Chapter 10
Mel looked up to the night sky,he let out a small sigh.
Molly came out of the shelter seeing him"you good,Mel?"Mel nodded"I'm just thinking,sorry if I woke you up."Molly day beside him"what's wrong?"
Mel brought his knees to his chest"all of this stuff about me being gifted..I'm scared."Molly looked up at him"you do have a gift,and you know it don't you?"
Mel looked at his hands"I-it's just that it's dangerous and I don't want to hurt anyone if I loose control."Molly gave him a small smile"whatever it is,I'm sure it's important to the prophecy."
Mel stood up and crossed his arms,blowing a strand of white hair out of his face"I don't know.."Molly stood up"maybe it'll help you if you tell someone,keeping a secret is easier with two people."
Mel sighed"follow me."Molly nodded and followed Mel deeper into the woods,Mel stopped and grimaced"now,do you promise not to run?"
Molly nodded as she waited,Mel exhaled a long breath and closed his eyes.
Even though it was dark Molly could see the grass at Mel's feet beginning to die,any leaf or twig in that area crumbled up and died.
The dying grass suddenly stopped as the earth began to unravel,a human skeleton standing up with dirt stanes on his bones.
Molly gasped"you can raise the freaking dead!?"Mel put his finger to his lip"shush."Mel looked to the skeleton"sorry Ben,there isn't anything to do."
The skeleton seemed to frown as it went back in the ground,the grass healing itself"that's so cool!"Molly grabbed Mel's hands"I can already see how cool you'd look with your skeleton gang!"
Mel blushed"t-thanks,Molls."Molly smiled"why didn't you tell us sooner?"Mel looked to the ground"I was scared that you guys wouldn't like me anymore."
"That's silly talk,Mel!we'll always be friends,no matter what!"Mel grinned at her but Molly knew Mel didn't believe her,there was something he was hiding.
"I know that look mister."she scolded"something's still up."Mel pulled his hands away"what?no!"Molly raised a eyebrow"yeah,and I'm the queen."
Mel sighed"I have some bad past with it,ok?it's the whole reason I was at the circus!"Molly put her hands on Mel's shoulders"Mel,I'm your best friend.if you don't want the others to know I get that,but at least tell me?"
Mel sighed"you promise not to tell the others?"Molly nodded and sat down"alright,I'll start with my being at the circus.my parents kicked me out and I was on my own for a while,the circus was the only way I could get food on the table."
Molly hummed"I always wondered why you didn't quit."Mel sat down beside her"yeah,I was also I bit too scared of the ringmaster to quit.but anyways,they kicked me out because they didn't approve of me.said I just wanted attention and they wanted nothing to do with me."
"What did they not approve of?"Molly asked quietly,Mel looked to the ground and rubbed the back of his neck"I-I'm.."Mel trailed off"sorry this is taking a bit to say."he mumbled"it's fine Mel,say when you're ready."
Mel inhaled and said something really fast sounding like"imtrawns."Molly tilted her head"a little slower,please?"Mel sighed"I was born female,I'm trans."Molly looked Mel up and down.
"I know it's ridiculous,maybe I am asking for attention-"Molly hugged Mel"hey,it's ok.i support you no matter what,Mel."Mel smiled and hugged back"you're like the sister I never had,Molls."she whispered.
Molly giggled"and your parents can die in a pit for all I care,this is you and no one can tell you different because..well..you know yourself better then anyone!"Mel let out a sigh of relief "you don't know how long I waited for someone to say that,but,you really aren't mad?"
Molly pulled away"mad!?bitch please,I have a bi poly boyfriend and one of my friends is aromantic.I'm pretty sure I can accept someone who's trans."Mel chuckled"thank you,Molly.for everything."
"No problem,now,let's head to bed."
