There was no warning, there was never a warning. Never did anybody believe that the mutant registration act would become a law. Never did anybody ever think it applied to them. Most with passive abilities that did not affect their appearances thought that the government would overlook the, but the sentinels took care of that. After so many disruptions were caused by assumed mutants, the government decided to make sure the new generation of mutants was educated to not use their abilities. But, instead of teaching them the proper way to use them and when, they planned to take and isolate them from the public for their own use. They began to test it on a selective group of young mutants found in Oregon.

Indigo Kaar

I had absolutely no idea what the heck just happened and I did not want to anyway. One minute I was in my room doing homework and the next moment I was in the kitchen. One moment I was normal, the next a mutant. I had heard about them and how anybody could have the genes within them. I just hoped to God that I just couldn't remember going down the stairs.

My mom, in the kitchen at the time, was frightened by the appearance of me and I had no idea what to say. I couldn't hide it anymore. Just a couple of weeks ago, I would begin to move places faster, but little did I know, I wasn't moving there, I was teleporting. My body would be in one place and then another. I was ashamed to tell my parents, but I couldn't hide it anymore.

"Indigo," my mom began, "can your father and I talk to you for a second?"

My eyes, filled with fear did nothing but stare. What else could I do but nod. My mother moved past me, whispering something in my dad's ear as he pushed himself upwards on the couch. They sat next to each other and waited for me to enter the family room. I wished that I never walked in, but I couldn't keep them waiting. Or could I. I could run away, into the woods and never come back, but I knew that I couldn't. So, I walked in and sat the opposite from them.

Nobody spoke for a bit, only an awkward silence filled the room.

"So, this might be a little hard to take in, so, um, your father will explain it to you!" my mom panicked.

He gave her the stink eye and spoke, "Indigo, sweetie, you know what mutants are?"

I nodded as a knot formed inside my stomach.

"Well, your mother and I are both, them, so that means you are too. But I think you already know that huh?"

The knot tightened as I nodded, still in shock. I knew it was true, but a little bit of hope was still alive. Well, now it was dead. I managed a question though.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"We didn't want you to worry," my mom finally spoke.

"Well, so what now?" I asked.

"Nothing, we just want to know about what you can do, so we can help you act, um, well," my dad responded before I interrupted.

"Normal!" I interrupted.

Their faces went pale white and neither of them knew what to say. They looked at one another unknowingly. The awkward silence returned so I decided to fill it.

"Well, I think I can sorta teleport places, but I don't know how, it sorta just happens. One minute I'm somewhere and snigger I'm sorta just, poof, gone!"

Their faces looked intrigued and the silence was at least gone.

"Well I have no idea how to help you because we did not think you would have abilities anything like that, your father and I both do not have very physical powers," my mother continued.

"Ya know what," I began, "I just want to be alone right now and just think this over."

Before they could respond, I ran to my room, but before reaching the top of the steps, my body felt like jelly and I was already in my room.

"Gah!" I screamed, "stop doing that!"

My anger filled up inside of me. Why had my parents never told me? Why can't I control it? And why me!?

I flopped onto my bed and screamed into my pillow, I needed help. Not controlling it, but controlling my feelings. And I knew who I could trust, or at least I hoped. Tomorrow at school, I was going to have to confront my best friend.

"No, no, no," I thought, "I hate my life, nobody, even my best friend, who still like a mutant!"

I just have to wait until tomorrow for my appending doom. I can't believe in a matter of one day, my whole life was ruined!
