My Kind?
It had been a week since Officer Bankock had told her that she was a mutant. Now everything made a little more sense. Like why her hair and eyes were now a deep ocean blue. And she must have gotten her mutant traits from her mother and thats why Hector killed her. She just couldn't think of him as her dad anymore. He killed her mother, threatened her life and hated mutants! A real 'dad' wouldn't have done that. Margret thought to herself.
"But I won't worry myself about him," said Margret firmly to herself, "he's not worth my even my slightest thoughts."
There was a knock on the door and a nurse entered quietly, Margret noticed that her face showed that she had bad news.
"What?" Margret asked carefully.
"I have some bad news." said the nurse slowly. How did I guess.
"What?" asked Margret again.
"Well, I don't know how to put this other than the Birnmont's don't want you anymore."
"Don't want me?!" exclaimed Margret now enraged, "They can't just dump me like that!"
"Well they dropped custody over you and when we called them so they could take you home they said that they don't want the-" the nurse stopped but Margret finished for her.
"Monster. They think I'm a monster. I leave for a couple hours, get kidnapped, save myself and then they find out how and just for that they don't want me. And ever nobody will" Margret wanted to cry but she managed to hold back the tears waiting to be released.
"You're a, a mutant, aren't you?" the nurse whispered softly.
"I guess so." answered Margret sullenly.
"I think I know someone whose been looking for someone like you that can help." she whispered and then left.
-X-X-X-X-
Over then next few day's as Margret waited for someone to take from the hospital she soon forgot about what the nurse had said and began to loathe the day that was soon to come. Then the dreaded day came when Margret was again going to be taken home with some other family Margret felt like she was going to throw up.
It's just going to happen all over again! Maybe not the kidnapping part but they'll find out what I am and they'll get rid of me! I hate me! I hate my life!
Here goes nothing! Margret thought as she went down to see her new 'parents.'
For the second time Margret stood quietly next to Ms. Maden who kept asking what Margret had done to make the Birnmont's not want her anymore but Margret always answered "I was just being who I am." which was more than true.
"I swear if these people send you back I will very angry with you." As if she already wasn't! For someone who was supposed to get kids adopted she sure was nasty! When she turned around Margret pulled a face. It seemed to Margret that Ms. Maden was acting like she had been sent back a thousand times! Stupid, idiot, jerk! She was about to come up with more names for the witchy lady when a young couple entered the room.
"Oh you must be the McDoe's!" said Ms. Maden with a sickeningly sweet voice. "How nice to meet you!" Mr. McDoe was about to speak but was cut off by Ms. Maden's enthusiastic blabber. "This is Margret Nell, soon to be Margret McDoe I assume, here are the papers you'll need to sign to ga-"
"Whoa whoa whoa stop right there." Said Mr. McDoe, "Couldn't we have some time to get to know her before she comes into our custody so we know if she'll fit?" Margret didn't know why but she already liked these people.
"Well I guess so, but only an hour!" Ms. Maden said not hiding her disappointment that they weren't taking Margret right away. What does she have against me?! Margret wondered. Or does she just hate teenagers?
-X-X-X-X-
As Margret got in the McDoe's car Mr. McDoe commented,
"That lady sure hasn't got much of a personality!"
"Well what she has of one isn't very pleasant!" Mrs. McDoe said before saying, "My name is Marie and my husband's name is John."
"So Margret, now that we've got you out of that buzzard's clutches where would you like to go?" Asked John. Margret chuckled to herself as she thought about how Ms. Maden did resemble a buzzard and then answered,
"Well I haven't been anywhere that I'd feel like going back to for a while so I don't know."
"Do you like Chinese food?" asked John.
"I think so." Replied Margret.
"Well then I know just the place to go out to lunch."
-X-X-X-X-
"Mmm, that was good." exclaimed Margret when they had finished, "Thank you for taking me out to lunch."
"You are very welcome, well, we better get you back so we can fill out all those papers." Said Marie enthusiastically.
"Yeah, fun." John agreed sarcastically.
"So your going to," Margret asked cautiously.
"Of course." Said Marie, "You're what we've been looking for." Would this be her last stop? Would these people accept her? Or would they not want after they found out what she was.
-X-X-X-X-
When she got to her new home John, showed her to her new room. It was white.
"We left it white so you can paint and decorate it however you like." Said John.
"Thanks" said Margret, relieved.
-X-X-X-X-
"Do I have to go back to school already?" asked Margret as they drove towards the high school.
"Yes dear, I'm afraid you have missed too much already and you will have to work hard to catch up."
"Oh boy." sighed Margret.
"Here is where you will be attending school." said Marie as they walked into the first building, "and here's your schedule and I'll show you to your first class, I'd give you a full tour now but I've got things to do."
"Don't I have to check in with someone?" asked Margret.
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because, I am the the headmistress." she smiled at Margret.
"Oh! Um..."
"Welcome, Margret, to the McDoe Institute.
"Institute?"
"Yes all of the children here have powers like you and I, they are, our kind."
"You mean you have powers! Like me."
"Yes dear."
"What can you do?" Margret asked cautiously.
"Oh me? I'm telekinetic and I can fly."
"Telekinetic? Fly!"
"I can lift things with my mind and I use that power to fly."
"Wow, does John have powers to?"
"Yes he controls plants and water."
"Like how?"
"He can make plants grow and such and can manipulate the form of water."
"Interesting."
"Here, at this school you will learn the extent of your powers and you will learn how to use and master them as well as regular school academics."
"Ok." said Margret. They stopped in front of a door and Margret peered in and saw it was a classroom full of students. Suddenly Margret felt a weird nervousness that she had never felt before and she began to get queasy.
"Go on in sweetie and if you need anything I'll be in my office. See you after school."
"Ok bye, Mom." Called Margret. It would take a while for Marget to get used to calling anyone "mom" or "dad," but she was sure that she could get used to it. As she opened the door and stepped into this new world she thought to herself."
"McDoe Institute. I never thought that there would be a whole school of, my kind."
