Someone Elses Nightmare

From Storieswiki.org

I was walking down the dark streets and looking around, enjoying the peace and quiet, when I heard a female voice.

"No, please stop, dad. You're hurting me."

The next thing I knew, I was standing at an open door looking in and saw a man of about thirty to thirty-five hitting a teenage girl who was curled up by the wall with a belt. My first thought was that he should stop, but he stopped before I took any action. He just stood there like in a trance or something.

I looked at the girl. She was crying and shaking like a leaf on a tree. I wondered why would anyone hurt another person like that. I knelt down next to her and asked if she was fine. She just kept crying and shaking. I put my hand on her shoulder, and said, "You're going to be ok."

To my surprise she lay down and fell asleep. I wished I could give her better memories and a better future. I turned to the father. "How dare you strike your daughter? You should be ashamed of yourself!"

He started crying like a baby and fell to the floor. I looked at him in disgust. I wanted to punish abusers with the harshest punishment possible. I didn't know how much time has lapsed, but I finally said to him, "You will drop dead if you ever raise your hand to hit in anger. You will die, so remember that, asshole."

I tried to figure out why I thought I could change this horrible man to a decent human being. Who do I think I am an adult? I am only thirteen I cannot even tell my mother what to do? I must think I have some big balls to just walk into this guys house and tell him off. I'm freaken lucky I'm not dead meat right now. What's the deal with him bawling like a baby,could it be that he was caught? I am not sure what his problem is. I thought to myself I wish he was asleep in bed and wham he was gone. I jumped so high I thought I might hit the ceiling lamp, "What the fuck just happened?" I said to no one. I was shaking now out of fear of the unknown, I ran from that house and down the street to nowhere in general.

I heard a gun shot and wondered where. The next thing I knew I was looking at the body of a dead woman and her husband kneeling by the body, crying. I glanced up and saw two punks holding guns and they were aimed at the old man. I said "Shoot your partner, fucker" and sure as shit stinks, he shot his partner. then I said, "Hey you fuckup why not shoot yourself while your at it?", and wham the punk put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger, and then dropped dead to the ground. I walked up to the elderly man and said "Sir are you all right?", and he just kept crying trying to wake his wife. I put my hand on his shoulder and said, "If I could go back in time, I would save your wife for you sir." Wham the both of them were gone I jumped back and said what the fuck is going on here people just do not up and freaken disappear into thin air, again I was shaking like a leaf out of plain fear of the unknown.

The next thing I knew there was the sound of bees buzzing around my head, I shook my head and the next thing I knew I was in my bed waking up. I said not to loud,what the fuck type of nightmare was that? I looked at my clock and it said six am, I reached over, pushed the snooze button, and said finally peace and quiet. I got out of bed, looked in my mirror, and said Joe Masters you are losing your fucking marbles. I looked at myself in the mirror and said not bad, for a nobody in a nowhere land huh. I was a typical teen I flexed my muscles and said yep your a wuss you need to work out you poor excuse for a boy. I looked at myself real close and whispered fuck you, you jock wannabe, I had to laugh just because I knew it was true. I turned and flipped myself off on the way to the bathroom. I showered and brushed my teeth and then I got dressed and headed down stairs for breakfast. I look at my mom and thought I wonder why she is all smiles. Wham I was in her head seeing her and dad fucking up a storm. I said ok to much information for this kid; I glanced at my sister Krisy who was ten and looking very sad. I thought to myself I wonder why Krisy is so sad Wham I was in her head and saw that she had a crush on a boy who has no idea who Krisy is.

Ok before you ask why this popping into peoples head is not freaking me out is because I have been able to sense as long as I can remember. It was not to long ago I found out that not everybody can do this. I never thought I was different or crazy or anything,that is why I never told anybody anything about this or anything. The nightmare I had last night was new but for all I know its just that a nightmare.

Ok back to the breakfast that is getting cold we all ate minus dad. He gets up early to get to work before everybody else so he can be ahead of the game so to speak. I said to mom thank-you for breakfast and she said your welcome Joe and Krisy said yeah mom thank-you, we gave mom the hugs she always expected from her kids and grabbed our books and headed for school. On our way to school, Krisy asked me about boys and what they think of girls, I said well speaking for myself, I like to look at their legs and boobs. Oh wow Joe really your sick you know that right and I said yes but if I die from this, I will smile. Krisy said sick sick sick and I had to laugh at her and Krisy hit me in the shoulder and said shut up sicko. Ouch sissy that hurt and she said I did not hit you that hard wimp and I said not that sissy you calling me a sicko. I have news for you sis all guys are one of three things and she said oh what is that Joe and I said a leg man or a tit man or an ass man sis. Krisy said well I am out of the game then huh and I said your only ten sis you will grow boobs like moms and her eyes lit up and she said wow she has a pair to. I said ok that's enough of that and I asked Krisy if she finished all her home work and being the sister she is said yes father and now it was my turn to hit her lightly of course.

As we entered the school doors I saw the girl of my thoughts and her name is Wendy Thomas and what a babe she is to. Long auburn hair down her back and boobs that look great covered but I bet better uncovered she isn't tall but average I guess, and legs that go to heaven as my dad says about moms legs I say if it works for dad it might work for me. I walked past Wendy and I said hey and she said hey back at you Krisy nudge me in the ribs and said hehehe lover boy and I said yeah in my dreams hehe. I went to my homeroom and sat down looking around I thought ok who is trouble today? And Wham I popped into John Tilts' head and saw him looking at Michelle Wang and his thoughts were anything but good so I looked at his greatest fear and low and behold it was the size of his dick apparently OLE John was small. So, what I did was tell his subconscious that the more he thought about hurting girls the smaller his dick would get. Just as I finished I heard a blood-curdling scream out of OLE John and he was holding his crotch and saying its fucking getting smaller and everybody laughed. The teacher Mr. Richards said you go to the office Mr. Tilt's right this minute. John ran if nothing else, as I was turning around I saw Mary Littleton looking at me and smiling and she winked at me and I winked back at her thinking cool. I wonder what Mary is thinking Wham I see her looking at me and thinking wow Joe is so mysterious and hot looking I wonder if he thinks of girls yet. I gave Mary a thought about my crotch and I heard her gasp and I looked over at her and she was blushing and squeezing her legs tight. Mr. Masters would you please pay attention and I glanced and I said sir if I look any harder my eyes will pop out of my head and the class laughed. Mr. Richards says oh goodie a comic do you want to look this way or be looked at Mr. Masters. Me being the smart ass I am I said decisions, decisions what to do hmmmmmmm ok sir I will look at you but I can definitely say that Mary looks better than you sir and he crosses his arms and says ok you get detention today. I say hmmm do I have to look at you then to sir and he says and tomorrow too and I say, ok. I wonder what he is thinking and Wham I am in his brain, I look around, and I find that he is a sick bastard he likes boys naked and climbing up him yuck he is so sick. So I look at his greatest fear and I find out his greatest fear is that his father finds out. So I go into his memory and find a moment of his father yelling for him. I rearrange the voice and turn it into a "yelling at" then push the memory to the front of his thoughts and turn it on and say this will happen when you think of boys naked. I just leave his brain when he starts crying and saying I am sorry father I never meant to really please believe me. He runs out of the classroom as if he were running from someone the class is in shock and we just wait until the bell rings. The bell finally rings after what feels like forever. I get up and I head for my first class and I thinking hmmm I wonder how many other sick teachers we have hear and Wham the number 5 enters my head. I say well well is it going to be fun or what. I enter Ms Wilson's class the first thing I do is scan her brain and I say shit this is one weird woman. She likes to play rough with girls I look at her fears and find that her fear is the funniest I have ever seen, her fear is that she will never stop cumming. So the gentleman I am give her that fear and as I leave her head she starts screaming but not in fear its like she is enjoying it. Little does she know that it will stop when she stops thinking of girls? The class watches Ms Wilson as she crawls on her desk and humps it like a crazy woman. The vice principle shows up and says you all stay seated and the TA will give you work, I like our TA she is a FOX so I leave her alone but only for today, Ok so I like looking at their fantasies so shoot me. After that class I think of the other 4 weird teachers and I pin point all of them I only have one more bad apple the rest are not on my schedule, so I need to experiment on things I'm not sure I can do. I have always known I can get into someone's head if their in the same room as me but I never checked distance or if I could go through walls and stuff so now is the perfect time to learn it is school after all, and learning is fundamental right.

Ok it is later in the morning and I am in third period History with some old lady that looks older than my grams. I look in her brain and I practically jump out of my chair. This old lady is evil if she had her way we would be tied to trees and beaten to death. After I calm down I look at her fears and I see that there are very few of them. But, her biggest fear is that she will die before beating one of us to death. So I just say bye bitch its time to die and she is staring out the window as her life leaves her, no one in the class even notices that she just died. Until I step up and ask her what are we suppose to do today, I touch her, and she falls over. I quickly kneel next to her behind the desk and whisper rot in hell bitch. Then I rise and say um she is dead guys and the girls scream and run and most of the guys pass out. I walk back to my chair I open my book and act like I am reading and I begin my experiment to see if I can get through walls and such things. First I think of Mary I think she is in PE and sure enough, she is hmmmmmmmmmm nice body to. Oh my Mary you do think of me allot. How about I help you out huh. Mary can you hear me, I am not sure why, ok I know why but she faints right off the bench. I whisper in her mind, say Mary Joe thinks you are a fox, and would love to play hmmm Doctor with you. You can wake up now Mary and Mary opens her eyes and says has he left yet and the teacher says who and Mary says Joe Masters was just here wasn't he and everyone says no Mary he wasn't here only girls are aloud here you know that. As I am watching the girls PE I figure out, I have another power that I never thought I had. Mindspeak I know I can see thoughts and memories and fantasies but I never thought I could mindspeak. I might have had that power all along I just never had a reason to use it, I swear I will not use it unless its for justice, hmmm I might be able to tease the teases revenge is stupid but oh so sweet.

While I'm in the girls locker room I look around and notice Wendy Thomas looking at Mary with angry eyes hmmmmmmmmm is she mad at Mary for something, lets take a peek huh and I look in Wendy's mind and I see a wedding, I always liked weddings the free food is good, I step behind the priest and I look at the groom and it is me, I wonder why Wendy is thinking of my wedding day, the organist starts playing the wedding march and the bride comes walking thru the doors with a vail so i wait to see who it is, I'm getting bored I thought to myself and I say I wish I could fast forward this like a dvd. Oh my freaking head hurts I have never experienced fast forward and trust me you get to the point you want to throw up. I looked around and saw the bride lifting the vail and I said WOW Wendy is beautiful, they kiss or is it we kiss.

I leave her mind and Wendy has this look like a far away look, my mom says that when I am far away. I whisper to Wendy Joe loves you and Wendy says yes he does and the girl next to Wendy says who does what Wendy and Wendy jumps and says oh nothing just thinking out loud is all, oh ok says the unknown girl who glances in my direction and winks. What the hell and just then I'm back in my class room being tapped on the shoulder and asked if I was ok and I look up and I see an angel in front of me the teachers aide is standing there and looking worried and I say yes I'm fine just in a bit of shock is all, well class is over you can leave now and have your lunch, I look at her and say thank-you and I leave for the lunch room and get in line waiting for the lady to get the food dished out and while I'm waiting I think of the lunch lady and wonder if she is as mean as she looks and Wham I'm in her mind and I find out that she is not mean at all just lonely. I suggest to her that she needs to work out and get better clothes and girl stuff you know hair makeup stuff like that. She hands me my lunch and I say I hope you have a good day ma'am she smiles and says thank-you Joe.

I head for my favorite table and I sit down and Mary and Wendy And the unknown girl walk by saying hey Joe, I say hey and say yo Wendy who is your friend and Wendy stops and says oh man I'm sorry Joe this is Lea she's new here and I say really where are you from Lea and she says here and there, oh I say been here can't say I have been there yet and I laugh and the girls giggle, Lea say there is ok but oh is here better and Wendy says he is taken Lea so hands off and I say really I do hope I know her and Wendy blushes and says you will Joe you will.

I glance at the three of them and they look at me like I was lunch and I say ok ladies I think its time to sit and enjoy your lunch, they snap out of whatever they were thinking and say oh yes lunch, they leave chatting up a storm and I starting eating my lunch when I feel someones eyes on my neck and I slowly look around and and I see Krisy looking at me and I wave her over and say hey Krisy whats up, she says same old same old, I say is that bad or good and Krisy looks at me and says boys they are so dense and I say hey I haven't done a thing ok and she says I know Joe and she says I'm sorry. I say its ok sis, so whats wrong with boys and she looks at me and says they're just stupid is all and I say ok who is he and I will have a talk with him and Krisy gets all bugged eyed and says no you will not talk to him. Ok ok I just thought some kid said something rude to you is all and she says no Joe its not that so cool your heels ok, ok sis there cooled, so whats up. Krissy says nothing that you can help with so never mind ok, ok sis. I take a peek and I see Krisy thinking of Sam Walters the basketball player on the school team, I know of Sam but never met him so she is right I have to stay out of it.

Yeah right like I am going to stay out of anyones head I don't think so. While I eat my lunch I pop into Sams head and find out that he is just a human basketball thats all he thinks of is basketball, poor Krisy she doesn't have a chance with this kid.

I finish my lunch and say see you after school Krisy and she says sure Joe.

I glance at the table where Wendy, Mary and Lea are eating and I think why did you wink at me when no one can see me Lea and I continued to walk to my locker to get my books and head for my next class, which is science, I am just sitting sown when I feel some one trying to get in my head I look around and see Lea walking by winking at me. Hmmmmmmmm a hello knock huh, I wonder if she has a little talent of her own that is weak but there, I could use a friend like myself all my other friends would think I was weird. I think of Lea and I pop into her mind and see everything she ever did or fantasized about hmmmmm lookie there she does have a weak talent, I wonder if I can increase the strength to only mindspeak hmmmmmmm. I tweak her mindspeak ability and tone down the others to be there but not usable she won't miss it since she never knew she had it right. Now test time, I say hi Lea and she squeaks and thinks who is in my head and why are you in my head hold it better question how are you in my head, Oh my questions questions Lea we get enough questions in school, lets just say I'm here if you ever need to talk in our heads of course I call it mindspeaking, now the other question was who am I, I'm Joe Masters we met at lunch and you winked at me a couple of times. Oh ah hi Joe I remember you very well, oh you do huh, yes I do, your very cute and Wendy likes you and I think I like you too, cool. Now can I ask you a question Lea were you winking at me or were you just winking, Lea thinks I was just winking, I'm sorry I thight you were winking at me. Lea says no I was just winking, oh ok well I will let you be bored in your class I hope to see you around, me to, see ya later. While I'm in her mind I adjust her mindspeak so that we can talk to each other I would hate to see her cause trouble in the innocents.

I pop out of her head just as the teacher gives us home work. and the bell rings and I head to P. E. After I am for the class I look around at the other teachers in the area and do a quick scan and find that they are ok, personally I think they have to much sports on the brain but to each their own right. While the class is doing laps I scan the area, then I think I wonder how far I can scan so I extend my scan farther and I know how far it is to home its about half a mile and I find mom talking to her mom about christmas which is aways off yet. then I think hmmmmmm I know dad is at work and he is outside of town about 20 miles, so I think of him and I'm there its not blurry or weak I must be pretty stronge to be able to reach that far dads in a meeting with a bunch of guys, so I leave him to his work, I wonder if I can scan anybody this far out or just people I know I scan the area for anyone and I find some one praying to god asking for help so I enter this persons mind and find out its a girl of about 5 or 6 and she is scared to death, shes tied up and gaged in the basement of some house. She seems ok now so I look around and I find some old guy upstairs sharpening his knife, I pop into his mind and then I fall as I'm doing laps and start to throw up the teacher runs to me and says Joe are you ok, I spit the puke out of my mouth and say yes I'm ok just lunch wanted to leave, he says I think you better come with me and get some water and take a break for a few minutes ok and I say ok sir. As i'm getting the water I try to figure out why anyone would do such a thing to children. I sit down on the bleachers and I immediately pop into the old mans mind and look for his fear. My god this old man is so sick I have to kill him before he hurts the little girl, I see him still sharpening his knife, I wonder if I can grab that knife and stab him in the chest, lets see I read about this once I need to imagine a hand grabbing the handle of the knife and I need to think it is light as light as a feather in order to pick it up, so I reach for the handle and I grip it and squeeze it then I lift it, the old man tries to stop the knife from moving but I'm to stronge just as the old man jumps up the knife flies into his heart he falls dead.

I go to the little girl and I think oh no shes tied up and gaged and now alone more alone than just down here, with the old man dead she might not be saved in time. Duh stupid you just killed a killer so untie her, I think things over for a bit the danger is gone but I need to know that she can get out of her, I look around there are no windows in this basement, so i go to the baement door to find it locked hmmm easy to unlock. I float thru the door to unlock it and open it a little I look around and find the old man in the kitchen dead. The basement door opens to the dining room, ok this will work. I go to the girl and untie her and she is shaking, I pop into her mind and say the old man killed himself and you need to go find help fast ok and the little girl jumps up and removes the gag and runs upstairs thru the door and heads outside screaming for help. I pop back into my own mind and say thank god I could help the little girl. I take a deep breath and say wow that was draining, I guess new abilities are draining. I guess I need to work on that one to. I tried to stand up and couldn't right away so I just sat there and relaxed for awhile. When the teacher said hit the showers I was affraid I would be causing a scene so I tried to stand and could, whew good and I walked to the shower and striped down and went into the shower and when the water hit me it felt like tons of dirt were being washed away I felt like a new boy.

When I left the locker room I headed for my next class thinking of what I'm doing is it right to do this stuff on a major level as this and I thought about what dad said, he said if he could get away with it he would kill all the bad and evil in the world just because the courts are screwed up to much. And I said dads right for all we know the criminals might get off, because of a screw up on someones part. No one will ever know that the long arm of the law is a kid who only wants a better world to grow up in.

On my way to my nxt class Lea runs up to me and says your talented and I say well maybe but never tell anyone or your talent will be turned off, oh I would never tell I never have and I never will, I stop and think not here not now please to many kids, "she thinks ok later".

I think to her I will cotact you ok and she nods and we go are separate ways. I went to my next class and sat down and the person behind me taps me on the shoulder and I turn and its Mary and she says hi how is your day going so far and I say its going as far as it can and she giggles and says you know what I mean and I say yes I do and my day is going ok and yours and she says its ok to. Mary looks at me and says you know I bet you look good in a Doctor costume and I say hmmm I bet you look good on the exam table to and she blushes all over and I say gee I'm sorry I had no idea you were serious. Oh Joe I'm very serious and she gives me the oh you have no idea look and I'm not sure but I think I blushed to. I said some day I will have to check you out on the table and she gasps and says oh Joe you nasty boy you, and I say oh Mary you nasty girl you and we both laugh.

I turned around and waited for class to start. Then I thought I should check on the little girl. And I was there with her at the old mans house there were cops there and an ambulance and the little girl was being held by some woman by a car and I knew she was alright and safe now, I popped back into my mind and relaxed and went thru class like the rest of the kids.
