<span style="font-style: italic">A young woman who on her 18th birthday is told by her parents that she was adopted. To top it off she's told that her special talent will start awakening now that she was a young adult. At first the girl doesn't know what they meant by that. But when she loses her cool at school one day the windows shattered and things started flying around. She runs off without looking back and runs to a town of misfits and thieves.</span><br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz260/TimeKeys/HQ_Fantasy_8312-1.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/>Lili Mason<br/>18<br/><br/>Lili wakes on the day of her eighteenth birthday. It was early still. A quick run through the shower. Dressing in a beautiful dress (see picture) and doing her hair up into a beautiful fancy braided style. And then applying lip gloss to make her lips shimmer. Packing her things into a purse that she'd need. Cell phone left on the nightstand. House keys into the front pouch of her book bag. Books and other things needed for school into the backpack. And into the purse went all of her money inside her wallet. And her pair of sunglasses her buddy Neil bought her before he left to live in a far away city.<br/><br/>She heads down the stairs and is called over by her parents. "Yes mom? Yes dad?" she says softly. Wondering why her mother was dabbing her eyes with tissues.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Her mother sniffles and looks at her. "Oh dear. Do we have to tell her? I don't want my precious child hating me." she asks softly.</span><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Her father looks at his wife. Holding her to him comfortingly. "Yes...we do. The time has come to tell her the truth Vivian. She needs to know."</span><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Her mother nods her head meekly. "Darling first I want you to know we love you very much. And we always will. We will love you until the end of our days." she breaks down into tears yet again.</span><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Her father looks at her. "Lili...we are not your real parents. We adopted you when you were left upon our doorsteps with nothing but a pendant locket and note. The note said we were to not tell you about you being adopted until your eighteenth birthday. The reason why is in the note it was written that you will have powers beginning to awaken on this day." he sighs. "That is all we know."</span><br/><br/>Lili looks at them. Trying to take this all in. Eyes wide and a hand shoots to the necklace upon her neck. (see picture at bottom) And she shakes her head. "Mom. Dad. I don't have time for this. I need to get to school." she says. And hurries out the door. Hearing her mother saying something about I fear we won't be seeing her again. She shrugs it off. Her parents were always so weird. Powers? What the hell had they been smoking?<br/><br/><div style="text-align: center;">~~~~~~~Two hours later~~~~~~~</div><br/><br/>Lili was walking towards her locker. She was very intelligent and this had her targeted by the biggest of the bullies...Reno. And today was no exception. She hears his voice.<span style="font-weight: bold">"Hey pipsqueak. Your gonna do my homework."</span>She looks at him. "No. I'm not." she says definetly. And goes to walk away. Reno shoves her hard into the locker.<span style="font-weight: bold">"I don't believe I was asking you bitch. Your gonna do my homework. Or I'm gonna beat the shit outta you."</span>She shakes her head. "No. I'm. Not." she says to him. Eeking as he backhanded her hard. She felt him hit her over and over again. Then something....snapped.<br/><br/>Her eyes closed and when they opened a silvery white light was glowing in them. "YOU WILL LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!" she screams. The energy waved off her in circular ripples. Lockers began to fly open and shut over and over again. The windows shattered into dust size pieces and when he hit her again he was sent flying by powers beyond her control. The bully named Reno flew out the window and down two stories to his death. Her eyes return to normal and hearing the whispers she turns and runs.<br/><br/>Runs down the stairs and out the front door of the school. Keeps running. She doesn't stop. Doesn't look back. Only having her purse across her body. And just kept running. She lost track of how long she ran. She only looked back over her shoulder once many, many, many miles from the school where the bully Reno was killed. She knew she was the cause of it. But she had no idea how she had done so. She killed him without laying a hand upon him. She ran until she could run no more. Panting on the outskirts of a city that just reeked of trouble. Seeing as she couldn't possibly go back she had to keep going forwards.<br/><br/>She enters the city and then walks. She was jumpy now. Panic filled her actions. She was going from the gotta run stage into the Oh My God. Stage. Where everything even her own shadow made her jump or flinch. She looks at the ground. Trying to be inconspicious. Hard to do when your wearing a colorful dress in a town of darkness.<br/><br/>~A messenger tells the king of thieves. The ruler of the city of a newcomer. And then vanishes into the darkness~
