Wings Clipped

How it all Started

As a kid, I wasn't as crazy. I lived in a small apartment was my mother in Arizona. She always protected me from people who would have want to hurt me because of my wings or powers. She never knew about that my dad was a greek god, or my fear powers. She saw me as an outcast who needed to be protected. When I was young, my wings were very small about as long as my arm, not strong enough to lift me off the ground. I would hide them why wearing jackets and thicker shirts. Never the less, it didn't stop anyone for picking on me.
My living condition, my mother always protecting me, and how I looked. I would be pushed around, called a freak, if only they knew me now. One time, some bully pushed me into a pile of mud and water, pushing me face into it to top it off. Suddenly, I felt them stop pushing my face down. I wiped the mud off my face to see a black haired girl trying to help me out. I had never seen her before, and maybe never again. Over the next few days I was less alone, I was pretty happy about it. But nothing happy ever stayed in my life.
At age 10, I was trying to snap me fingers. When I finally did, my powers attacked my mom. I didn't know how to change it back, but even if I did it would have been too late. It would be years before I learned what happened. For 3 more years, my mother would slowly get more and more crazy. It toke over her life, and she started starving herself. Before she died, she told me that she wanted me to keep my wings hidden and not to give up on fighting to survive, it was the last thing she said before she died the next morning. I was know alone, when I went to her funeral, three men came up to me. I remembered them from when my mom was still alive, they were the people who tried to find out what she was. They were the closest to family I had right them. They seemed to think I was also crazy, for some reason. They started asking me questions, but some of them were too much for me too much to take in. When I would they would ask so many questions I couldn't answer, I would just rock back and forth and then cover my ears with my hands, a weird thing I would do. They would leave the room until I calmed down.
        One day, after they left, I felt someone put their hand on my shoulder. He was, I'd say, in his mid-to-late thirties. He kinda looked like me in twenty years, only had snow whitehair while I had pitch black hair. His eyes almost looked dream like, a mix of a series of colors."How-you-doodlely," he said in a happy tone.
Wh-who are you," I asked the strange man. "I did think you would remember me, it has be 9 years,"he said "you were so young when I meet you."
"Wait, I would have only been a baby if you meet me 9 years ago,"I said in surprise.
"That's right, I am your father, Morpheus"
"What, it can't be... If so, why did you leave me and my mom."
" It kind of a greek god thing, if I could I would stay with all my children"
"Greek god?"
"That's right, you're a demi-god. Son of the god of dreams. I see you take after my wings"
I couldn't seem to take it all in, my father a greek god, me being a demi-god. This had to be a dream, yes that's what it was. I was just asleep and I would wake up any mintute.
"Lucifer, you're not asleep. Trust me, demi-gods don't have an easy life. But you may have the worst kind-of life. Those wings you have will grow taller than you, making it harder to hide from mortals.  Plus you have two powers, sleep and nightmare. You can make mortals or demi-gods sleep by snapping your fingers while thinking of sleep. Nightmares are when you think of hate and snap you fingers, making them see their worst fear."
"Why are you telling me this, why don't you just leave me alone and forget about me"
"Fine, but I just wanted to warn you," he then disappeared as if he was made of dust. After that, the other two usual guys came back,sitting in the seats in front of me. "You okay now Lucifer," they said to me as if they had seen that guy visit me. "Yeah," I replied back wondering if I really had powers of sleep. Snapping my fingers like he said, they just suddenly fell asleep right as I did that like magic, oh wait it was. Leaving the room, and every time someone tried to stop me I would repeat my powers to be released from this hell hole. I had sent to many days and hours here, I was going on my own from now on, never looking back.
