THE BURDEN

The Burden is a curse that can only be transferred in between witches. The person taking on the burden must be willing to accept it, and the other who already has it must be willing to give it to them. The person inflicted with The Burden is given a multitude of abilities like telekinesis, telepathy, pyrokinesis, empathy, and other possible psychic powers. The Burden strengthens over time, giving the person more abilities as it does. Those abilities then strengthen over time to the point that the gifts become a burden. Below are the abilities that have manifested within Daxton.

Daxton was the second born to William Larsen and Mary LeBlanc in the small Massachusetts town known as Willow Creek. Daxton was always incredibly close with his big sister as she is only about four years older than him. The LeBlancs were not one of the more wealthier families in Willow Creek, but they were definitely comfortable. Their grandfather moved to Willow Creek back in the 70's while their mother was eleven years old. He opened up a flower shop in town, and Mary grew up running it alongside him; still doing so till this day. By the time Daxton was almost two years old, the sibling's father disappeared. Mary and William often had issues, so when the children were born Mary decided to give them her last name; since she wasn't married to William. The two always planned to wed, but they'd often get into arguments and break up off and on. So when he vanished, Mary always assumed he skipped town on them and left her to raise the kids. With the help of her grandparents, they managed to give Daxton and Belle very comfortable and good lives.

Growing up, their mother taught them that they were witches. It was a secret that ran in their family and they were known for their exceptional potion making within the magical community thanks to their extensive knowledge on different herbs. Both of the children were taught about magic, and how to control their active abilities when they manifested. They were shown their family's book of shadows which contained all kings of magical knowledge within it. Demons, spirits, evil witches; there was so much out there and their family were protectors. They had to deal with those things by either banishing, binding, or destroying them. As they continued to grow older, the the two began to ask questions about their father. Mary didn't keep any secrets from her children, and told them that he was also a witch and that they often had fights. She explained that she didn't know where he went or what happened to him. Daxton would often use magic to try and find his father, desperate for the father figure in his life.

Daxton's first ability to manifest was that of speaking with animals. He could always do it since a young child, but he didn't realize other people couldn't hear them. He had a deep bond with wildlife and it's because of it that he would go into Veterinary Medicine. He left his sister to help run the flower shop alongside their grandfather and mother. Daxton met his best friend Holly McKinley at a very young age, and the two were inseparable. Even as soon as 1st grade the two called each other boyfriend and girlfriend. He always shared his crayons and fruit roll-ups with her. Their friendship grew stronger and they stayed a couple all through elementary school. In Middle School they'd be each other's first kisses. They'd hold hands, exchange quick pecks on the lips. Then came high school and things became more serious. Daxton always thought he loved Holly and he wanted to marry her one day; he'd said that since he was 6. His feelings were always true, but he never realized he wasn't physically attracted to his best friend.

He was extremely confused and in denial that he was attracted to other boys. He didn't think it'd be a problem with his family or friends but he was sure he was going to be with Holly. It was his junior prom; he was 17 and she was 16. After the dance, the two planned on sleeping together. The night was perfect, everything went great until they got to the hotel room. The two kissed and made out; being a bit handsy. It was nothing they hadn't done before. When it came down to the deed however, Daxton's body was not responsive. It was embarrassing, but it just wasn't working... Holly of course thought it was her fault and thought he wasn't into her. Which she wasn't wrong but it wasn't because of her. "I think I might be gay..." Daxton said, both of them half naked and looking at each other awkwardly. That night would forever be the most embarrassing moment of his life, as well as the moment where he felt like the biggest disappointment and jerk.

The best friend's relationship was strained to say the least after that. They didn't talk much over the summer, and slowly the two figured things out during his Senior year. The two stayed extremely close, and sometimes you'd think they were still a couple. People often mistaken as them being together but when you're that comfortable with someone and they know you inside and out, why wouldn't they? After graduating high school, he went off to college in the city and stayed on campus. Now it was time to explore his sexuality and feelings more. He met a couple of guys, but he never clicked with any of them and nothing ever went farther than a bit of kissing. Once he was 21, he went to his first gay bar and that's where he'd meet Evan Thorburn. Daxton sat alone at a table, drinking a drink quietly and keeping his eyes on his phone screen. He texted Holly the entire time; feeling out of place and weird. Evan approached, slid in the booth across from him and struck up a conversation. Daxton was shy and reserved, having no idea how to act. He found Evan pretty attractive and the two talked for hours, drinking together, until it was time for the bar to close up. The two ended up leaving the bar and kissing outside of the bar and then they were in Daxton's dorm room.

From that moment on, the two continued to see each other without a label. Then they were dating for a few years. And then about a year ago they were moving in with each other. Daxton has fell for Evan, but he has no idea that Evan has a drug and alcohol addiction. About a month ago Daxton and Belle received a call from a psychiatric hospital in Crawford City. Their father was admitted there and had been for a while; one of the nurses managed to track down his family. The siblings quickly went to meet him, but he was completely out of his mind. He was in so much pain mentally and physically. He kept mumbling something about the burden and that he wanted to give it away. Daxton, not realizing what it was, offered to shoulder the "burden". He thought that whatever their father was going on about was metaphoric. Willing to take it, and their father willing to give it to him, the two gripped each other's hands and their palms glowed in between them. Daxton's eyes widened and he gasped. When it was all over their father was suddenly okay, overwhelmed by relief. He looked into his son's eyes and shook his head. "You shouldn't of done that." And then he was gone, vanishing. Leaving both Belle and Daxton a lot of questions about where their father went and what happened between him and Daxton.
