What happen? Why do you seem frightened.
"It's nothing" I said hugging her tight. I think am hallucinating.
Hallucinating? What are you saying
Yes hallucinating. So what do you hallucinate?
It's nothing second mom.
Are you set for today lesson? Yes I am. I'll come downstairs straight away I need to adjust my self.
Okay, alright.
*******
So what did I teach you yesterday?
She smiled at me. "I thought you won't remember". Bring out your chemistry textbook we are starting from there.
Okay.
Through out the lesson I kept thinking about the guy.
Firstly, his image came on picture and now I can't get my mind off him.
Kathy what are you thinking? What's in your mind your distracted.
It's nothing.
****
Mum. What is it child.
I saw a guy and the look he gave me was scary.
A guy? How does he look like? The he have this kind of green eyes? "She said having this worried look on her face.
Yes mum do you know him?
Kathy we have to leave here! It's not safe for us anymore "she said with this scary look on her face.
Mum, mum..
Wait, calm down.
Mum! "I yelled when she won't calm down and won't stop running around like a chicken"
Kathy, you know what.. we have to pack and leave here okay?
"I blinked..but why mum?"
Were are we going to?
We have to leave in the city. It's going to be safe for us there.
Leaving in this unknown place is dangerous.
Mum, we have been living here for the past 18 years!
And all of a sudden you want us to Leave just like that?
I was suppose to be happy, happy that am going to see the outta world.
But I can't find one bit of happiness.. this place is part of me.
Am afraid of what the world there is going to look like.
I don't have friends.. no nothing about the world there expect what I see in movies.
How am I going to cope?
You know what? Mum am not leaving.
Kathy! We must leave! She yelled angrily at me having a scared look.
"Ok mum" I said feeling so down.
But what about dad? Where are we going to? I said picking up my clothes inside a bag.
"No reply"
Mum, does this even make sense to you? Where are we even going to!
Me and your dad have this plan okay?
Mum do you have something you are not telling me.
"We are going to tell you later when it is the right time for it"
Mum is this not the right time to tell me?
Kathy, let's focus on how to pack quickly okay?
Mum is it true I have powers.. "I ask on our way out the house I stop when I see outside for the first time".
I close my eyes.. open it back, close it again open back. I did it for like 14 times.
I laughed foolishly.. "mum am dreaming right? Pour me water please".
Huh, mum please.
This is not a dream Kathy! And come in the car!
Kathy! She call me but when she saw that I was not moving from where I was standing she came out of the car and pull me inside it.
Kathy's mom p.o.v
When Kathy told me about him.
I was shaken and afraid.
That guy he's name was Richard.
Richard was his name but we did something terrible to him.
We were framed for what we did to him but we were also guilty of what we did.
But someone had salt to it and he vowed to avenge.
By killing Kathy!
And Kathy must not die .. she must save his father.
The person Kathy called Dad is not her real dad.
But I can't tell her now because of her powers.
She must not get angry and hurt because of the circumstances.
I don't want to tell her ... Because if that.
Thank goodness I have things prepared. "I know this is coming one day."
Mum! The outer world is so beautiful.. see that!
I jolted.. "what? Kathy".
Kathy p.o.v
Freedom! At last.
I open the car windows to enjoy the breeze.
I finally got to come out of that hole after eighteen years of my life.
This is a dream.
Everything look so new to me how am I going to cope with this type of environment.
Mum.. see that "I screamed in excitement"
What is that?
I point to some two kids holding a thing. The thing look like foam and they were licking it.
Jeez.. Kathy that's ice cream.
Really mom... "Yes".
****
We get to our new house and mum settle everything.
She was calling dad and I use that time to sneak out.
Our new home was beautiful than the other one.
"I was happy this happiness within me".
I bumped into a person.. "oh sorry"
"Wow" Are a star or a model? I love the way you dyed your hair.
No, I didn't dye it. It's my real hair.
Eeww.. your lying, who is gonna believe that. You are a bad lier.
Am serious... Am not joking.
She touched my hair.. for real?
"Yes" I nod at her .
Come here.. she pull me.
This is my house, stay here okay?
Huh, what is she doing?
Then boom soapy water was on my hair.
What the... "Buff.. water .. soapy water went into my mouth"
*****
Wow.. it's really your hair. "She said touching it".
Am Kira by name and this is my house.
Who are you?
I was amazed.. "she didn't screamed in fright like others".
I quickly told her about me.
You saw me and the front of my house.
"Can we be friends"I
"Really" I said smiling from hears to hears. This is the first I will be having a friend.
Yes.
Ok no problem. I said shaking her.
But Kira I don't remember the way to our house.
Ok ..I will take you back home
