In love with a dragon

The origin to Charlotte's powers

This chapter is about how Charlotte worked out she had powers and learnt to control them. So if you aren't interested in knowing then you can skip this chapter.

I was around 6-7 when it happened. I was sat in my living room on my i-pad playing my favourite game. My mum came in the room and was a bit drunk. "Mummy are you ok?" I asked her.

"Y-yes" she said trying to keep balance. My dad walked in following after her trying to hold her up straight. She turned around and slipped him. I put my i-pad down and went to my dad.

"Daddy you ok?" I asked.

"Yes sweetheart go to your room I have to sort out your mum she's a bit drunk" he said to me. I ran up the stairs to me room and grabbed my Teddy bear cuddling it tight. I could hear shouting downstairs and I didn't want to know what was going on. I was scared.

"DONT TOUCH ME IM GOING TO SEE OUR DAUGHTER!" I heard my mum shout. She started walking up the stairs. I could also hear my dad following after her.

"Darling please leave her she's trying to sleep" I heard my dad say. I could hear in my dad's tone of voice he was trying to calm my mum but my mums tone was aggressive. I saw my mum peer in my room trying to hold herself up.

"Come here Darling we are moving away from this evil man!" She said. She reached her hand out and tried to grab my hand. I crawled to the end of my bed, hopped out and ran to my dad.

"Daddy she's scaring me!" I said a tear rolling down my eyes. My mum came out my room and saw me hugging my dad.

"You don't deserve him he is a horrible farther!" She says to me.

"I don't care I love him more then you!" I said back. I ran downstairs to my i-pad still sat on the sofa. I turned it off and grabbed the phone.

"COME HERE WE ARE LEAVING IF YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!" She shouted at me.

"Leave me alone mummy or I will call the police!" I threatened her. He kept coming closer to me but very slowly. I dialed the police and it started ringing. Then as someone answered my mum came running at me and I screamed. I dropped the phone and ran. I ran behind my dad.

"It's ok sweetheart the police will pick that up and come here" he reassured me. He leant down to me and whispered in my ear,"go outside quick!" I ran to the door and went outside. It was cold and dark. I wasn't wearing much layers other then my pyjamas. They were nice and fluffy because I wanted to keep myself warm at night. They had giraffes on them because they were my favourite animal. I saw red and blue lights racing down the road. They stopped at my house.

"Hello little girl did someone call the police?" The officer said coming out the car.

"Yes my mummy is drunk and being very aggressive please help. She is also trying to take me off my Daddy!" I said to them. The front door was open and they went running in leaving me outside with the car. My mum and dad both got brought outside in cuffs. Tears rolled down my eyes. "Daddy!" I said running to him. He bent down next to me.

"It's ok Darling the police only need to talk to me" he said. I wasn't too convinced because he looked worried and concerned. Another police car came up to the house. They stuck my mum in one and my dad in another. I went to the house and closed the door. I ran over to the car with my dad in. I tried opening the door but I couldn't.

"Daddy!" I screamed in tears. A police officer bent down next to me.

"Hey its OK. Come with me and you will see your daddy soon" the officer said to me. I went with the officer in the front of the police car with my dad in. The whole ride I kept looking back to my dad and every time he pulled funny faces that made me laugh. When we got to the station the officers got me out the car and picked me up. The officer that picked me up was a girl with long brown hair and she took me into a room. It had a table and two chairs either side of it. There was a blacked out window on the left. I sat in the chair away from the door. And then the officer left me. I was sat in there for what felt like forever. Then two male officers came in the room. One of them sat down in the chair and the other stood in the corner.

"So..." he said.

"Where's my daddy?" I asked him.

"Your dad is fine we are questioning him now. Charlotte we need to ask you some questions is that OK?"

"Yes" I said.

"First thing is first can you tell me what happened?" He said. The officer in the corner got a pad out of his pocket and a pen. He stood there awaiting my answer.

"Ummm mummy was drunk and daddy was trying to stop her and she came for me and then I called the police which I then ran outside" I said. The officer in the corner wrote down my every word. The officer that sat in the chair nodded to my every word.

"Come with me!" The officer in the chair said. They stood up and walked out with the other police officer. I stood up and walked out the room. I followed them to the front desk of the station. They told me to sit in a chair while I waited for my parents.

A few hours had gone passed and I was getting bored of waiting when a officer came up to me. "Hey little one we have some news for you!" She said.

"Is daddy coming?" I asked.

"No daddy is going to be locked up for a long time but we have mummy here for you" the female officer said to me. I started to cry and then my mum came out of nowhere and grabbed my hand. She pulled me off the chair and took me home. I ran to my room and slammed the door shut. I didn't want to see my mum anymore. I grabbed a bag and packed clothes for a few days and some supplies I would need. When my mum was asleep I sneaked out the house. I ran down the went to this feild that I remember my dad taking me to. I climbed over the fence and took my bag off. I threw it on the floor and sat down. I was thinking about my dad and I started to get angry. I looked around and I saw a boy standing on the other side of the fence. Who was he?

"Hello?" I said to him. No answer. I stood up and walked over to him. He looked shocked.

"What are you?" He asked me.

"I'm a human?" I said back. He then looked confused and pointed behind me. I looked behind and saw these pearl white wings. I was shocked. And they were coming out of me! I screamed and looked at the boy.

"Hey don't panick!" He said to me. He climbed over the fence. He touched my hand and I stared into his eyes.

"What do I do?" I asked.

"Where are your parents?" He asked me.

"I ran away!" I said looking down. He grabbed my bag and my hand and then started walking across the feild. He stopped in the middle of the feildhe turned around and dropped my bag. He let go of my hand and took a few steps back.

"Watch this!" He said. When he put his hand out and lightning bolts start coming out of his fingers.

What?

I looked in amazement when he suddenly stopped. "I can help you!" He said to me. "You got to learn to control it and then you will be alright. But also tell your parents because they can help you!" He said.

"How do I get rid of my wings?" I asked. The boy shrugged. I tried to calm myself when I noticed my wings went.

Yes!

I thought if I calmed myself down they would go. And it worked. I grabbed my bag of the floor and started to walk off leaving the boy behind. When I jumped over the fence I looked and the boy was gone.

Where?

I walked home and then sneaked in. My mum never noticed...
