The Misfits

Alex's POV With my knocking knuckles aligned on the bat, I swung repeatedly at the large, old oak tree. As I swung I thought of the terrible things I wanted to do to equally as terrible people. The weather, as always reflected my mood, dark and gloomy. The words and lies of my once loved ones filled my cloudy, messed up head. The weather once again not failing to reflect my mood acted up. Now pouring with flashes of lighting in between downpours. I look at my now soaked and slightly scorched surroundings and thought, Why me? Why now? All I wanted was to be a normal kid, but I knew that was never going to happen. Not now, not ever, and especially not to a misfit like me. I dropped the now shattered Louisville Slugger and resorting to my bare hands. I pounded on the tree until I could feel nothing but the blood pouring down my freshly torn up hands. Blood on my hands? Ha! That was nothing I hadn't felt before. Crack! A twig broke behind me. I knew who it was but even she couldn't stop what was happening. I had lost control and there was no going back now. My eyes that were usually a calming shade of blue were now completely black. "Alex, no," she shrieked bolting to my side. She grabbed my battered hand and said: "you are better than this!" But like I said I was already at the point of no return. She yelped as I sent a volt of electricity through her. I heard her thud to the ground. At that moment I realized what I had done. I couldn't think straight, what if I had hurt her? But it wasn't my fault, was it? I fell to her side, she had to be okay she just had to! Just then I heard a cough, "Alex!" "I'm so sorry, Lynn, I didn't mean to- I was just-and you were!" I choked on my words as she looked at me frightened. "Your eyes," She said "they are completely bb-black" I couldn't believe how much of a monster I was! I talked about what people did to me But I was no better! "Don't think like that!" she moaned, "I know you're sorry but right now you really need to calm down before something really bad happens." I always forget the fact that she could read minds. But she was right, I needed to calm down which meant we needed to go, and fast. "We need to go," I demanded, "can you stand?" "I know we do, Alex", she answered, "So stop worrying about me and get moving!" We ran to the only place that would calm me, the ocean. Even the thought of the water calmed me. With each step, I took the weather changed. Hurricanes. Tornadoes. Thunder. Lighting. Any weather you could think of was there. The only thing that wasn't was the sun. To give you an idea, California is usually bright and sunny, not like this! This is bad really bad I need to be there, and I need to be there now. This needs to stop. All of this! Just as those last thoughts were formulated everything ceased and went pitch black. I woke up in a hospital bed with Lynn by my side. "What happened?" I asked holding my aching head. " You were running and then just collapsed for a minute everything went haywire and then it just stopped." "What do you mean stopped?" I asked contemplating what had just happened. I mean I knew I wanted what was happening to stop, but I didn't think I would just faint like that. "No I don't think you get it," she said rolling her eyes, "I mean the weather it's gone." I just stared at her unsure of what to think. I knew I had power, but I didn't think I had this much. "But how," I yelled, "I know I can control the weather but I can't just stop it, right!" "Trust me I'm just as scared as you are but whatever you did you need to undo it!" She commanded forcefully. "well don't just lay there," she added, "we need to go fix this!" "But I can't" I cried, "I don't even know how I did it! I'm so scared Lynn what kind of monster am I? Why do you even stay with me with all of this pain I caused you? I don't deserve you! I don't deserve anything! I am a vile, barbaric animal!" " I stay with you because I am too! We are misfits Alex! But that doesn't matter right now we have to fix the mess we have created!" she cried back, grabbing my arm "I know!" I said jumping out of the hospital bed. But how I thought, what did I do! I always mess up. Why can't I just be normal like everybody else? "Let's go," she said " you know I can only do this once and we have to do this fast before the nurse comes back." She grabbed my hand and within a second, we were gone. Where we were going I didn't know, but I did know we had to fix this. I had to fix this, and I needed to do it fast. Really really fast, or else who knows what could happen?
