Supreme - Chapter 1 - Carmen Phoenix

I hate having to hide but I have to. I mean, would you really want to go into the open with something that made you a complete freak? I don't want to feel more like a freak than I already do. Unlike many who claim to be a freak I actually have a good reason to label myself this way. You see - I have super powers. I have fairy-like powers and I can harness the power of any animal. It sounds cool to have this power but it's just a mutation. There's no real enjoyment in it at all. I can see why people would want to take advantage of their powers but to be exposed would completely destroy me. I'll be looked upon with contempt for sure.

I don't want Doug to think of me in that way. I've loved him since forever. I don't have to guts to admit it - who would? We've been best friends for the best part of an eternity. Besides, he would never fancy me when he's got Liza Marx after him. The bitch almost has him round her little finger. She keeps getting him to change his plans to suit her needs. He doesn't do it to me. It's sweet but I can tell that he would much rather be with her no matter how well he lies. I have to watch and wait in the shadows of darkness. I have to witness the coming days of their union and it tears me apart. I wish I could just come clean and tell him just how much I care. I wish I could expose what I have without shame and can express my feelings without scrutiny. These are just wishes. They come true in fairy tales but not in real life. Not my life anyway.
