The Human Magnet

Chapter Four; An Unwanted Little Angel

"Before I start cleaning, can I talk to Shawn for a sec?"  I said.

Mother and father looked at Shawn, "So, what did you wanna say?"  Shawn said.

"Alone," I confirmed.

"I guess," I took Shawn into my room with me.

I was furious, "What did you do?"

"Nothing... just, uh - making you an unwanted little angel..."  Shawn feared, "I wanted to do an experiment and it may have spread,  no biggy!"  He started to slowly walk away, I tried to lock the door - I melted the lock. 

"Shawn, change me by the next week.  I'm doing this to help to you, you won't like it, being inside the rest of your life!  Never getting to help!  Always having other people getting in trouble for you!  Do you want to be spoiled?"  I said, with as much emotion as I wanted.

"Sis, yes!  That sounds awesome."  He smiled, for the first time in his life.

"And be overprotected."  I said with less emotion, I was being serious at that point.

"I'll change you back by next week, I promise!"  Shawn left the room.

I finished cleaning the house just in time, "Not a speck of dirt!"

I've been in my room for - I don't even know how long - five days!  I've just been hitting a ball at the wall, and here comes the most exciting part... catching the ball!

I'm as bored as a fish. 

It's been six days.  One more day, and I'll be free.

"Angel!  You can come out now!"  Mother said.

"Yay!  Thank you, mother!"

"So, how'd the visit go?"  I asked politely.

Mother started ranting on about Shawn, "...so then the guest fell out of the chair, and broke his arm!  Then Shawn let him up and the guest fell again, it was so funny!"

"Um... I'm pretty sure that was me who helped him up,"  I said.

"No, you were in your room," Mother said.

"More like locked in for a week against my will!"  I coughed and mumbled, "Sorry, bad cold.  But I meant that the exact same thing happened a different time, only with me."

But then of course mother continued on ranting about Shawn.

"Sorry, mom, dad, can I go have a talk with Angel?  Alone."  Shawn said.

They slowly nodded.

My brother and I then went into his room, "Wait, that weird lab thing was your room?"

"Yep, wait... what you callin' weird!"  He joked, "This may hurt a little..."  He took out the tazer.

I grabbed the tazer right out of his hand, "Don't even think about it!" 

Shawn took out a book, and pointed it at me.  For some reason, it made me fall asleep. 

I woke up.  I felt different.  I asked Shawn what he did, he said it was reverse curse.

"What?  I did this to protect you!  Why would you want to be on known as A Little Freak?" 

"Because I'm use to it..."  Shawn's voice cracked, "I made you a freak because I wanted to be you, I wanted to be noticed.  All I am to everyone is a freak.  For once, I just wanted to have a purpose."

I felt horrible, I ran right toward him, and hugged the real, little angel.

"You're the best, sis."

"I know you are but what am I?"  I joked.

"A Little Angel."
