Chapter 2 - I Need To Get Stronger

My Name is Trever Lynn. This is the story of how I discovered a hidden ability amongst a supernatural human society.

~~~

Today began like any other. Same story different day.

I woke up early in this morning, and began my regular routine.

Wake up, eat breakfast, my morning jog, then off to school.

I didn't live far from school. Thanks to the government I was placed in government housing close to my school.

Not long ago after the discovery of the new planets the military formed a group of special search parties to go explore these strange but interesting new planets.

That was about 5 years ago when I was just 12 years old.

My parents were a part of this special expedition squad…

One day my parents left to head an expedition to explore a newly found planet. Since that day I never saw my parents again.

No one really knows what happened just that all communication was lost, and after years of searching they were never found.

Ever since then I've been living on my own. Living off government aid and housing.

Finally it's my last week of school. I'd just recently turned 17. I was ready to start a new chapter in my life.

I was never one that fit in much. As such I was usually alone.

Today, like any other day, I start walking toward my home room class. Suddenly I bumped into someone. Someone I'd much rather have avoided.

I fell over, my school books fell on the floor around me. I look up to see a face I'm all too familiar with.

Chad Duncan, towering over me. His sharp sky blue eyes piercing down at me. I scramble to gather my book, but he grabs me by my collar.

"Hey dweeb, watch where you're going."

Suddenly I feel myself flying backwards down the hall. I crash hard against the floor and slide up against the wall.

Chad's sub element was gust.

"Worthless, with no ability you'll never made it anywhere in this world. You're just useless trash wasting precious recourses. Why do you even bother trying."

Before my parents left, they hadn't given me any ability book. I was left an orphan with no power.

It was extremely rare to find people like me with no ability.

Some were lucky to be born to families with abilities such as originals. While others had to purchase sub element ability books.

It was pretty rare to find people with the full original ability. Most commonly people had sub abilities that would stem from the original element.

I lived in a grey zone where most people had any random type of the sub elements.

As I lay here on the ground trying to gather my senses again. I feel a sharp pain in my shoulder. I look to see and notice my shoulder is broken.

As Chad walks away I gather my things and head to the nurses office, wincing in pain every time my shoulder moves.

As I walk in the school nurse walks up to me.

"You ran into Chad again today didn't you? What have I told you about keeping your head down while waking in the halls. You're about to be an Adult. When are you going to come out of this shy phase Trever."

The school nurse knows me better than anyone. Since I first started middle school, Chad has been bullying me for years.

The school nurse is one of very few rare water sub elementals that have the ability of healing mist.

"Ms. Camillé, you know how I am. I was just trying to avoid everyone and get to my home room."

She looks at me with hurt in her eyes. "You need to be more careful. There are a lot more people like Chad out in the real world. If you don't learn to be aware of your surroundings you'll be picked on for the rest of your life."

In a society where power means everything. Bullying is overlooked. If a person is weaker it meant they deserved to be treated in such ways.

Such is the hierarchy of the Star Foundation Society. Those at the top will always look down on those below them.

For me I'm as low as it gets. I have no family, no money, and no ability, trash.

Ms. Camille starts to heal my shoulder after setting it back into place. As the pain start to subside my expression finally relaxes.

"Thank you Ms. Camillé."

She looks at me with hurt and worry in her misty blue eyes. "I won't always be around kid. You have to learn to fend for yourself out there."

With that I said my goodbyes as the bell was about to ring signaling classes are about to begin.

As I'm rushing to class I think to myself. "I need to get stronger."
