A/N: Another short chapter sorry... :( It's sort of hard, when you have school, drivers ed, yearbook, big brother big sister, and a freaking cold (as I'm typing this I feel like shit...). Plus me writing another story. Did you know that writing two different stories is harder than it looks? Well to me it is. Anyway before I continue to ramble...ENJOY! :D
I got the first kicks and punches at my so called father. I was mixed with emotions. FYI, being a mutant with the ability of fire, and mixed emotions, don't really mix very well...especially if your beating the living crap out of someone. Have you ever beat the living crap out of someone? It's pretty fun, though I highly recommend you NOT to do it...unless your in a mental hospital like I am, then go for it. Go for it, and make sure it's really really bloody... You can kill the person for all I care about, just make sure you cleaned up after wards.
Oh yeah, while your beating the person up, be free to curse all you want. Yell, scream. Do whatever you want to get your anger out. But as for me? Yelling, cursing, beating a guy up, doesn't actually calm me down...I prefer burning something. Though Dante stopped me from burning my-so-called-dad, so I'm burning up something that doesn't scream in pain. Petty.
"Cammie, you ready to ask your dad questions?" Dante asked down the empty dark hall.
"NO!" I screamed back, my flames grew larger on the non-screaming-in-pain-object.
"You can't keep on burning that thing...and don't you want some answers from your old man?"
"...maybe..."
"Then stop being stubborn!"
"I'm not being stubborn!" I said in defense. Dante came up behind me, and picked me up and threw me over his shoulders. "HEY! Put me down!"
"Nope." He walked through the abandoned hallway to the room, where my-so-called-dad was tied up, and beaten.
Dante sat me down in front of my dad, and then sat down in front of the door. "No one's going anywhere, until someone talks..."
I groaned and looked at my father, who was looking down, and his lip was bleeding. I got up and took a tissue and wiped his bruised face with it. Being daughter like, I suppose. I sat back down, and relaxed. Looking at the ceiling I asked: "What was mom like?"
Without looking, I knew that Dante had raised an eyebrow, and Mundus lifted his head a little. I asked again. "What was mom like?"
"She...she's was...amazing. Tracy, your mother, was very beautiful, and caring. Before...before she died. She loved you so much, that no one could tear you two apart." He laughed a little. "I mean, once you were out of your mother's grasp, you began to cry. You would only stop until you were back in her loving arms."
"What happened to her?"
"She died."
"No duh, Sherlock," I said sitting up and giving him a glare. "How did she die?"
"...She...her..." He had a hard time spitting it out, I know it was sort of rude to ask, but I'm a girl who grew up not knowing who her parent's really where. Only to find out that one of them is a killer doctor and the other one is six feet under. "Her powers killed her..."
This got both, Dante and my attention. "What do you mean?"
"Her abilities are the same as yours. The ability to control fire, but it's a blessing and a curse in her family. All the females in the family get the ability to control fire, but they also have a curse. The curse is that they die. From what, we have no idea. It depends, I suppose. Your mother...Tracy died of internally bleeding. No one knew how or what had happened to cause it...she was very young..."
"How young is young?"
"Twenty-five...though it depends on the genes, I suppose. I remember Tracy telling me, that her older sister, died at age fifteen of a heart attack, and she was in good shape."
"So wait...is Cammie going to die?" Dante asked sounding like his voice almost cracked.
"It's likely..."
"When?"
"As I said before...it depends. You might die today, tomorrow, a month, a year, a century...it just depends."
Oh that's fucking great. Can my life get any fucking worse? Oh wait...yes, yes it can. Fuck my life!
A/N: Am I sensing the plot is thickening? Maybe, maybe not! Though, i really did a major foreshadow... :(
