The Demon Twin Inside of Me

Living my life as a princess is not all it’s cracked out to be. I’m constantly being watched and chauffeured around like I’m a child. I envision moments of traveling the world by myself, seeing new things and places, enjoying everything. Sometimes I wonder what my life would be if I wasn’t royalty. Shit sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be human. You see I’m a witch, but not just any witch. My mother is a very powerful witch while my father is a very powerful warlock, making them royalty in the supernatural world. They both inherited very powerful gifts from their parents and so forth. My mother, Nadine Crimson has the power of Conjuration. She has the power to make something materialize at will, whether it be inanimate objects, living beings, images, and even realistic illusions. She is truly powerful, and definitely scary if you ask me. Growing up, when I would try and sneak out, she would always scare me with a werewolf as if it was trying to attack me, making me fight it off and realizing that it was just an illusion. The way she can make things look so real is crazy. My father, David Crimson, has the power of Ergokinesis. The way he can control energy and manipulate it is amazing. He has the power to beam, which is teleportation through energy. He also has the power to disintegrate things into particles as well as using energy and creating weapons out of it, i.e. a ball of light or ray of light. I’ve seen my father in action, and he truly is amazing. The way he can form balls of energy in his hands, and how he can throw them and destroy things is truly unfathomable. The only problem is that my fathers powers also rely on his emotions too. He is at his best when his emotions are strong, but when he’s angry it could be disastrous. Then, there’s my younger brother by a year, who is absolutely annoying as s**t! He mainly uses his powers to piss me off, and they really piss me off. He has the ability to warp reality. He has the power to manipulate reality on a cosmic scale. He can change physical aspects of things and people, create dimensions, change people's memories, and even change the flow of time. The amount of time this boy has messed with my hair is insane! He made me bald when I was 12 because I wouldn’t play with him and his stupid friends. Not only can he warp reality, he also has the power of replication. I’ve woken up to my face so many times that I stopped sleeping in my bed. My brother thinks it’s so funny to replicate himself as me and scare me half to death every time he does it. So many years of being tortured by him has made me reserved. I tend to stay by myself in our coven. There aren’t many kids in our coven, they’re mostly adults. Growing up I hung out with my brother and the other children. I learned how to defend myself, but I also picked up on their style. I guess it was a blessing and a curse always hanging around my brother and his friends. The other children, who were girls, didn’t really like me. I wasn’t as glitzy and full of glam like they were. They just looked at me like one of the boys. Growing up, I could care less if they didn’t like me. But now, I really care. I wish I had girlfriends to hang out with, and to dress up with. I don’t even know how to dress like a girl. All I have in my closet is T-shirt’s and jeans. Along with some workout gear and tennis shoes. My mom always tries to help me be more feminine, but it just overwhelms me. I could honestly care less about having attention from boys. My mom says I have to at least put myself out there because I am a princess, and due to inheriting the palace after my parents once I find a husband. A lot of the witches and warlocks in our coven have left our palace to start a family of their own. They still live on the palace grounds, but they don’t live in the palace like the rest of us. I really don’t want all of this responsibility. I don’t want a husband and I sure as hell don’t want to inherit anything! I want to travel the world and see new things. I want to live a normal human life where I don’t have to have responsibilities like I’m some puppet on a string. As much as I want to be a normal human, I’m not. Unfortunately I’m the most powerful out of my family, but also the most destructive. Like my father, my emotions have a lot to do with my powers. I have telekinetic and psychokinetic powers, where I can move things with my mind and also influence others minds to do things of my will. Growing up I hated my powers. It made everyone afraid of me because I couldn’t control my emotions, causing me to make impulsive decisions. I’ve destroyed a lot of things in my life. My parents have had to rebuilt so many parts of the palace because of me. The last couple of years have been smooth sailing if you ask me. I’ve learnt to control my emotions so my powers don’t control me. I’ve just been trying to stay out the way and try to find a way to escape this hell hold. Now don’t get me wrong, I love this place, but I’ve never traveled outside of this place. My parents say the world wouldn’t be ready for me yet. Which I say is bullshit, but it’s just a nicer way of saying that the world is scared of me and my powers. “Cleo get your lazy ass up!” My brother said hitting me with a pillow, throwing me from my thoughts I sat up off of my bed, giving him a death stare. “Your missing training! Let’s go!” He yelled out annoyedly I rolled my eyes, giving him the finger. “Get dressed and let’s go princess!” He yelled out angrily, leaving my room “Ugh!” I yelled out angrily annoyed He can kiss my ass! Gosh my brother gets on my nerves. I didn’t feel like going to training today. I’m annoyed and aggravated that I am still here. I thought after I turned 18 a month ago, things would be different. I was very wrong about that!
