Chapter 3

Hey guys, sorry I haven't updated in a while, been busy. Anyway, in this chapter, Obi-Wan talks to Serena about her gift, making Serena tell him about her past. Warning: May get too sad for people.

Obi-Wan was silent, walking beside Serena. Both had been very quiet, not saying a word. Finally, Obi-Wan decided to ask her. "So, how did you discover your gift?" he asked, referring to her being able to burst into flames. Serena sighed. She knew this was coming, but it also meant talking about her past, which was not a picnic.

" Well, it started when I was 6 years old, the day my parents died. It was my fault anyway, they were arguing in front of me ignoring me as usual…

Flashback…

"For Gods Sake Josie, you need help!" A tall, red haired man yelled. The green eyed woman called Josie only got madder. "I told you Jon, I don't need help, I can take care of myself!" Jon's face got red. Ever since his wife started drinking, she had changed a lot. She lost her job, due to her drinking. Now, Jon was getting reports that his wife had brought their 2 year old daughter to a bar, forcing their little girl to watch her mother get drunk and smoke, for she also started that too.

"If you don't do it for me, do it for Serena!" he yelled, ignoring the little red hair girl watching them from their couch. Why do Mommy and Daddy fight so much? 2 year old Serena thought. Her parents had been arguing for about 3 hours, forgetting to feed her dinner. Again. Serena couldn't take it anymore, she got off the couch and screamed at her parents. "PLEASE STOP FIGHTING! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I'M SAD THAT YOU WON'T STOP AT ALL!" Serena ran up the stairs to her room crying, her parents watching her.

"Oh Jon, what are we going to do? I don't want Serena to watch us fight the rest of her life," Josie whispered. "Then, like I said before, you need help, promise me that we will never fight again and you will stop drinking and smoking." She agreed, only to come home late the next day, drunk, smoking, and an empty bottle in her hand. Jon and Josie argued again, ignoring the little girl watching them, tears in her eyes.

Four years had passed, and Serena was now 6 years old. She came home one night, excited to show her parents her new ability. She was playing a game with her ball when she threw it in the air, raising her hand to catch it, only for it to levitate in the air. Mommy and Daddy would be so happy! Serena thought, opening the door, only to see her parents fighting again. Only it wasn't about her mother's drinking and smoking.

"I can't believe you cheated on me Jon, you cheated on me with your boss!" Josie screamed. She had drove to her husbands office, only to find him kissing his boss. "At least I don't run around, drunk and smoking herself to death!"

Serena ran up to her parents, eager to show her parents her gift. "Mommy, Daddy, I need to-" she was interrupted when her mother suddenly turned on her daughter and slapped her daughter, scratching her with her nails. "Be quiet Serena, your father and I are talking, now go somewhere else where you can be as dumb as you want!" Josie screamed at her daughter. Serena stared, crying. Never did her parents hit her, they never even called her dumb Her father ignored his daughter, his face getting red.

Serena had enough of this. Raising both her hands, she pushed them, causing them to fly back against the wall. They stared in shock, realising their daughter used the force. "I'M TIRED OF YOU TWO FIGHTING IN FRONT OF ME IGNORING ME LIKE I'M NOT THERE! AND I HATE YOU!" Serena screamed, smoke coming off her hands. Literally. Her parents stared in horror as Serena's hands suddenly turned the colors of hot burning coals. "I HATE YOU AND I WISH YOU DIDN'T EXIST! I WISH YOU WERE GONE FOREVER!" Serena screamed, her body suddenly erupting into flames, scaring her parents.

Serena raised her hand, only to accidently send a fireball at her parents. Serena stared, as her parents suddenly burned in front of her, until they stopped screaming. "Mommy?" She asked, fear in her voice. The fire on her body vanished. Serena ran up to her parents, hoping they would wake up, for she didn't know what death was. "Mommy, Daddy, wake up! I'm sorry, I didn't mean those things, I just got mad!" Serena screamed, hoping her parents would open her eyes. They remained closed. Serena sat there crying, thinking her life was over.

"And that's how I discovered my gift. Later on, Master Plo found me and brought me to the Temple. All I have to remember my parents is this," she said, pointing to her locket.

Obi-Wan was silent. I can't believe Serena had to grow up like that, watching her parents fight, her mother drinking and smoking in front of her when she was only 2. Obi-Wan thought. Serena sighed. "Lets not worry about the past, we should worry about the fact that we are in the middle of a battle and we have to focus here and now."

There you go, hope you liked it. I thought it would be special if I wrote a chapter about Serena's mother drinking and smoking, because no child should watch their parents fight all the time and drink and smoke in front of their little ones, or hit there child because they want to tell you something, because it can effect their lives too.
