*Alli's POV*
I walked around the streets of New York thinking about everything going on in my life. I'm only 17 years old and I have major problems in my life. My parents died when I was 8 years old in a car crash and I was forced to live with my drunken, abusive uncle in New York. There's not a day that goes by that I wanna use my powers on him to make him listen to me. But I knew it was wrong, I had to listen to him no matter what even if I did want to make him scared of me.
"Daddy,?" my eight year old self asked, "How did I get my powers?"
"Well, our ancestors got them back then. Nobody remembers though, but we still practice to keep our powers in control" he tells me in the nicest way.
"So, when can I practice with my powers?" I asked him
"Soon enough, I promise" he replied, "Now, me and mommy gotta go, the babysitters downstairs if you need anything, alright?" and I nodded as he kissed my forehead, "Goodnight, my little superhero" and with that I slept with a smile on my face.
That was the last time I saw my mom and dad. My babysitter woke me up to tell me that my parents died in a car crash. I cried too much that night and had trouble sleeping. The next day the federal officers came to get me and put me on a plane to New York to live with my uncle. Now I'm here, living the life of misery. I practiced on my powers a little with my dad when I was 6 and on my own too once I started to live with my uncle and I sometimes use my invisibility to sneak in and out of the house. I'm lucky enough if my uncle forgets that I've been out since midnight and I don't get a beating.
I kept walking along the sidewalk when I saw a building on fire, I see all of the tenants outside when all of a sudden a woman starts to cry, "My daughter's still inside of the building, someone please save my little girl". I couldn't help but run in there and see everything burning down to a crisp. I walked around the burning building looking for the little girl, eventually finding her in the corner. "Come on, sweetie, let's get you to your mommy" I told her and she walked slowly and carefully towards me. As she walked towards me a piece of the building started to fall. The little girl covered herself and I used my telekinesis to keep the piece levitating above her head. "Come on sweetie, hurry" I told her as she ran to me. We started to run towards the door but saw it was engulfed in flames.
I turn my attention to the little girl as she clings to me. I look around the burning building to see if there was another exit but there wasn't. I tried to look for a water supply to put out the flames, lucky enough I found a sink that was still intact so I concentrate to get the water out of the sink and I throw it at the fire and it goes out. We run out and I see her run to her mom, "Thank you" the little girl's mom said to me and I nodded in reply. The firefighters took me to an ambulance and they handed me an oxygen mask.
When that was all finished I walked back home and saw the lights on. That means my uncle's either waiting for me to know where I was then beat the crap out of me or he's passed out on the couch drunk. I could either use my invisibility and sneak upstairs or risk it and get a beating from my uncle. I turn myself invisible and sneak in and see my uncle passed out on the couch with a beer bottle in his hand. I carefully close the door and head upstairs, but since my uncle was super passed out he heard the creak on the stairs. "Alli! Are you there?!" he yells I do my best to stay quiet without my uncle noticing I was here.
I carefully went up to my room and closed the door quietly. But it wasn't enough without my uncle busting in my room and yelling at me "Where the hell were you, young lady!". That scream was enough to make my whole body shudder, "I've been here the whole time" I lie innocently trying to convince him. But that look in his eye tells me that, it didn't work, "Don't give me that bullshit! When I came home you weren't here! Now tell me the fucking truth! Where the fuck were you!" he said slowly taking steps towards me. I slowly back up, scared for my life, and fall on top of my bed. "I was just walking around the city, nothing too big, I swear" I tell him biting my lip.
