Amilyn's P.O.V

I've always hidden the fact that I know that mother I have with me right now isn't really my mother. She doesn't know that I know. I'll probably be killed if she knows. Not even my dad. I remember it all so clearly.

(a short or not short flashback)

Dad was out. I was 10. I was about to sleep. I was staring at the clock. It stopped moving. I shrugged it off then tried to sleep. Then I heard a gunshot. I immediately sat upright in shock. I ran downstairs, I heard screaming and crying from the kitchen. Afraid, I shakily walked to the kitchen. I peeked to see if anyone was there.

There was a man wearing a coat. Holding a gun, aimed at my mother on the ground. She was crying. Screaming at him saying to kill her and not me. I moved closer to them. "M-mommy? Wh-what's going on?" I started to cry.

"Dear, go to your room... and don't look back... please." she said to me then looked at the man. "Leave her alone. She's too young!"

"Fine." was all the man said. Then...he shot her at the head.

"Mommy!" I cried. Then I felt myself unable to move. Unable to speak or even do anything at all.

"Don't worry child... you won't have memory of this painful day..." he said grinning evilly. He brought out a syringe and needle with a strange liquid inside.

I heard the door slam open. I saw my dad rush in. He saw my mom on the ground, bleeding.

"You b*tch!" he attempted to punch then man, he avoided easily. Then dad stopped moving too.

"Maybe you shall go down first..." he smiled wickedly then injected the liquid. I saw my dad pass out and fall on the ground limply. I saw the man approaching me with another syringe and needle.

'No... please don't hurt me...' I thought, whimpering. He injected me as well. I ended up passing out as well.

(flashback over)

I never found out who that man was, but I plan on finding him. Since I have powers...

I snapped back to reality when I heard someone knocking on the door. 'That's weird.' I thought. None of my family members would usually knock when coming in. I opened the door a little to take a small peek.

No one was there. I shrugged then shoved all important stuff under my bed, then drifted off to sleep.

(next day)

I woke up earlier than usual. I was welcomed by the silence of the house. I got out of bed and brought out the bag-like briefcase. I placed my thumb on the scanner then grabbed the notebook filled with my ideas. I closed it and left it under my bed once again. I decided to wear all black today, and use the same gloves. I fixed my bag, and ran downstairs. Still welcomed by silence, I left. As I stepped out the door, I was welcomed by a cool breeze. Good thing that I was wearing my hoodie. I put on the hood. I looked up at the sky, it was gray. "Here's the part where I hope it doesn't rain. But it ends up raining instead." I muttered and sigh. I started running. No super speed. I don't care how far I am from school. I still had time...

I checked my watch. "10 minutes left... crap..." I used super speed and arrived at the back of the school in at least a minute. I went to the front of the school. Everyone was gathered around when I turned the corner.

(9 minutes of nothing later)

A man stood tall on a podium. Smiling proudly. He was wearing a suit. There was someone else beside him. He looked about me and Jeremiah's age. He wore a dark green shirt, a leather jacket, rubber shoes, and camo pants. The crowd of students were filled with whispered questions. I couldn't spot Jeremiah in the crowd, I decided to search for him later on when I have more time.
