I don’t exactly remember everything from that day. i just wish it had never happened. My name is Jane, and I am gifted and cursed. Up until my thirteenth birthday, I was normal and lived like any other kid. But the day of my birthday, something wasn’t right.

I woke up and was tired (normal), i went into the bathroom and took a shower (normal), and got dressed (as normal as normal can be). But none of my clothes looked good. I used to love my clothes but now they look too old for me for some reason.

I just picked some clothes and wore them. i walked downstairs and something didn’t look right. Decorations were everywhere, but they all looked babyish. But I liked them and I let them stay.

A couple of hours later, the party started. All of my family was there, and something about the excitement in their eyes scared me. I chatted, and mostly everyone asked me, “Are you excited?” “It’s my birthday, so, like always, I’m excited!” I’d reply.

At cake time, something would happen that would change me forever. The cake said, “It’s Time.” That isn’t the strange part. All of a sudden, the lights went out and i swirled into the air. A deep voice said, “Jane your time has come. You will now have the power to control the minds of others and make psy-objects. But this gift comes with the curse of childhood. You are forever to be a baby in an older and still-growing body. You will have the mind of a teen and the personality of a baby.”

If I were to say that the landing was softly into the chair I’d be lying. I fell with a thunk. I got up and looked down at myself and thought that I looked cute. Then I realized something. I was dressed as a baby.

All of a sudden I heard an alarm. I looked outside and saw a black monster traveling this way. The alarm was the siren of a police truck falling into our yard. This creature was about as tall the Empire State Building.

I got this sudden impulse to leap out the back door to fight this menace. I flew (using psy-wings) to the creature and shot out a beam of ice. It froze it for a second but then it turned into an inferno. Lucky for me, my powers can control water. I made all the water from the pond in my backyard splash on the creature. By doing this, it died. Not like in the blink of an eye. It screamed in a deeper voice then the power giver one, “I’m melting! O,h I’m melting! What an overworld!”
