Chapter 1: I'm a what?
Sitting up on my bed I took a deep breath. I wasn't sure what exactly to approach first. Taking another deep breath I decided to face the problem head on like my brother taught me. Focusing on my lamp I controlled my breathing, feeling the air around my hand respond, I nervously sent it to the lamp. It was hesitant but it did listen to me, the lamp hovered and moved off my dresser. My hands began to shake, the air didn't want to listen to me anymore, I stiffened a breath trying to keep a hold on it just long enough to-'CRASH' It dropped to the floor. It must have been louder than I thought because I heard two sets of feet moving around down stairs, my parents were up. Something interesting, ever since I began using my...'gifts?' every time there's even the slightest change in the earth, air, water you get the idea I just have to know about it.
Sliding under my blankets I pretended to sleep, my parents apparently didn't notice the pile of broken glass on the floor. The door clacked shut once again I took a breath of relief. This whole problem started when I accidently froze my bathroom, then accidently melted the ice. My bathroom turned from an ice skating rink to a swimming pool. I managed to convince my parents that the water and screaming were all because I slipped and fell out the shower. After that I considered it all a fluke it wasn't until 3 months later it happened again, I sneezed and flew 10 ft in the air and I swear I thought I was going to die.
Now the elements are talking to me, I wonder if I'm just going insane. Before you ask yes I know about Xavier's school for the 'Gifted'. Gifted of course meaning mutant, people; how do I know about this you ask? My Aunt and Brother are both mutants must be all throughout the genes. Well why can't I go? Because if I do then who'll be with my parents? I saw how sad they got when Evan left and I'm not going to put them through that again. Oh I forgot to mention I'm both Spykes' younger sister (By a few months to be exact) and Storms niece.
Skipping to the point there were three things I was absolutely sure of. 1: I can't let my aunt or brother know about my powers 2: If I leave it'll absolutely crush my parents and 3: My powers are growing more and more out of control and if I don't do anything about it I don't know what'll happen.
That morning I gave a smile to my parents, it was Saturday no school and I refuse to ruin my day with stress. Mom put some pancakes in front of me. I know what I literally just thought but I couldn't help myself "Mom, do you and Dad miss Evan?" I asked carefully. Her look was confused and just a bit sad "Well of course we do, but going to that school is what's best for him and besides" she said giving me a kiss on the cheek "If spent all day and night missing Evan then what would we do about you?" Feeling guilty I shoved a bunch of pancake in my mouth "I-shu-yo'd-hink-huff-shmundin" I'd barely managed to say.
Taking a big gulp I got up "I'm gonna go to the library, I'll be back before dark" I said grabbing my phone and bag. It was my favorite Domo-kun backpack (A bag that looked like Domo-kun instead of Domo-kun looking like a bag). Before grabbing my Gir hoodie (noticing a trend here?) and heading out the door.
On the way to the Library I noticed a big oak tree. Taking a breath I placed a hand on the trunk. I could feel it all the things that had happened that day, baby birds being born, a kite getting stuck in the branches all of it flowed into me like a movie playing in my head. I loved it.
Stepping back I gave the tree a smile I took a sharp intake of air I felt someone coming, a boy on a skate board. "Evan?" I asked more myself than to anyone in particular. I turned only to see a blonde kid on a board rolling past me. "Of course" I sighed. Gingerly I pushed a lock of hair out of my face and made a mental note to pick up some more dye. Like my aunts my hair was beginning to turn white, my eyes were still brown though. Continuing to walk I dialed as number into my phone "Hey Auntie O It's Aurora" She responded almost immediately in her warm and elegant voice. "Oh hello Aurora, it's been too long how have you been?" "Fine, fine and I assume Evan and you are doing good?" I asked. "Yes, we're fine but is something wrong? You sound...strange" I made a quick decision. "No, I'm fine but...do you think I can see you today?" I asked "and Evan of course" She sounded slightly confused but seemed to hear the underlying urgency in my voice. "Sure, I'll come over and-" "No! I want to go over there, I'm sorry but it's the only way, please?" I asked. There was a pause "I'll come to get you as soon as I can" she confirmed. "Thank you Auntie"
It took Auntie a bit to get to me outside of the library. "So, do your parents know about this?" she gave me a look causing me to move around in my seat. "Not exactly" "and by that you mean-" "No, not at all" A sigh escaped her lips. "So, what's wrong?" I gave her a smile "Nothing at all, I just wanted to visit" We pulled into the X-mansion.
Aside from Evan I wasn't really familiar with the other X-men. "So, you're starting high school soon?" Ororo asked in an attempt to make small talk. I gave a nod "Yep, where's Evan?" I asked ready to see my favorite (and only) brother. "Spyke and the other X-men are out right now" a man said before wheeling into the room.
"Hello professor Xavier, it's nice to see you" I said politely. "It's good to see you Ms. Aurora, you look well" I gave a nod as he wheeled over to me and my aunt. "Ororo, may I speak to your niece alone?" At that moment my body froze over "I hate to do this to you but those plants are going to die if they don't get any water soon" She gave a confused smile and got up. "Get the bonsai tree on the left by the window first" I called. Two seconds after I silently cursed at myself.
"That was oddly specific for someone who has never even been to the green house" I grabbed the soda Auntie got me and basically chugged it. "I haven't told Ororo anything" he gave me a smile. My words were caught in my thought I forced myself out of it. "Uh, um th-thank you, thank you so much professor" I breathed. "I choose not to tell her or Evan for your sake, but you do need training" he gave me another smile allowing the information to sink in. He handed me a card "You're a good girl and I'd hate for things to get out of control for you"
"Yea, all right" I smiled as I heard a door open "Professor we're-oh hi, um Aurora right?" It was Scott, "Yea, it's nice to see you again" I greeted. "Evans here if you want to see him" he tried. "Yea I'll go see him now, thanks professor" stepping out of the room it took me two seconds before I was greeted with a giant smile and a hug.
"Evan!" I cheered squeezing him back with twice the strength. "I've missed you!" I heard something that sounded like a poof "Just who might this be?" I heard a thick German accent. Un-latching myself I turned to see a boy with blue hair. "Hi, I'm Aurora" I gestured to myself "Evan's sister" "Younger sister" as he just loved to point out "By a few months" I added. An idea popped into my head "Actually my birthday is coming up and I was wondering if". "Yea, of course Auntie O and I will be there" In case you haven't noticed he and I have a habit of finishing each other's sentences.
I smiled "Yea but no" I looked around "I actually think I want to have the party here" A surprised look came over my brothers face he paused and shook his head lightly "That's not really my" "Don't worry about it, I was already planning on asking professor X so" I added the last part awkwardly. "Just don't get your hopes up, I'm not sure if professor X will want to throw a party for you…nothing personal just you not being a mutant" "Yeah" I drawled trying to think of the next words to say. "Well, you know me, I'm pretty good with people" I gave him a smile. I was already going back on what I had told myself I wouldn't do. My nose tingled, no way I was gonna sneeze here.
Moving away I looked at him "I think I wanna" I thought for a bit "Explore the place" It took me less than a second to run away. My brother tried to call after me but it was too late. I'd like to mention that I'm planning on trying out for track this spring. Turning at a corner I couldn't hold it in anymore. Taking a deep inhale I let out a sneeze blowing me through a door. "Ouch" I (dizzily) got up. One hand on the door I smashed through, at least what was left of it? "Oh crap" I looked fearfully at the door. "Think; just think for a second…this is a school full of mutants, right? Anyone could have" I let out a breath "Shattered the door…I shattered the door!" I can't believe this is happening right now. "So you're not planning on taking responsibility then" a thick German accent asked. "Uh, um" I tried trying to get my story straight. I turned to see the blue haired guy with the red shirt. "O-Oh hi, I…um" "Kurt, we never got introduced" Lifting my chin I tried to play defense "Uh, what are you doing here?" I asked. "It's my room you…blew through" crap! "Well, sorry about that"
Straightening myself I inhaled "Well sorry…bye" with that I attempted to take my leave. "Wait" he called, with that I spun around trying to seem nonchalant "Yea? What is it?" "You broke my door, I think you owe me an explanation" I cleared my throat "Oh, that well…uh, you know" I looked at him, he was completely unconvinced. Straightening out my hoodie I sighed. "Well, think…what else could blow a hole through a wall" with that I pulled off my hood. "You're a mutant?" he asked. I gave a nod "Yea…I think so" it really felt good to say it.
Thinking it was one thing but saying it was totally different. "I can't believe this" "That makes two of us" I breathed. "What about Evan does he know? Or Storm, what about her? What about your parents" "No, no one knows, let's just say no one knows at this time" feeling irritated, confused and all around out of it I looked at the guy I've only known for a grand total of 5 minutes and just told my biggest secrete to. "Y-You can't tell anybody" I said snapping out of it. "Whoa, whoa calm down!" he said holding his hands up "No need to freak out" I let out a breath "Sorry, I'm sorry it's just…I'm pretty freaked and confused and I'm" I shook my head "Just sorry again for the door and everything else" pushing my bangs out of my face I left.
"Uh, wait" he called again. I turned "If you need some help" he poof-ed from where he was standing and re-poof-ed next to me. "I'd be happy to lend a hand" I blinked a few times, giving a wave I left.
I decided to call the Professor later and get my plan started. I said good bye to my brother and had my Aunt take me home. The car ride was silent but nice. Trying to get my head together only one thing was going through my head, whatever was going to happen it wasn't going to end well.
