Chapter 8
I sat on the floor of my room. My metal pen hovered just above the note book in front of me. I was grounded for my actions back in New York, and to make it worse Magneto wanted me to write a letter of apogee to him. A letter? When did this turn into school?
A sigh escaped me as I fell on to my back with my mind spinning with the never ending questions of what I had done. I saved a little girl from dieing how is that wrong? What's the point of having power if I can't use it to save people who can't save themselves? I had asked Magneto those questions and he didn't want to hear them. He said, "Do you have any idea what you've done? Using your powers in public could have attracted Charles and his X-Men. They could find us, do you want that?"
I told him no and he grounded me from leaving the base for two months, and I was to stay in my room at all times for the next week. All my food was brought to me by Mystique. She never says a word when she comes in. She places my food on my desk and leaves.I thought she would defend me somehow to Magneto, but she didn't. Even Pyro, who I thought was my boyfriend, didn't defend my actions. He didn't say a word to Magneto. Why is everyone so afraid of him? I wanted to know, but I'll guess I never know.
"I need to get out of this room before I go crazy," I told my self. I got to my feet and went to the door. I was locked, but I easily fixed that by using a wire hanger from my closet and shoving into the lock then using my power to bend it to unlock the door.
I snuck as quietly as I could until I got to the elevators and went to the top floor to the gardens. I cautiously peered my head out the doors and then went to my favorite spot by the falls so I could collect my thoughts.
I feel so alone.
Why don't you just leave then? A voice in my head asked
I don't know, I answered
If you don't want to be here you don't have to be, the voice said
I can't leave. I have no where else to go, I answered. I can never go home, and this is my home now.
Yes. You can leave. There is a place you can go.
That's when I realized that the voice I was hearing was not my own. Who are you?
Someone who can help you, The voice told me.
Really? I asked. How can you do that?
