“Mom? Have you been drinking again?” I asked when I turned around she was sitting at the table with her head in her hands.

                “Mom? Have you been drinking again?” I asked again.

                “Yessss.” She slurred. “I can’t help it, I can’t cook for my family, I can’t use my powers, what am I good for now.” She mumbled.

                “Mom, I will need you no matter what.” I said giving her a hug. “Now no more alcohol, I’m dumping all of it, okay.” I said as I walked to the liquor cabinet and started pulling bottles out. Mom watched as I poured them one by one down the drain. I took all the bottles outside to the barn to put them in the recycling bin.

                “Hey, Seth.” I said when I opened the door. I heard him hit his head on the tractor.

                “Ouch, What?!” He hollered.

                “Sorry, are you okay.” I said kneeling next to him.

                “Yeah.” He said rubbing his forehead.

                “Let me see.” I said pulling his hand away.

                “No I’m fine.”

                “Come on. Let me look.”

                “No.”

                “I won’t hurt you, just let me look.” I said as I pulled on his hand and he pulled back, I let go and he smacked himself in the head and hit the back of his head on the tractor.

                “Oh my god, I’m so sorry.”

                “I told you I was fine.” He growled.

                “Hey, I need a favor.”

                “What?”

                “Will you keep an eye on my mom when you’re here?”

                “Why, I’m here to work in the barn, not to babysit.”

                “Please, I think she’s becoming an alcoholic.”

                “Huh?”

                “This is the third time I’ve come home and she’s drunk or almost drunk.”

                “Well, I guess I could pop in on her every once in a while.”

                “Thanks, I owe you one.”

                “No, you owe me two. One for looking after your mom and two for making me hit my head twice.”

                “Okay, fine.” I said and sauntered out of the barn. I walked into the house got mom settled into the couch and went upstairs. ‘Finally I can stop pretending’ I said as I took off the necklace that blocked me from using my powers. I could feel the power surge through me. A thousand thoughts came at me at once, none of them my own. I could feel my canines grow into sharp points; my green eyes flashed bright emerald green. I could feel my wings push through my skin. The pain in my head was increasing every second. I let a hellacious scream. One voice rang out in my mind.

                “What are you doing? You promised!” it was my dad.

                “I’m sorry!” I screamed.

                “Charisma?!” Seth was in the doorway and my mom was coming up the stairs behind him. My mom ran to me and hold me until my transformation was complete.

                “Seth. Stop!” My mom yelled at him before he could walk away. I stopped screaming and collapsed completely in my mom’s arms.

                “What’s going on? What’s happening to her?” He asked stunned.

                “She’s a wild power.” My mom stated.
