Chapter 1:
"Mom! Where are my gloves!" yelled fifteen year old Bastet from her bedroom on the second floor.
"On your bookshelf, as usual!" her mother yelled back. Bastet looked over at her bookshelf and sure enough… they were there. The reason she needed them was because for some strange reason, she school was having silk spirit day.
"There you are," said Bastet walking over and putting them on, making sure that her silk sweat-shirt looked alright then she grabbed her favorite book and backpack and ran downstairs.
"Hurry dear. You're going to be late again!" said her mother shoving Bastet out of the door. "Have a good day Honey!" Bastet waved good-bye to her mother and ran to her bus stop just down her street where she met up with her two best friends Lorna and Avalon.
"Uh, hi Bastet," said Loran uneasily.
"What's wrong?" asked Bastet looking at her two friends uneasily.
"I'm a mutant I just found out this morning." whispered Lorna nearly crying. Bastet looked at Lorna in shock.
"Are you one too?" she asked Avalon who nodded silently.
"I can create and control fire I found out last night." replied Avalon sadly.
"And I can read people's minds," said Lorna quietly as more people walked to their stop.
"It's no big deal guys," said Bastet smiling at her friends. Their faces lit up. "So are you people ready for silk day?"
"Uh… who though that day up anyway?" asked Avalon as their bus pulled up.
"I seriously have no idea. But I love silk so I don't really care." replied Bastet getting onto the bus and sitting down beside Lorna as Avalon took the seat in front of them.
"I can tell," said Lorna pointing to Bastet's attire. Which was blue silk pants and socks, purple silk gloves and shirt. Bastet looked embarrassed but luckily they reached the school by then.
"Hey freaks. What are you people doing here? This is a loser free zone." stated Courtney walking up to the three girls, her group of friends followed behind her.
"Leave us alone Courtney," said Bastet in disgust. "We are no freaks." Courtney laughed as did her friends.
"Whatever, I'll see you after school, behind Mac's and we'll see about that." replied Courtney flipping her long blond hair behind her and walking away.
"Oh… you're in trouble Bassy." stated Avalon, Bastet nodded her head in response.
"Let's go before we are late for class again." said Lorna pulling her two friends into the school. The rest of the day went by slowly, Bastet always looking at the clock nervously every five seconds. By the time last bell rang she was a nervous wreak.
"Are you alright Bastet?" asked Lorna seeing her friend shaking so badly she couldn't even open her locker.
"You know I can't fight anyone, I'm such a softy." said Bastet sinking down to the floor.
"Hello, you came in third in your karate class… although I did come in second. But you can win over her that's for sure." said Avalon hitting Bastet playfully in the shoulder.
"Yeah I guess so," replied Bastet.
"And if all else fails… I'll personally burn her for you since you aren't a fire mutant." offered Avalon.
"Great now lets go and get myself killed." said Bastet getting up and walking out the backdoor, across the street and to the outside of the circle of people waiting for the fight to take place.
"Lets get this started," said Courtney cracking her knuckles. Bastet gulped, took off her silk gloves and handed them to Lorna, she walked into the very middle and got into fighting stance.
"You can take her Bastet!" yelled Avalon. Bastet took a deep breath and waited for Courtney to take the first hit on her. Courtney lunged at her with impressive speed and skill. Bastet tried to grab her arm and flip her over but for some reason… her hand went right through Courtney's arm and wool shirt! Courtney tried to hit Bastet in the face but again her hand went right through her!
"What's happening!" cried Courtney backing up in shock.
"She's a mutant!" yelled Jessica, one of Courtney's friends. Bastet looked at them in shock. Avalon took that chance to engulf her hand in fire and stand protectively beside her friend, Lorna did the same… although instead of flaming up, she got into fighting stance.
"Run!" yelled Courtney running away from the three mutants. Jessica whipped out her cell phone and dialed 911 and reported them.
"We've got to get to my house, it's the closest." Said Avalon un-flaming her hand and running in the direction of her house, Lorna following her. Bastet finally came out of shock and followed the others.
"The police are coming!" cried Bastet catching up to her friends.
"Yeah, that's why we need to get out of here!" Avalon called back. In a few minutes they reached her house and ran inside.
"What's happened to me?" asked Bastet sinking to the ground crying.
"I have no idea but I do know that you are like us… semi anyway." said Avalon; Lorna looked over at Bastet.
"I can read your mind to see what kind of mutant you are." she said quietly. Bastet looked up at her and nodded. Lorna walked over and held up her hands beside Bastet's head and concentrating hard. Bastet and Avalon waited impatiently for her to finish and finally she did.
"So…?" asked Bastet. Lorna looked at her strangely.
"Your mutations are really weird," started Lorna. "You have telekinesis but the really weird part is the fact that you are practically a ghost. Bastet, you can only touch silk without going right through it." Bastet looked at her for a few moments in shock.
"You're telling me that if I was wearing something other than silk today, that it would have fallen right off of me?" asked Bastet in horror. Lorna nodded her head yes. Bastet still wouldn't take that as an answer and reached out to try and hit Avalon across the face... but again her hand went right through her face!
"You do know if you actually did hit me, you'd be dead by now." said Avalon, Bastet got up from her position on the floor and went to try one more little exparament... to go though the wall.
"Here goes nothing," she said putting her hands out in front of her and walking right through the wall. Avalon and Lorna ran to the other side quickly only to be met with Bastet kneeling down on the floor staring at her hands. Then, in the distance they could hear sirins coming towards them.
"Give me my gloves so I can actually touch things and lets get moving!" ordered Bastet jumping up, Lorna threw the silk gloves to Bastet, who grabbed them, put them on and started running around the house like a madwoman... which she could be at times.
"Lorna get food, Bastet get clothes, I'll get the money." said Avalon with a sly look on her face. The girls did as they were told and they all started to run around the house.
"ARGH! You have no silk clothes Avalon! We need to stop at my house!" yelled Bastet to anyone who was listening. Suddenly someone knocked at the door. The three girls stopped dead in their tracks in the middle of the hall.
"Hello! This is the police. Open up!" said an officer on the other side of the door.
"The backdoor," whispered Lorna walking quietly towards the back of the house, the others following her. They were almost to the backdoor when an entire team of police officers burst into the house.
"Stop!" one of them yelled.
Bastet thought fast and took off her gloves, passed them to Avalon and yelled, "I'll catch up with you in a second!" she ran to them with her hands stretched out in front of her and she phased through the wall and outside.
"Follow her!" the chief yelled. Lorna held out her hand and attacked his mind so that her wouldn't see them, since he didn't see them he also ran outside to try and get Bastet. When he was gone Lorna sat heavily on the ground, wasted of her mutation.
"Where's Bastet when you need her!" said Avalon running over to her friend and trying to pick her up. Bastet phased through the glass door and ran over too.
"Come on, give me the gloves. If we can get to my house we would probably be safe for awhile," she said helping Avalon pick up Lorna.
"Oh youmutants aren't going anywhere," said an officer picking up his gun and aiming at the three girls ready to shoot.
