Chapter 2

I walked downstairs with a small smile. 'What now?' I hummed in thought. 'Hmm, maybe I'll fly around a bit. It's not like I have to do anything today,' But I had one problem, mom and dad were still home. 'Dang it,' I shrugged. 'guess it'll have to wait. It's not like my powers are going to leave me anyway,'

I arrived downstairs and saw my mom and dad talking about something but I shrugged it off and ignored it. My brother walked up to me. "I know you want to go out flying. Just wait a few moments. They'll be leaving soon," he said to me.

I frowned. "How do you know that?" I wondered.

He chuckled. "Because I pay attention to things that you don't," I sweatdropped, knowing that was true. I get distracted very easily and even when I'm standing near someone I sometimes still don't hear what they say.

True to his word, a few minutes later I heard my mom calling from another room. "We're leaving to get some groceries! We'll be back in a couple of hours!" We heard the door close and I smiled. "So you're going?" David asked.

I raised an eyebrow. "Yes, mom and dad are going to be gone for a while so I have some time to enjoy myself a bit," I saw the disappointment in his eyes. "You wanna come? I'm sure I can handle carrying you,"

He grinned. "You know me all too well bro. Of course I'll come!"

I chuckled. "Let's go outside, I don't have much space to fly here and I don't think I'd fit through the door." David shrugged and followed me outside. "So? What now?" he asked. I smirked and changed into my Latiform. I flew to him and lowered myself, before nodding for him to hop on. He took the jest and sat on me. "Dang, you're heavy," I muttered, but luckily he couldn't understand it.

"Shall we go then?" he asked. I turned myself and David invisible, because I didn't want anyone to see me, and flew up, not my fastest but not exactly slow. I frowned when I remembered that David said to me that I'm psychic so I should be able to communicate through telepathy. "Well I guess I could give it a try," I thought, so I closed my eyes, feeling the power flowing through me again. I didn't exactly know how to create a telepathic message but I concentrated on both David's brain and mine. I immediately felt that mine was much stronger and bigger than his.

'Must be because I'm psychic,' I thought to myself, coming up with the most logical answer. I concentrated on him and tried to speak in his head. 'DAVID! CAN YOU HEAR ME?' I practically yelled in his head. Or at least I tried to because he didn't react at all. I grunted and tried it again, with more force now. David frowned. "Are you doing something?"

I sweatdropped, I wanted to reply but obviously, I couldn't since I was in my Latiform. "You trying to use telepathy?"' he asked me. I nodded. I kept trying to use telepathy not really paying attention to where I was going. Eventually, he tapped me on the head. "Um, where are you flying to? We're like, already miles away from home," I frowned when I realized I had flown way too far. I could already see the ocean. My brother and I both marveled at the beautiful sight. The ocean was sparkling brightly, little lights of reflections could be seen in a golden glimmer on the ocean, giving off orange and yellow sun rays. "Amazing," I heard my brother whispering.

I had to admit, the sight was beautiful. I'd been far off a lot of times, it was easy because I could fly very fast, sometimes even surprising myself. I'd seen a lot of nice buildings, statues, and parks but this definitely deserved a place on the top. "Michael I think we should go back. We've flown a lot longer than you think you did," David advised me.

I sighed but complied as I turned but groaned when I couldn't remember where I'd flown. 'Must be because I'd tried to use telepathy,' I thought to myself, but I knew full well I was terrible in directions. My brother knew this too and chuckled slightly. "Forgot the way did you?" he teased me.

I grunted in reply. He just laughed and pointed to the east. "It's that way. We should be there in about half an hour."

I smiled, David had no idea how fast I could go, so I decided to show him firsthand. With a massive rush of speed, I shot forward, going the fastest I could go. I laughed loudly when my brother started to scream. But when I listened carefully I heard something in his voice, not adrenaline or excitement. I quickly knew what it was, however. "STOP! YOU'RE HURTING ME!" he yelled.

I quickly slowed down, not stopping immediately because if I had, he would have been thrown off. When I came to a complete stop I looked behind me, with a worried face at my brother. He grunted. "I hope you realize that jet pilots have a safety system and that the jet itself also takes pressure. If you would have continued flying that fast I could have gotten hurt from the immense pressure on my body. That is if I hadn't gotten flung off first," He explained to me. I nuzzled him to say sorry, I had no idea that could happen. He smiled. "I'm fine, just go home, we don't want mom or dad to beat us there,"

I sighed when I thought about it but quickly ignored it and flew to our home at a much slower pace. I looked back to check if David was ok. He simply nodded to me in return. When we got home, I flew inside and David jumped off. We both gasped in terror when mom opened the door. "WHERE HAVE YOU TWO BE…" she looked with big eyes at me, fear clear in her eyes. "GERALD! COME QUICK! MONSTER! MONSTER!" she yelled loudly. My dad rushed in, holding his pistol at me. "You leave my family alone! Do you hear? LEAVE NOW AND NEVER COME BACK!" I gasped when I saw he was going to pull the trigger. With a quick burst of speed, I rushed outside, hearing a bang and shattering glass just behind me. I sighed in relief that I was still ok, or at least physically. In my mind, I became angry again. I forced myself to calm down, which took a lot of strength but I eventually managed to when I heard David yell. "It's Michael! Stop this!"

I turned invisible and peeked my head inside. I saw that my father was still protectively standing in front of my mom, still pointing his gun at the shattered window. I knew I was safe because there was no way he could see me. "That's not my son," My mom hissed.

David sighed. "Michael, come inside, I know you're there," I frowned at that and squealed loudly. No way I was going to enter with dad pointing his gun at me. David correctly guessed what I said which caused me to wonder if he was starting to figure out what I was saying. "Dad put the gun down," He said. My dad visibly was shaken, but he lowered his gun. I nodded and squeezed myself inside. With a bright green shower of light, I revealed myself again. David walked to me. "Mom, Dad, this is Michael's real form,"

My mom looked with narrowed, angry eyes at me. "That's not my son!" she repeated. "That's a monster!"

Tears gathered in my eyes after being called a monster by my mom. I've always known people would say such things against me but I never expected my mom and dad to. I changed back to my human form, getting a surprised shock from my mom and dad. I passed them, no emotion on my face or voice. "I am your son," I said and I ran up to my room.

David sighed and started to walk to my room. "I can't believe you two, telling your son that he's a monster," He scolded before running after me. If felt it again. That power rushed through my body, stronger than ever. My body changed again to my Latiform. I roared at the door when a knock was heard. "Michael, let me in. It's me, David," The voice said from the other side of the door. I squealed lower, permitting him to enter. He slowly walked in. "Michael, I understand how you are feeling, please stay calm,"

I looked angry at him. "You say that you understand? YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND IT AT ALL. YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT!" I yelled loudly even though he couldn't understand me. He got the gesture however when my claw shone again and smashed into my desk, completely ripping it in two.

Gerald looked weak at Lily. "I know this is hard to believe Lily but…he's still our son,"

Lily looked at him. "That's not my son I know," She looked up. "YOU HEAR ME! YOU'RE NOT MY SON!"

David looked with compassion at me. "Michael, please try to calm down," He said but right at that moment, we heard mom yell. "You hear me! You're not my son!"

That was too much. I roared and started to shine with green light, greatly startling and scaring David. Everything in the room except David gained glowed a faint green and started to fly around me, the bigger things crushing themselves into little pieces of wood and metal. David ran out of the room, scared of what would happen. I widened my eyes, power expelling from me, sending everything crashing against the walls, destroying everything I owned. But it wasn't over yet, because for some reason I didn't know myself I opened my mouth. My brother looked inside, thinking it was over but widened his eyes when a green orb started to gain energy in my mouth. I shined brighter than ever and fired the orb, a beautiful but immensely powerful green beam of pure light. The beam just went through the roof like it was nothing but a little piece of paper and shot way up in the sky until my power started to fade. The bright beam fell apart into little beams and eventually faded into nothing. I fell to the ground, feeling weak and dizzy. The last thing I saw was David kneeling next to me, saying. "You'll be ok." Then my vision went black.

That's chapter 2 after being heavily edited by me.
