The hidden power!

Chapter 10

Flint’s POV

Tchh… They are here again. Where would I go hide this time?

I sighed.

If it was for Marietta I’ll do my best. I ran through the secret passage way out of the building. Quickly, I hid myself underground. I shouldn’t let her see me here. I could hear their angry voices above me.

I chuckled.

They must be really mad, missing me again. I lost the count of the number of times I’ve successfully ran way.

I could see the shadows of Marietta walking through the room. I was standing behind the curtains.

She looked shocked and annoyed.

Maybe I was a bit too harsh on her.

I’ll give her another call. I pressed the button on my watch.

“Marietta, I am really sorry about earlier.”

No answer.

I looked at her from behind the curtains. The look on her face scared me.

She was looking as if she wanted to murder someone. Suddenly, she looked directly at the place where I stood.

She was walking towards me.

So she knows I am here ,huh?

I chuckled. My deductions are partly true then. Her experiment is weird or isn’t it?

Marietta’s POV

I had the sudden brain surge that he was there. Standing behind the curtains, hiding from me. I didn’t bother to ask myself how I knew. I was shaking from head to food, anger blazing through my body.

If I found him there I would pierce every inch of his body with needles. I looked at my arm. It was all bandaged up but still felt numb from pain.

I slowly pushed the curtains open.

Raising one of the needles, I expected him to come jumping from behind it.

What makes me so sure he is here anyways? The question seemed to calm me down a bit.

I opened the curtains. He was gone.

I felt stupid. Why was I expecting him to be here? He wouldn’t come in a second.

 I pushed the hair out of my eyes warily.

I sighed.

Looking down at the watch, I knew I could still talk, the watch was still red.

“Yes Flint, what do you want?”

“Oh thanks God, you’ve calmed down at last.

I felt a stab of annoyance, was he really calling to tease me more?

“I will close the whole call.”

“Can you?”

“I can, and I know that you know I can.”

He laughed.

“You’ve really gotten pretty well on one of your powers haven’t you?”

“What?” I asked stupidly.

“I know that by now you know you are a unique of your kind.”

“I want to understand the whole story Argus.”

 Flint’s POV

I noticed the new registered use of my name.

I chuckled.

“I wouldn’t tell you the whole of it.”

“I knew you would say that, would you tell me some of it then?” She asked innocently.

“OK. You weren’t born on the earth Marietta.”

“WHAT?”

“As I’ve said you’re not from earth or partly.”

“Hmm?”

“Well, your parents were not from earth, although I think this is partly a lie. They were very famous in their planet. They worked for different organizations; FBI, CIE.”

“Then?”

“Then they had you. They found you were strange. You didn’t look like your kind. So they decided to keep you a secret. Nobody knew they had a child. Until, one day they were out and you were home alone. They believed you did not have the powers of their kind, so naturally they made no attempt to securities and stuff. Well, your father didn’t like the idea of dumping you; your mother was keen of it. She liked her reputation.”

I stopped waiting for Marietta to talk, when she didn’t I went on.

“Then you used your power, of course they detected it. They knew it was coming from your house. You were still young and it was known that your parents were out.”

I took in a deep breath.

“They arrived at your house and broke the front door. They discovered you. The secret was gone and your parents were miserable. Not the whole society knew of it, the ministry blackmailed them. Your shape was unique and they wanted to “experiment you”. Your parents had no choice but to give in. I am sure they weren’t happy with it Marietta.”

Marietta’s POV

I was hearing his words with difficulty. Everything felt numb. I felt I don’t belong to this world. My parents, whom I was very keen to meet, turned out to be real jerks? They abandoned me?

I couldn’t even bring out tears. What am I searching for then? What was I looking forward to then?

I felt my knees give away. I fell down. All my life is a big lie.

It is not so good this time sorry L  NEXT time will be better! More secrets unlashed. Comment and vote! Thanks! :D
