Chapter 2- The Secret
"Why did you skip class, and bad mouth the teacher?!" hollered her mother Emily, her eyes had look stern, there were marks on her face as she had eyed her daughter. The veins had shown deeply arounder her eyed, it looked as though she didn't get any sleep.
"I didn't want you to worry about it." sighed Noya as she bit her lip with worry.
Her mother walked across the room "I was going to find out anyways, and you know that.. you know I am your mother and you can't be disbehaving your elders...I have plenty of things to worry for, I am a grown woman." she replied in a disappointment.
"I hate that teacher," replied Noya, she was angry now but her leg itched real bad, she began to scratch it with agony.
"You don't want to be kicked out, I have nowhere to send you and you are not alloed to go to Wavel's underwater school." she said crossing her arms then panicking when she saw the pot boiling on the stove.
"Take me to Bloda then," replied Noya.
Her mother practically dropped the spoon as it made a loud noise against the floor. She turned toards her daughter, "What! My daughter will not go to that planet! And don't you dare try going there you hear me!?" asked her mother with violence in her voice, looking though as she was going to erupt or something.
"Why not? Just because of some lame rumors that th eplanet Bloda is evil? I seriously doube that," replied Noya.
Emily made a small sarcastic chuckle,
"Listen here younge missy-- don't you act smart around me. Bloda is evil, if you read books or payed attention in schol you would know. As for having a thick skull, your too stubborn to listen!,"
"That's what happens when your a taurus," smiled Noya.
Then she was slapped across the face, never in her life has her mother slapped her. She stood frozen--lifeless, her eyes concentrated on one thing, the wall. The pain had burned her cheek, her cheek was burning as though someone put hot coal and stamped it to her face,
and not just that but the pain in her leg hurt even more. Tears formed her eyes, white sparkling tranlucent water, as it rolled down her face to the floor. Dripping just like rain would on a dark day.
It felt as though time had froze and everytihng aroud her became blurry, In front of her a vivid image appeared of a little girl crying-- she had long black curly hair, and black eyes, dark red skin that boiled like the Sopo's had. In fact..she was a Sopo.. the girl cried and cried tears of blood then looked up at Noya, with fear. The image then faintly disappeared-as if she was never there, and Noya was just imagining things.
Her mother shook her listening to the thousand "Are you alright dears?" Her mother was examining her skin, as Noya turned to see what her mother checked twas' millions of red bumps exposing her light blue skin. Noya gasped "What..is that?"
"Chicken-pox." replied her mother.
"It came from my tattoo," replied Noya.
"Oh dear-...no!," shouted her mother.
"What?" asked Noya confused
Her mother rummaged through boxes, "It's nothing dear, you will be okay.." she replied.
"Yeah..I see how it is, you can lie but my brothers and I can't," replied Noya disappointed.
"No..I'm just protecting you.. " Emily gave a weak smile.
"Fine, I'll just run away," walking to the door she held out her hand to open it..
"Alright!, I'll tell you..," replied her mother as she stopped what she was doing leading her daughter to the couch as they had a quiet talk.
