Wyvern: Acension

Glenwood City Wisconsin
Tyler's room
Friday Night
7:00pm

It’s quiet tonight. I thought. My parents must have gone to bed early. It was six weeks after the growths started to protrude from my right hand. This, along with searing pain in my back and what can only be described as “night fires,” were becoming too much to handle.

The walls on my room were blank. The night fires were getting bad and I didn’t want to break any more of my pictures. The light from the hallway crept in, barely illuminating my face. I tried to keep my lights off in case someone were to come in and see my exposed hand.

I was on my sixteenth pair of gloves. Why do they keep getting bigger? I asked to myself. My hand; the fingers had started to grow small scale like splotches and small spikes protruded from the knuckles. I don’t think that gloves will be able to cover them anymore…
I couldn’t sleep; I was more awake than usual. Yesterday I think my father saw my hand. I took the glove off for a few seconds just to see how bad it was, and my dad was outside the window. He left pretty quickly, so it was hard to tell if he saw it. He hadn’t mentioned it at all, but he had a very concerned face for the rest of the day.

It will be okay. I would tell myself. I knew that something was eventually going to happen. I heard the stories about the government being in a state of emergency because of “special” people; and this was all I could do to keep calm.

I will admit that my dad’s silence had me a little on edge, but even he had to know that the government would only make things worse...he had to...

*CREEEEEEEEEEEEEeeek*

The sound made me jump. It was my cat Kitters coming in thorough my partially opened door.

“You scared me, little kitty.” I said half laughing. She let out a soft mew, then proceeded to jump to my lap.

“I can always trust you with my secrets.” I said, softly stroking her silky fur from her head to end of her tail. “I really wish this wasn’t happening…”

*CRASH*

The sound of broken glass emanated throughout the house. Skitters dashed out through the doorway, terrified by the noise.

Suddenly I was surrounded by three men dressed in what seemed like body suits and gas masks. They had somehow crashed through my bedroom window.

“This is the one,” Yelled the man closest to me. “Look at his hand! We’re takin ya in kid. Your daddy told us all about your little problem.”

Sadness gripped me like ice running through my veins. How could he? Was there really no other way they could have handled the situation?

The second man reached out his hand intending to grab me. I instinctively recoiled and started to back away. “What’s the matter? Don’t ya want to see Mommy and Daddy , little boy,” he said with an annoyed tone.

“What to do you mean?” I yelped. “What did you do with my parents?!”
“Nothing,” he said, “Yet! Our orders were to round up all the freaks and their families. Your parents were easy, didn’t even put up a fight. Just took all the beatings without so much as a peep. Well, probably because we knocked em out.” He stated this with a glint of satisfaction in his eye.

Rage… That was all I felt. The ice of sadness shattered into a burning hatred for the men standing in front of me.

Fire blast through my lungs and out my open mouth. At first I thought the heat was going to kill me, but that passed when all there was was a tingling sensation.

"GAAAAGH!!" Screams emanated from two of the three men that had surrounded me. They flailed in futile desperation. One of the men landed on my bed, immediately lighting the sheets on fire. The mad closest to me just stood there and watched in horror as his two comrades burned.

I, however, was not startled. Rage still burned inside me. I lunged at the remaining man and attempted to slash him with my right hand's claws
