Secrets

My eyes were blurry for a second...then quickly focused on the surroundings. I was in a living room, sitting on the couch, seeing...Tinker Bell? Okay...that was odd. Didn't remember seeing T.V. The sound of the door slamming interrupted my thoughts.

"Sweetie,I'm home!", a woman's voice echoed the house.

I walked to where the source of the voice was coming from. I saw a woman, dressed in a teal dress with black flats. Her hair was blonde and in a bun, slightly messy. Her eyes were amazingly bright blue and she had candy red lipstick on.

"Hey mom.", I responded and smiled sweetly to her.

"Hello Bella. How was the teacher?", she asked as she carried the bags to the kitchen.

"He was fine. Pretty bossy like always. I still don't get why you don't teach me. For god's sake mom, your a teacher!", I almost screamed.

"Honey, we discussed this. And don't make a ruckus because of it." She placed cans in cabinets above the stove. She looked beautiful.

After she'd put away all the food, she sighed loudly and sat down on one of the chairs. Tears formed in her eyes. What was happening?

"I'm just going to leave now.", I started walking up the stairs.

"Bella...", my mother spoke up once more.

"Yeah?"

"Just remember, I love you."

"I.....I love you too mom.", as I walked up the rest of the stairs.

I suddenly opened my eyes, becoming abreast of this situation. I had that dream again. A memory of what happened before I got dropped off at the orphanage.

I'm Bella . I'm 17 years old and I live in a orphanage in Washington. I have secrets....secrets that people cannot know about. They'd be asking," Are you human?" or ," Why are you doing inhumanly abilities?" if I showed them. Truth is, I was born with special powers that no other human being has. It was a gift from my goddesses from the future planet, Landolina. Landolina is where the goddesses live, therefore a human may not, nor shall see it.

I walked to the horrible bathroom that the orphanage has. I stripped off my clothes and entered the shower. The water landed on my hair, while my hair soaked it like a sponge. As it went on, I closed my eyes, having a flashback.

"Mommy, why do you need to do this ever month?", a younger Bella asked.

"For the Goddesses can know you've been using your powers wisely, and that you've been responsible for them.", my mother replied as she stabbed the needle on my back,creating a sign with my blood.

I screamed in pain as the needle cut deeper into my back, crimson liquid flowing down my waist. At the time, I thought it WAS for the Goddesses...

"Sacrifices honey...", she continued, throwing the needle away. She wiped the blood off with rubbing alcohol, along with the cut.

I screamed louder but my mom hushed me.

"Shh...don't let the neighbors hear you.."

"But ... It hurts so bad!", I wined, squirming around to get off the table stained in blood.

"Bella, it's for the great or good."

I snapped out of the flashback by a knock at the door. Weird... They never did that...

"Bella,you got someone who wants to see you. So hurry up!", the manager announced.

I quickly showered and brushed my teeth. I wore my usual dull dress; top of the dress was beige with elbow length sleeves, the rest was dirty gray. I let my hair loose; which isn't that long. My hair is a blueish-blonde. I know what your thinking, blueish-blonde? Yes, it's a side-effect from having the powers. But no one actually notices the blue. I walked downstairs to find a couple waiting for someone. I went to the Manager.

"I am here.", I said, fixing my dress.

"Great, they want to see you.", he responded ,pointing to the couple.

"Okay.", I replied, walking to the couple.

The couple looked nice together. The man was holding the woman by the waist. The man had brown hair with green eyes; skin tone is black. While the woman had black hair with gray eyes; skin tone is white. They looked nice. I wondered what being in love feels like. I then snapped back to reality with an uncomfortable cough.

"She looks cute...her hair is a beautiful blonde...", the woman said, obviously referring to me.

"Yeah... Much more behaved then those other kids that came down.", the man said.

"Hello, I'm Bella. I'm 17 years old.", I announced to them.

"Your so mature, Bella... She's the one Bobby!", the woman cried happily to him.

"Okay I'll sign the forms", Bob responded walking to the Manager.

I was in utter shock that I was getting adopted...I froze...having a flashback.

<><><><>

''Mom!..... Why are you doing this to me!!'' I cried as I was left in front of the door of the orphanage. I saw my mom running to a car with someone else in it.

"Bella, I have other things to do then care for you...", she laughed and sped off.

''.....I don't...understand....Why did you betrade me!'' , I wailed as I saw her speed off in the car.

Tears came flowing down my cheeks. I tried to hold them back. My mood suddenly changed when the woman hugged me. I felt... Happy... I slowly hugged her back, feeling safe in her arms. Happy...

After Bob signed papers, they finally got me into the car and went to the house. My jaw dropped when I caught sight of the house. The house was amazing. Huge backyard with a cute porch, white outside walls. It was almost as if we were out in the country side. Except there was a house connected to ours. Other houses were around, but not near ours.

"Welcome to your new home, Bella Williams."
