Scream Presents: X-Men

The Meeting

I woke up feeling completely energized and I did my morning routine as usual and I got dressed. I took out my medicine for mutation so that I could keep it at bay and not lose control. As long as I keep my emotions in check it will continue working for me. I walked into the living room and saw my dad making coffee and putting alcohol in it. I stretched out my body and sat down on the couch waiting for him.

"Morning kiddo. How's your morning going ?" My dad asked me.

"I am doing pretty well so far. I'm keeping the beast in control." I said with a smile.

"That's good. Very good." He said sitting down next to me and turned on the television.

He turned on the channel with my mom on it, I felt a bit of bitterness towards that but I kept it quiet for his sake. Then there was knock on the door causing my dad to jump in surprise and accidentally spill his coffee on his hand and the couch making jolt in pain.

"I have a feeling on who's at the door but I won't say anything unless it's confirmed." I told him.

"Go away!" My dad yelled towards the door.

"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Riley. We just want to ask you a few questions." I recognized that it was Sam outside the door. I wondered what she was doing here.

"I don't give interviews." My dad said dismissing her.

"We're not looking for an interview." She said. My dad walked over to the peephole and looked through.

"Give me one good reason why I should talk to you." He asked.

"I'm Billy Loomis' daughter." Sam responded.

My eyes were wide when I heard that, my dad quickly opened the door. I started thinking of the possibilities of what happened, if Sam was the daughter of Billy Loomis then maybe Ghostface attacked Tara to lure her back here. He was pulled out of his thoughts when he saw the adults walking into the living room.

"Hey kid, I think you should wait in your bedroom until we're finished talking." My dad suggested to me.

I knew what he was doing, he was trying to get me to use my senses to listen from my room so I nodded and walked to my room shutting the door. I immediately turned used my ears so that I could listen to their voices and heartbeats.

"You can come out now kid." My father called out. I walked out and sat down on the couch next to him.

"You know I was close to coming out and reprimanding Richie for insulting you." I said to him.

"I'm glad you didn't. Did you get anything from them?" He asked me.

"Sam's heartbeat was steady but Richie's heart was faltering so he's more suspicious than Sam." I told him.

"Well I highly doubt that we could stay out of this situation so you should probably get ready for when we leave. I have to warn your aunt and your mother about this." He instructed.

I nodded at him and went to put on some clothes.
Once I was ready I left my room and saw that my father was ready and had his gun in his holster.
