Chapter 1 - Chapter One: When everything changes. My name is Lisa Lane this is the story of how I became the best version of myself

I was having the best day of my life I felt like time stopped, I was at the scene where my parents were.

A few hours ago.

I was preparing for my tenth birthday I wore a "retro princess puff sleeves starry prom evening dress" I felt so alive because my parents would focus on me. Two years after I was born my family adopted a girl her name is Maria Lane who was four years older than me they put their attention on her instead of me my parents would take her to many places for vacations I always felt that my parents loved me dearly that is why they wanted to protect me from the world. I was never allowed to leave home on any occasion and I was homeschooled I felt like my house was a cage at times but couldn't understand why my parents did that I always wore contacts lens since I was five because I had complete heterochromia since I was born and my parents didn't want anyone to find out even his siblings besides my uncle who my father trusted the most who cared about me genuinely so whenever we had visitors in the I wasn't allowed to see any visitors except my uncle. But what I didn't know was that I was going to be a danger to the world.

I was getting ready in my room when my sister said my dad was calling me so I ran down the stairs and went to him. When I saw my dad I asked him if he was calling me and he said that he wanted to come to my room but he was not calling he called my mom and my mom came and she replied "Yes" and she came and saw me and she said "Wow you look beautiful my dear I wonder how you grew up so fast " She then removed her necklace she always wore and wore it for me and said that I should never take it off that and said that she loved me dearly. My dad took off his bracelet which he always wore and gave it to me and told me never to take it off. When I left to finish getting my hair tied into a bun and ran down the stairs and saw my cousin Max Lane and my sister. So I went to meet and my sister said she wanted to talk to me in the hall where my party was going to be held when we reached the hall she told me "Lisa wait for me I am going to get you something " she said she then left and I was waiting then Max came and asked me where Maria was I told him she said she was coming back he then told me to follow him that he wanted to give me a gift for my birthday and I followed him and we went to the guest room and he brought out at a kitten and told me it was my birthday surprise I was so overjoyed that I hugged him and we kept the kitten the room and went back to the hall as we were going down the stair we both heard fighting noises and we ran quickly to the hall and my cousin hid me and him behind a pillar and said we couldn't fight so we had to hide. We saw my mom and daddy with some guards in the house fighting with some strange-looking men and they were fighting trying to harm mom who was fighting the other men suddenly a beam of light flashed through my eyes and when the beam of light stopped I saw my mom and dad were lying on the floor lifeless I ran to them and I killed all the strange looking men by just looking at them and they all died I was so enraged that I burnt everything around me while I was holding my parents who were both holding hands and suddenly felt a hand on me and everything became blank.

When I woke up.

I felt a sharp pain in my chest and as soon as I opened my eyes as saw my uncle looking at me and I sat on the bed and asked my uncle if my dad and mom were waiting for me that I fell asleep and I told him that I had a bad dream that my parents were dead that was it true he told me that I had slept for a week that my parents were dead that he was sorry that he didn't come fast when they were in danger and I started crying and blaming him that why didn't he come to help my dad and mom when they needed him the most that why did he do that that I waited for you and I asked where my cousin was he said that "He is downstairs "

I told him that I wanted to go meet them and see if they were okay. I told my uncle why did I kill those men by looking at them that was I the one who killed my parents when they were already fighting for their life that why did I do that and he told me to calm down and that I needed a clear mind to be able to face everyone. My uncle said that my grandma was upset with me because she thought that I was the one who killed my parents, I was shocked that why would my grandma think like that I asked my uncle "Am I a monster who kills their family member?"

"Uncle do I have powers," I asked he said yes and I had to keep that a secret from my other family members.

"I will protect you from them however I can," he said. He then told me to freshen up and come downstairs for breakfast that he was waiting for me .
