Marauders

Chapter 7: Megaton

By Son of the Specter 992

"Can I help you Butch?"

"Yeah you little freak of a bastard, you can hold still while I beat the shit out of you and your fucking little friends."

I looked around at my Sean and Seth, my only friends in the school, and asked them telepathically what their opinion was. They gave me a thumbs down which was the only response they could.

"Sorry Butch, but counsel has spoken. We say that instead of us bowing to you, you should be bowing to us."

I put out my hand so that my palm was facing Butch. I concentrated on creating a gravitational field around him.

I heard people yelling. "Hey look everyone, Gerald is tormenting Butch again"

I didn't need to look up to know that a crowd was gathering around me, I could read the thoughts of everyone on the playground. I completed the field around Butch and increased the downward force on him ten times. As much as he resisted he couldn't resist the inevitability of him being forced onto his front like a magnet to a refrigerator.

"UNCLE, UNCLE, UNCLE. I GIVE, I GIVE!" I could hear him screaming.

"Sorry Butch, your on the baseball team so you should know, three strikes and you're out. This is the third time that you've bugged us and I'm not showing any mercy."

"Let him go Gerald Morreli!" a voice from nowhere said. I recognized the voice. It was my older sister, Serena.

All of the sudden my gravity field disappeared. Butch got up and ran away.

"Serena, quit using your powers to short mine out." I demanded.

"No Gerry, Aunt Judy told us not to use our powers in school."

"Screw Aunt Judy."

"Do you want to have any friends?"

"I have friends but you've motivated me, I'm out of here but let me warn you Serena with a poem. In flower's day bloom, the smell can't compare, the fragrance in the room, the aroma in the air, twas the prettiest flower from what I can tell, but then it crossed god, and it went to hell."

I turned to leave. "Sean, Seth, you guys coming?"

They followed me to the back alley of the school.

Sean spoke up first. "You never told us that your sister had powers too."

"Yeah," I answered, "she can put a mental lock on another person's powers. She uses them to keep me in check."

Ding-Dong, the bell rang signaling the start of class.

"Come on Seth, class is starting. Are you coming Gerry?"

"Nah, I'll catch up with you later."

"You're not going up to the roof again, are you?"

"You got it."

"Oh come on Gerry, your parents are dead and standing on the roof contemplating suicide is not going to bring them back. Lets go Seth. I think that he needs to be alone."

Sean and Seth left me alone. I climbed up the fire escape to the roof and stood there on the edge looking at my right arm.

I looked up at the sky. "Mom, dad, why did you have to leave me? I feel so empty but I can't kill myself or else Serena would feel this way." I looked back at my arm. It had so many deep scars from when I cut myself. A tear rolled down my cheek. "WHY? WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LEAVE ME AND SERENA!" I yelled to the heavens in hopes that they would hear me and respond.
