Despicable meaning::Morally reprehensible ,slimy,Unworthy,evil,worthless and all other cruel words you can use.

They always associate her with those word.

At school,at the library,in the supermarket , EVERYWHERE.

She could hear gossips and mumurs as she walks down the market aisle,people pointing fingers at her direction, not even scared to do that at her presence.

They were mischievious smiles,glances,giggles, evil stares that pierced right into her soul.

Please ,not right now, please!!

But it happened anyways,she should be used to it by now but today was different, she had some important stuffs to attend to but as usual the bullies were at it again.

They weren't here to pick a fight,they just wanted her to get angry,get deep down to her nerves.

I can do this, I'll control it,it wont happen here not now,never again, i have been through this before, i was taught to control it,i can do this

I CAN DO THIS!!!

The words echoed through the hallway but before she could realise how loud her thoughts were, the students were already gathered around her expecting a block buster. The were raining curses,calling her all sorts of names.

"witch,devil,witch,witch,demon,witch,devil,serpent,cursed soul,witch,serpent"

The words were echoing through her ears her heart pounding ,her pulse rising. ,her blood boiling, anger surfaced ,blocked all emotions,the anxiousness she was feeling vanished replaced with pure anger with the urge to maim,kill,hunt. She was changing, she was transforming,her skin was ripping,claws stretching out,bones cracking, eyeballs changing shape,colours and size. She closed her eyes trying to fight the emotions flooding through her,trying to conceal the anger,she was exposed before and almost banished. She didn't want that again,she wants to go home,relax in her mothers arm,hear some sweet bed time stories,gather at the family dining hall where laughter and noise filled the air. A place where she was really accepted, welcomed shown absolute love and attention..... bones stopped cracking,craws, concealed back in,skin stopped ripping,pulse stopped rising,heartbeat became steady,anger vanished replaced with sadness,curiosity, and anxiousness. She calmed her nerves down.

I DID IT....... I ACTUALLY DID IT

Excitement flowed through her and adrenaline rushed through her. Opened her eyes to meet the same bullies startled. They were surprised how she didn't change form,their moods instantly changed from startled to fear.

She could hear their heartbeat,feel their pulse rising,she knew they were scared.

NOW, Its my turn!

She took a step closer,they stepped back

"Please, we didn't mean to" 1st bully

"We are... We're so so.. sorry" 2nd bully

"Pls,s.... sp... spare us" 3rd bully

She chuckled,using their situation as an advantage.

A step closer,two steps back. They were scared, another step closer until they were two feet apart, her eyes lit up, (something her master taught her)lit up like an ignited fire.

They were shocked,never seen something so extraordinary as this, stood still at a point couldn't decide what to do. It like their body refused to move.

Like a statue they stood,sweats dripping down their face like waterfalls, she brought her right hand up about to do something tricky. They instantly fell to their kneels. In a deep low voice she said

"GO".

They scrumbled to their feet and ran like a gush of wind. She looked around the hall it was deserted but she could still hear whimpers,heartbeat. She smiled to herself and left the hallway.

Eight years ago....

It was a cool sunny afternoon ,rustling of leaves,chirping of birds could be heard and made man wonder how nature made the combination so calm and peaceful,beautiful,siren,pure,fresh natural.

Sounds of running feet could be heard as two beautiful children were playing in the lovely,well kept garden. Laughter,noises could be heard as they run around playing 'catch'. They ran as fast as their little feet can carry them.

They ran out of breath and fell on the grass.

Breathing heavily, they laid still on the grass trying to catch their breath.

ANGELA: Oh wow, that was fun.

LUCY: yeah, we could try that again.

ANGELA: sure we could but am feeling so weak.

LUCY : Me too, let go. Its almost dinner time, Mother would be expecting us.

ANGELA: True (struggling to get up)

LUCY: come on Angela, hurry

ANGELA: Coming,(paused half way) did you hear that?. Lucy, Lucy LUUCCYY!!!!!. 😳 Oh my ,she sure has fast feet.

Walking towards the door she could hear movements,fast,fast, now slow steady she turned to look behind her and was immersed in complete darkness.

ANGELA: HELP, HELP, SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!

There was total darkness,darkness,she couldn't see, there were muffed sounds,she was been dragged on the floor, her body ached,itched,burnt from being dragged all the way into the unknown. Then it stopped, she stayed still. Feet moving towards her, she remained still scared of what would appear in front of her. Quiet,dead silence.

The material covering her face was removed and she could see,squinting her eyes to see properly,she realises she was in the middle of the woods with no entry nor exit. Scared she screamed at the top of her lungs but her screams was muffled by the tape covering her mouth. Tears filled her eyes,she was scared,shivering ,anxious of what would happen next. She heard a low growl and turned to face the sound, the tape was removed from her mouth.

"Wh.... Who are you. Wha.... Wha.... What d.. do you want".

"Please let me go,i need to get back home"

Tears filled her eyes as the words came out of her mouth.

"Don't be scared, little one"

whimpering she tried to break lose,but all in vain. She was weak,exhausted,tired,her body was hurting.

"Calm down, little one"

Calm down!!!!

You dare ask me to calm down , after dragging me on my back to what seem like forever into this freaky,scary woods. Looking around it felt more scarier.

"Tying me up like a freaking criminal, i don't even know you, i cant see you".

"Come out of the shadows ". I dare you!!!

And out he came,she heaved, her breathing became increasingly fast,fast, she couldn't control it. He came forward,knelt down beside her,his eyes glowed in an unusual way. He lips parted like he was trying to say something, his tongue, his tongue. Her breathing was fast her pulse rised,she was heaving,panting heavily,his mouth came closer to her body, she shut her eyes screaming, yelling for help.....

Panting heavily, sweaty, she woke up. Her sheets all soaked from the terrible nightmare

Its just a dream

No

No it wasn't a dream. It was an incident she could never forget. The one that changed her.

She stood up went into the bathroom and washed up. Came back into her bedroom and stumbled on a photo frame by the bedside drawer.

(Glass shatters)....... She picked it up and saw her beautiful family picture. Tears flooded her eyes as she traced her fingers down the photo. She could remember her mother's warm touch,her fathers voice, her brother hiding in the dark away from her,trembling his heart beating heavily. That night,that same night,the night she killed her own family.

Memories of that sad day came flooding, she burst out in tears. She missed them so much, she couldn't remember what tempted her to do so. She was blinded by the urge to maim and kill. She wept for what felt like an hour and tried to calm herself down. Laid her head down on the bed and drifted to sleep.....

Woke up to the sound of the street clock, Angela squinted her eyes and adjusted to the other side of the bed,weak and tired she got up lazily and walked into the bathroom to clean up, she stood in front of the mirror and noticed how puffy her under eye was, she brushed her teeth, took her bath and headed out to her room when she stepped on the glass shattered on the floor.

"Sighs"

She picked up a broom and swept the remaining glasses. She sat on the edge of her bed to tend to her injured feet and noticed the wound has vanished.

"Oh , i forgot, I'm a

Angela!!!!!!

Turning her head towards the door to see who was calling her.

ANGELA:: who is it

LUCY:: Are you expecting someone else?

She knew who it was, the only family she has left,her best friend 'lucy'.

ANGELA:: Lucy!Is that you?

LUCY: No, i am an angel,sent from above to heal you of your impurities, would you get the hell up and let me in or I'll break this door myself.

ANGELA :(laughing ) Alright, alright am coming.

LUCY: Finally Angela,what took you so long( examining the room)

ANGELA: (still smiling)nothing

LUCY: What happened here (pointing to the pieces of glasses).

She went to her bedside drawer and showed her the photo,explained what happened the previous night and started shivering.

ANGELA:I just want to go back to been a normal teenager. I want to live a normal life. Pls Lucy, don't leave me you are all I've got left. You are my only family.

LUCY: I won't leave you sweetheart, I'll stick with you till we can find a solution. By the way have you spoken to Mr Harris?

ANGELA: yeah i did and guess what,he taught me how to control it

LUCY: Really, that's awesome. But, do you really think that's the next thing to do.

ANGELA:Yes it is,we still haven't found a way to cure it so i need to learn how to control it, but it feels like there's more to this thing.

LUCY: Hope its good though.

ANGELA: Oh shoot,shoot,i have to go see Mr Harris, he said to tell me more on this.

They were stares,rumors,whispers..

"Whatever"....

The whispers,stares,stares, mumurs didn't have much effect on her. She walked down the sloppy path and came across an old building at the end of the path close to the woods. Walked up to the porch and knocked on the creepy door.

'Door creaks' she went into the building and was greeted by darkness.

"Mr Harris, you said you wanted to inform me abou..... "

"Yes, i got informed from the council members and i was told your abductor was actually a rogue. He was banished from the colony for using his powers wrongly. He wanted revenge and in other to do that he needed soldiers to be stronger and you are one of them.

ANGELA: (startled) One of them!! You mean there's....

MR HARRIS: More of you! There's more of your kind and we need to find them. The earlier,the better.

ANGELA: What do you mean by 'the earlier,the better'.

MR HARRIS: We need to find them ASAP because just like you they feed on chaos,strife.. ANGELA: Destruction?

EXACTLY!

Both head snapped towards the direction of the voice and a member of the council was spotted.

Hello,you must be one of them,My name is Jackson Hale.

ANGELA: Nice to meet you Mr Jackson. JACKSON: Oh please call me jack. Nice work you have done here Harris, she seems defenseless. Not like the others.

ANGELA: What others, don't tell me that JACKSON; You guessed right child,there are more of your kind ruthless,dangerous. MR HARRIS: They are like the evil version of us.

ANGELA: Like the darkside. JACKSON; hmmm

ANGELA: But Mr Harris taught me on how i can control it. Maybe he could show the others too...

MR HARRIS: That is the main problem,"how to find them". We have searched everywhere we could we haven't spotted them.

JACKSON: We have sent our guards to different location. We should be getting news anytime soon.

ANGELA: While we are waiting for the response what can i do to help.

MR HARRIS: You just need to practise your calm state learn to control your shifts and the urge to kill will disappear appear.

JACKSON: Have you been noticing any changes lately.

ANGELA: Aside from seeing things clearly,hearing distant sound,not getting enough sleep,not feeding well,always running into the woods for no particular reason,ability to heal faster than a normal person. NO. Have you?

JACKSON: Well not exactly,except your face is looking paler than before when i arrived. Are you feeling alright?

ANGELA: Ye.. Yes i am. Actually am feeling weaker. What's wrong?

MR HARRIS: Take a seat,you look dehydrated. Should i get you some water?

ANGELA:(coughs) no,not really thank you. (In deep voice) I NEED BLOOD!!

JACKSON ;What's happening, i thought you taught her how to control it.

MR HARRIS: I did actually but it seems as if she is been controlled.

JACKSON: Controlled? But by who and how.

"By me you fools"

MR HARRIS: How dare you come back here after being banished.

JACKSON: (Whispers) I'll call for backup.

"Don't tell me you are calling those council members and their dogs as backup , Pathetic. You all aren't a match for me not to talk of my soldiers".

MR HARRIS: Holy...... How did he make so many of those??

"Are you seriously asking me that question,i am triple the powers you all possess. I am darkside.I came to retrieve what i have lost.

ERIC: Which is....

The Alpha..

RITA: (laughs) No way are you going to rule us.

"And who is going to stop me

"We are".

DOMINIC: we are all,as the leader and ruler of this. We will join hands and and defeat you.

(Laughs) with your tiny little packs of untrained you are no match for me.

ANGELA: And he is..

All : Gerrard!!!

MR HARRIS: Your abductor.

ANGELA;: You ugly thing. Look at what you've done to me. You made me despicable!!!

GERRARD:: Really,it was actually a gift,never thought you would turn.But you did,so proud. You have grown girl.

ANGELA: It was not a gift and i am not your girl.

GERRARD: Of course you are,i am your master. Bow down before me!!!

JACKSON: What do we do know,she has no control over it.

RITA: We fight. (Claws scratches)

ANGELA: oh no, what have i done.

GERRARD: You did what you have to do.

ANGELA: By causing pain,chaos...

GERRARD: we were made to destroy.

ANGELA: I don't want to be evil,i don't want it. Please,let me live a normal life. I want to become a normal teenager.

GERRARD: You have to accept it. It was in your destiny to be like this. There's nothing i can do to change you back to normal.

ANGELA: Oh my,i don't want to be a monster forever. There should be something i can do to neutralize the urge to kill.

GERRARD: I am sorry,i don't know how. ANGELA: Wait,where are you going..... Oh my what am i going to do.. She bends down over Mr Harris body lying on the floor,feeling sad she held his hand and wished for him to come back to life. It worked,she actually healed him. She went over Jackson's body and did the same thing by this time she conversed all her energy into his and he was breathing again. She did so to all council members and they were shocked to see what she could do.

She remembered what she told her best friend "There's actually more to this"..... And there actually is. She was no longer scared of who she was. She has finally accepted herself for who she is. There is an advantage in disadvantage. She became a healer...and was helpful to mankind. She was finally at peace...

Thank you.......
