256. Alone

  Everyone was pushed away by the sphere of light of my Faith power awakening. They all fell down to the floor 30cm away from me.

  “W-What was that?”

  “I don’t know!”

  “What happened to that filth?”

  “G-GUYS!! THAT’S AN AWAKENING!! THAT FILTHY RAT IS NOW A BELIEVER!!”

  “EEEEEEEEEEHHHHHH??”

  Everyone was shocked and surprised by one of the students’ explanations. Everyone was terrified and shook. They started sweating and feared me. They have no idea what my Faith power is, and they don’t wanna find out the hard way.

  “HAH! SO WHAT IF SHE’S A BELIEVER NOW? I AM NOT SCARED OF AN ILLEGITIMATE CHILD WITH MAGIC POWERS!!” said one of the female students as she stood up.

  “HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”

  The girl student runs towards me and swings her fist at my face. But she suddenly stops in place without punching me.

  *?*

  Everyone else in the vicinity was confused by her sudden stop. I was also confused by her sudden stop. But then I soon realized that this was because of my own doing. She was frozen because it is my Faith Power’s ability.

  I have the power to stun people for five minutes and lock them inside a nightmare where they spend a long time battling something or someone that they feared the most in their life. All they have to do is stare at my eyes at close range, and my Faith power activates.

  “. . .”

  “(This is. . . me?)”

  I also quickly realized that my retina has changed completely. The inner part of my iris has a blue ring in it, my sclera turns green on the top and the bottom part, and yellow in between the green parts, with a big red ring circling the iris on the sclera as well. The skin around my eyes also turns pitch black. The appearance in my eyes looked straight out of a nightmare.

  The student who surrounded me became very afraid of me. The moment I saw their scared faces, a tint of joy suddenly sparked inside my heart. I started smiling widely and creepily.

  “What is wrong with you all? Why stop now?”

  I provoke them as I open and spread my hands wide.

  “I THOUGHT YOU ALL WANTED TO HIT ME? I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO GET RID OF ME? HAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHA!! NONE OF YOU IS STEPPING FORWARD, NOW? WHY IS THAT?”

  None of the students responded. They all felt the intensity of my hatred seeping off my tone, and that scared them even more.

  *Step step step*

  I started walking aggressively towards a boy student on my north side.

  “S-STAY AWAY!! STAY AWAAAAAYYY!!!”

  He’s screaming in fear, and his face looks like that of a crying baby.

  Ah! HOW SATISFYING!

  I close my face towards his and stare deeply into his eyes with my nightmarish eyes.

  The boy was afraid, but now he just stayed silent, not moving his body at all. I slowly turn my head around towards all of them.

  “Who’s next?”

  I quickly ran towards a female student on my east side and stared into her eyes. She, too, became stunned and stayed completely still.

  “NEXT!!”

  “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!”

  “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!”

  “EVERYONE, RUUUUUUUUUUNNNNN!!!”

  After seeing all of the students who came into contact with my eyes stay completely still, the rest of the students started panicking and scattered away inside the classroom. They all ran in random directions, trying to be as far away as possible from me.

  “GUYS, THE DOOR!!”

  “RIGHT!! EVERYONE, THE DOOORR!!!”

  At that signal, every student inside this classroom collectively tried to go towards the door, and it became chaotic, seeing how many students tried to open the door while the students behind them were pushing them hard, disrupting the students in the front row in their attempts to unlock the door.

  *GRAHK*

  The door broke because of how intense the students were, and the first few students immediately left the classroom.

  Meanwhile, I kept closing in on random students in the classroom and stunned them one by one, not allowing them to leave.

  “HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA!!”

  I was laughing so arrogantly because of my new profound power. I think of myself as above everyone else at that point. Though I don’t feel guilty at all for feeling like this. For years of my life, I have never been truly appreciated by the people that I long for the most, my father and mother. I am thankful for my butlers and maids who took care of me, but at school, my friends, who I thought would be on my side, ignored me instead. Then they found out the circumstances around my birth, and they started treating me like garbage.

  I HATE THEM!

  I AM GOING TO PUT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM IN MY NIGHTMARE!!

  EVEN IF I GOT SUSPENDED OR EVEN KICKED OUT OF THIS SCHOOL, I WILL STALK THEM AND TERRORIZE THEM IN THEIR HOMES!

  I’LL LET THEM KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO BE TREATED BY THEM LIKE GARBAGE THIS WHOLE TIME!!

  I HATE THEM! I HATE THEM! I HATE THEM! I HATE THEM!

  Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

  I HATE THEEEEEEEEEEEEMMMMMMMM!!!

  I continue to stun many of the students one by one. Until I turned around and looked at someone, and I was so shocked that it wasn’t a student.

  “L-Luna?”

  “M-Mother?”

  My mind completely went blank. Out of everyone who’s currently in this class, my mother certainly was not one of them.

  What is she doing here?

  Why did she come?

  Of all the days that she would come visit the school, and it's today?

  The day that everyone is picking on me.

  Wait, is she trying to pick me up?

  If so, then I feel very happy that my mother finally decided to come to me.

  She was in the middle of some sort of rehab, yet she decided that she wanted to see me.

  That makes me incredibly happy.

  But that happy feeling does not last long.

  Because the moment I realized that it was my own mother, it was too late. I had already stared deeply into her eyes and put her inside her own nightmare.

  “. . .”

  “Mother. . .?”

  She doesn’t answer me.

  My mind immediately spirals badly. When I think of what my mother feared the most in life, it has to be that incident. My face immediately went frowning, and I was filled with fear, thinking that my mother had to go through that nightmare again because of me.

  My body is shaking, and I became so scared, I don’t know what to do. I keep thinking to myself to find a solution, but then a certain knowledge suddenly pops into my head. It seems like there are ways to be freed from my stun, and the most effective one is by physically obstructing them.

  I started grabbing her shoulders and shaking her entire body.

  “Mother? Mother! Mother? Are you there? Mother!”

  After shaking her multiple times, she finally snaps out of it.

  “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”

  But as soon as she saw me, she started screaming very loudly.

  “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”

  “M-MOTHER!! WHAT’S WRONG, MOTHER?”

  “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”

  She screams even louder, and she also pushes me away violently.

  *thud*

  I fell on my butt on the floor. Then I saw my own mother curl sideways down on the floor, holding her head with both of her hands as she also covered her face with her forearms.

  “M-Mother?”

  “STAY AWAY FROM ME!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”

  “. . .”

  Those words hurt my heart to the core. I felt rejected so harshly, and it feels like my soul was harmed violently.

  My eyes returned to normal quickly. I saw many butlers and maids suddenly come to the classroom despite the chaos, where my classmates were trying to leave. They attend to my mother and take her away gently. Some of the butlers and maids also take my hands to pick me up from school.

  There are two different cars outside the school gate. My mother was put into a different car than I, and we are driving home. While on the way, I asked my butlers and maids about what my mother was doing here in the first place. They explained to me that my mother wants to meet me for the first time and properly raise me as a mother. I couldn’t be more shocked and surprised.

  My mother wanted to meet me?

  She wanted to properly act as my mother from now on?

  I started shedding tears silently without anyone noticing.

  *sobs sobs*

  My mother finally wanted me.

  I am finally wanted.

  *sobs sobs*

  But then I screwed that up. I just made my own mother experience her hellish trauma again.

  *sobs sobs*

  All because I was drunk and consumed by my own power and arrogance. I am so ashamed of myself.

  *sobs sobs*

  Why doesn’t everything ever work out in my favor? Why does something always happen that ruins my future with my parents?

  *sobs sobs*

  I was merely fighting back because those awful people ganged up on me. I was not in the wrong to protect myself.

  *sobs sobs*

  Yet somehow, I hurt my mother because of it.

  Why?

  Why does this happen?

  If this is how my life is right now, what’s gonna happen in the future?

  *sobs sobs*

  I have explained to my butlers and maids what happened just before my mother arrived, including the fact that I am now a Believer.

  As I kept lost in my own thoughts, we all reached ‘home’, if I can even call it that. My mother was soon carried to her room. I was also accompanied by our butlers and maids to my room.

  Inside my room, I just lie down on my bed and stare blankly at the ceiling above. I keep contemplating my next course of action.

  I really should apologize to my mother, but I bet she doesn’t even wanna see me after that.

  *BRAK*

  Suddenly, my father slams open the door to my room with enough force to actually crack the expensive and sturdy wood that it's made of. His hand turned red and bled a little. His face looks furious, way more intense than anything I’ve ever seen from him. It is as if he’s looking at the same person who hurt my mother that cursed night. He curls his right into a fist so hard that I can see the veins on his forearm appearing visibly on the skin.

  “WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST DO TO MY WIFE?”

  “I-IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!! I AWAKENED MY FAITH POWER BECAUSE MY ENTIRE CLASSMATE BULLIED ME!! SO I WENT AFTER THEM, AND THEN EVERYONE WAS SCATTERED, RUNNING AWAY FROM ME!! DURING THE CHAOS, I TRIED TO USE MY FAITH POWER ON THEM, BUT THEN I TURNED AROUND. MOTHER WAS SOMEHOW BEHIND ME, SO I ACCIDENTALLY USED MY FAITH POWER ON HER!!”

  I plead to my father as I put my hands together, begging for his mercy. I know it’s pointless, but the human instinct forced me to do this as I was so very scared being directly in front of my angered father.

  *BRAAAKKK*

  My father kicks the wall next to him in anger.

  “DO YOU FUCKING REALIZE THAT EVERY TIME YOU MAKE TROUBLES, IT IS GOING TO AFFECT ME AND MY JOB? IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO MY POSITION AT MY JOB, DO YOU WANNA TAKE OVER THE ROLE AS THE PROVIDER INSTEAD, OR SOMETHING? I AM SO FUCKIN FED UP WITH YOU MAKING TROUBLES EVERY SO OFTEN!! I AM SO FED UP!!”

  “B-BUT FATHER!! I WAS BULLIED!! I WAS MERELY FIGHTING BACK!! THIS ISN’T MY FAULT!!”

  *BAAAMM*

  “AARRGGHH!!”

  I was suddenly punched by a fully grown man in my right cheek.

  *THUD*

  The force of the punch made the back of my head crash against the floor.

  “DON’T YOU FUCKING DARE CALL ME FATHER, YOU PIECE OF FILTH!!”

  *PTHEW*

  My father spat on my face, and his face looked very disgusted by my presence at the moment.

  “YOUR REAL FATHER IS THE PIECE OF GARBAGE THAT HURT MY WIFE!! LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT WITH YOU!!”

  Father approaches me and grabs my collar really hard and violently. He lifts me up and makes my body hang in the air just from his grip. He moves his eyes closer to mine, and I can see the hatred glowing from them.

  “YOU ARE A CHILD OF THE DEVIL!! YOUR BIRTH WAS NOT SOMETHING ANYONE LOOKED FORWARD TO!! AND NOBODY WAS EXPECTING YOU TO EXIST ANYTIME IN THIS WORLD!!”

  “. . .”

  I couldn’t say anything.

  My father finally said the things that would hurt me the most.

  I shed tears without even realizing it right in front of him.

  “Don’t you fucking dare cry! You don’t deserve to cry! My wife was the one who needed to shed those tears, for she was the one who suffered the most! YOU DON’T DESERVE TO LIVE!! NOBODY WANTS YOU!!”

  My father continues to wound my heart. He keeps saying the things that I wish I wouldn’t hear at all.

  I guess he’s right, though.

  This is not my father at all.

  My father is the piece of shit who harmed my mother.

  That makes things much easier.

  I don’t care about him anymore.

  Only mother.

  I don’t know what to see his face any longer.

  It is time to say goodbye.

  I love all the maids and butlers in this house, but I’m going to cause trouble for them soon in the future if I stay here.

  Leaving my mother would be painful, but at the same time, she’ll probably feel more hurt if she sees my face.

  Her face when she saw me at the school was too painful to look at.

  I’m pretty sure I’m going to remember her painful expression for the rest of my life.

  Goodbye mother.

  I am sorry that I hurt you.

  “. . .”

  I activated my Faith power and stunned my mother’s husband in place. I drop to the floor safely from his grip and leave the room.

  I made my way towards the butlers' and maids' room, and they were all worried about me. I smiled that I have so many people who care about me. I gave my last words to them as I said farewell.

  They were all so reluctant to see me leave, but at the same time, they knew that my mother’s husband would be a lot more violent to me in the future, especially after they saw the wound on my face.

  They quickly packed me a small suitcase filled to the brim with clothes enough for an entire month. It took almost five minutes to prepare the suitcase, so I ran back towards my room. I see that he was freed, so I quickly stunned him again for another five minutes.

  I ran back towards all the butlers and maids, but I went past my mother’s bedroom. I stopped and leaned against the door. I started whispering without knocking.

  “Mother. I am so sorry for using my Faith power on you. I’ve hurt you because of it. I promise I will never show my face around you for the rest of my life. Goodbye mother. And thank you for giving birth to me.”

  I heard no response, so I simply walked away. I went outside after I carried the small suitcase from my butlers and maids.

  This is where my lone and hard life begins.
