[INDENT]"So, my mothers' name is:
Lue-Elan. A hard working and loving woman, and my world."

"And may sister's name is:
Unique. Yep, that her name. She is sort of like my father, lazy, she likes to spend her time with friends and never works for anything.

"Grandmama:

Weird witch woman."
[/INDENT]
[b]Personal Statement:[/b]
[INDENT]"My life has not been the greatest, my father is an electrician. You would assume we would be well of, but we aren't, there is not money, are father works, but we never know we're the money goes. At an early age I had to get a job, taking out the trash for the elderly, cleaning their homes and what not. My mom worked also, as a cook at the local fast food restaurant.

My father usually had came home drunk and unable to even walk upstairs to get to bed. Mom would come home after he did, and would have to cook for him, even through he almost never ate due to the fact that he had passed out by the time it was finished. If she came home late, he would try to beat her. But I was always there to stop it from happening, but I am not always their. All though I was in high school, did not get home till 9:00 PM or later because of work. I would usually find my mother in the kitchen, bruised, with my food hot and ready. I would never say anything about it, knowing that she would never leave Sam, no matter what he did, she was to loyal for her own good. My sister usually catered to my father's good side, I never cared to find out how my father could keep enough control over himself to not hit her or me, but my mother.

My schooling life was not the greatest also, in all truth I was smart, my grades were great for a boy like me, but most of it involved lots of time studying, most of which I did not have. Despite that fact, I was regularly accused of cheating by my classmates. I would usually be proved innocent, but would never get out unscathed. I would usually be beat up, but that never meant I did not fight back. 

But things started to change when I developed my powers. At first, I thought I was monster, and in truth, I was. I was protecting my mother from my father when my rage took the better of me, and I had gone to grab the aluminum bat with my skin changed into the aluminum itself, I only transformed for a few second before changing back in unwitingly. They were both horrified, they ended up both thinking that it was an hallucination, but I knew that it was not, an I will always know it was not.

"Well, umm, thanks for the time, and what not."

[HIDER=Sample post]For once in once in his god forsaken life, the house was quiet. It was usually so loud that the police no longer bothered to come over when the neighbors reported them. Usually the TV was blasting, dad was yelling, Unique had even louder with friends over, and mom was arguing with dad. If he wasn't down stairs yelling right back at dad, then he was studying upstairs in his room. Unfortunately, that was not longer an option for him, school was over, he graduated. Unfortunately, that day was not a day for celebration, at least for Kane, it just meant he had lost another possible escape root from this home. Fortunately, in celebration of his graduation, his grandmother came over. The only person his father would never disrespect, was his own mother.

Grandmama was a weird woman, to say the least. She had money, their was no doubt about that, her husband was a successful entrepreneur. But, she had lived her life deeply entrenched in the mythical New Orleans voodoo and gris-gris. "Vivre la vie comme à l'entendent." His mother always said, it was not a common saying in the  New Orleans lingo, but french was still a big part of this city. It all translated to: "Live life the way [i]you[/i], see fit." She could live her life, and him his, but that did not stop him from being suspicious about her ways.

"Grandma wants you." A voice said from his doorway. Kane didn't bother to look back anyway, he knew who it was, her usual contempt could be heard in her voice, Unique. 

"I'll be down in a few seconds." Kane mumbled despondently, slightly angered for the interruption of his quiet. 

Kane sighed as his sister sneered at him and slammed the door, causing some of his old figurines to fall to the floor. He wondered if she gained some kind of enlightenment when she did things like that. Kane left his desk, and was about reopen the door when a shiver went down his spine, he felt this anytime he was about to make a descion. He could here footsteps on the other side, suddenly, scenarios randomly started playing in his head, one was of his grandma at the door, in anger because he made her wait so long. Another was that he would find no one, and would walk down the stairs to meet his grandma on her way out the door, another was that he would simply change his mind and go back to his seat, and his grandma would walk in anyway. 

He opened his bedroom door and strolled down the stairs. About half way down he meant his Grandmama, she seemed to be furious, which was a big problem.

"[b]"Boy, I called you an hour ago, were was you."[/b] she spit at him, anger etched into her features.

Kane stepped back about, trying to avoid the spit that was flung from her lips. "I wasn't told to come down till Sis told me a few minutes ago." He said quietly, he hated speaking this way, but he had to show respect to her, he did not want to become a frog.


[i]"Mo chagren, cher"[/i] she said sadly, "I did not know, please forgive me boo." She placed her hands on his shoulder. "Boy, it's time we talked." She said carefully. He noticed his mother at the bottom of the stairs with a concerned look on her face. Kane frowned, what the hell was going on. Crap, she had told her about the incident.
