Chapter 2
"You did a fair amount of damage back there" i said as i walked into the room where the girl was resting she was sat on a chair gazing out the window admiring the view the sun shone on here and made her eyes sparkle, she didn't answer me she had her hands clenched together and continued to look out in the distance "so do you have a name?" still no answer "we're not going to hurt you we're here to help you" she blinked once and still nothing i wasn't getting through to her "okay i'll leave you alone" i turned around and went to walk out the door.
"My names laura and i'm sorry about hurting you, all those cuts look painful" my back still facing her i brushed my finger tips across the side of my check touching countless cuts "will they scar?" i turned around to look at her she was no longer looking out the window her small innocent face looked at me with such guilt.
"I'm not going to lie to you but they will, depends on how deep the cut was" her eyes started to water, this girl had no intention of hurting anyone by the look of her she's truly a pure soul "oh it doesn't matter, you see im telepathic i can trick peoples minds into believing that these scars don't exist" i said with a sweet smile she looked down to the floor.
"doesn't mean there not there and i was the cause of them" she put her head in her hands then lifted her head up "whats happening to me?" i sat next to her and put my hand on her shoulder.
"Your powers are manifesting" in a reassuring tone to make it sound like it was a normal thing "you're a Pyrokinetic i believe, explains all the fire" i let off a little chuckle
"i didn't want this, why me?" she sounded so lost and it felt like i could do nothing but the only thing i can do from now on is help her gain control.
"having powers is fun once you have control i love being different in more ways than one" she looked me in the eye and then smiled "we will help you and you can choose to stay with us or go back to your life" the smile dropped from her face "whats wrong?"
"i have nothing to go back to i have no family or friends" she said looking at the floor
"then i suggest you stay with me and josh for a while" i said with a small smile, then josh came running through the door
"uh, we have a situation" he said with an anxious look on his square jawed face, i stood up instantly
"what is it?"
"a girl in town is causing a scene and is trying to destroy stuff along with the police" i let out a loud groan
"can't people just be normal for once" i looked over to laura "we'll be back soon" she stood up as if to protest
"i want to come with" and i just looked at her with a sly smile.
