Alma was a severely troubled child, gifted with tremendous psychic powers, who suffered nightmares and apparently was attuned to the negative emotions of the people around her. At the age of only three, Armacham Technology Corporation inducted Alma into Project Paragon, where they tested her for every known psychic ability. Alma passed all tests, and, should she appear not to have any psychic ability, her father Harlan Wade would work tirelessly with her until she was able to focus her powers and complete the objective. When Alma was five, she began to fail all her tests, and it was discovered that she was purposefully failing them. Sometime later, she started a fire in one of the labs. Armacham scientists began to have vivid nightmares, sudden mood changes, and delusions. It was concluded that Alma was psychically attacking them. Soon after, Armacham made plans to keep Alma alive, but to also stop her from being able to harm their employees. In her seventh year, she was recruited into Armacham Technology Corporation’s Project Origin with the aim of creating psychics from a psychic for-bearer and to keep Alma from using her psychic powers against Armacham’s scientists. Two days before her eighth birthday, she was put into an induced coma and locked in The Vault, a spherical structure located deep inside the secret Origin Facility, blocking her psychic abilities. But for some reason even this chamber and the coma couldn´t stop her, and little Alma ran away and hid in an office of an old warehouse. Until one day she heard somebody knocking at the door, funnily enough this time her psychic abilities couldn´t help her to tell who would be on the opposite side of the door….

Her little hands clasped around the door handle to open the heavy wooden door carefully, just to see the man who always wanted to kill her right in front of her.  She knew that something bad to her will happen now. She can´t remember what exactly he did to her, at some point she had a blackout.

Time must had passed quickly, she opened her eyes, and all she could see was that white moonlight shining into the bathroom. It took her a while till she was able to get up and sort her thoughts. She had to fight back, nobody should be forced to do something they absolutely don´t want to do, and certainly nobody should be punished or even tried to be killed for not following orders. Her little body was shaking, and she felt a little scared, but she was still brave enough to find a little dagger and hid it behind the shower curtain. She breathed deeply, trying to be all strong –  but she was just eight. Yes that is right, she already had birthday while she was put in the coma. Slowly she made her way into the bathtub and behind the curtain, she hid there for a good while. Then Alma started making a terrible noise, she heard footsteps, it sounded like just one person came closer, she stopped breathing and took the dagger in both hands and continued making noises. The door opened, somebody came in and walked directly towards the little girl and ripped the shower curtain apart. Alma couldn´t do anything but starting to terrible scream and stab the man with the dagger…

Apparently she aimed well enough to stab it right into his chest, the man stumbled around and screamed at the little girl. “I knew it would end up like this, but it is not over yet…”, he coughed. Blood started to cover the floor and his body started to shut down. It felt like Alma drained all of his energy, his body language showed first signs of unconsciousness. Little Alma just yet realized what she done, she was torn apart of her feelings, but seeing this man there made her even more angry so she climbed slowly and quietly out of the bathtub and stood behind him, looking up at this strong being yet so fragile human. As more and more blood covered the floor the man sank to his knees. Alma wanted to end it and raised the  dagger once again, but wanted to give the man a chance to talk first…. She would try to forgive – but never forget…

The man to her knees was her father, still holding her dagger she didn´t know what to do. He, the one that took away most of her childhood, that even wanted to risk and end her life for his benefits and in order to make her better. His life now was in the hand of eight year old Alma, what would she do?
