You know waking up after that nightmare was bad I mean really bad. You know what made it worse? The fact that a priest was standing over me. Never mind my mother with her cross and rosary beads. I sat up in bed and tried to put my hand on my throbbing forehead. Nope aint happening. Urgh! It wasn't a dream. A "lovely" black horn right above both eyebrows. My mother always did say I was a "Demon Child". Ha Ha Ha. Oh... Well, that explained the priest didn't it?
"Mom? What's up and what's with the padre?" I reeeealy shouldn't have asked.
"Its all right sweetie" Heh She looked uneasy "Everything will be fine as soon as we figure out what's in you honey"
In me? Um, like blood? Bones? What the hell did she mean by IN ME?! Ever heard of DNA Mommy Dearest?!
"Mom? Your nuts!" I pushed myself out of bed and walked over to my mirror. There was blood caked around the horns and on my face. I hate blood. Ick Ack Ook. God it hurts! "Ma? Where is Zach? and do you really think I'm possessed?" I couldn't help but chuckle, Ok it wasn't that funny, but you have to admit a priest? Give me a break!
"Sweetie... Zach went to stay with Aunty Ray Ray...and Well Sweetie... I don't know what's wrong with you!"
"One-Cut the crap with the pet names, you didn't use them before don't do it now. Two-Watch the news."
Mom to say the least looked shocked and kept glancing between the priest and me as if I was going to burst into flames. Why the heck was she talking to me like this? Aunt Rachel hasn't been Aunty Ray Ray since Zach was five.
"Mom I don't know what the hell is wrong with me but I do know it has to do with DNA mutation or something like that...I saw it on TV. I'm not possessed, I'm in pain so if you would get the hel-eck out of my room I want to go to sleep." I really should have kept my mouth shut, but does it want to listen? NoOoOo.
"Fine, fine, I'm your mother and I'm a nurse and if you don't want to listen to me FINE!" The slamming of the door announced my mother and the priest leaving. And I stared at the mirror like an idiot. I was colorblind and in pain. My head was killing me, my shoulders felt like had weights on them and my butt hurt. Ok, so I'm whining. I can I'm a teenage girl, let me act like it.
I don't get it! On the news mutants have cool powers. Like eye ray beam things! Or they can fly! Or make it rain! What do I get? Horns! And no more color seeingness for me! It was about then I heard the sirens. Yup folks that's right! SHE CALLED FREAKING COPS! Needless to say I grabbed a bad, shoved some clothes, grabbed my wallet and jumped out my window (its on the first floor). So much fun! I got to hide in the bushes until mother dearest realized I wasn't there and started screaming about her freak daughter! Yay!
Hoping that they wouldn't freak out I jumped the fence and landed in Kev. and Ann's backyard. I knocked on Kevin's window, well more like pounded until he opened it up and yelped. Yes, folks yelped, like a dog with his tailed stepped on.
"Kev. Shut your trap its me!"
He stared at me for a few seconds before shaking his head slightly and stepped back from the window so I could climb in.
"What the hell happened to you?!" He asked after I was safely inside before he sprawled out on his bed. Heh. Did I mention he was only in boxers. Major, Mucho, Grande, blushing Haydin!
"How the hell should I know! I woke up this afternoon with a headache and I was bleeding all over the place. Oh yeah, AND I HAD HORNS! Not to mention I cant see in color anymore! My Mom called the cops! there gunna come here! I know it!"
"OK! Ok! Dude, chill out!" He stared at me almost blankly as I shivered in my pajamas before he tossed me a hoodie and I sat down on his bed. A tank- top and boxers is not good to be running around in January in. "look you can stay here! if they show up I'll just say you aren't here. My parents wont come in here anyway. Dad says he's afraid something's living in here." I laughed and looked around. Yeah it was a little messy but no worse than my room. "You can have the bed, I'll sleep on the floor in my sleeping bag." He stood up and walked over to his closet where he pulled out a sleeping bag.
I woke with a start as someone pounded on the door before leaping behind the bed in a corner. It was three o'clock in the morning I don't think it was a wake up call.
"KEVIN! OPEN UP!"
Groggily Kev. stumbled to the door and swung it open. The hall light flooded the room but didn't quite make it to the corner I was hiding in. "What the hell do you want?! Its the middle of the night!"
Mr. Derson's figure filled the doorway but he didn't come in. "Kev. Is Haydin in there with you?!"
"Dad! I told you! She's not my girlfriend! So, NO! I'm not sleeping with her!"
I stifled a laugh as Mr. Dersons face turned five shades of red. "Tha-That isn't what I meant! Her Mom just called, it seems Haydin ran away, so her Mom called the cops, she figured Haydin would have come here."
"Really? Wow! But she didn't come here. So... Night" and BAM! Mr. Derson had the door closed and locked in her face. I let out a string of muffled giggles.
"I've never... hehe... seen his...ha ha...face go s-so red." I climbed back onto his bed as he slumped back onto the floor.
"So...why'd your Mom call the cops?" I looked down at him and only them realized...well, I could actually see him.
"Um.. Kev.?"
"Yeah?"
"Can you see me? I mean see what I'm doing?"
"Uh... Din, there's no light, so No. I cant see you. Why?"
"Cause I can see you... In the dark."
"Cool, I guess that's why you see in black and white..."
I laid back down and pulled a pillow over my head.
"Night Kev."
"G'Night Haydin"
I woke the next morning when Kevin yanked the pillow off my head and shoved a cup of coffee at me. Oh, Beloved Caffeine, Come To Me! Drinking nearly all off it in two burning gulps I sat up and crossed my legs under me.
"Hungry? or do you just want to scald your throat some more?" I looked up at him and laughed. His hair was a mess and he stood there in a T-shirt and boxers with a pot of coffee in one hand and a bagel in the other.
"Ya know, I'm not crippled. And don't you have school?" He grinned and sat down next to me putting the pot down on a table and ripping the bagel in two.
"So I'll skip today, no big deal. Ann kept pounding on my door yelling that she knew I had a girl in here and if Mom found out she would kill me." He chuckled and took a bite of the bagel.
"Yeah, I don't think I really count as a girl around here." I stared at my empty cup and stretched my legs out in front of me with a yawn.
"Oh, I don't know about that." He grabbed my cup and put it on the table shoving my half of the bagel at me. "Eat, You can take a shower if you want when I'm done. You know where the bathroom is." I took a bite of the bagel and watched him grab his clothes and leave. I heard the shower turn on a few minutes later.
I sighed and put my bagel back on the table stretching out on the bed. If I had one true friend I knew it was Kevin. At least he didn't think I was "possessed". Standing up I grabbed my bag from where I dropped it by the window the previous night. I pulled out my clothes and pulled my hair back into a ponytail. I heard the shower turn off and I walked down the hall towards the bathroom. Kevin walked out of the bathroom with his hair up in a towel turban. I laughed and nearly dropped my clothes.
"What?! You think only girls do this? Us long haired Bois have to something with our hair." I shook my head laughing and walked into the bathroom. After my shower I went downstairs where Kev. was sprawled across the couch blasting music. I shoved him over and sat down on the couch. He turned down the music and motioned with his hand to the stereo.
"You like?"
"Who are they? A new band?"
"Yeah... Condemned Delusions. I heard them at a club last week. So, What are you going to do now? You going to go home?"
"Kev. My Mom called the cops on me! I can't go home! What, show up at her house and say `Oh Yeah, Well you called the cops on me and even though you think I'm possessed I'd like to come home now!` Sheyeah right! Aint happening!" I crossed my arms across my chest and stared at the ceiling.
"Well, Ok, but you cant stay here for the rest of your life. Where are you going to go?" I sat up and turned to face him grinning.
"New York City"
