Nova [#Wattys2015]

Hungover With No Alcohol

I woke up with the most aggravating head ache. I gripped my comforter and clenched my teeth in an effort to try and stop it. 

"Mom!" I yelled, immediately slamming my head into the pillow after. When she didn't immediately come up, I shouted again. 

"MOTHER!" That's when things lifted up around me.

"Oh fuck you telekinesis. Go fetch my Mother, and i'll be happy with you!" What the hell was going on with my life? And where was my mom. Normally when I wake up, i wake up to the beautiful smell of waffles and ironic re-runs of my favorite show Heroes, but not one noise could be heard downstairs. Not even the clanking of pots and pans. 

"Mom...?" I called out, my voice quivering. Slowly, I got up, rubbing my temples while I was at it. The items around me dropped loudly, making my headache 10x worse. 

"Geese, I feel like i'm hungover." I whispered, walking to my door and opening it. What I saw, hit me straight to the bones. Blood dripped down the wall, like a Sadistic painting. The waffles that  my mom made, were soaked in blood. There was a paper on the counter, in my fathers handwriting. By now the tears made me unable to see the words on the paper, so I grabbed the paper and ran up into my room. I tried blinking away the tears, but they just continued to fall down my face. I picked up my fathers letter, with my hands shaking, and read it. 

My Dear Nova,

Go to Easton! Don't Call the police. They will only be attacked like us. Hurry and go as fast as you can to Easton's. Your mother and I left money and your passport in a secret compartment in our room. Nova, I beg you to hurry! Everything we did, we did it for your safety. Easton will explain everything to you. Just know Your mother and I love you so much, and what happened to us, is not your fault. Your special Nova, don't ever doubt yourself. Your beautiful and kind and never let your powers get in the way of thinking that way. 

We love you. 

After reading that, I bawled my eyes out. Why shouldn't I just call the police? Because you know fathers right, My mind told me. I nodded and wiped away my tears. Looking on the back of the letter, a weird purple ink was written on the back. The secret compartment was in my parents room, under their desk. A soon as I entered, I could smell my moms favorite perfume mixed with my fathers cologne,  it made me cringe. I ran to the desk and felt underneath it, feeling a piece of wood sticking out. I took it out, and a gun fell to the ground. Along with cash and my passport and another note. It had to be as old as me, because the paper felt like it would disintegrate in my hands. It was my mothers handwriting this time. 

If anything happens to us, burn the house down. And call Gray. 

What the hell? Gray wasn't even born when I was born! She wasn't even conceived. I shook off the shock and grabbed the match tapped to the paper. I ran into my room and grabbed my suitcase, grabbing random clothes and shoving them in there. I took one last look at my room, and grabbed the green stuffed animal my parents got me. I sighed, tears falling down my face as I slammed the door shut. I ran out and through the kitchen and living room, squeezing my eyes shut, so I wouldn't see their mangled bodies. Throwing my things outside the front door I used the olive oil my mom was using  and poured it all around the room. Once I was outside, I lit the match and threw it in the house, running as fast as I could away from the house. I stopped at a pay phone, a couple feet away from my school. 

My pounding head ache wouldn't not let, but the crying wasn't exactly helping. I dialed Gray's number, whipping at my eyes. 

"What the hell is it?"She asked, grumpily into the phone. 

"Gray, its me, and we have an issue," I sniffled into the phone. 

----------------------------------------

Gray showed up five minutes later, after I told her were I was. She ran outside and gripped me into a tight hug. I sobbed into her arm while she rubbed my back.

"I never thought..." She never got to finish the thought. A fire truck shot by us, blaring its sirens. She looked at it,  then turned to me.

"You have a ride?" She asked, suddenly seeming much older. I shook my head slowly.

"Get into the damn car," Gray said as she practically rammed me into her car. I got into the car, and threw my suitcase in the back of her Ferrari. 

"What the hell is going on?" I yelled, gripping tightly to my stuffed animal.

"I'm taking you to Easton." She yelled back, grinding her foot into the gas pedal. 

"Who are you?" I whispered, not knowing who my friend was anymore. Gray sighed, keeping her eyes on the road.

"I'm Agent Gray, sent to protect you, Nova." I took a peak at how fast she was going. It read a hundred miles per hour. 

"How old are you?" I asked, eyeing her looks. She used to look as old as 16, but now she suddenly seemed older.

"I'm twenty, Nova." Gray said, glancing at me. Impossible! How could she be two years older then me?!

"Don't look so surprised Nova, there are things in the world that will surprise you even more then that." She chuckled. I grabbed the "Oh, Shit!" bar when she turned.

"Where are we going?" 

"Full of questions huh Nova?" She smirked and winked at me. "We're going to Easton's."

"How in the hell do you know about Easton?" I asked? She slowed the car down, sighing. 

"I was sent her to protect you Nova, how the hell do you think I know about Easton?" I clenched my teeth. My whole life was turned around. 

"Do you know about my... powers?" I Questioned. She chuckled. 

"Its why everyone's after you. Not that your the only one with powers Nova. Your not that special." I smiled slightly, a little bit of regular Gray. 

"I'm not the only one?" 

"No. Easton Houses people like us," Gray said, her eyes lightening a little. She held one and on the steering wheel and moved her fingers, instantly lighting them on fire. I gasped, my eyes wide.  

"That's so fucking awesome!!!" I exclaimed Gray laughed. 

"I'm sorry about your parents," She whispered. I sobered up. 

"Who? why?" 

"They wanted you Nova..." She sighed out. My face went slack. 

"W-Why..." I whispered out, hugging tightly onto my animal.

"You special Nova." Is all she said. 

5 hours later we pulled up into a large mason. 

"HOLY CRAP ITS THE X-MAN MANSION!"
