For so long, people believed that everything was fine. That everyone was normal, even though deep down they knew they were living a lie. Some of these 'Mutants' as they were called lived in silence, knowing what they were but never saying anything.
"Stop!" They girl called out "I don't want to hurt you" She continued but her pleas fell on deaf ears. The boys surrounded her, their faces held smirks.
"Hear that, she doesn't want to hurt us." One boy mocked. All the others laughed.
"Stop, I'm serious." She told them as they ripped her back pack away from her. They looked though it but found nothing worth their attention.
"I say we have a bit of fun with her." Another boy said. They all agreed and began to laugh as she tried to walk away. She closed her eyes and suddenly the laughter died away. The boys all stood frozen in place. Literally frozen in ice.
"I warned you." The girl whispered to them sadly as she picked up her back pack and walked away from them. So wise and powerful, and not yet 10 years old.
Some of these teenagers and children are provoked into showing their 'abilities'.
She walked down a dark alley, her arms wrapped around herself. The alley was silent. She could sense someone following her, watching her every move. She quickened her pace. Her footsteps echoing around the alley, suddenly she felt a pair of arms push her against the brick wall.
A gruff man pushed against her, running her hands all over her.
"Hey there pretty girl." He whispered in her ear. She felt something hard against her leg.
"Let go pervert!" She screamed. He growled at her.
"Shut up." Rage filled her as well as fear. With all the force she could muster she pushed him off. She must have been stronger than she thought because he flew and hit the brick wall with a dull thud. He crawled away slowly as storm clouds came over head.
"What are you?' He asked breathlessly, his eyes wide with fear. Rain begins to pour and lightning and thunder are heard and seen. The girls eyes become cloudy and the roots of her hair are turning white.
"Your worst nightmare." She whispers looking at him with a scowl. He tries to pick himself up but he was frightened. He manages to stand up only to have her smirk and step closer to him.
"Run." She orders. He turned away from her and tried to run down the alley. She smirked as she chased after him. His screams covered by the thunder clapping in the sky.
Others are shunned, moving from foster home to foster home. From orphanage to orphanage. They never had a real home, with parents, with love.
The petite girl sat on the bed, her knees pulled up to her chin. She heard the younger kids playing on the stairs. Their laughter. The brunette girl sat completely still, remembering all the times she played on the stairs.
Until she realized she was different. No one would adopt her now, not with what she was.
Seeing as she was caught up in memories, she didn't notice the woman standing in the doorway of her room. Looking at her, puzzled.
"Why don't you go play with the others?" She asked gently. The girl almost scoffed, others. What others? She was the only pre-teen at this orphanage.
"No thank you." She responded curtly turning back to the window. The woman sighed at left her alone with her thoughts. But not only her thoughts but the thoughts of everyone on that street.
The man in the suit, worrying about his wife finding out about his affair.
The woman pushing the stroller, thinking about the abuse she would get once she got home, but as long as her daughter was ok it would be fine.
The little boy sitting on the curb, wondering what it would be like to run away from home, find parents who didn't fight. Parents who didn't throw things when they were angry.
The teenage girl sitting in her boyfriend's car, hoping that he'll take the news of her pregnancy well, but knowing perfectly well that he wont.
Everyone on that street, and everyone that had once passed through that street had no idea that a young 12 year old girl was reading their thoughts.
She didn't intend to, but she couldn't help it. Thoughts overwhelmed her, filling her mind all the time. Some she didn't even understand.
Of course some children do grow up with parents, not always loving but they don't complain. However its hard when you spend your entire childhood in a doctor's office, treated like a science experiment.
"Daddy?" The small blonde girl whispered. She looked up and met her fathers eyes. They were cold and uncaring.
A doctor walked in, a nurse on his heels. He made his way to them quickly and strapped the little girls wrist to the table along with her heels. Her face was down, pressed against the cold metal.
"Dad?" She asked once more, only this time a tear raced down her cheek.
"Its for your own good sweetie." her mother whispered in a pained voice. She looked up at her father and saw nothing but disappointment in his eyes. The nurse stared at the little girl, her eyes filled with nothing but disgust.
They began to clip her blouse down the middle of her back, being careful along her shoulder blades.
Once they removed the piece of clothing, her wings came into view.
They were absolutely beautiful, snow white. Her wings were covered with white feathers. Like those of an angel. However they were quite small, seeing as she wasn't all that old.
She looked up at her father. His features showed no emotion. His eyes no remorse. She looked at her mother, but she was no help either.
The nurse began to pour something on her back, avoiding her shoulder blades. The girl drew in a breath as the liquid came in contact with her skin. It burned and itched.
"Lay still." She commanded. The girl stopped fighting it, she knew she had no choice.
Some might ask why people never noticed, why people did nothing to help. Its quite simple really. They didn't want their picture perfect lives to be shattered. Could you imagine? The shame of having a mutant child?
"Mom! Look!" The young raven haired girl screamed out with glee. Her mother walked to her, amused by her only daughters antics.
"What is it?" She asked as she approached the child. The girl looked up at her and smiled.
"Look what I can do." She raised her hand in a swift motion over a rose bud. And just as her hand passed over it, it bloomed with life. "Isn't that amazing?" The girl asked seeking her mothers approval. Her mothers eyes glazed over as she took her daughters face in her hands.
"You are to never do that. Do you hear me? Never. Do. That." She gripped the young girls arm forcefully. Causing her daughter pain.
"Yes mom." The girl mumbled out through the tears in her eyes. Her mother sighed with relief and let her daughters arm go, not knowing the pain she had just caused.
Even today, some kids find out about their 'mutation' by complete accident. Never knowing nor caring what it means.
The boy sat in his classroom, mindlessly looking around. His attention wasn't on the teacher as it should have been. He rolled a pencil around his desk. Not paying attention to the boy sitting behind him.
"Hey freak." The boy behind him snickered. He turned around.
"What do you want?" he asked venomously.
"No need to get angry, just wanted to know what you were looking at." The boy said with an unconvincing voice. He rolled her eyes and turned back to face the front.
"Hey I'm talking to you." The obnoxious boy tried again. He didn't pay attention.
They boy behind him grabbed his shoulder and gave it a really hard tug. At that moment the boy turned around and faced him. Time froze.
Literally froze.
No one was moving and the teacher was standing perfectly still, with his mouth open as if someone had hit pause in a movie.
"Awesome." The boy mumbled as he walked around the classroom. Staring at all of his class mates faces. He turned back and faced the boy that was harassing him with a wicked grin on his face.
All of these children have one thing in common. Their special. They can do things no one else can, but of course society shuns them away because they're different.
Now these children could be the solution to day old problems, they could prevent wars. They could do things no normal human could. But of course its up to them, seeing as its their decision is they want to help a race that fears and hates them or if they wish to protect their own kind.
Of course things aren't always that easy.
