Chapter 2 *Mind Control.

As I gaze at my face in the mirror, I point out the imperfections that make me who I am... a monster.

I sigh and turn away from the mirror in disgust.

It's been a week since I soccer punched Kyle in the head with a potted plant and he's been in hospital for a head bleed.

He should have been out already but he's too scared to come to school and you know.. Face me.

Once I left his room that night I ran out of the house,
ignoring Addilyn and her drunken buddies trying to persuade me to stay and drink more but, I couldn't..

I ran straight home and snuck back into my room as planned.

I shake the images out of my mind as I walk over to my overused laptop.

"Okay... lets see." I say as I type up 'Mind Control' into the google search bar.

"Mind control (also known as brainwashing, reeducation, brainsweeping, coercive persuasion, thought control, or thought reform) is a controversial theory that human subjects can be indoctrinated in a way that causes "an impairment of autonomy," and blah blah.....

Okay, I don't think I have mind control that's a bit silly to think.

I hear a heavy knock on my door and I promptly shut my laptop.

"Hey, what you looking at?" I look over to see who's bothering me while I'm doing 'research'.

"Addilyn, how are you?" I say vaguely. She's going to try and find out what happened, isn't she?

"I'm good.. But you're not."

There it is.

"What? I'm fine." I state trying to convince her that I'm just my normal self. Which I am.. I think

"No, because you haven't helped me find the cutest skirt for my date tonight! You've been staying in your room doing what? Homework?"

I sigh and turn in my chair to face my laptop

"I'm fine." I say with a fake smile.

"Mhmm.. Okay!" Well, that didn't require much convincing.

"So..my skirt?" I huff and look through my wardrobe.

Okay? What's the sluttiest skirt I have.. ah! Here.

"Take this one." I say, passing her shortest skirt I own.

"Thanks, bye." She says as she leaves my room.

I head back to my laptop and reopen it to google.

"Okay.. Let's see... I could be insane?."

-----
"Hey Flora, did they find out who attacked your classmate?." My step Satan says with fake concern.

I thrust a fork full of food in my mouth and don't reply to that evil hag.

My father looks at me waiting a reply, but I can tell he's holding something back, he keeps screwing his face so I know something's up.

"What?" I muffle out from my mouth that's filled with fatty foods.

He looks nervous and he keeps looking between me and Her.

"Well Camari and I have decided that.. Uh, we..". He doesn't get to finish his sentence because the evil Camari finishes it for him.

"I'm pregnant."

I drop my fork, which I never do, and stare between my dad and his wife.

"Excuse you? What did you just say?" I say as I swallow my food, because I'm about to give them a mouth full.

Anger boiled up inside me.

"Are you serious!?" I sternly say to my father.

I notice in the corner of my eye my fork is starting to stir. But I don't care, I'm so angry.

"Sweetheart clam yourself." He try's to reassure me that this was a 'good idea'

"Dad.. Why would you have kids with her when you left mum because she wanted more kids?"

I'm furious.

He trips up on his words which makes me angrier that he can't even come up with something to say.

And when I'm at my peek of anger the shaking fork flys into his shoulder.

Camari shouts and runs over to my dad who's shocked and in pain.

I sit still, shocked but not surprised. This seems to happen when I'm angry.. and boy has he made me angry.

"Wha?... this was all your fault." She says as she points at me. It was, I guess, but I didn't mean to hurt him.. I can't control it.

"No...I-" I get cut off my her screaming for me to leave.

She looks at me and realisation sets in.

"Was it you who hurt that poor boy?" As she said that my heart sunk.

"What? No, " I say looking at the ground. I feel so guilty for what I have done to Kyle so why not tell her the truth now.

"Well you seem to be very violent and you haven't even left your room for the past week!" She says and it's true.

"Why did you throw this at your father!?"

I look at my dad who hasn't looked at me yet.

"I possess powers."

Oh god. That's the worst way to put it Flora!! They're going to put me in an institution.

"What?" Camari looks stunned and confounded.

Same.

"I-i can't control my mind.. I can move things." Oh my.. I sound so stupid, shut up flora!

"So it was an accident when I hurt dad and.. Kyle."

"Get out." Camari said sternly.

"What? No! I need to help dad." I say walking towards them.

"Exit this house immediately and don't come back you.. You monster!"

I look at my dad waiting for him to fight Camari and convince her that she's being ridiculous ... But he just faces the wall

"Dad?" I start to tear up, but he doesn't give me a second glance.

I understand how bad this seems, I just stabbed my dad with a fricking fork filled with potatoes.  I walk out not saying a single word.

I'll just wait till they cool down and come back after.

I walk down the street looking for what's left of my old life. You know, the one where everything was fine and I didn't have anger problems? Yeah, that one.

Until I discover an odd man.

God, he's going to abduct me.

I gaze at him until he turns around and..

Wait.. Are his eyes glowing?

Oh no.

Abduction city here I come.
