Chapter 12 Secrets revealed
I woke up sweating, and sat in the end of my bed.
"Umm, honey are you ok."
"Yes, yes I'm fine, I just forgot to clean a few things I'll at the daycare so I'll be heading over early, oh and I'll probably be coming home late again because Melody is coming around again, to dig deeper into this girls files." I Smiled at him.
"Ok, but just take it easy . . . And don't creep her out like you did the last one."
"Yeah. That kid nearly killed me.
"Get away from me you freak." Screamed a boy.
"No I swear I am just trying to help you, I promise." He threw lightning bolts at me, it grazed my arm.
"Well if you have tried to defend yourself you wouldn't have even got a scratch."
"Yes but I could have hurt him really bad. Oh my goodness it's 5:30 I have to go." I yelled at him as I ran out he bedroom door.
"Mrofinu ym ni em sserd." As I said that my uniform came flying out of the cupboard and onto me.
"You do realise that you can calm down because you could get ready and at the day care in a couple of seconds."
"Oh yeh I could, well then do you care to eat breakfast with me."
"Why not." He got up out of bed.
"Dnabsuh ym sserd." I said and he was dressed.
"You do realise I can dress myself."
"Yes but if I had let you we wouldn't have even had a couple of minutes together." Soon our couple of minutes were up.
"Sorry honey but I'll have to go." I gave him a kiss.
"Eracyad eht ot em ekat."
"Come on scarlet, get out of bed it's time to go." I crept out of bed and looked at the clock on the floor where the table used to be.
"But it's 5:45, it's too early."
"Yes but the daycare opens at six on Thursdays, so I'm dropping you off now. I've got a nail appointment at 6:30."
"Yes and why anyone would book a nail treatment that early is beyond me." I sighed as I got out of bed. I walked slowly down the hall when I remembered what happened yesterday, and as soon as i got to the daycare I was going to ask Mrs Everglades if I could practice my powers during the day.
"Coming mum." I screamed down the hallway then came back to my room. I looked toward the cupboard, I was happy and wanted to chose a happy colour to wear. But all I had in my cupboard was red and black. I never understood why mum only brought the colour red for me to wear, I loved the colour but sometimes like this I wished I could wear something else, I reached in and grabbed a bright red not a dark, it almost seemed like a reddish pink so I put the t-shirt on happily, and reached for some faded black jeans that looked more of a bluey-grey. I ran down the stairs.
"Ready to go mum."
"What about breakfast?"
"I'm not hungry right now and besides if it's this early in the morning I'm sure they'll have something for me to have when I get there."
"Okay then get in the car." I did and within a matter of minutes we arrived at the daycare. We looked at the door, but it was still locked, mum looked at her watch.
"It should be opening in a couple of minutes, I'll go and grab your things." She stepped out of the car. I sat there and thought about what I would say to Mrs Everglades. When suddenly she appeared, I rubbed my eyes to see if I was dreaming, but I wasn't she had just appeared, she was a mutant, and that means that the whole daycare must be for mutants, I wonder if mum knows about that. Hmm she probably doesn't even care.
"Mum, it's open."
"What, but I didn't even see the teacher arrive here."
"She must have come in a back way."
"Yeah i guess so, anyway here's your bag I have to go now." She threw my bag at me and drove off.
"Quite a mother you have there." I heard Mrs Everglades say.
"Yeah. She's lovely isn't she." I rolled my eyes.
"I've seen worse, ok maybe not that bad but still." Mrs Everglades gave me a sympathetic smile.
"Ok umm I want to ask you something."
"Shoot me." Mrs Everglades smiled at me.
"Umm put me in the naughty corner or something if I'm wrong, but is this a daycare for mutants?" I asked, Mrs Everglades stared at me,and the started to laugh.
"I'm wrong aren't i?"
"No quite the opposite, but I'm laughing because you are the fastest person to realise."
"But how could I not when all the kids around me were using their powers?"
"You would think it would make it oblivious, but a lot if kids take up to a week to connect the dots, and you took one night." She smiled at me, she was actually impressed.
"What are you looking so happy about?"
"I'm sorry, but it's just that this is the first time anyone has actually been proud of me, most of the time my mum just yells at me for destroying her furniture because I touched it."
"Ahh so that's what spontaneous death is."
"What you knew?"
"Well not all of it, I know that you have the powers spontaneous death and light, and that you wear your gloves so that you don't destroy anything but that they are made of a special material that stops you from using any of your powers, but your parents conformed that they didn't tell us everything about you, I was actually hoping that you would tell me more?"
"I would love too . . . But I would also like to ask a favour."
"Sure, anything."
"Umm am I umm aloud to take these gloves off and practice my powers?"
"Yes of course, i mean we will just have to be careful that you don't touch anyone, but even if you did we have a healer, yes it is one of the students."
"So I don't have to wear my gloves."
"No I don't see why you should well just as long as Louis is here you can."
"Oh thank you thank you thank you." I ran over and gave her a hug, she was unsure at first but then loosened and hugged me back.
"Oh but please just don't tell my mother."
"Don't worry, oh and if you don't want to call her mum, here you don't have to."she looked down at me smiling, and we both walked inside.
'I cant believe it she was the one that made friends with me first, I hardly even had to confront her.' I looked down at her.
"So scarlet I can see that you have some hate towards your adoptive mother would you mind telling me why?"
"Well Ruth isn't nice to me, she doesn't like that I have powers. When she adopted me I was normal it was like my mind was keeping my powers suppressed but then when I reached about age 6 I started to get surrounded by light. Ruth was terrified and didn't know what to do so she went to some other mutants and asked if they had anything that she could use to hide my powers, and they did. A pair of gloves that would stop my powers from being activated, but me being a child never wore them and soon my powers grew stronger and then the spontaneous death kicked in, and I was forced to wear the gloves, if . . . If I took them off she would glue them to my hands, but I never understood that it was bad what she was doing. And now I am never aloud to take the gloves off, to her the gloves are what make me normal, but I don't want to be normal, yes I don't want to kill anyone but I don't want no powers at all my powers are what make me me."
"I completely understand, and when Louis gets here I'll tell him the situation."
"Thank you Mrs Everglades." She smiled up at me.
"This is a daycare for super natural beings, and it's not fair if we don't let you use your powers."
"Why do you call us super natural beings, and not mutants?" She asked me.
"Because to me being called a mutant means I am a mutated version of a human, when really I am just a human being with a larger potential."
"Well I'd rather be called an SNB than a mutant." She smiled at me, and I smiled back.
"Well as soon as Louis gets here I would like you to show me your powers."
"That would be great, but I just don't really know how to use them because I've been forced to wear these gloves so I haven't even gotten a chance to learn how to control my powers." She looked down at the floor.
"That's ok, well learn all together."
"Yeh that sounds great."
