It was dark and grey in the house. Gianna heard a strange noise in Marcos's, her 13-year-old brother's room. She awoke, sleepy-eyed and headed to Marcos.
"Marcos, what's that-" Gianna stood in the doorway and saw Marcos, hands lit by the fire of some kind. Marcos turned and stared at his sister, wide-eyed.
"Gi-" Marcos started.
" You're one of them. The mutants," she said flatly." You have the X Gene," she said, hysterical now.
" Gigi, calm down," Marcos shushed, worried that she would awake the household. "You'll wake them up!"
"A little too late for that, freak," Their father arrived at the doorway and pulled Gigi behind him.
"D...Dad," Marcos stammered fearfully. "I'm sorry, I didn't tell you. I-"
"Get out," Their father ordered scornfully. Marcos's lost eyes gleamed in the light still shining from his hands.
"Daddy,-" Gigi started.
"He is a mutant and not welcome," Their father stated.
"But-"
"No! We have a baby in this house! Do you think I can take the risk of Marcos hurting the baby?" He yelled. Silence hung in the air.
" You will pack up and leave. Do not come back. Gianna," Their father grabbed Gigi's hand and tugged her away from her brother.
" Marcos," she cried.
" It's okay, Gi," he smiled weakly, in spite of the tears threatening to puncture his tough demeanour. "I'll find you. Or you will find me. We always find each other, remember?" Gigi cried out, honest-to-god sobs choked her.
So she vowed.
To find her brother again.
