After work the next day, Adena walked home in the dark. It was just past midnight, and sure- it was pretty scary, but she didn't care.
It was like everyone was scared of her.
As she passed into the alleyway, she heard a laugh. Adena stopped dead and turned around. 'Get lost!' she yelled, her eyes flashing. She saw the person walk closer. 'Whoa! What the hell are you supposed to be?' he laughed.
Adena snarled. 'Come any closer and I'll kick your ass!' the man came into view, his head was tilted, staring at her through jet black eyes.
Adena sighed. 'I'm not in the mood you freak, now get lost.' She turned around and walked away.
Or tried to.
She was slammed against the wall, no one touching her. 'You freak! Let me go now!' she yelled. The man was looking curiously at her. 'What are you-?' then he gasped, and Adena fell to the floor. 'Oh im so very sorry miss! My mistake!' He pulled Adena to her feet. Adena growled at him. 'What the hell is your problem?' the man flinched. Now that he was close, Adena could see him clearly- jet black hair and eyes. Adena shook of his hand. 'Get out of my sight!' the man didn't move, but asked. 'Are you Adena?'
Adena scowled. 'Who wants to know?' the man shifted uncomfortably. 'Im Ryan miss.' Adena growled again. 'Why do you keep calling me "Miss?"' Ryan shifted his footing. 'I didn't know who you were- forgive me.' Adena frowned now. 'Whats going-?'
The man sighed. 'Im not supposed to be talking to you...' there was a snarl behind, and as if to prove a point, Ryan vanished as another man with identical eyes walked up to her.
'My apologises- those idiots never seem to learn.' He laughed and walked up to her. Adena was ready- for years she'd had this weird gift of being able to make people do what she wanted... and hurt them if she wanted. It scared her- the thing inside of her just burst out, even at trivial things.
Like there was a demon inside of her. Well, that demon reared now, ready to strike the man in front.
'I wouldn't try that- I'm here to talk. That's all.' The man sighed
Adena scowled, not relaxing. She laughed. 'Whatever.' The man sighed again, his short dark brown hair waving in the wind. 'You can do things right? Things that scare you?' Adena froze- how did this thing know that-?
He smiled, eyes flashing. 'We can teach you how to control it.'
Adena raised an eyebrow. 'Why?' she simply asked. The man tilted his head, surveying the girl through curious eyes. 'Do you want to learn?'
Adena frowned- what the-? 'Well sure- I'd like to learn, but-'the man laughed. 'Excellent.' He turned around. 'We'll be seeing you soon.'
He vanished without a trace.
Adena's eyes widened- now she was scared.
She ran home and locked the door behind her, chest heaving.
What was going on?
Things are getting freaky now. Dreams, and now demons offering to show her how to use her powers? Yup. Something very wrong is going on... maybe the seventeen years is up-? Keep reading folks! Having a little trouble thinking of what to write on this, but I'll be ok :) X Nic
