  • What happened? Why do you seem frightened?
  • "It's nothing." I said, hugging her tight. I think I'm hallucinating.
  • Hallucinating? What are you saying
  • Yes hallucinating. So what do you hallucinate?
  • It's nothing second mom.
  • Are you set for today's lesson?
  • Yes I am. I'll come downstairs straight away. I need to adjust myself.
  • Okay, alright.
  • ******
  • So what did I teach you yesterday? She asked and I told her.
  • She smiled at me. "I thought you won't remember."
  • Bring out your chemistry textbook we are starting from there.
  • Okay.
  • Throughout the lesson I kept thinking about the guy.
  • Firstly, his image came to mind and I can't help but think about him now I can't get him off my mind.
  • Kathy what are you thinking? What's in your mind you're distracted.
  • It's nothing.
  • ****
  • Mum.
  • What is a child?
  • I saw a guy and the look he gave me was scary.
  • A guy? What does he look like? Did 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 wouldn't calm down and wouldn't stop running around like a chicken."
  • Kathy, you know what.. we have to pack and leave here okay?
  • "I blinked." But why mom?
  • Where are we going?
  • We have to live in the city. It's going to be safe for us there.
  • Living here 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 supposed to be happy, happy that I am going to see the outer world. "But I am not."
  • But I can't find a bit of happiness within me. This place is part of me.
  • Am afraid of what the world there is going to look like.
  • I don't have friends. I know nothing about the world there except what I see in movies.
  • How am I going to cope?
  • You know what? Mum is not leaving.
  • Kathy! We must leave!
  • "She yelled angrily at me with this scared look."
  • "Ok mum" I said feeling so down.
  • But what about dad? Where are we going?
  • "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 a 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 asked on our way out the house if I would 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 I'm dreaming right? Pour me water please."
  • Huh, mum please.
  • This is not a dream Kathy! And come in the car!
  • Kathy! She called me but when she saw that I was not moving from where I was standing she came out of the car and pulled me inside it.
  • Kathy's mom pov
  • When Kathy told me about him.
  • I was shaken and afraid.
  • That guy name was Khalid
  • Khalid 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.
  • Someone had salt to it and he vowed to avenge.
  • By killing Kathy!
  • And Kathy must not die, she must save us.
  • 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.
  • Thank goodness I have things prepared. "I know this is coming one day."
  • Mum! The world is so beautiful to see that!
  • "I jolted." What? Kathy?.
  • Kathy pov
  • 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 looks so new to me. How am I going to cope with this type of environment?
  • Mum, see that!
  • "I screamed out in excitement"
  • What is that?
  • I point to the two kids holding this kind of thing. The thing looked like foam and they were licking it.
  • Jeez.. Kathy, that's ice cream.
  • really mom?
  • Yes, baby.
  • ****
  • We get to our new house and mum settles everything.
  • She called dad and I used that time to sneak out.
  • Our new home was more beautiful than the other one.
  • "I was so happy, I have never felt this type of happiness within me."
  • I bumped into a person. "Sorry." I said slowly.
  • Wow...Are you a star or a model? I love the way you dyed your hair.
  • No, I did not dye it, it's my real hair.
  • Eeww.. you are lying, who is gonna believe that you, you are a bad liar.
  • I'm serious and I'm not joking.
  • She touched my hair. Seriously? "She asked."
  • "Yes" I nod at her.
  • Come here. "She pulled me."
  • This is my house, stay here okay?
  • Huh, what is she doing?
  • Then boom, soapy water was on my hair.
  • What the hell! And boom, soapy water went into my mouth.
  • *****
  • Wow.. it's really your hair. "She said touching it".
  • I'm Kira by name and this is my house.
  • Who are you?
  • I was amazed. "She didn't scream in fright like others."
  • I quickly told her about me.
  • You saw me at the front of my house.
  • "Can we be friends?." She asked.
  • "Really?." I said smiling."
  • This is the first time I will be having a friend.
  • Yes.
