Hello fellow readers.. Thanks for reading! Dragoncat, Acinorev17 and empressofthedead, thanks for the reviews.. That means alot!
And to answer Acinorev17 question: Maybe. Keep reading, and you might get the answer within a chapter or two..
A little side note i forgot to mention.. Kitty and her mother's skin color is light as it have always been, but all the other performers skin are a little darker.
So out of anyone, she is very easy to spot..
Now on to chapter 2
P.S I do not own x-men, as it all (except this story) goes to Marvel..
So, i used the next couple of days practicing, as always. But at night, i was the great spy Kitty!
You know, i'll find a better code name later, but for now, i'll stick with Kitty...
I used my new weird ability to get through whatever might get in my way, as i followed Henrik like a dark shadow.
Where ever he might go, i'll go to, in hope of getting any kind of info at all. But as i feared, i got nothing. Not even a little hint of anything.
Maybe he knew i followed him...
Oh well, i had to get my answers in one way, or another, And if breaking into the man's trailer is the answer, then let it happen!
I was used to do such things, as i got told in a young age, that anything valuable belonged to us. So as people enjoyed our show,
i sometimes sneaked up on the visitors, and took whatever seemed expensive... A purse from and old man, jewelry from a young girl, and so on..
I was pretty good at my job, until the day i got spotted. It was a little boy who saw me. I was reaching for a wrist watch (Really pretty one by the way)
and i accidentally pushed to the boy sitting beside him. Of cause he had to yell about a girl under the seat, and since then, my job as a thief was over..
Anyway, on with the story.. I sneaked myself into his (pretty expensive) trailer, and started my search for the truth.
I opened every cupboards and drawers in the room, even the locked once. I just had to phase my hand through, and grip whatever may be inside.
I used at least half an hour trashing his place, before i finally found something interesting. A letter from my future husband.
the letter said:
Dear Henrik..
I can't marry Katherine. I'm very sorry to disappoint you and everyone else, but it just seems wrong.
I'm sixteen and she's only ten. She seems like a nice girl, but please, let the kid be a kid for gods sake!
And yes, this is my final decision, and you can't make me change my mind..
Dearest wishes: Your stepson Jamie..
Did you just read that? Oh right, of cause you did! Sorry, stupid be.. But i guess you are as confused as i was that day.
If my "man" said no to the marriage, then what did that mean for me? Was i a free girl now?
No matter what, i had to keep the good news to myself.. It was a private matter, no one needed to know about. Unless they already knew..
And at a side note, I have to admit, I was very happy that day, that mom had leaned me to read. If i couldn't read, the letter would have been a waste.
Kids like me don't always have such opportunities as school, And almost no one in the circus had any school experience Neither,
so leaning to read and do math was highly appreciated..
I kept looking for any other signs, and once again, i was lucky to find something.
I found a briefcase with the word Private written in large, red letters on it.
I opened it, and found it full of important documents about the circus.. I didn't really look at it there, as my time was running short,
So i decided to take the briefcase with me, and read it later..
As i was about to leave the room, i heard footsteps coming closer, and as the door went up, i phased through the nearest wall, and got away as fast as possible.
The last thing i heard before i left the area, was a angry yelling, about someone trashing his room completely. (Wondering who the genius could have been..)
I was glad that my youth was not taken from me already, but something still smelled fishy.
But after a long day/night, I went straight to bed, not thinking anymore about that, as i had to get up early the next morning..
.
.
I ditched training the next week. I even made them believe, that i got a bad migraine.
Actually, i did feel a little weird, as something ugly was about to happen.. But i didn't let one stupid feeling hold me down.
Fortunately, I was friends with pretty much all the performers, and i was truly known for my big puppy eyes.
I was just seconds from leaning the truth about the "forbidden area" by tricking Rikky the clown,
but them mom came by and interrupted the conversation. She took my hand, and asked me to go with her.
I almost got a heart attack as i saw the white long dress laying on her bed.
"What am i supposed to do with that?" I asked her, hoping it was a part of a new act, but no, i wasn't that lucky,
as it surely was a wedding dress.. She kept on talking about how beautiful i would look in it,
and about that big party i would get, just to distract me from asking her about my new husband.
She was very surprised about me being that clever, as i only was a ten years old girl, but non the less, she kept her mouth shut.
But after a lot of screaming and begging, she finally told me the answers to my prayers: my new husband was Henrik..
It came as a shock, and i had no idea how to react. I was just standing there, pretending i didn't her what she just said,
but i did, and i didn't like it. When i finally got back to reality, i felt so mad, that i stormed out of the room, and back to the trailer of my own.
As i went inside and went to my bed to lie down for a moment, I remembered something important: I still had a unopened Briefcase full of important papers..
Not the longest chapter ever, but it was definitely filled with important content, don't you think?
Tell me what you think, by giving a review.. That kinda stuff always make people happy.. Reviews = More chapters ;)
