PSYCHOKINESIS

Télékinésie: Chapter 23

It took around 3 days to get to Kansas City. They had cut down driving time and tried their hardest to get enough air to keep them going for the long journeys they faced. Shawn tried hard to keep the group morale as high as possible but they all had their moments. Even he couldn't stay positive all the time. He was determined that positivity was the only way to keep hope and hope was the only way to survive but when everyone around you is so gloomy you can't much. Scarlet made it her job to stop Beyoncé from getting them caught, Marley had her face stuck in a map constantly and her fingers had been covered in paper cuts, they had all stopped talking in the car but instead they looked out the window tiredly. Things were better when they were chilling in a park having a picnic or sitting in a motel watching TV but being in the car made them all sad. Beyoncé had made a game for herself for a little while but it became tedious - she'd get a deck of cards and shuffle them in the air (with her mind) before closing her eyes and trying to put them back in order. She always did it fast but she got bored and stopped playing that. Scarlet said it wasn't a good idea for her to play it anyway because there would be cards floating around the car and someone was bound to see. She had said: 'tinted windows don't make us all invisible' to which Beyoncé replied to with her rolling down all the windows and throwing yet another one of Scarlet's books out. Scarlet didn't like that. The baby deffinately caused mood swings none of them was used to.

"That baby is going to be a little bitch." Scarlet inferred as she leaned against the car with Beyoncé beside her and Marley pacing in front of them with her arms crossed. "I bet she's going to be in a real shitty mood all the time, always crying causing me to loose out on my sleep." Beyoncé pulled her eyebrows together and looked down at her larger stomach placing her hand upon it. 

"Really?" She asked the elderly woman, "Why'd you think that?" Marley snapped her head in Beyoncé's direction while Scarlet rolled her eyes with a scoff. Apparently the answer to Beyoncé's question was obvious. 

"You're always in a shitty mood. You never used to be like that." Marley said as she walked over to them and continued to look around wearily, "I blame her." Marley chuckled and so did Scarlet when both of their mouths involuntarily closed tightly and neither of them could talk. Beyoncé gasped as they began to panic and then threw her hand over her stomach, 

"Blue!" She yelled, "Blue, stop it!" Their mouths opened and Beyoncé nodded her head authoritatively while they looked at her with wide eyes. 

"Told you she was a bitch!" Scarlet exclaimed as she rubbed on her lips as if they hadn't been there. Beyoncé shrugged and rubbed her belly slowly, 

"She doesn't mean any harm. She's just going off what she feels from me, we have a strong connection." Beyoncé smiled down at her belly and continued to rub it in circles while Marley and Scarlet looked at her with suspicious eyes, 

"So you told her to do that?" Marley asked defensively. Beyoncé shook her head fast and stepped forward to her sister, 

"Not at all! I was just a little offended and she was trying to help me. That's all. Please don't turn this into an argument. She really doesn't mean any harm, she's only small." Beyoncé begged but Marley had already had enough of hearing about 'Blue'. Since yesterday when Shawn and Beyoncé had agreed on the name all Marley had been hearing was Blue this and Blue that. She wasn't particularly fond of the child at this point, she was always pushing them away, throwing their things and messing with them just to 'protect her mother' and it was unfair. Surely if she could feel her mothers mood she could also feel the love her mother had for them? But no, Blue Ivy Carter didn't seem to care about any of that. She simply wasn't taking any shit from anyone, not even her mothers family and that was not the type of rebellious, untamed, aggressive and disrespectful child Marley was into. "Please, M. She'll learn to control it. I mean, she's not even been born yet, there's really not much I can do about it. Don't be angry." Beyoncé tried to touch Marley but she simply moved from her sisters grasp and walked around the car before taking her seat at the front.
