Uncontrollable(HUGE REMAKE)

Chapter 15

Hugo looked at me, giving me the look that I don't understand what he wanted to say. His eyes are wide and he swallowed hard.
"What do you mean, Kezia?" He asked me, giving me a sympathy look. I didn't mean to said that. I'm so stupid.
"Nothing. I'm just really enjoying my life, that's all. We really can't predict what's gonna happened tomorrow, or the next day. You know what I mean?" I said, giving him a smile. That's a good reason, somehow. He slowly nod his head, making me feel that I said the right thing.
"Yeah, you're right," he said, giving me a huge smile. Then, I saw dad walk around the family room with his black tuxedo and a blue tie.
"Dad, where were you?" I asked, raising my eyebrow.
"I'm making myself look good, honey. I want them to see how handsome your father is," he said, then Hugo and him laugh at the same time. I glare at Hugo and gave dad a smile.
"Dad, I have to tell you something," I said then walk towards him.
"Let's go to my office," he said, then we both walked away from Hugo and went to his office. He sat down at his chair and I sat down on the front of the desk.
"Dad, something odd happened. I'm pretty sure it's about Uncontrollable puberty or something about Uncontrollable," I said, looking down at my dress. I looked at my knee that was wounded the last time I saw it.
"Proceed," he commanded. I took a big breath, and open my mouth to start to talk.
"I was brushing my hair at my room, and my left arm suddenly got itchy. When I looked at it, there's a big red and black tattoo at the top of my arm, and a blue and black designed feather on the bottom of my left arm. I put a make-up on it, so that no one will see or notice it," I said. My tears silently runs down at my cheeks. I lift my left arm to the desk to let my dad see it.
"Dylan, give me the wipes," he commanded to his robodog and the robodog went to his owner with the wipes. My dad rub the wipes to my left top arm, then suddenly, the red and black tattoo came to be very visible. He hold his forehead and his jaw was dropped. He continue rubbing my left bottom arm, and the blue and black feather came out.
"This can't be. I thought it's only extra-ordinary powers will appear, but what is this?" He said, shaking his head. I stay silent. I looked at my left arm, and thought of something.

I don't want to be a burden to my family.

My dad went to my mom's bathroom to pick up the make-up to cover my tattooed arm. After I rub the make-up to my arm, me and my dad went outside. We both saw my mom, Atticus, and Hugo sitting at the kitchen, talking ang laughing. Me and dad acted like nothing happened. I wish I'm just like them. Nothing to worry, nothing to think.
"Shall we go now?" My dad asked, giving my mom a huge smile. She suddenly stands up and wrap her arms around my dad and my dad carried her. She scream for the thought he's gonna loose the grip of holding her.
"I'm not gonna let you fall!" My dad said, laughing and smiling. Me, Atticus and Hugo are looking at them, amazed. Then, my dad put my mom down and we started to walk towards our car.
*******
My dad pull into the driveway at my mom's friend house. Hugo wrapped his arms around me as we walk and asked "excited?"
I removed his hands and I ask him "Why would I be excited?"
"Jack is gonna be here," he said and laugh.
"What about him?"
"He told me he likes you," he said. I was a little bit shocked.
"Get outta here," I told him. Jack is one of the popular 10th grader in our school, that's why I'm pretty shocked. The guy likes me? I don't look that good for him. . .
"I'm dead serious!" He said while laughing and then Atticus approach us.
"What are you guys talking about?" He asked.
"Hugo said that Jack likes me. . ." I said giving him a filthy look. ". . .and I don't believe him," he gave me a big laugh.
"Everybody knows that," he said then smiled at me.
"Seriously?" I asked then they both laugh.
"Yes. I almost punch him on the face one time when he told everybody that you are his girlfriend," Atticus said with a serious face. We keep walking until we reach the door and it automatically opened for us. I saw this red headed woman, sitting down with four people surrounding her. It's probably her alliance or maybe her friends. I have no clue.
"Good day, Leticia," says mom and walk towards the red-headed woman. The lady stands up and gave my mom a hug.
"It is nice seeing you again, Christine!" She said, smiling at her. Her gaze is now focus on mine and she suddenly remove her arms around my mom and walk towards me.
"What a beautiful daughter of yours Christine," she said while playing on my hair.
"What's your name sweetheart?" She asked and all eyes turns on me. They are all smiling at me. I was stunt and can barely speak.
"I- I'm Kezia," I finally said and she gave me a huge smile.
"What a lovely name," she said. Then, I saw this guy walking towards us.
"Ethan?" I asked then smiled at him.
"Hey Kezia!" He said, smiling cheerfully.
"Son, why don't you invite Kezia's brother outside?" Leticia ordered and he nods then walk away to tell my brothers to go outside with him.
"I wanted to talk to you, Kezia," She asked and looked at my dad.
"You can talk to her with me," he said and then she nods. We went to the living room and sat down at one of the soft couch.
"Welcome to our town, Kezia," she said and gave me this humongous mock smile. What? I was here since I was born. I looked at my dad confusedly and I suddenly know what's on his mind.
"I told them you're an adopted child. This is for your own good Kezia," his mind said. I felt the luminance, brushing through my face. This is such a disaster.
"Thank you," I said then I breath hard, hard enough to let my dad knows that I'm annoyed.
"So, how was the town you lived before?" She asked me. Then I wondered, why is she asking this things?
"It was really. . ." I breath hard again ". . . really awesome," I said then giggled.
"Really? How about your new home? Your new family?" This is insane. I want to tell her that they are not my new family, they are my family since now and then.
"Uhm, great. They are great. I'm just wondering, why are you asking this questions?" I finally asked.
"I'm the Vice Governor. I'm doing this to know if the people who's in my territory is safe and delighted. I want to know this things for the people to be comfortable with me. Peace and joy is what I'm protecting," she said. I gave her a mock smile and a short laugh.
"You seriously think that joy and peace is secure when it's really not, huh." I have a feeling that this woman is not a good influence.
My dad gave me this look that says that's-not-cool look.
"Well said, Ms. Knight. Sebastian, can you live us for a minute?" She asked my dad and my dad nods and walked away. I didn't want to know what's on his mind. I'm focused on her eyes, not trying to look anywhere else. I'm giving her a ridicule smile to piss her off. When my dad is gone, she looked at me and gave me this serious face.
"Listen up, kiddo. If you came here to mess around, I'm not really in great shape," she said and I'm still there, giving her this annoying smile.
"I don't want to ruin your day, woman. But I'm here to tell you that I can feel that a catastrophe is approaching," I warn her. I don't know if this is the right thing to do.
"Why did you came here anyways?"
"My family is gone. I was an orphan," I said. I can't believe I'm saying this. "How about you, Leticia? Why do you want to secure happiness and peace?"
"Because I don't want to see my people fighting," she said, smiling at me.
"Don't flatter yourself, Vice Governor. Peace and joy is not going to show if all of this coward people want to get rid of this innocent people," I finally said and I smile wider. Her face is red and I know that she's heating up while I'm saying those words. I can see her hands shaking because of frustration. I know after this conversation, I'm gonna get in trouble, but I shrug the feeling off and focus on what I'm doing right now. I know I'm doing the right thing, so why am I going to back down?
"How do you know this things?" She asked.
"I'm not blind. I'm not a deaf either. Everybody is talking about it and everybody knows that the government around the world is trying to kill. . ." Before I finish my statement, she stopped me by putting her palm up.
"Enough," she commanded. She gave me a smile then she started to talk. "I like your talent. You can be a lawyer someday sweetie. And I can help you to get on your dream fast. Fast enough that you don't need to finish your high school year," she said. Should I tell her that I want to be on a military because my dad wanted to? I can feel my dad listening to our conversation. But, why does she want me to get my dreams "fast"?
"Don't do it," his mind says. But my mind says to do it.
"I want to be on the military as soon as possible," I eventually said.
"Military?" She said.
"Yes, military," I said, not looking at her eyes but just looking at her soft red hair.
"Okay, young lady. Tomorrow, I'll send you to the military and start your dream," she said then gave me a big smile.
