I'm Just Your Problem
Why is it just me?
Diary, why is Gwen such a perfect little snowflake? Why can't she just do one thing wrong? Is it just the curse I live with or does this affect everyone around me?
I injured her with my magic. I had caused her severe pain and I felt bad. I wished I never got angry at her. I went to visit her at the hospital when I ran into her parents. They were furious at what I did to her. Feeling bad, I ran out. I never did get to apologize.
It's bad enough she's the better magic user than I am, but do people even see that I have magic too? I may not use it as good as she does, but I can fight with it too. I have a whole arsenal of magic properties I've obtained from all the Omnitrix aliens. So why am I not good enough for them?
Maybe I should leave...then I can't harm anyone or cause any more problems.
Jen looked at the horizon above her. On her back, her backpack slung over her shoulder. In her hands, her journal glowed in the dark. She stopped, gazing at the town below her. This was it, no turning back now.
"Goodbye BellWood, I've cause enough problems as it was. I hope you love a Jen Tennyson free environment." I closed my eyes, tears spilling out like a flowing river. Sniffling, I started my journey away from the town into the great unknown.
"Jen are you in here?"
Gwen pushed the door open to her cousin's bedroom along with Kevin. She was a little bandaged up and barely healed up, but she worried about her cousin. The two looked around the room in mild confusion.
"Um...where is she?" Kevin asked, sitting on her bed. "Not even her journal is here."
Gwen covered her mouth. "I hope she doesn't feel too bad after what happened to me." She shook her head. "Oh God, you don't think she ran away do you?"
"I hope not, it's hard to track her anyway." Kevin shrugged as Gwen glared at him. "I'm just kidding!"
"This is serious Kevin! She could use her powers by accident and hurt someone else." She grabbed him by the hands and started to drag him out the door. "We have to find her! I couldn't live with myself if I found her hurt or worse!"
Jen watched the horizon turn bright orange as she walked through the wild thickets of the woods. The smell of grass, mold, and other substances filled her nose. The shades of green reflected off the crystal blue waters of the lake in front of her and the sunlight casted its rays over the tall trees. Her backpack was slung over her shoulder, her rations locked up tight within them. Placing it down, she stretched her arms to the sky and gave a great sigh.
Great...now I'm away from anybody I know and finally gotten the freedom to train. She closed her eyes in concentration. I need to learn how to use these powers that were bestowed upon me. I'm not like Gwen, I have to go all out to understand how these powers work.
So that's what she did. Using the surrounding forest, she trained with every single one of the alien powers she'd received. Through training, she unlocked a couple more powers as well. Now she could freeze things with the power of the Polar Manzardill, fly using Aerophibian aerial powers, and have the strength of a Vaxasaurian. She was really getting the hang of these newfound powers, almost taking out most of the forest with it.
"Okay one more time!" She smiled as she combined the powers of Heatblast with that of Artiguana(The name she came up for the Polar Manzardill). A fiery/icy tornado shot from both her hands, melting and freezing the rock in front of her. Then using XLR8's speed, she ran towards it and gave it a Four Arms worthy smash. The pebbles flew around the place, shooting like tiny bullets.
She wiped the sweat from her brow and sat down. Leaning over the lake, she took gulps of water in her mouth to cool down.
"That's enough for today, now I need to add more entries in my journal." She said to herself, taking out her other book. This book was black and white with the Omnitrix symbol emblazoned on the front. A small lock was on the sides and pieces of paper stuck out the top. Opening it, the pages of the book were covered with different sketches of various alien species that she'd learned from the eventful summer vacation. She smiled at entries of her favorites; Heatblast, Cannonbolt, Four Arms. The list went on as she added her newest alien power entries in the book. She wanted the others to read her book as it filled up with the new species of aliens she would meet and gain powers for. But it seemed like it would never happen now. All she could hope for is that if she died, someone reliable would find the book and publish it to all the Plumbers.
What she didn't noticed was a pair of eyes staring at her in the background, watching her every move.
"We could attack her right now and she would be none the wiser!" A young boy's voice whispered to the two people next to him. A shushing noise was heard as a female voice replied.
"And did you see what she did to that rock? It wouldn't be wise to just go and attack her Jones!"
"Yeah, but we have powers too Mahala! And the boss will be pretty peeved if we don't capture one of them!"
"In truth, the Tennyson clan is a hard batch to follow. But this one is all alone and has inherited the powers of the aliens in her grandfather's arsenal. Since we are trained professionals, we need to study her before ambushing her in broad daylight."
"Silence you two!" A raspy, older voice hissed at them. "If you can spend your time fighting, then you can spend your time being on reconnaissance!"
"Sorry Xerse, we'll be more attentive sir." Jones muttered.
"What he said." Mahala grumbled. "But when do we attack her?"
"Soon, my children...very soon."
It's been awhile since I've updated this story and can I say that I have been distracted with school, life, and family. Other stories also fall under this category. I will try to update this one every so often though. Please leave a review, favorite, or follow. Thanks again for reading!
