Good afternoon mom, I entered the car greeting my mom
Michelle, how is school today, she ask
Not fine mom, Danny and Sonia found out about me
What!, how what happened?
My eyes was hitching me as usual so I went to the ladies to remove the lens for a while, then I heard Sonia shouting outside, I rush out to find the school bully snatching her bag, I couldn’t put on the lens back, I don’t want them to hurt her
Oh baby, you did the right thing going to aid your friend, what did Sonia say
I lied to her that it a lens but…..
But what, her mom ask getting nervous
They eyes…….
Nevermind, her mother cut her short, we are moving
Again, when are we ever going to stop running, mom, am tired, can’t we just live normal for once
Her mother ignore her stepping on the pedal
Reaching their apartment, she park the car, go upstairs and park a few of your things, I will put a call through to Caleb
Michelle stomp out of the car, going up the stairs angrily without saying a word, she remove her sunshade and throw it on the bed, she look at her eyes in the mirror, damn you f…c…k..g eyes,
Michelle calm down and let’s leave now, you don’t want your power getting out of hand right now, it will only complicate things, have called Caleb, we will be going to his place
Okay, she replied taking a deep breath, I started shoving things inside my bag, I don’t even bother checking the things am packing whether they are necessities or not, I mean does it matters now, this is like the uptenth time we are moving.
Each time anyone find out about me, we move, oh sorry guys you don’ttime we are moving. Each time anyone find out about me, we move, not just me being Michelle, the 17years old popular high school girl because of her rare beauty but me being Michelle the weird girl.
Yeah am weird, so so weird, the weirdo with the most ridiculous and mysterious eyes, I was just a normal girl growing up normally until I turned 16 and these strange things started happening, at first I thought I was having a eye problem
But nope I was not guys because if I were my mom would have taken me to the hospital and spent all her dime on my eye but she didn’t instead she gets me contact lens for my left eye which is so so silver in colour with a purple ring that sometimes swirls in a circular motion.
I would have definitely go crazy if not for my mom who told me it nothing rare cause it runs in the family and all, she wouldn’t tell me everything, each time I ask she just wave it away telling me I will understand sooner or later.
Am not convinced though, I mean if it runs in the family why didn’t she has the same eye color like mine
Ever since then if anyone find out about my strange eyes, we move almost immediately, I didn’t question her at first because I get to escape from being tagged d weird girl and meet new people who doesn’t know about me, but trust me guys am getting tired of moving and it just so frustrating
What do you intend to do now, she has to leave now or……, I heard voices downstairs, I love closer to the door straining my ears to hear the conversation.
Or what, must I send her there, why can’t she live a normal life like a normal teenager do, I heard my mother and her twin brother, uncle Caleb talking down the stairs . What has she done wrong to deserve this, she said, the only wrong she did is being born, I heard another person, do we have a visitor.
People from the other side already detect her presence, no matter how you run, they will get to you, she’s not safe here anymore, the person continued.
you can feel them don’t you, they are near and will be here anytime now
I heard various rushed step coming up the stairs, I clutch the door handle with my sweaty hands, my mom and uncle rushed in with a strange man in a black cloak,
Make your decision Margret, the man said to my mother, he must know her very well calling her by her name . But you are here, she said, you can protect her can’t you, have never see my mother so nervous and scared like this before, at the same time I don’t fail to notice so kind of connection between my mom and this strange man, why does he need to protect me
We have been running all our lives but she’s has never behave like this, am taking her the man grab my hand, Caleb immediately we leave, get Margret out of here, I saw my Uncle nodded looking as nervous as my mom, I look her, tears falling out of her eyes with unspoken pains, mom what’s going on, I finally find my voice, who is this and where is he taking me, Uncle Caleb what’s happening I ask confused
Michelle, I will find a way around this and we are going to live like a normal family, I promise you that, she held my hand. Let her go Margret this is no time for this , the man closed his eyes, a white mist covered my room, mom!, mom!, are you there? I look around, it suddenly daylight, where are we, I ask seeing trees all around, Michelle, the password is Scotch egg, your mother told me you like that, I won’t accompany you, I have to make sure your mother is safe. So you are going to leave me in this forest all by myself, where the f…k are we?, I ask turning around to find him gone
