Chapter One What the hell?
My mood right now a angry. "That wasn't so bad right Cat?" my adopted brother asked, his bluish green eyes on my face.. "Yeah it was fantastic, Aiden, please respond turthfully, how do you expect me to do that when I can't remeber anything" I snapped. He rolled his eyes. "Don't roll your eyes at me damn it" I said. "Your in a bitchy mood Cat" he snapped back as we turned into our drive way. "That man at the interview from school freaks me out" I said. "No, I don't thinks thats it at all" he said. "Oh really I'd be happy to hear you some of your ideas why I'm like this" I said. "Well you were abducted by alians and-" "Aiden if I'd been abducted you'd be up there with me" I said. He snorted. We walked into the house. It was quiet, but eerie. "Mom?" Aiden called out. WE waited for a bit. Nothing. "Didn't mom say she'd be home" I asked. "Yeah" he said. "Cat" "What Aiden?" "I didn't say anything" he said. "Then who did" I asked. "Kids" a voice called. "Mom" we shouted in unison. "Cat Aiden, get out of the house!" my mothers voice shouted. "Mom" Aiden called. Our mom staggered on to the top of the steps. "Mom, are you ok" Aiden asked. "No, listen to me now, leave the house, go to Bixby" she said. "Mom what is going on" I dimanded. She didn't reply, she just melted if thats the right word. I can't explain it, she just, just melted like and ice cube in an oven. Aidne grabbed my arm and dragged me to the car. We were silant most of the way to tha airport. "What the hell happened" he asked. I looked at him, he look as freaked out as I felt. "People just don't melt" he said. "Its not normal" he kept on going. I reached out and tuched his arm. He looked at me. "Bixby" was all I said. He nodded. A few hours later were in a hotel in Broken Arrow
"Caterine, I'm from Bixby" a voice called to me. I looked around the dark hotel room for the voice. "No child, I'm not from the room your in, I'm a mindcaster" "A what" I whispered. "Mindcaster, child pay attion, my name is Madeline" the voice said. "What is going on" I asked. "Child, your mother didn't melt" "how the hell do you know about my mother" I asked. "I know what she is, she's no dead, I'm sending someone at midnight for you and your brother, be careful child" the voice said. What the hell is going on? I looked over at the digital clock on the dresser. 11:56
Note: the mother"melted" but the this is it's another midnighters talent, it will be explained further, in the next chapter sorry for the confusion.
