The Wonder Boy (Completed)

I have made some changes in my FanFic as I wanted to introduce more information about Sam’s ability and power to control the elements of nature. The word limit made it difficult to share more than this.

In winter of 1930s in a small town far away from the busy cities there lived a family. An ordinary and simple family living in a time of hardship and living off the land. John was a farmer and the father of two children, married to Joanna his wife and childhood sweetheart. Mollie was the faithful and loyal dog.

Every morning without fail, seven days a week John would walk many miles from the house with his horse and cart and Mollie his loyal companion by his side. His wife every day would prepare breakfast for him and the children and often she would have to take John his lunch as he was always more concerned that the children had eaten.

As usual Sam could hear his mother calling him. “Come on Sam, get up its time for school” said his mother. Sam lay a little longer in bed and thought school was the last place he really wanted hurry up and go to.

Sam is twelve years old and attends the local community school with his sister Sara. She is two years younger than Sam and always looked up and admired her big brother, most of all because Sam possessed something special that no one else knew about except her and her parents.

There had always been something special between Sam and his mother. A bond and a way of speaking with one another without words.

One day on the way to school Sam and his sister meet another boy Mathew. While they were nearing the school, Sam suddenly stopped walking. His sister and Mathew slowed down wondering why he stopped. As they looked up at the sky they saw dark clouds swirling above Sam's head.“What’s happening Sara” yelled Mathew as he was feeling scared and shocked at what he was seeing.

“Don’t worry just be quiet” said Sara. This was not the first time Sara had seen something like this happening to her brother. She knew that her brother was an extra ordinary kid and had super natural powers.

After short time the cloud disappeared from around Sam. “What happened Sara?” said Mathew. “Don’t talk about it to anyone” said Sara. They kept walking to school as though nothing had happen.

At school Sam would spend most of his free time alone and away from the other kids.

Even though he was doing well at school he didn’t want to be there. Sam had the ability to control the elements of nature. These being air, water, fire and earth.

For him being at school only meant he couldn't practice or use his power even if he was being bullied.

Sam's mother had told him, that one day when she was pregnant with him and was walking to take lunch to his father working in the fields a strange event had happened.

As she got closer to the fields, a large gust of wind came up and suddenly she found herself surrounded by swirling wind and dark clouds forming around her head. She heard a voice telling her that her baby when born will possess the power to control the elements of nature and was chosen to help mankind.

Charlie was known as a bully and angry kid amongst other kids at school. Every day he would pick on Sam by annoying him and calling him “the wonder boy”. Charlie was saying that because Sam was always setting alone and never playing with the others, but was really clever and the teachers liked him.

One day at school Charlie was picking on another kid by calling him names and pushed him down to the ground. Sam who was watching couldn’t sit and do nothing any longer. He stood up and yelled “stop Charlie!”. Charlie looked at Sam and laughed saying, “what are you going to do about it?” Sam didn’t say anything. Instead Sam stood up and started moving his hands and arms in a slow motion backward and forward and side to side. As he did this the wind started swirling around Charlie from head to his toes. The ground beneath Charlie started to shake and vibrate like an earthquake and he fell to the ground.

Sam ran quickly to the place he always goes to, to be by himself and to be alone. This place was very special to him. Hidden deep in a mountain not far from his home was this place, a cave. In this place, a river flowed from a waterfall and he would regain his energy and his spirit would be lifted by listening to the wind. Sam was worried that he had used his powers in front of kids at school and now sat and contemplated what will happen next.
