Finding Your Way
Chapter 1: The Mutant
I remember the pain, the pain I was in last night. It was horrible...nothing that I would ever want to go through again. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry. Even my mother and father were crying seeing me in that state. All I wanted to do was get rid of those horrible memories that keep flashing back into my mind. I know I'm different now, but I just don't know how different I am. Today's Thursday, I'm meant to be in school but my mum and dad defused me going into that place. I walked downstairs quietly; I listened in on my parents. I know this was wrong but since last night, I know they are both as scared as I am.
"We need to tell her Mary"
"We can't John...what do you think she would do if she found out"
"She has a right"
"She's our little angel...I can't lose her"
"Mary, she is not ours...we both knew this day would come"
"Yes we did, but no in this way. I don't want to let her go"
"She needs to know she is a mutant" said my father, what on earth is a mutant. I've never heard of them before.
"We need to call don't we" Said my mother, Call? Call who? I started asking myself questions
"Then after that we shall tell her, tell her that we are not her parents" Said my father, I can't believe it...I'm not their daughter. I'm adopted! I slowly walked up to my bedroom. I had to re-think things over. There a couple of news things I had found out. 1) I was a mutant (Whatever that is) and 2) I was adopted and 3) My mum and dad were going to contact this school. And I felt scared about the school, about my family, even about this mutant thing.
It was awhile later that I heard my dad talking down the phone, I was scared, I didn't know what to do. I wanted to cry so badly. Then my mother, she came up the stairs and into my room. I just stared at her as she entered.
"Hello honey" Smiled my mother, acting like everything was normal, but it wasn't. Nothing was fine.
"Hi mum, where's dad?" I asked, playing along with her
"Oh talking to work" She said what a lie. We both know he was doing no such thing. I looked at her.
"Mum can I be left alone" I asked, I had a plan. I knew what they were going to do. And I didn't want that to happen.
"Sure...but why?"
"I just want time to think about everything"
"Alright, you do that then...thinking is always good" I smiled at her and watched her leave.
I was going to run away, run away so I didn't have to see my mother and father ever again, I knew they wanted to kill me. My mum started panicking yesterday as I was changing. I need to get away from this place. I ran over to my wardrobe and packed a bag full of clothes, I placed that on my bag. I grabbed some money that lay on my bedside table. I walked over to my window and opened.
"Here I go" I whispered, jumping out of my window and landing on my front garden with grace.
John's POV (Point Of View)
"What should I do?" I asked to a teacher called Professor Jasper Luxton, the head teacher of a school called Xavier's Academy. I had told him about my daughter Charlotte. I told him what had happened last night.
"Keep her there. We don't want her running away and showing everyone her powers. We have done our best to hide our existence" Said the teacher
"Thank You" I said before hanging up on the phone. As I did that I saw my wife Mary walk down the stairs smiling as if nothing was wrong
"So?" I asked
"She doesn't suspect a thing" I sighed with happiness. I don't know what I would do if she ran away.
-End of Pov-
Far away from the house where the Carter family lived was a school. I huge school, with a group of students which were the same age as Charlotte or maybe a little bit older. This school wasn't like normal boarding school, it was a school for gifted, a school where mutants go. Named after a man who started working to help save mutant kind, Xavier's Academy. Everyone who went to this school loved it. Yes it was different but still. The students at the school went to a regular high-school which was on the other side of the town. There were a group of students down on one of the rooms where they discovered new mutants every single day. This machine was called Celebre a re-make of the old machine Celebro.
"What is it Kieran?" Said one of the student looking at his friend
"A new mutant...she has ran away from her home" He said taking the helmet off which helped connect to the mutants and their powers. He turned to a teacher. "Mason I sense you in her" He said, everyone looked at him confused even Mason himself.
"What is going on in here?" Asked Professor Jasper Luxton, the head teacher of the school who was checking up on his students.
