"Come on now Gillian, you are smarter than that think about it. 60,000 years ago where I was born they were all very dark skinned and very dark haired not to mention it would be nearly 15,000 years before I ever saw a fair skinned person. So to all of these people I was an abomination. I still remember them looking at me in disgust. Although I could not understand the words they spoke just yet I could feel their intentions. They did not hate me; they just feared me and feared the bad luck I would bring them. This fear is something I would continue to see for the rest of my life. It has only been in the last few centuries that I can go somewhat unnoticed. Just like animals today, odd balls were shunned because back then, humans weren't quite at the top of the food chain. They did not want to draw attention to themselves with an, oddity like myself. So, in an attempt to preserve the "herd" I was to be killed. As luck would have it, being a human and having more feelings than instinct, her offspring's life was more important.
"I grew at a slightly accelerated rate and began speaking and walking much sooner than any normal human. I was also able to read my mother's mind and, like today, I could also read animals and saved my mother and myself many times from predation due to this ability. She told me many stories and the history of our tribe as best she could remember and also when I was a young boy she told me about how we came to be separated from them. Even though I remembered it all I was never able to understand exactly what was happening. Being a child and lacking very good self-control I was always angered by these stories and vowed revenge. All the things going on in my head compounded my anger. I could hear her thoughts even as she slept, I could feel the animals all around me, from the wolves and large cats that we lived in fear of to minute bugs whose brains merely spit out orders and had no real thought. It was very hard being raised by someone who feared you.
Although she loved me I could still see and feel the fear in her. I could here her when she had regrets about running off with me and her many, many what if thought trains. Sometimes when she had these thoughts I would argue with her and tell her she made the right decision, not that I knew any better. It was times like that when she really feared me. The first time it happened she never caught on to the fact I was reading her mind. When she did realize this, a cold fear spilled over her body. She was never completely at ease around me and when I was about ten years old and she knew I could fend for myself she left me in my sleep. She never made a plan to do it, as surely I would have known. She was there one night and gone when I awoke.
"Hatred for her and all humans consumed me for many years. When I was about 14 years old I found the tribe from which I was born. I recognized a few of the elders as the ones who banished my existence and my blood began to boil. It was their fault I was all alone. It was these people's ignorance and fear that caused me to have not had any contact with other humans and grow up in the wilds. As all this anger and jealousy built, a few women carrying berries back into the village spotted me. Their gaze upon me was immediately followed by screams and fears. I read their minds and learned they knew of me and my birth. I was something like a fairytale or a boogieman almost. Their screams obviously drew much attention and soon men with spears and bolo's were heading my way. I was about to run when I saw the thing that sent my rage over the edge. From one of the huts came my mother. After four years of wondering what had happened to her and worrying that she may have been eaten or fallen ill I saw her looking to see what the commotion was. Her eyes immediately met mine. I saw shame at first then fear and even a little hate. In a flash I saw everything."
"She made a instant decision to leave me that night and made her way back to the village. Very few people remembered her but she convinced the elders she had killed me and was held captive buy a rival tribe. She quickly realized they would banish her or even put her to death when the elders see me and figure out she lied to them.
