My name is Chloe Lewis. I have blonde hair and blue eyes, just like my mom. My mom was carefree and beautiful. She was so nice to everyone and she never was selfish. She was an amazing person and she loved me and my dad very much. My mom and I were super close while my dad went to work. She would look up crafts on the internet to do with me as the day went by. She helped me with my homework and she never got frustrated with me when I didn't get something.
When I just turned 12, my mom made this huge birthday party and invited all my friends and made a cake that was really big. She had this magical necklace that whenever she was feeling sad, it made her happy. It would do things for her like distract people she wanted and whisper things into people's ear telling them that their loved one died and they should go home. She didn't want to hurt them but it was important.
We had a animal that I loved. One time, our dog Baxter changed into a mouse to go chase after a piece of cheese. I screamed and went to go tell my mom that our dog is infected. She told that Baxter is special and that he's different. She told me that Baxter wasn't one animal, he was like ten animals, but all in one. I asked my mom what was Baxter was called, because Baxter wasn't a dog. And she said it was a Chimera. A Chimera could do a lot of things, like transform into a lion, a bird, and a dog. I didn't really believe her because what type of animal would be such a thing until our New Yorkie changed into a beagle.
She taught me that there are other worlds out there, that she was a part of a different world called Lagerin. When my dad came home that night, my mom told him that I knew about her and about Baxter. He slapped her. My dad slapped my mom. He said it was dangerous and I could get hurt but my mom wouldn't back down. He got upset and left the house again.
I slept with my mom that night. I heard my dad come in and he took off his shoes. Then got into bed with us and went to sleep. He turned toward my mom and some icy flow of blueness floated from his palms. He pressed them on my mom's head and she groaned. Then he chuckled and closed his eyes and went to sleep. I felt my mom growing weaker that night and I got worried for her.
That was the week before my birthday. When I just turned 13, my mom died of cancer. She was at the hospital and was pretty much on her deathbed. I grabbed my mom's hand and held it tightly.
"Mom?" I gasped. "Mom, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, baby," she croaked. "You have to remember everything I taught you. You are the key to my world. You have to remember-" She coughed. "Baby, listen, you need to practice your powers, learn how to be like me. I-I love you," She breathed her last breath and died with my name on her lips. I looked at my dad and he looked annoyed."Come on, Chlo. Let's go." He grabbed my hand and lead me out of there. I looked back at my mom until she was out of sight. My dad threw all her stuff out, and one night I went out and took it out of the trash. My dad just started to date another woman without mourning for my mom. Without even crying for her. I hated how he just moved on. He should at least wait a year before dating some random woman who didn't respect my mom.
I decided to never do that, like my dad did. In fact, I would never love, I would learn to hate love, so I will never be hurt. Dad then married that stupid woman he was dating. Soon, they had a child and forgot all about me. He only yelled at me when I smashed my plate.
One night when I decided I had enough... I threw my plate down. I didn't actually slam my plate down, my mind did it. I knew my mom was right, I needed to practice my powers...
"Chloe! Don't you dare do that again. Clean that up before I punish you."
"Well, now you know that I exist."
"What was that, Chloe? You said something?"
"I said that at least you know that I exist! All you do is love that child and that lady, what about me? You completely ignore me all day!" I said, getting more mad by the minute.
"How dare you! I put food on the table, I put clean clothes on your body, and you are living under my roof!" He sounded furious. "clean up this mess and go to your room."
I was fuming but I knew it would just get worse for me if I kept trying to push his buttons. I mumbled "okay" and then he left out of my sight. I quit trying to change my new "family" after that.
