I remember where it all started;

I was only a child, but still I knew how cruel the world was. I feel like I got the bitter end of the stick. 

Many of us had abilities but mine were different. People feared me. All it took for me was one touch to know all of the deepest, darkest parts of others. It was hard at first, to not resent them for it, but because I can see a person for who they really are, I was able to understand... why they are the way that they are. 

This curse... for a long time..I had a hard time controlling it. I could never explain how but there were times where I swore I was able to control peoples wills. At first, it was a second.. but then as I practiced my ability more, a second turned into a minute. A minute grew into 2, and so on.  I was able to get them to do what I wanted. It was like putting wool over their eyes. My own little sheep.

My parents didn’t even want me, they tried to use me for their own benefit. I always refused, so they tried hard to get rid of me instead. They saw me as useless, I was left to the neighbors at one point before they abandoned me too. 

I was all alone when it all happened. The government passed a law where all of those with abilities had to be kept in cages like animals. I was good living on my own for a long time, I got farther than most people would of, if we're being honest.

 Then I ran into him. 

He was the first person to ever show me kindness, and maybe, that’s why... I followed him.
