Turns out, I'm not the only person with powers around here. Actually, lots of people have powers. But I think I'm the only one who can shoot light/fire out of their hands. Caine has quite the power himself. He can move objects with his mind. Not just light stuff, either. He can pick stuff up and smash it into a wall, or simply make something he wants come to him so he doesn't have to get up, like a drink or snack. Caine still seems pretty nice, but when I look into his eyes I see that shouldn't be there. Like this crazed hunger for power or something...it's hard to describe.
Life under Caine's rule has been interesting. He made me fire chief. Probably because of the School Bus Sam thing, and just a short while ago a house was set on fire and a kid was trapped upstairs. I ran in and tried to save her, but I couldn't. But apparently it still counts for bravery. Also he saw that I pretty much was in charge of Perdido Beach-at least people wanted me to be- so I couldn't be ignored.
Oh and by the way, when I said that life under Caine's rule has been interesting, by interesting I meant completely horrible. Caine's not what you would call compassionate, or even nice in any way. He's got all the bullies out working for him. He says that they are his cops. Well Orc just beat an innocent girl to death for no real reason. Things are getting worse and worse.
