Chapter 4

I get on the bus and look outside. I see alot of people walking hand-in-hand with their loved ones. I've always been alone...correction I was on a team but they hate me. Nobody looks at me but they are giving me these strange looks towards my chest that's sitting next to me. I ignore their stares as I go to sleep. I've been on this bus too long. Soon enough the bus finally stops and I get off of it dragging my chest with me. There's a huge banner that says in large big black letters, 'WELCOME TO BAYVILLE!'.

BayVille, huh? I check as to what money I have in my pocket, enough for a good hotel room. I look around and spot a hotel just a few feet further from the bus stop. I drag my chest towards the hotel and barrow a bag boy's luggage carrier. I wheel the chest towards the front desk and pay for my room. I quickly go to my hotel room and lay down on the firm bed. I get somewhat cleaned up and take a look around the hotel once I hid my chest underneath my new bed. People aren't really that friendly here but what can exspect from the recent news about mutants being everywhere. I really should try not to think about the others but I just can't. Some of them were really nice but I'm sudenly taken out of thoughts where I heard a child screaming. I look around for the child's voice when I see a 2 story house that's on fire. The child is trapped in that burning house and with no way out. A crowd has formed but no one is doing anything. I run up quickly to the front of the house and say quietly, "Fire, stop your fury.". The fire starts to die down but the child is still too scared to come down. I break down the door and run inside of the house. I pull up my shirt to my mouth and look around for the child. I see her cowering in her room. There's smoke everywhere and the fire wouldn't calm down for a long period of time. If it starts up again I won't be able to stop it fully and we'll both not make it out alive.

"Come on, kid. We've got to get out of here, now.",I say in-between coughing from the smoke.

"I'm scared and my mommy's at work. She told me to wait for her to come home.",says the little girl but I can't really tell what she looks like with all of this smoke.

"It's best if we both get out in the fresh air and then we'll call your mommy. She'll be sad if you were hurt.",I say as the little girl nods and I grab a hold of her.

I see that there's a window that's easy to open in her room. I open it and look down. Unfortantly she just had to have the 2 story bedroom. Great, just my luck.

"Hold onto me tightly and just look at my face. Okay?",I say as she nods and I can tell that she's looking up at me. She grabs onto my waist tightly and then I jump onto the roof. I balance myself and then grab a hold of a nearby tree limb. Unfortantly it breaks under both of weight. I hold onto the girl protectively and let myself fall onto the ground. I let go of her and look down at the ground. We're only a 2 inches off of the ground but I've got new cuts and bruises to deal with not to mention my eyes and throat are like they are on fire.

She looks down at the ground and notices that we didn't get hurt. Her ecpression changes drastically as she screams. I lost my mental concentration and we both hit the ground together. She runs away from me scared as the neighbors all saw my amazing gift and cover the girl up with a blanket. Here it goes. Sometimes I wish I was normal but then again I wouldn't be able to get money just by thinking about it. It's better then a credit card.

"She's a mutant. Call the police!",says a neighbor as a few more get into the strange riot. I hear someone start to dial numbers on their cell phone and I hear the words fire and mutant. Do I really want to stay here and be probed on by big strong police and medical personel? What do you think? Hell no so I do the only thing I can think of at the moment...I run for my life and go back to my hotel room. I gather my stuff and pay my tab at the hotel. The employee looks at me strangely but doesn't say anything.

As I try to run from the police cars my energy starts to give out and all I remember is hearing alot of cars stop in front of me. They are here for me and then I end up falling down in the dirt.

When I finally wake up, I am greeted by a police and his K-9 unit that's a German Shepard. I put out my hand towards the dog as it sniffs my hand and then bends it's head low. I scratch it's ears as it wags its tail excitedly. The policeman didn't approve and jerked his K-9 unit away from my grasp.

"Why am I here?",I croak dryly. My throat feels like someone stuck a cottonball in my mouth. I take a drink of water and it feels somewhat better. "Rumor has it that you're a mutant and that you started that fire. Then you saved that girl to cover up your tracks.",says the policeman. This is already getting old. "Yes, I'm a mutant and I didn't start that fire. Can I go now?",I say as the policeman shakes his head. "We still need you in for questioning.",says the policeman as he throws me into a jail cell that smells like puke and something else that's best left up to your imagination. "So what's a pretty thing like you doing in a place like this dump?",asks a male adult that is decorated with numerous tatoos. "I'm a mutant, enough said.",I say annoyed as even now my new cell mates are somewhat afraid of me. And people wonder why I'm so damn pissed off alot. Give me a break.
