Author's note: If ya'll have any plot ideas (Even if you think they're really bad) you'd like me to use you can message me them or leave them in a review. I've got a very vague idea of where this is going and the more idea's I get the more interesting this gets.
Ellie's POV
We got back to the house, I was still in shock from what my brother had done. At least Jacob is gone. I don't even know why I was going out with him. I guess it's cause no one else even paid any attention. Looking back at it I should have gone with no attention. To late for that now, he's outta my life and he'd better stay that way. We got inside and Mom and Dad were in the living room talking to Mickey about something. Whatever it was it didn't sound or look good. Mickey's head was hung down and his eyes were closed. Dad was saying something about not to do that ever again. Whatever 'that' is. We were about to just walk past them and go upstairs but Mom looked over and saw us. "Kenny, Ellie there you are."
We stopped walking and looked over at her. "Hi Mom." Kenny said trying to mask the worry he felt inside him. Don't see why, he looks terrible. His hair's a mess, his clothes are torn and he's got mud dried onto him.
"What happened to you?" she asked looking Kenny over.
He laughed nervously and with his free hand- he hadn't let go of mine yet- rubbed his neck "Well uh…it's a complicated story."
Our Mom sighed "Sit down." she looked over at Dad who had stopped lecturing Mickey. "Mickey you can go now." she said to him. He nodded then ran up stairs. Unknown to anyone but him at the time he hid at the top of the stairs and listened to our conversation. Me and Kenny sat down next to each other Mom and Dad sitting on the other part of the couch. "You gonna explain what happened?" Mom asked.
Kenny sighed "So I was out in the park and got into a fight. No big deal right?" Mom looked at him sternly as I elbowed him in the side. Lying isn't gonna get us anywhere. Kenny glared at me then looked back at Mom and Dad "Fine. I was spying on Ellie but I was doing it to protect her!" he said somewhat forcefully, trying not to get into trouble.
Mom sighed and Dad said "Son, I get you want to protect your sister but you need to tell us when you think there's something wrong."
Kenny sighed. "Fine. Anyway to finish the story. Turns out the reason Ellie's been coming home bruised and cut is because of her boyfriend. I got into a fight with him while trying to protect Ellie."
Mom and Dad both looked at me. "Since when did you have a boyfriend?" Dad asked sternly. I looked at the ground, not wanting to talk. Mom sighed "Anything else you two have to say?"
Kenny looked like he was about to say no when he sighed "Yea there is." Mom and Dad looked at him confused. "When I was fighting he knocked me on the ground and was kicking me. Ellie tried to stop him but he hit her for doing something 'out of her place' and then…I'm not sure how I did this but somehow I managed to electrocute him. He's still alive, don't worry but what I did…What I can do. I-it scares me."
Dad sat there in shock while Mom came over and hugged Kenny "We'll take care of this. Okay?" Kenny nodded and Mom smiled "Now why don't you two go upstairs and get ready for dinner." Both of us nodded and went upstairs.
When we got to the top of the stairs and saw Mickey hiding Kenny looked like he was about to explode. "Kenny, calm down." I said. I glanced at his hands and saw them curled up into fists with tiny little sparks jumping out from his hands. Mickey looked at Kenny as if he was disgusted by him. I could see he saw the sparks too. I looked at Mickey "What were you doing?"
Mickey looked at me "Nothing you two freaks should care about." he said, venom in his voice. That sounded way to evil for a nine year old. Kenny was biting his lip trying as hard as he could to keep his anger under control. Mickey was always jealous that I had inherited dad's ghost powers, now that Kenny had powers…he must be really ticked off.
"Mickey what's wrong?" I asked, trying to sound like I care but I think we both knew I didn't. After nine years of dealing with him I've lost hope for that boy. Maybe he'll get over it when he's older.
Mickey scoffed and sarcastically said "Oh I don't know. Maybe it's the fact that I'm the son of the legendary Danny Phantom but I'm just a normal boy while my older sister is a halfa and my brother is some sort of mutant. My life is a freak show."
"Dad's not a legend. He's just really special around here." I clarified.
Mickey shrugged "What ever you say. Didn't he oh I don't know save the world and reveal himself in the process?" he asked in a smartypants kinda way.
I sighed, trying to keep my anger out of control. "Listen Mickey, he may be well known and yeah me and Kenny have powers but you don't have to get all upset about it. We aren't freaks Mickey, now go get ready for dinner. Mom's orders." I said. I had to get him away from Kenny before Kenny explodes.
Mickey sneered at us the walked away down the hall. "Whatever." then mumbled under his breath "Why must I live in the middle of a freak show?"
I sighed before pulling Kenny the other way down the hall to our room. Why we share a room when mom's family has the money to get us a mansion I don't know. I guess dad wanted something a bit more…normal. Makes since with all the weirdness in our lives.
Kenny went into the bathroom and started looking over himself to see how bad he was hurt while I changed into some plainer clothes. Sure I love me denim jeans and jacket but around the house sweats and no jacket work just fine. When I was changed I went into the bathroom to check on Kenny. He had his shirt off, looking at the wounds on his chest and back. I frowned when I saw his cuts and bruises. Kenny looked at me but didn't say anything. Obviously he was still mad at Mickey. I sighed and grabbed a wet washcloth, sitting down in a chair so I could easily clean his wounds, then started washing his cuts. "You shouldn't be mad at Mickey. You know he's just jealous that we have powers he doesn't."
Kenny sighed "I know, it's nothing to do with him. It's just…you are all the time trying to help people but never help yourself."
I set the wet cloth down and grabbed some band aids big enough to cover his cuts as well as some anti-biotic spray. "Why should I help myself? I'm just another face in the crowd."
Kenny winced as I sprayed the anti-biotic on him "You should help yourself because if you don't you'll end up hurt. Like you are now."
I stood up so I was almost eye level with him "I'm not hurt Kenny."
Kenny sighed "Either way, I don't want you to get hurt." he said as I got back to bandaging his cuts.
"Kenny will you please stop being so protective. I get it you're my older brother but I can take care of myself." I said as I worked trying not to sound to mad, but honestly I was mad. He's always been a little protective of me but now…it's like he thinks since we both have powers we're somehow more responsible for each other.
He sighed again "I'm sorry Ellie, I just want to keep you safe."
I nodded "I know ya do Kenny."
Kenny's POV
A few minutes later Ellie had finished bandaging me and I was in clean clothes. I hurriedly brushed my messy hair, trying to get out the dirt and grass but it still looked really bad when my Mom called for Ellie, Mickey, Lily and I. I was the last one down for supper. Mom and Dad sitting next to each other at the table with Mickey and Lily to mom's left and Ellie sitting across from Lily, to Dad's right. That leaves me the seat right across from Mickey. I stifled a laugh as I sat down. Mickey and Lily are the twins but Lily copies Ellie in everyway…except the powers, obviously.
Mom served the food. It was roast with potatoes and carrots. For sides we had red beans and rice. A great dinner but why? Mom doesn't fix this nice a dinner unless something special is going on. For now though, I'm not gonna worry about it. I'm just gonna enjoy the great food. We all got our food and I dug in. I had missed lunch since I was spying on my sister. My sisters and mom took a more polite approach to the food. Girls. My Dad however dug in just the same as I did, Mickey…well he's always been the odd ball. He didn't dig in or be completely neat either.
While eating we all talked causally. The only one who didn't talk was Mickey. Most likely because he's still mad that now I have powers to. "When am I gonna get a phone like Kenny and Ellie?" Lily asked.
Mom smiled "When you're their age."
Lily pouted "But mommy their really old!"
I laughed and said "Well thanks for that."
Lily giggled "Sorry Kenny."
Ellie smiled "Hey Lily, what do ya say tomorrow the two of us go to the mall and go shopping?"
Lily smiled and started bouncing in her seat "That's a great idea Ellie!"
Ellie smiled "Yep, then you get to do the same stuff I do so obviously you've gotta be my age right?" she asked, obviously letting Mom know to get her a phone.
Lily smiled broadly "Oh yes! Of course that means I'm as old as you."
Mom rolled her eyes "Maybe." Lily smiled, knowing that a maybe is better than a no.
After dinner Ellie and I cleaned the dishes while Lily and Mickey ran off to go do whatever it is they do. Mom and Dad lingered in the kitchen talking while we worked. As soon as we were done and about to walk out Dad asked us to sit down. I sighed and did as asked. Here we go again. I thought about saying something about knowing me and Ellie's room is a mess but it's mostly Ellie's mess. I didn't though because something in my dad's voice and the visage on both him and Mom made me think it's not about my room. After an awkward moment of silence Dad said "Your mother and I were talking and we think it would be best if Kenny went to a school for the gifted run by a man named Xavier."
I stared at my dad in shock and Ellie asked "What? Why?"
Mom sighed and said "It's for the best. Kenny is…different."
"So? I'm different and you haven't tried sending me off to any school." Ellie said.
Mom nodded "Yes but that's because we know how to teach you. You're like your father. Kenny isn't a ghost or a halfa. He's what's called, for lack of a better term a mutant."
I sighed "Mickey was right, I am a freak."
Ellie grabbed my face and made me look at her "You're not a freak. You got that?" I nodded just to get her out of my face. Ellie sighed and looked back at Mom and Dad "You can't make him go."
Mom sighed "Listen, we're driving up tomorrow to visit the campus. You both can come if you'd like okay?"
Ellie nodded "I'm coming." Then looked at me.
I looked up and nodded "I'll go visit. Don't expect me to stay there for to long though."
Mom nodded and said "Okay then. Both of you go get packed then go to bed. We leave at 7A.M."
I nodded and stood up to leave when I heard Ellie ask "How long will we be up there?"
"About a week." I heard Mom respond. Without a word Ellie walked up to me and grabbed my arm, pulling me up to our room.
Ciara's POV
So long all my friends. Now that the whole school knows I'm a mutant you can be pretty sure all my friends are gone. They probably all think I'm a freak, if I do still have friends then wow they are really good friends. Guess they would have found out one way or another. But all the same how good a friend was I being by keeping a secret from them? Anyway Rei and I got home and are now talking to our parents about our powers. Dad's a little disappointed that neither of us got powers from our parents but they're both glad we've got powers. Not that they want to send us away to Xavier's school up in New York where we won't see them for months at a time. "So yah wantin' ta go ta the Professor's school?" Mom asked. Wonder why she still calls him the professor, I mean sure he is still the professor but not her professor.
Rei nodded "Yea. We agreed on this during the bus ride home."
Dad smiled slightly "You two agreed on somet'in'. Remy is amazed."
I rolled my eyes "Dad, don't even start with the third person talkin' and ya we agreed on something. It ain't the first time it's happened."
Dad laughed "Sorry, you know I can't resist some times."
I grumbled then said "Whatever. But Rei's right, we need to go somewhere that can teach us about our powers."
"Not that we don't think you two could." Rei added quickly, to avoid causing offence.
Mom smiled slightly "Well Ah don't see why ya'll shouldn't go. You see any reason why they shouldn't go Remy?
Dad shook his head "None at all chere."
Mom nodded "We'll leave for the school in the morning. Why don't you two go get packed?"
I nodded and hugged her "Thank ya mom." then ran upstairs to my room to get packed.
It took a while to get packed cause I had to get plenty of clothes to chose from cause I never know what I'm gonna wanna wear and I had to run upstairs and downstairs then back upstairs getting this that and the other. I also had to run and ask Mom or Dad several questions like how long would we be there or where are we staying and what's the temperature like there. Finally after about five or six hours I was packed. Rei had finished a while before me and was sitting in my room talking to me. I was sitting in my room talking to Rei. "What do you think the school will be like?" Rei asked.
I shrugged "How should I know? I've never been there."
Rei nodded "Fair enough."
"Though if I had to take a guess I'd say it looks like a really big mansion with red brick walls and a big golden gate at the front of it." I said, using my horrible skills of description.
Rei chuckled "Well I think it's gonna be a average size mansion with a smooth white rock wall around it. The only break in the wall being the simple steel gate with some sort of symbol in the middle of the gate. The mansion it's self will probably be made on the outside with the same white rock as the outside wall but the inside of the mansion is the really nice part. It's probably got cream colored wallpaper and matching carpet. The furniture will be nice and big and poofy." he said ending with a smile, showing off his superior skill at description.
I laughed "I like big and poofy furniture."
Rei smiled. "It's poofy."
I laughed "Do explain why you like to show off in descriptive skills?"
Rei shrugged "I don't know. I just do."
I sighed and leaned back in my seat. "What about the people there? What do you think they'll be like?"
Rei shrugged again "Now that I can't say. My guess is they're like us and Mom and Dad. Why? You're not scared are you?"
I laughed slightly "No I'm not scared, just not sure what to expect."
Rei nodded "I understand how you feel. Going someplace new is something I've never been good at."
For the next few hours we talked about anything and everything.
Rei's POV
After talking to Ciara for hours while she packed and after we had both finished I needed to do some stuff online. I know it sounds pathetic but I had to tell my friends and teachers I would be leaving, not that I doubt Mom and Dad could do that. I just wanted to make their job a little easier. So I sat down on my bed with my laptop and got started working. I sent out emails to my teachers at school, all fifty of them. Then my friends I had to customize the messages. I couldn't just say 'I would like to inform you that due to recent developments I am going to be moving to a private school. I do regret that I will miss the end of the school year but I wish well to everyone.' like I did for the teachers. Dang, if I sent that to any of my friends they'd kill me. Specially Jonathon. That guy would hunt me down and murder me in my sleep then destroy all my stuff. So for him I sent him a special email that said 'Yo bud, I'm gonna have to go up to New York (I know it's soo far away) to go to a school for the Gifted. Before you ask why (Cause I know you will ask) I'm going to a school for the Gifted I need to know that you won't tell anyone. If you can do that then I'll explain. If you can't then talk to my parents. Sorry bud I'm gon' miss ya. I'll be back for the holidays I hope.' Then Sam also needed a special message but I'm not gonna write out all the messages. Basically all my friends got special messages. The one person that it hurt to leave most was Kat, I was gonna ask her to be my girlfriend but then my powers developed and I got scared she'd find out and leave me.
Once all the messages were sent I also went to the other sites I'm members of and told me friends on them that I might not be on as much. It's sad having to leave my friends…then again Jonathon, Sam and Kat were my only friends, but they're incredibly close and great friends. The only person closer to me than them is Ciara. After all my goodbye messages were sent I changed for bed, brushed my teeth and laid down in bed.
I tried to sleep but it didn't work very well. Weather I wanted to admit it or not I was nervous about going to Xavier's school. How was I suppose to know what it would be like? The description I gave Ciara was just to show off. Honestly I had no idea what it would be like. One thing's for sure, Ciara better not be defending me against everyone like she normally does. To humans she's more powerful but at the school there are other mutants, other mutants that very well may be more powerful.
Author's note: Hope ya liked it! Again I'd be glad for any plot ideas. When things start getting into the holidays it will get harder to update anything but I will do my best to keep all my stories going! Specially this one cause it's a lot of fun. You'll see just how much fun in the future chapters.
