions through his head

"Embryl enough!" Quest yelled stranded on the ground

I heard something pop in my ears and blood began to run down my face, I had broken my first seal. I looked around and saw the room swarming with legions of demons. I released my grip on Quests mind and fell to the ground in agony.

"That was my fault" I whispered. "I couldn't control it I-I'm weak I'm-"

"Stop" Quest bellowed, "Listen to yourself, you think I actually let you invade my mind?"

He wiped my nose where the blood was running and I smiled

"Bro, that has blood that came from your mouth and eyes"

He ruffled my hair

"Deal with it"

I sat on the toilet and we were both quiet for a moment

"Quest" I asked "do you think we'll ever be normal?"

He leaned against the wall "we can only hope kiddo,"
