Chapter 2

The guys hover in the study, looking high and low and stealing any item that prices above $20. I find myself wandering out of the room they are desperately searching in and I walk into the hall way, grand stairs tower around me and I try to figure out how these people managed to have such a wonderful life. Envy spikes right through my core.

How could the Pretelli's have such a warm household whilst I'm stuck with a murderous brother whose intent is to destroy anything in its path; including me. He's becoming more and more like Father every minute. I find myself creeping up the stairs as I continue to hear the whispering voices of both Mitch and Lauren. This house has photographs of the family everywhere. Nathan Petrelli is in a numerous of photos dotted all around the wall; I notice his face from the television. He looks like the perfect man. As I tread further and further up finally reaching the hall way I sigh, pretending this were my house. I pretend that I brought all the items and furniture, that I am as important as Nathan Petrelli… that I am more than my Father and Brother deem me.

I push open a door to find a bathroom; which is clearly bigger than my entire flat. The white tiles glimmer around me and the scent of recently lit candles linger in the air. My eyes stare at my reflection and I fight the urge to flinch. Father always said you can tell a monster by looking into their eyes, and then he'd push my face close up to reflection and tell me to look at the monster he had created; this was before he'd smash my face in the glass. A little slit is still noticeable on my forehead, but I try to cover that with my messy blond hair which I always tied in an even messier bun. I inhale deeply closing my eyes tight, trying to resist the temptation to smack my face in the mirror just for being … me. As I reopen my eyes I look in the reflection and behind me I see Nathan Petrelli standing there, his eyes looking directly at a monster.
