Sebastian woke up like usual, in a cold hard sweat. He had another nightmare like he did every night, always the same one. His mother's screams filled his head as the monster that he summoned struck her. The look of pure terror in her eyes. He didn't even pay attention to his dad, just his mom. He always woke like that. Staring into her eyes, remembering a faint speck of rage in them that was never there. He blamed himself for that every day, what he did, why he's here. It was all his fault. Sebastian wiped away the tears in his eyes before getting off his bed and taking a shower. He thought it was funny the way the steam reminded him of his power. If it were green he might have thought he were summoning it himself. When he finished showering, Sebastian did all of his other morning duties. Getting dressed, brushing his teeth, eating breakfast.
Upon leaving his house, he waved to his foster parents. "Goodbye!" He said in a cheerful tone. They both cringed slightly and his father bid him farewell whilst his mom just waved. They had been doing that for a while, almost as if they didn't care. Sebastian brushed it off thinking that they were just tired that day like he did every day, not knowing that they didn't love him a single bit. They thought he was a monster, and surely he must be. The only reason they are keeping him in the first place is because they got a large check in the mail every month for taking care of him. Something they just couldn't pass up.
But Sebastian was blissfully ignorant in his happiness from being out of Curdon Cay. How he hated that place. At first he wouldn't use his powers at all, some of the staff even questioned if he had any. They did until one day when Augustine sent for him. They kept trying to get him to leave but he didn't. Finally he broke, he summoned a large reaper and it sliced two staff members in half while the other was severely injured. He was sent into lockdown after that but he didn't care. It was thrilling, using his powers. But every time he did, he could feel the guilt well up inside of him. He stopped using his powers again but Augustine tempted him with with something he couldn't ignore. She told him he could use his powers to help others if he learned to control them. Little did he know, he was just being turned into a weapon. Slowly, they transformed him into a proficient weapon. Not the best by far, but fairly strong. What they intended to do with him he didn't know but he knew that he was out now and that he didn't have to think about it.
As he was walking to school, Sebastian heard something from a roof above. It sounded like screaming. Sebastian only knew what he heard but he still went up, unable to resist the urge to help. He could feel himself become fragile, his skin becoming semi-translucent, his bones showing through his revealed arms and face, and just like that, he flew into the air, leaving a trail of green mist behind him. He landed on the roof, catching himself and almost falling over. There were what looked to be a conduit and a normal person. The normal, was bound by sand at the wrists and ankles, begging for his life. The conduit standing above her laughing. When he moved, he seemed to have a sort of fluid like motion with every struggle. Sebastian noticed, that it was air currents moving him around. So the normal was actually an air conduit. The sand conduit formed a spear in his hand and aimed it at the other conduits chest. But before he could strike, a dense fogged surrounded the air conduit and condensed into a brutish ghoul with large arms. The ghoul pushed the sand conduit, smashing him against the wall.
Sebastian, filled with rage, summoned a large skull and grasped it. Whispering into it's ear before he threw it at the sand conduit. It dissolved into his body and he instantly started screaming. Sebastian had whispered a single word into the skull. "Spiders." When it hit the conduit, it gave him terrible hallucinations of spiders crawling all over him. Not biting, Sebastian couldn't cause pain with that ability. Just crawling on him, hissing, baring their fangs. "Don't ever hurt a fellow conduit." He whispered in the mans ear as he writhed on the ground in fear and agony. Of course Sebastian had just hurt him but he meant not to hurt one that has not done you wrong. The air conduit, still in the cage of the ghoul Sebastian summoned earlier, was backed away and looking at Sebastian with terrible fear. He waved his hand dismissively and the ghoul vanished. Instantly the conduit screamed and flew away, the air currents blowing sand in their wake.
This always happen when anybody saw his powers. They always ran away. Always screamed at him, telling him he's a freak. Sometimes even conduits aren't extremely accepting. Sebastian just sat down angrily and pulled his stuffed rabbit Hugo, from his bag and hugged it. "Don't worry Hugo. I'm okay. As long as I can help people." He whispered to the inanimate children's toy, his recent victim still lying on the ground, finally fainting after being through so much torture.
