I just turned 24 and was still on the run.
When will my life allow me to be normal?
When I turned 16 years old, I got powers that allowed me to see the truth of who is good and bad by reading their life force. I can also control people actions.
So far, there has been very few people in this world I can trust. The last person I trusted was my Uncle George who is known to many as the Duke. Little did I know at that time, he was the one who killed my Mother and Father and try to use my power to take over everything.
Everyone in this world wants an edge to gain more power. Only the strong and powerful will survive.
When my Uncle last tricked me into reveling myself, a few months ago, I barely escaped his wrath and have been trying to stay one step ahead of his men.
Today is December 5th, my birthday, and I sit in a booth eating a cupcake and wishing that the nightmare of my life would end.

"Will there be anything else young man?" The waitress asked.
"No... how much do I owe?" I ask her.
"15 jems." She says.
I pulled out 20 and told her to keep the changes.
I get up to walk out and as I was leaving a tall dark handsome man enter the cafe and bumped me.
"Excuse me." He said then gave me a strange look.
I looked at him, the air around him was a peach gold color. This means that he was a powerful person but trustworthy.
I pushed his mind to walk pass me so I could leave. I did not understand what this feeling is I have that surrounds me.
I had to get out of there and find a place to sleep tonight.
My uncle almost caught me two days ago because I stayed to long in the last town. I won't make that same mistake again.
I walk around untill an inn comes into view.
"How may I help you young man?" the inn keeper asked.
"I need a room." I told him.
"How long will you be with us?"he ask.
"Just tonight." I wish I could rest longer but I knew I had to keep moving.
The inn keeper gave me a key to room four. I could see the puzzled look and knew it was because he did not ask me to sign the record book. This was the power of the push.
I had to use my powers to stop the inn keeper from getting my information. I hated my powers, but it was necessary to stay off my uncles radar. I could leave no trail.
I opened the door, it was a clean room. With a soft queen size bed. I think I will lay for awhile before I head to look for supplies.
When I woke up the sun was just starting down. I surch the town and find a general store. I buy just a few basic things, flour, sugar, coffee, and dried meat.
Then I headed back to the cafe for dinner. As I arrive I seen the same man sitting in the back. He seemed to be keeping an eye on everyone who comes in. I have a funny feeling so I will try to stay out of his way.
"What will you have this evening?" the waitress asked.
"Stew with bread also give me a beer."
"Ok anything else?" She asked.
I tell her no and look around. There are a lot warriors in here and a few women of pleasure out to make a few Jems.
"Hey sweetie want some company?" one of the girls ask me.
"Sorry only have enough for my meal darling." She shugs and walks away.
Just as I get my meal and beer the guy who bumped onto me this afternoon came over and sat next to me.
His eyes were like two pools of clear blue water. His life force was overwhelming. I drew in a sharp breath.
"May I set with you lad?" his voice sent a shiver through my body.
I shrug and he stares at me. I can't help but panic.
"I'm trying to eat." I try to make him leave but his body stays and he just looks at me.
I again focus on making him leave till I can feel blood coming from my nose.
He hands me a handkerchief. I take it and press it to my nose, "Thank you."
"What's your name son?" The man asked.
I burn with furry. "I'm not your son. Please leave me alone." I try to make myself clear.
"Please tell me your name and finish your meal." The man says.
Even though his life force shows him to be a good man I can't help but think I need to get out of there.
"Not hungry any more. Bye." I get up and walk out of the building as fast as I could. I need a good nights sleep and to get out of this town.
As I walk back to the inn two men are now following me. 'Give me a break.' I say to my self.
As I reach the inn I run to my room and bar the door. I'll catch a few hours of sleep and leave before the sun comes up.
I fill up the tub and take a long bath. Bathing is far and in between so I like to take long ones when I can.
Soon there is a knock on the door. I quickly dress my self and call out, "Who is it?"
"My name is Maximum I need to talk to you?" the voice said.
"Not tonight, I'll meet you in the morning at the cafe for breakfast." I plan on being far away but he does not need to know this.
"Fine but please, I need to talk with you." he says.
I crawl into bed for a few hours sleep and I have the same dream I always have.
The sky is dark and lighting streaks the sky. I can hear a child crying and as I surch the crying becomes louder and louder. I run and run but never come close. Then a hand grabs me and pulls me away. I now can see the child laughing as I am dragged away.
I wake up in a cold sweat breathing heavy. What does this dream even mean. I look at the time and I had slept four hours so I gather my things to leave.
As I open my door a tall thin man with gold wavy hair is sitting next to the wall. His life force is Blue and silver. He looks like someone I once knew but I could not think of who. He is snoring very loud so I try to be very quiet as I step over him.
