As I now sat in the grass (my mother refused to have me in the house in case another 'accident' happened) listening to my mother talk to my father, I was worried. I was having trouble putting Madison and powers together. I never thought of myself as a superhero. Then again, I never would of thought my parents had special abilities. I groaned and put my head to my knees. Sobs broke through my chest, and I was completely aware of the salt water staining my jeans.

Why was I so upset? Well, Kettle University was scary. I had seen pictures of the large, dark, castle-like building. It looked like a scene from a horror movie than a school that I would attend. Another thing that kept entering my mind was my friends. What do I tell them, I gained magical powers and now have to go to a school so I don't destroy everything in sight? Yeah right. I looked up as I felt water all over me now, touching my arms, my hair, and my face. I looked straight into the sunny sky. No clouds were out, just pure blue and sun. How was it raining? Wiping the tears off my face, I realized. The water was coming from me. I was horrible! I just probably made some family picnic into a soggy disaster! I was still staring at the sky, trying to calm myself down when my name was called.

"Maddy?" a voice questioned from my side. I turned to see my father standing there with my mother.

"Dad, what are you doing home?" I unthinkingly blurted out. He looked at my mom who gave a nod. His eyes slowly gazed at the torn up yard scattered with dirt and leaves. I swallowed loudly out of nervousness. He sighed.

"Maddy, start packing. Your going to Kettle University and I-" he stuttered. "we are not going to take no for an answer." he demanded. I shivered at the seriousness in his tone. My father never spoke like that. Never.

"But Dad! I don't want to go." I cried. Tears were falling from my face, and even larger tears were falling from the sky. I didn't want to leave, I just wanted to be normal. Getting powers used to be cool about 15 minutes ago. No it seemed like a sick mythical joke that I could no longer escape. My own personal dungeon. A cell that could never be unlocked. Trapped forever. I ran into my mother's open arms.

"Mom, I don't want to go. Do I have to?" I mumbled weakly into her stomach. It was my father who answered.

"Maddy calm down. Your going to flood the city." he groaned. I immediatly stopped sobbing at that point made. It was still drizzling but I refused to even take my face out of my mom's shirt. "Now, yes you have to go. Its mandatory. Stop crying." he demanded, pulling me into now his arms. He looked me in the face. "You will be fine. I promise. 1 or 2 years then you get to come back." he smiled. 1-2 years? That didn't seem so bad, so I pulled myself together. I nodded and sulked up the stairs. I began packing my clothes in a little blue suitcase. All the books stacked on my shelves I just shoved into the corner of the suitcase. I didn't care what they were about, I knew I had to find something to do while I was there. It was 4 months into the semester, and I wouldn't have any friends. I didn't WANT friends. I didn't want supernatural freaks like I was as friends. I flopped on my bed and felt the softness of it.

I suddenly remembered an old diary I recieved, not recieved, BEGGED my mom to get me for my 12th birthday. I never used it, but it was waterproof and pretty much perfect to write in. I dug in my dresser and sure enough it was all dusty in the back of a drawer. I smiled to myself as I had written on the top 'I HATE LIFE'. I wrote that when I was horribly upset with my mom for not getting me the right color diary. Pink. She had gotten dark blue, and boy was I glad now. "Thanks Mom." I mumbled under my breath and turned to the first page. It was blank of course. I shoved it into my suitcase and continued packing the obvious. Sweaters, tank tops, and jeans and sweatpants. I shrugged and packed a bathing suit, too. Just in case there was actually a swimming area or a lake nearby.

I pushed my hair out of my face and wipe away the tears that were still below my eyes away. I took a deep breath, inhaling the sweet perfume of my room. Yesterday night was my last night human, tonight would be the last night in my room. I pushed the two blue suitcases I managed to fill out to the hall. I slowly walked down the stairs to see my mom on the couch and my dad was hovering over a piece of paper in the kitchen. They both looked at me when I came down, staring at me like I was a...a freak.

I had a sudden urge to get out of the house and run. Run far away so nobody could ever find me. No, don't run away. They are just scared. a little voice in my head told me. I sighed and plopped down on the armchair. My mother jumped and I rolled my eyes. She was acting as if I had a gun to her head and about to shoot any second. I was in a sad mood, but not enough to go balistic and pop a hole in the floor. Not that much...but pretty close.

"Maddy?" my dad called. I didn't turn around to look at him.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Did you finish packing? Because your train leaves tomorrow morning at 6." he announced. My jaw dropped. Six?! So early...

"Uh, Yes, I did. I packed two suitcases of clothes. Pretty much all of my wardrobe that still fits." I muttered. My dad must have nodded or something because he didn't respond. I sat there, staring at the walls, glancing at the clock every now and then. When it finally shown 10:00pm I got up off the couch, said goodnight to my parents, and went to bed, crying.

Tomorrow was going to be another day. A day with surprises, misery, and never ending nightmares.
