                        7 years later

  School was in, and I was sitting in all the back of my English class. I was looking out the window, today was the anniversary of my mothers death. The day I killed her.

  "Mr.Noir" I turn my head to look at the teacher "I would like for you to pay more attention instead of zoning out" Mr.Jackson insisted.

  Mr.Jackson was a tall man with curly white hair, pale blue eyes, and very pale skin. All the girls loved him because he's muscular and has freckles.
 
  After what seemed like hours the bell finally rung, and I was the last one out. But before I could exit the room Mr.Jackson pulled me aside.

  "I know its hard to focus today, it being the day miranda died, but don't let it distract you from doing your work" he said

  He looked at me with his icy eyes, he way the only person who used my mother's name. He said it like he cared and I hated it. I walked out the class room and into the busy hall.
  There were still kids in the hallway. I walk to my next period class, Gym. I hated gym because I had to play sports which required me to communicate with other kids which I really want to avoid. I was so lost in thought that I bumped into chuck morris, the school bully and apparently he has it out for me.

  "Well,well,well" he said. His breath smelled like spoiled milk "look who we have here, little torean". He shoved me into a locker. I really did not like this guy.

  "Aren't you gonna fight back" he sneered. His arm went from a white-ish pink to a shiny metallic grey.

  Oh super powers are common, especially in kids, everyone discovers their powers by the time their 7.

  All of a sudden chucks metal arm was coated in a thin but strong layer of frost. Mr. Jackson approached us, his normal icy blue eyes were even brighter shade of blue.

  "Torean" he said in a calm but slightly ticked off voice "get to class, chuck you come with me". And with that I was off to my next class, the rest of the day went by fast.

  As I walk to the schools parking lot I am shoved from behind. I got up from the floor and turned around to see who had pushed me. It was chuck and his goons.

  "You thought we were done?" Chuck snorted. It was an ugly snort, like the sound of a pig being punched.

  "No, I just forgot about your existence" I retorted .

  With that he grew mad. His body fully morphed into metal, his goons stepped back. He swung and I stepped back , he barely missed me by an inch. The next punch connected with my stomach, I fell to one knee. He cocked his arm back preparing for another punch but before he could punch me I raised my hand and released a ball of pure darkness. It hit chuck square in the chest and sent him flying a few feet. I held my breath when he didn't move but then he let out a low groan.

  Chucks goons stared at me in bewilderment, I looked down at my hands and saw that there was pure darkness dripping off of my hands. It was and ink-like substance dripping off my fingers.

  Without a thought I ran and grabbed my bike and pedaled as fast as I can home. I ran through the door of NY foster parents house and upstairs into the bathroom. I looked in the mirror the first thing I noticed was that my usual chocolate late brown skin was two shades darker and my brown eyes were now an ultraviolet purple and the tips of my miniature dreads were now bright purple.

What the hell is happening to me

I Walt back into my room and looked on my bed, and that's when I noticed the letter.
