Unleashed

    As I paced around our new cell, with a breathtaking view of Earth, I was thinking desperately of an escape plan. We had come up with a few ideas, but they usually involved fighting our way to freedom against extremely strong Siephriers, which we thought was going to take a lot of work and energy that we didn't have. "I think we're all ignoring the elephant in the room. Kyla, do you mind telling us what exactly happened when you sort of bursted into light and defeated the Siepheriers?" asked Dr. Hubble. Everyone was looking at me now, a little nervous. 

I don't want to be seen as a monster, and I have no clue about what happened. "I... I don't know. I was just feeling so angry and frustrated and betrayed, and I guess all these emotions led to whatever happened, me becoming this monster. I just sometimes feel like I'm living in a void, living a life that I am not passionate about, especially when my father passed away. My life was perfect until it wasn't. Along the way, I had a loving mother and awesome friends, but it wasn't enough to pull me out of this endless hole. And after all these years, it got a little better, but I didn't know how to tell other people about it, I didn't know how to share, and I didn't know how to socialize. I guess I just unleashed the feelings that I have buried inside for too long," I answered with a sigh, feeling a lot better after sharing these thoughts. That was when I noticed everyone had gathered around me, smiling, while I had tears dripping off my face like raindrops. 

"I really feel for you. I never managed my life well, and you guys are the only family I have left," said Dr. Nakia. "Me too. I'm really touched by your story, Kyla. Always know that you have us to talk to and to cry and laugh over everything and anything," said Dr. Hubble. I felt warm inside and had the urge to have a group hug. "I have a crazy idea!" I exclaimed, "What if I used my power to defeat Mia and the Siephriers? Would that be possible?" And just like that, we came up with the best plan ever.
