Chapter 4: Looking for you.
Beep beep bee beep
I slowly open my eyes to a new day. And with a yawn I close them again.
Beep beep bee beep
Shut up! I take the alarm clock and throw it to the other end of the bedroom disturbing the placid dreams of the other kids.
"Don't look at me that way" I say looking at their angry glares "It's time to wake up anyway" I try to calm them down only to get more glares from the three children. "Or do you want the old bat nagging at you for being late" I say smirking knowing I win.
They only grunt and like that we start our daily routine on the orphanage.
At seven we go to the main salon, the other twenty or so more children are already there in silence waiting for breakfast.
"Good morning children!" the door to kitchen opens and an old thin woman in tunic comes in. She looks like a skinny penguin. I chuckle to myself at that thought.
"Good morning sister Mary" we all greet her.
After that she order the other nuns to bring us breakfast; if you could call the slice of bread and something that looks like oat but smells like meat a breakfast.
"Now that you all have eaten it's time to get a little help from the community" all of the kids go stiff. Why? Because her 'get a little help from the community' means make us work. I can hear one the guy muttering 'not again' "What did you say" Sister Mary says in such a sweet tone that is scaringbecause we all know that it promises punishment to a bad answer.
"Nothing!" answers quickly the older of us; Jeremy. He doesn't learn the old bat has dog ears. In his fourteen years he has done the same every time she told us to get money for the orphanage.
She gives two boxes of cookies to each one of us, at least to the ones older than four.
I take my leave but I don't even bother to sell the cookies. What's the point? Nobody buy them from me. I have a bad reputation in the surroundings. So I only wander further away from my 'Home'.
In my 'stroll' I find two girls from the orphanage being bullied by some boys. And they are the rookies.
"Hey leave them alone" They look at me quizzically and one try to push me but I move left and he falls. Not again. His eyes are watering and soon he starts crying. "You have better go and continue your sales" I tell the girls softly. They walk away and after they are out of sight a man shows up.
"What's happening here" He asks to the boys.
"She hit me" The kid says between sobs.
"You again?"
I don't try to defend myself. This happens all the time. I try to help someone and at the end I'm the villain. It's not my fault all the kids in the neighborhood think they can pick on us because we are orphans.
And like that my wandering is cutting short by this man. He takes me back to the orphanage.
"Don't worry we'll take care of the problem" Says Sister Sue.
"Do you know how many times I've heard you say it?" The man says and Sister Sue only blush in shame "Forget it" After saying it he leaves.
"What happened this time Ami" She asks in a soft but sadtone.
"N… nothing" I answer and get in the house.
"Stop there" A sweet voice stops me sending shivers down my spine. Shoot! "My office now" Sister Mary says and starts walking to her office. I only grunt and follow her. I only get a worried look from Sister Sue.
When we get to her office she sits behind her desk and motion me to sit on the chair in front of it.
"Care to tell me what happened" She asks sweetly when we are settled.
"No" I say directly.
"At least you have sold some of the cookies this time, right?" she ask in the same tone. It's making me sick.
"No" I say again nearing my chair to her desk.
"And why is that?"
"It's not my fault your cookies are just like you"I say putting my elbows on her desk. She flinch a bit at it; I know she hate it. Please take the bait.
"And how exactly is that?" She asks annoyed.
I bend a little over the desk "Plain and dry" I answer smirking.Oh God. She walked directly in it.
"That's it" she finally stops her sickening sweet tone and furrows. "After dinner you'll clean up all the bathrooms by yourself, now out" she says pointing at the door.
"But… you… Why?" I whine.
"I said out"
I stomp out. I admit that cleaning the bathrooms is hard but it was worth to see Sister Mary' annoyed face.
Dinner time and I only look at my plate. A bit of rice and mashed potatoes.
"Can I have more please?" I hear a shy voice coming from one of the little girls I help in the morning.
Uh-oh.This'll get ugly.
"Rookies!" Jeremy next to me. "You never ask for more" I only sigh in agreement.
"No" Sister Rose, the one in charge of the food, says vehemently. "Everyone get the same portion, no exceptions"
"But my little sister"They are sisters eh?
"I said no" The fat very fatbat says with more hostility frightening the girl. I bet she eats all the food.
I take my plate and I go to the girls. Jeremy only look at my knowingly and reproachful.
"Take this" I give them my dinner. They give me a bright smile and a thank you and I get out without saying a word.
Once outside I sit on the doorsteps and hear my stomach growl. Suddenly an apple and a juice fall in my lap.
"You have to learn not to be a hero" Jeremy says from behind me. He has a juice of his own.
"Where did you get these?" he only smirks "Did you steal again?" his smirk grew more "How many times… forget it" "If you don't want it" He makes a move to take the apple.
"I never said it" I slap his hand away.
"I thought so" he said grinning at me. "You know? Someday I'll get enough money and get away from this shit hole"
"Language!" I scold him.
He only rolls his eyes "While you'll stay here just because you can do what is necessary to get a better life" and with that he walks inside the house.
I know he acts like a jerk but inside deeeeep inside I know he care about all of us.
I hear the door opening behind me.
"Time to clean" sister Mary says in singsong voice. She is carrying a mope and a bucket.
"Shoot!" I mutter.
We have seven bathrooms. Yeah it's a lot but it's a big house a big five stories house.
In the first floor is where the kitchen, main salon and conference room (Where people go if they want to adopt some of us) are; here we have a bathroom.
The second and third are de bedrooms, second girls and third boys. Each floor with two bathrooms.
The fourth is where the sister's rooms are. Here there are two bathrooms.
Finally in the fifth floor, the smallest but for far the most comfy is Sister Mary's little flat with a bathroom, her office, kitchen and bedroom. I know because I've sneaked there a lot of times.
Currently I am cleaning the second floor baths.
Suddenly I hear a knock.
"What are you doing here?" I asks the two girls.
"Wanna help" the smaller says.
"You give us food and you are doing this because you helped us in the morning with those ugly kids, right?" the older I suppose says a bit shy.
"Look kids"I start a little annoyed.
"Lina!" the smaller squeals cutting me off.
"Lina!" the older scold "My name is Chriss and she my little sister is Lina" she explains to me.
"Oook" I look a bit amused "Chriss and " I turn my head to the little girl "Lina" she smiles "You are gonna get in trouble if you help better go a play until it's time to bed"
"But… but…"
"But what?" asks Sister sue from the door.
The two girls are scared stiff now. I make them a sign to get out and they don't wait and run to their room.
"Making new friends" Sister Sue asks me amused.
"Me? You kidding?" I tease her.
"Well. We better hurry to finish this before night" she says lifting her sleeves.
"What?" I ask with incredulity.
"Well. All good actions are worth a little reward"
Shoot! She heard us. She doesn't say anything but by her knowing grin I know she heard us. So without another word she starts cleaning with me.
Sister sue is the younger of the nuns and for far the only one who tries to really take care of us.
We finish the cleaning at nine and I am exhausted.Immature dirty brats.I look at my roommates they are sleeping already. So I follow their lead and go to bed.
"Waky" someone is shaking me. "Como on!" it shakes me more violently.
"What's up?" I ask groggily trying to wake. I look at the clock. Three am! "Better this is good or I'm kicking you to next week" I threaten Jeremy.
"Sister Mary wants you in the conference room"
My eyes open wide. It's been a while since the last time I went there.
I go and before I get in the room I can hear Sister Marry talking to someone.
"I don't know why you want her" Sister asks "She is such a rebellious girl" Oh that harpy "And a compulsive liar"
"How's that?" A man asks her.
"She is always lying about her wellbeing to get attention" I don't lie! "Always saying 'I'm injured' or 'I cut my arm' and when the parents go she has nothing. It's the main reason she was always taken back here" she says in a sad tone. Deceiving bi "Parents don't want a deceiving child"
"Oh" is the only thing the man says. There is something in his tone like he hopped to hear that.
"What's the prob?" I asks finally stepping in.
"Oh here you are sweety" She says with a big smile.
The man looks at me and smile he is in a wheelchair. "Hi my name is Leon" he says extending his hand to shake mine. He is wearing gloves and a suit.
"Amadis" I say plainly and go to sit without giving him a handshake or another look. Don't know why but this man gives me a bad feeling.
"Don't be so"
"Let her be Sister" the man cut her off with a smile "Could you give us some time alone to discuss the matter in hand" he asks sister just nods a get out."So, Amadis how old are you?"
"Ten" I answer quickly.
"How long "
"Look" I say a little feed up "I've through this a lot of times so let's cut the chase" He seems amuse by my serious tone "You don't want to adopt me, nobody wants a deceiving child after all" I said smirking with the best imitations of Sister Mary voice. He looks surprised.
"I don't think you are a deceiving child" I'm stunned "In fact I think you always tell the truth but nobody listen to you" she makes a pause and smile at my incredulous look "I think they only let the looks guide her perception of you" He turn around and start pacing in his wheelchair "Injuries that heal in second? I've seen that happens" I look at him she seems like a kid talking about his favorite toy. "Or thing go in flames spontaneously"
This is crazy. This man can't be serious; how could he know? "I'm out of here" I say standing up.
"Oh no" he lost his smile for only a second before blocking my path to the door. "You don't have any idea how long I've been looking for you to let you slip between my fingers"
"Move or I'll scream" I threaten glaring at him.
"No nononono " He says apologetically "Sorry if said something…bad but I really have been looking for you for teen years but with the wrong information you were due to late February and the pregnancy was going so well that I didn't think you would be born before the specified date" she starts rambling again and I don't have any idea what he is talking about.
This is getting crazy but looking an adult rambling like that is amusing "I know you don't hear this often but you look like a lunatic right now" I say sarcastically and I see a flicker of something in his eyes.
"And I know you don't hear this often but you look like your mother" He replies smirking and take me off guard.
Could it be that this man knows something about me… about my parents?
He sees my shocked face and quickly her smirk disappear and is replaced by his smile. "Sorry I get carried away. Look we both are tired why not continue this after a bit of sleep?" He asks extending his hand again.
For the first time I do a I was told a shake hands with Leon. I take my hand away when I feel a pinch.
"What was that" I ask annoyed.
"Maybe a pin?" what a pitiful lie.
"You think?" I ask sarcastically and all of a sudden I start to feel an odd warm inside me, a warm I know too well then my hands erupt in flames.
"I see this isn't new to you" he says after seeing I'm not panicking.
I try to turn off the flames with no avail. "What have you done?" I whine trying to control myself.
"When I first laid my eyes on you I knew you were who I was looking for but I have to be a hundred percent sure before take further actions" he begin to explain "What I injected you was compound to " he put a finger on her chin in a thoughtful manner "Haywire your powers" he is walking to me.
"Leave me alone" I say trying to move to only fall down making my chair fall too. I try to get up and the man take my hand "How?" I ask puzzled. He is touching my hand without getting burned.
"I know more about you than you think"
"Leave he alone" Jeremy shouts tackling the man to the ground and after him Sister Sue come in.
"Oh my God" she yell in panic seeing my hands in flames "What has he done?"
"Out!" I shout I won't be able to control my powers for more time "Get everyone out now" I shout again in pain. She tried to help me stand up "Please… get… out" I beg her and she can only do as I told. She takes Jeremy and gets out. "You better get out too" I tell the man in the ground.
"Incredible" he says ignoring my warning "You have a better control than I thought"
"Out now" I order him and he finally get to sit in his wheelchair a get out.
Then I stop trying to control myself and all around me is set on fire.
It's been two days since the fire. I've been hiding since then eating what I can get from people in the streets or shelter. In fact I am going to a shelter right now.
"Shoot" they just have to be here.
The kids and sisters for the orphanage seem to be staying in this shelter. I look at them. Twenty seven, eight… I give a relieved sigh. It seems like all could get out in time.
Sister Sue casually look in my direction, our eyes meet she seems relieved and come to me but I run before she get to me.
"It's better if I am not near" I mutter to myself.
"And why is that?" I hear a voice behind me an yelp in surprise.
"What? How? Why?" I stutter seeing Jeremy.
"I saw Sister Sue and the you" he says nonchalantly.
We are in an uncomfortable silence. "How are all" I finally ask.
"We all are good it's a pity Sister Mary wasn't sleeping the moment the fire start" he says. I only glare at him an then chuckle without being able to stop myself. After a minute or two we are in silence again "How did you do the fire" I knew this was coming but I don't know how to answer. "It was cool!"
"What?"
"I mean green fire? It was just like Shego"
That gets me out of my stupor "Who?"
"Shego you know the world's best thief" I only give him a confused look "You have never seen TV. She fights against Kim Possible she does ring a bell to you after all she is goodie goodie" He teases me. I don't have a clue. He knows we aren't allowed to see TV. He grunt annoyed "She can do the same at you maybe she is "
"Don't go there" I cut him off. "It doesn't matter to me" I say a star to walk away.
"What are you gonna do?" she shouts but don't come after me.
I only wave my hand and get away from that place. But his comment about that Shego woman is stuck in my mind.
So I go to a newspaper shops and luckily I find an article about her. It talked about a lot of clean thefts that she is suspected to commit. There's a picture. She is beautiful, you know apart from the skin color she could be a model.
I get out and star to wander looking for something to eat.
Wandering I get to fancy area, there are a lot big building. It's very dark but I get to see something flying above me.
Holly… It can't be a car. I follow it.
It land in front of big building. A man with he has blue skin? Get off it and then a woman follow him. It can't be.
I snake in the building. Ok… mostly I just follow them and look how the green woman bypass every security system and then deactivated them for the blue man.
They get to a room and start looking for something. I climb to the vents to not being spotted.
Soon after they start looking a red head appear and star fighting with Shego. How do I know it's her? Come on how many people with green skin are thieves?
I get captivated by the fight. They seem a bit off but even like that is something… amazing. At least until the girl falls.
They are just below. The green thief seems worried about the other girl who I suppose is Kim Possible. Aren't they supposed to be enemies? Why is she worried?
I didn't notice the vent's grate isn't designed to support my weight and fall down.
When I look at Shego I feel a pull. Our eyes lock and I say the only thing that comes to my mind "Mom?" a like that she run away leave crying and with the certainty that without looking for her I found her and she is my mother.
I open my eyes slowly when I felt a gentle cares. I look around and panic. I get away from the girl against who I was resting. A few second pass and I remember anything, the men running after me, falling in the Kim's arms, the shoots… The shoots.She took a shoot for me.
I looksfranticly around. She is not here. "Where is she?"
Suddenly a bright green light distracts us. We turn around a look at it. I don't know how but I know it's coming from her.
And like that I break down in her arms.
A\N: I can't believe it I wanted to know what happened to Shego! Don't worry I'll make sure to punish Raven for this. So till next time and don't forget to leave a review if you liked the story and if you didn't … leave a review too.
