Chapter 2: Mr Neighbour

I was falling, falling deep. I had to wake up from this nightmare.

And I did...looking around everything was normal again.

I decided to get ready doing my daily routine. And a bit of yoga. When I took a shower and got ready. My outfit being a sweater and some jeans. Very casual I know, I also couldn't forget my black-rimmed glasses. I got out the cake, making a perfect sponge cake and wrapping it in film. I headed over to my new neighbour.

If your wondering. No I'm not in a hotel. I'm in condo, I rented. A very small one that is. I knock on my neighbour's door. I hear a bit of name calling and before I know it the door is open.

The dude with piercings and tattoos stands before me. he definitely isn't the guy from earlier. "Um...are you my new neighbour?" I asked, already feeling dumbfounded.

"No...but my bro is here. You got to come in first." He smirks. I nod unsurely and wait in the living room. He sits very close to me.

"Your a pretty little gem aren't you?" He winks. I cringe and move away. "What did I d wrong now, hun." He smirks a lot. "Can you just get him or not." I feel my temper rising. And I try to calm it, if it gets higher, things will go flying and by flying well...

"Ok..." He sighs. "Wait here." His figure disappears from sight.

The house is quite dirty. With alcohol bottles and cups chucked everywhere. It has a bad smell. And girls thongs!! My God help me!

"Hey.~" I jump out in surprise as the guy from earlier shows. He stands near the dining table fiddling with letters. Raking his hand through his jet-black hair. Locks of mysteries gather around him. A strange aura? His eyes avert to mine and his silver, glistening eyes shine with immaturity.  He looks like a wild, crazy guy. Who breaks the rules and does what he wants. His clothes are punk and Reggie.

"Umm..hi your my new neighbour right?" I ask to be 100% sure.

"Yeah, what do you want." He snaps as he places the letter down. I yelp and shake my head. "Well..."

"Yeah. go on." he provokes.

I twiddle my fingers. "I brought you a gift. Piece offering." I hand it to him and start walking off before... he pulls my arm back. "You got me this."

"Why of course? I would like to be a friendly neighbour with you." I say, with so much optimism it screeches my ears. "Thanks. But don't you want to stay for a while? get to know each other?" he questions. I shake my head as in no.

"I've got to go somewhere." I reply. He nods and smiles. "Really thank you...umm what's your name neighbour?" he hints an eyebrow.

"Lucy Lawyer." I reply.

"Cool. My name is u- uh Adrian Jones." He then closes the door, as I walk back home.

"Really? That's great. Ok I will. Thanks love you bye." I hung up and locked my phone.

My mom just told me I could start school in a  few days, maybe even sooner. But...since my power activates when I am mad or want it to. It randomly occurs to be honest. I want to flick things into it's place like the lamp. I focus my eyes on the switch and it turns on. I smile. But then it blows. Like I said they aren't that accurate. I decide to change the now, shattered bulb, with a  new fresh one.

I'm so excited for school. I've stopped going since I was 9. 8 years ago, I'm now 17. So yeah...when I found out I had it. We couldn't go to the doctors, as they obviously can't do shit. So I had to stay indoors. Watching the children play by, day to night. Going to school and going to the park in the afternoon, tasting the drip of fresh water.

I never had a normal childhood, because of this power.

And since I'm depressed it makes me hate myself, doubt myself.

So...getting off topic with my thoughts I can go school. But anger management classes, so a therapy session for an hour after school straight away. Uhh...why?! Well this therapist is apparently, according to my mothers bright choice of words. 'A great intelligent individual, with great physique.' So I guess I have to go.. at least I can still go school though.

Le sigh

I eye the costume I have ready for Halloween. It looks oddly weird.

It is purple and black. And has a silver crusted, dazzling rose.

Anyways, I decide to put it on, trying it on for the first time. It feels really nice. Normally I'm a teen who loves wearing casual, nerdy clothes. But this makes me feel like a superhero. I could be?

I have powers, well telekinesis. But all this doesn't feel real anymore. But it's real. I can flick things, make them go book if I get too angry. Animals can communicate with me? Actually I'm not too sure on that one.

I turn on the news. 'People trapped on a  roller coaster, which might crash.' I turn it off and collapse.

"You have much more. If you just say yes, I'll give you more powers. So..join me." An alternative voice in my head calls out... Seeking something. I give in as they drain my energy. Then everything goes black.

Other Lucy's POV:

She rests in the closet. I have a time limit of 60 minutes. Lucy was a beginner she never knew she had other powers. I'm a master. So now I'll handle this. I open her big windows. The clouds and winds gathering dark storms. I put on her cape. And fly through the storms. Lightning all around me.

Then I find the theme park and land safely on the ground. "Nice." I smirk. My mask covers my face and I decide to save those maggots.

I clearly love killing people. But for her...she's changing me dammit!!

SO I'll save these people, then she'll have to give in to me. Right?

Why do I have to save them though. It's all very weird.

She is a strange girl.

After saving 27 civilians from the roller coaster I fly them all down, one-by-one.

Unfortunately, the roller coaster crashed. But these people are safe. Le sigh

"Hero!" They chant.

I nod smirking. I wave my finger up. "Silence Only for today. Tomorrow I shall be your enemy. Don't thank me, thank your saviour." I tease bitterly. They all become silent until one speaks up...

"What's your name?" A little boy asks, with an action figure doll. "name?" I repeat unsure.

"Yeah like name. Do you have a word that people call you. So we all refer to you."

"Umm...Call me 'Violet Rose'." And I flew off. They all chanted and cheered. 'Violet Rose.'

Violet, since my outfit is violet (purple) and has a rose in the middle. Roses prick you as they have thorns surrounding it. like a wall protecting it's inner self and that's what I'm doing.

I feel so confused my body comes in contact with a body and I slice their head off clean.

Then I walk back to her apartment.
