What did you say dad?(Esa's POV)

It was time. It was finally time to tell dad about my hair. Mary and I had agreed to tell dad after dinner. We also told mom not to say anything and she thought it was a great idea, But I'm still freaking out like crazy. The Head warmer that has been covering my hair ever since dad came back was now on the bed,so my hair is bare but I didn't touch it, and it's not something I'm looking forward to anyways. And just to be on the safe side I wore my white silky pyjamas to avoid any colour reaction.

I moved to the window and let the night breeze calm my nerves.

"You okay Esy?" I turned around to see my best friend,she was wearing my type of PJ but pink. I'm so grateful she's staying for the night cause I know that what ever dad is gonna tell me I won't be able to take it alone.

"I'm okay Mar" I said with a smile "is dad free?"

"Yeah sort of he's just tidying up some leftover work but he isn't to busy....I suggest we go now."

"You're right" I stared at the sky one more time before putting on my head warmer.

"Let's go" Mary led the way and I trailed behind.

"Knock knock" Mary gave my hand a squeeze before mouthing "you got this" I smiled and nodded.

"Come in"

Dad was going through some stacked papers that were lying on the table, he seemed immersed in his work that he didn't even know it was us.

"Cupcake I'm still working" his back was facing us so he couldn't see it was us.Mary just giggled.

"It's us Dad" I said almost laughing.

"Ohh"he turned around and was looking rather flushed "I wasn't expecting my angels to be here,is something wrong?"

"There is something we want to show you" Mary who had been standing by the door stepped forward and held my hand,giving me the comfort I need.

"Are you okay Esa?" Dad asked worriedly. I just smiled and took of my head warmer.

Dad's eyes went wide as saucers. For a moment I thought that they would pop out of his sockets.

"So soon?...Hold on dear" he started scrolling through his phone. So soon? what did he mean by that? was I supposed to be sick in the future but it came earlier than expected?

"Dad am I going to die?"Dad dropped his phone on the ground after what I said,and Mary turned to look at me with a horrid face. I know she was scared after what I said.

"No dear don't harbour such thoughts in your mind, you are not dying.....you are fine"Dad walked towards me and placed a kiss on my forehead "You should be proud" he continued.

"Proud?"

"Yes dear"

"But why?what happened to my hair?"

"Dad is it very serious?"Mary asked dad out of confusion, the whole thing was confusing. like why am I supposed to be proud that I have blue hair? I knew she was confused too.

Dad sighed. "I was looking for a contact of a friend of mine. He can give you a better explanation on this ...but for now I can only say this...You have powers!"

I didn't think I heard that right. Was dad joking with me? I laughed inwardly,Mary didn't say anything she had that face of conviction. Maybe I heard wrong or something.

"What did you say dad?" I perked my ears to hear properly this time.

Dad just smiled "You have powers Esa!!"
