its a cold day today, im running i can barely catch my breath, im going home only this time im not going to come back this is my last time im going to see my house " i cant stay here"

i open my door i go into my room i get all my clothes ,and other things that i will need. i go to the kitchen get water bottles when suddenly i hear a knock
" its the police caleb open the door or well break it down" i ignore the officer's word's when i see a shadow in the window "there surrounding me "

i run to the garage door and run as quite as i can i stop " dont move caleb or we will have to shoot".i stop waiting to see what there next move is trying to find out his weakness. i start running he starts shooting me running shots being fired hope fully none of them collide. i run over to the neighbor's yard when i stop i see more officer's running in my direction " im cornered "

they start surrounding me " it's over i lost"

i start crying tears of anger run down my face when i notice the ground begin to shake " its me doing it "

i then realize that this power is controlled by my emotions " hey what are you doing caleb stop or i will have to order my men to shoot" in a flash the ground begins to shake more " FIRE!" i hear shots being fired, fired at me " is this how im going to die ...... NO"

i stop the bullets its unreal but my emotions take over " you dare try to shoot me" i say with anger i reverse the bullets to point at them when out of no where a helicopter comes out its a news chopper i get more mad " YOU WANT A SHOW HERE'S YOUR SHOW " i let the bullets go i see officer after officer fall " nows my chance to run"

i run to the streets " there is a park near by "

i run when i see a police car behind me , its not stopping, its actually speeding up i run to the side walk and inside a backyard " i know a short cut" i keep running i see it the park " am i free" i feel a pain in my arm i stop i look down " ive been shot"

i see three policemen behind me with two dogs i try to put the pain aside and i keep going " let the dogs go" in a matter of seconds i hear barking then i look and i see two dogs behind me closing in on me, i trip on a loose twig i turn around i see one dog on top of me i fight it off but the second dog had me by my right leg its teeth deep into my leg blood going every where i stop and try to use my powers control them i get mad in a flash the dog fly's off of me and hits the ground hard i try to stand i can barely move my right leg blood is dripping " you got to keep going "

i start walking when " caleb its over you have a broken leg you cant walk anymore " i start trying to walk i fall the pain is to much " its over im a failure"

i begin to crawl trying so hard to keep going " you cant give up .... just keep going" i get up i refuse to give up on myself. i start running avoiding the pain " MEN after him he is a loose weapon " i start running my face being scratched my branches my dripping blood leaving a trail right to me " SHIT" i stop a dead end a waterfall i cant run i stop i look behind me five police officers holding there guns at me " STOP YOUR COMING WITH US " i see the news chopper right on top of me i start getting angry. the ground starts shaking i look at the the chopper wanting it to go down when we hear something suddenly i see smoke coming from the back of it its going down . smoke every where fire spreading all through the forest " nows my chance" i use the rest of my strength to jump " WHAT THE HELL SHOOT MEN" bullets going towards me i black out " this is how i die?"

to think this all started because my anger took over . when i was little i wasnt a average child i knew i had powers but my dad always said that i was just imagining , i could move things with my mind i always wanted to fly but i couldn't ever perfect it. when i got angry things would shake and i would be the cause of it my dad always said it was a earthquake. i never knew my mother she was always kept from me. i still want to find her i always told myself " maybe she can help me or she knows something ".

during chemistry i was in a bad mood when javier lerma walks by me and shoves me" what the hell man" he turns back and looks at me " what was that faggot" i tried to ignore him but when he destroyed my project and got bleach all over me i lost it. i blacked out but when i woke up i saw the chemistry room destroyed , i saw everyone crawling screaming i run out of there as fast as i can but when a police officer shows up i pretended like i was a victim until a javier screamed out he did this " son your going to have to come with me" he grabbed me and i threw him to the wall and i ran out of that school.

" am i dead ?"

i can barely move but i am loosing air and fast "ahhhhhh" i come out gasping for air i wipe my face i see the cops watching me " KEEP SHOOTING HE HAS TO BE TERMINATED " i start swimming looking for land but it's hard my leg still hurting my arm stil in pain im swimming like a dog until i hear " retreat" are they leaving me at last or leaving me for DEAD all i know is i need to find the nearest hospital and fast. I get out of the water only to find myself into a dark forest. I start wondering my body feels numb I can't see my own hands "I've lost all hope"

I feel like there someone circling me I hear a noise GRRRRR!!!!!!!!! I turn around and see a wolf in its attacking position "bring it on BITCH" I pick up a rock he jumps on me I smash it's head with the rock it retreats I keep wondering searching I see road " finally" I wait for someone to drive by , a few minutes later see a jeep coming I wave yelling "help me .....please" they keep driving I stop the jeep with my mind the guy steps out "what the hell did you do " I raise my hand he starts rising "hey man I'm sorry" I don't listen once again I wasn't in control "please let me go I'll do anything " I snap his neck he falls to the ground no movement just a corpse I don't hesitate I walk to the jeep and drive away " what the hell am I turning into all I know is I don't have to hide anymore I am free

"

Driving in the darkness is like me wandering my mind I don't know what is right and what is wrong all i know is i dont have to be afraid " i cant change myself" im tired of trying to hide who i am WHAT

i am i keep driving i see lights , im in the city i try to find a motel , i find one , its dirty , and looks like no one ever checks in this place. i look around the car looking for money " i dont need money" i stop looking i walk to a empty room and crush the door knob and kick the door open " i lay down and close my eyes " this is a new beginning A NEW ME"

when i open my eyes i try to walk i can barely walk , i leave the room and walk to the jeep " i need to go to the hospital" i start driving looking for the nearest hospital. When i finally find one i park i step out and i fall " my leg it's broken" i scream " HELP ME PLEASE" no one answers or tries to help. I start crawling when i reach the entrance i cant do it " HELP ME PLEASE I NEED MEDICAL HELP" i see no one . i close my eyes " why wont anyone help me?"

i fall back asleep. i open my eyes i find myself in my room its night time " im home" i jump out of bed i open the door " dad " i run to his room when i hear the windows break i see police lights " were coming in " BOOOMMM!!!! i see lights being pointed at me , i can barely see BAM i hit the ground " caleb nicasio you are under arrest for the murder of 4 people" they lift me up i see my dad looking at me " dad please help me " he turns his back on me " DAD DONT LEAVE ME " tears start dripping from my face to the floor " dont go"

i get pushed back to the ground " you freak" me turning i see my friends looking down at me " no one likes you" i see jessica, stephanie, jorge,and nellie . jessica gets
