The breeze picked up and I huddled closer to myself. The tears began to flow again as I thought of my mother still with that man. My hands curled into fists and struck the tree I was sitting against. "I hate him!" I shouted. My stomach roared and I held it tightly trying to make it smaller though no matter how small it was still empty. The last place I had gotten a meal was days behind me and the last thing I'd eaten was some berries I had stumbled upon.
"Why had she married him, couldn't she tell what kind of person he was?" My fist curled again. "If it wasn't for him we would be happy." Like we were when dad was still alive. My thoughts turned to my father and how he had taught me how to control a power no-one seemed to understand. First through games then when I finally had to start school telling me about it, straightforward and simple. I smiled and the wind around me picked up more. I felt weaker like energy had drained from me.
A small fire had started up a few paces away and I realized what happened. "I never thought of using it that way." oh no it might get out of control if I don't move some of the surrounding brush. I hurried to the move them and soon had the fire under control and rocks surrounding it. The fire felt nice no more cold nights I laid by it looking at the stars. Thanks father. I knew he was gone and would never come back but that didn't mean he wasn't watching over me. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep but my stomach made it hard.

As I walked in the woods thinking of what to do about the bounty on my head, my eyes caught a glimpse of a fire not to far from where I was and I moved closer and looked through my hood to see that there was a young boy all alone by a fire.
I then jumped in a tree so I could get a better look with out being seen and saw that he seemed tired and hungry. I then went into my pouch and took out an apple and threw it in front of him but I still kept myself hidden.

Ray was walking through the woods keeping an eye out for anyone who might jump him. He then saw a fire up ahead and decided to go check it out. When he got there he saw a young boy sitting near a fire, he looked very hungry so Ray walked over to see if he could help. “You look hungry; you shouldn’t starve yourself like this”. Ray then saw the apple on the ground; he didn’t know were it came from but figured it was harmless; he picked it up and handed it to the boy. “Here eat this, it’s not much but at least it’s something”.

I opened my eyes slowly as I heard a thud nearby. A boy that didn't look much older than myself was coming near me. He picked up an apple and offered it to me saying I looked hungery and that it wasn't much. I know that apple wasn't there before.....
"It's not like I was trying to." I said with venom in my voice. I snatched the apple from his hand and bit into it eagerly. It felt good on the way down and it calmed the rumbling. I stared at the boy intently as I continued to eat the apple as if he would suddenly take it from me.

The boy spoke to him with a bit of rudeness but Ray let it slide, he figured the boy hadn’t eaten in a few days. Ray watched the boy engulf the apple; he then put his hand on the back of his head and chuckled. “Don’t forget to swallow”. Ray then lowered his hand down. “Mind if I join you? Sometimes it’s good to have company and not be alone”.

I watched as another boy came and saw him pick up the apple and hand it to the one I threw it to and smiled as he bit into it eagerly after being a tad rude to the other one and then bite into it more. I heard the other boy talk and held back a little laugh and watched the two through my hood with my red eyes. The poor boy must have been really hungry...I wonder where his parents are.

Would it stop you if I said no? was the first thing I was going to say, but I changed my mind. It would be nice to have the company. Maybe it would get my mind off things. "Sure, if you "want" too." I replied still with a bit of venom I hadn't meant to be there. I moved over so he could sit closer to the fire and didn't have to go around me.

Ray saw that the boy still had some venom in his voice, but thought there had to be a good reason for it. So her sat down near the fire and stared at it for a bit. “I don’t know if you really care right now, but my name is Ray Striker”. Ray then looked at the boy. “You don’t need to tell me your name if you don’t want to”. He then looked back at the fire. “I take it, you’ve lost your family, or something else happened that made you leave from where ever you came from, normally you don’t see boy’s your age out on their own unless something bad must have happened. It probably doesn’t help much, but I know what it’s like”.

I didn't mind telling him my name.... it was when he continued that was what I didn't want to share. "Alteir." I said to the stranger I now knew as Ray Striker.
Does he really know what it's like.... maybe... he himself is out on his own. I didn't linger to long on these thoughts. I knew if I started in on my own story my power would come through and I didn't want that.
Maybe if I get him talking about himself he wont pressure me. "You've been on your own before?" the venom was finally gone from my voice. After saying it I was curious to hear what he was going to say.

I listened and heard both their names being told and smiled and then laugh quietly at the thought of what they might do when they find out I have been spying on them this whole time.
I then jumped in a tree and sat on a branch and looked at then and kept my eyes on both of them because I sensed great powers within them. Hmmm how can they have such powers at their age…I am an exception because I had a curse put on me. I then leaned in a little further and took a better look and knew that the one named Ray too has some type of curse upon him…while the other was born with his.
Just I was figuring this all out, the branch I was on snapped and I feel to the ground on my but and said “ouch…that hurt.”
