Chapter 2

AN: Sorry for the wait! I've been focusing more on my other story Alternate. And I got my laptop taken away for three weeks. Finally got it back. Whew. Enjoy chapter 2!

I had decided to take the name Eliza Grey again. In NY, I was known as Ashley Williams.

I also decided to wash out the blond hair dye and take out the blue contacts. If I had to play the part of my long-lost-times-a-thousand-grand-daughter, I have to somewhat resemble me.

I looked into the McDonald's bathroom mirror. I looked, like, well, me.

"Hey Liza. It's nice to see you again." My blue-green eyes almost shone back at me. I put my long black hair into a ponytail.

My plan was to reclaim my housein Burgess and maybe open a shop there. Aging makeup would do me some good for some time.

'I'm thinking of opening an art shop. I think as I scan the menu for my lunch.

Ealier, I had sold my car and packed all the stuff I needed in my duffel bag and my backpack. I bought a train ticket for Burgess and also a bike as new model of tranportation. New ID, passport and all the nessessaties for travel cortasy of my friends in the mutant underground.

I look at my watch and check the time. 11:35. I should get going. My train leaves at 12.

I pass security and get barly get on in time. I put my duffel bag in the over compartment and sit down with my backpack on my knees.

I fall asleep with my cheek on the cool window.

When I wake up, the train has arrived. I get my bike at the check-in. I walk the rest of the way to Gray Mansion. It's not really a mansion, it just looks like one compared to the other houses in the neighborhood.

I get out the key and insert it into the lock. I walk into the house. Ah. All the funiture and stuff are still here. Just a bit dusty.

Once I've unpacked and settled in a bit, I gave myself the task of cleaning away all the dust in the house.

Three hours later, yes, I'm done, but also covered in dust and spiderwebs. Ew.

I take a shower and change my clothes. I put on my dark grey jeans, a blue shirt and neon green socks. I let my hair in soft waves down my back.

I walk to town and buy myself some food. While I'm there, I register my home as a current resident.

I go back home and make myself a cup of hot chocolate with tiny marshmellows floating in it. It's still summer, but I still like me a good cup o' cocoa. I grab the book I had also bought, 'To Kill A Mockingbird'. It's actually not that bad. (AN: I'm actually thinking of reading it. It sounds like a good book.)

I had decided on opening an art shop where I sell scuptures, paintings and art supplies. I call it 'Eliza's Studio'. The name is self-explanitory.

The upstairs is where I make all the stuff that I sell (sometimes keep) and the downstairs is where the actual shop is.

A few of months pass. It's now three days away from the middle of October.

I met my neighbors, the Bennetts. Amy(the mother), John(the father), Sophie (the cutie 8 year old) and Jamie(the 14 year old).

Reports came in from New York, that apparently Norse Gods exsist. God thing I left New York when I did.

A super-terroist tried (and failed) to topple the US goverment. Iron Man stopped him.

A new super-hero popped up. He calls himself Spiderman. He saved the world from becoming giant mutant lizards. I wonder where the 'Avenger's were on that one? God only knows.

I had opened my shop. I get a variety of customers. I've sold a lot scuptures that I've made. They're really popular.

Around Halloween, which is my favorite holiday, I don't know why, something about scaring the pee out of people is fun, I start developing the powers to see into people's mind's. It's weird and yet cool.

In the mutant underground, I was known for being almost immortal, healing quickly and sensing the future. Now I can add telepathy to the list.

Later that afternoon, I had just taken a sculpture of Jack out of the kilm leaning on that staff he always liked to carry around, wearing his white shirt, brown cape, brown pants and barefooted.

After I close up, I start to walk home. THe sun is starting to set a beautiful combination of red, orange, yellow, purple and dark blue all blended into the sky.

I smile.

"Beautiful? Isn't it?" A British voice says behind me.

I jump and turn around. A man in a black trench coat with gray skin, black hair and gold eyes was standing behind me.

I glare at him. "What do you want?"

"I'm just here to warn you." He answers. "The Guardians are coming for you."

"The Guardians don't know I exsist." I give him a sarcastic smile.

"Is that so?" He gestures to the full moon behind me. " The Man in the Moon has been watching you for sometime."

I pale. "What do you want?"

He smirks. I want an allience between the mutant underground and us."

"No." I say bluntly. "You will leave me alone. I will not interfer and get invilved with your sceming."

Within a secound he is within an inch of my face. "I am your father."

I give him a blank stare. "My father," He twitches. "is dead. He was Kozmotis Pitchiner. You are not him."

I turn and stalk the rest of the way to my house.

"You can't run forever Elizabeth." He yells after me. "They will still come."

At those words, I face him. "Try me." I enter the house and lock the door.

God, I hate it when he visits. I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce him to you. That was Pitch Black, the Bogeyman. What is he to me? He's my dad. Just my luck.

AN: Yay! I finished chapter 2! Wow! I just typed you all a 1,088 word chapter. Be gratful. Review!
