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 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 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 of 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 p.o.v
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 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 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 use 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 nodded 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.
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
