Serenity

Chapter 5

A couple minuets later she came back, pushing a cart with a TV on it in the room. She placed it at the end of the bed turned it on and started flipping through channels.

"The 9:00 news should be starting just know," she said as she continued to flip through channels. She stopped on the news channel from the looks of it, it just started big yellow words saying breaking news popped up on the screen. It showed my moms black suburban only it was dented like crazy, all the windows were broken, and it was upside down. A women popped up on the screen and she started talking about the crash that happened last night, saying things I already knew then they said something I didn't know like the guy that hit us just drove off after but then they said something that really caught my attention. They said that all the passengers in the car had died Sarah Harrison, Alexis Harrison, Catherine Callings and, Jean Callings. Then they showed a picture of all of us.

That's me. That's me. Holy crap THAT'S ME! I really have only been here a day but how, how is that possible it seems like I would've known something by now if I could really heal this fast. Come to think of it, it does explain why I never get sick. I didn't even get sick when a really bad flu was going around at South Creek. Literally everyone got sick except for me, mom just kept me home so we wouldn't chance it. I just thought it was a nutrition thing but I guess not. 'Or maybe she was trying not to let people know what you are,' said Ms. Hennings in my head.

 Trying to hide what I am?  What exactly am I?  I  can also understand hiding something like that from other people but trying to hide from me to. why would mom hide something like that from me. I have a right to know something like this especially since it's has everything to do with me.  Thinking about mom hurt to much right now so I pushed those thought out of my head for now.

Trying to piece everything together I said, "what your saying is I'm like you".

"Yes and no, you are like me but I am not like you" Ms. Hennings said.

Wow this woman really likes confusing me and that saying something because I'm not easily confused but I'm going to blame it on the piercing headache I still have. Not understanding what she's talking about I ask my new favorite phrase "what do you mean?"

"Well like your body is enhanced physically mine is not for example if I got the same injury you got last night then I would've died almost instantly well you only passed out for a couple of hours" said Ms. Hennings "that's why I'm not like you"

curious I asked "how I'm I like you".

"You're a brainiac" she dead pans.

"What makes you think I'm a brainiac? I can't read minds like you can" I say.

"Not all brainiacs can read minds" she said "haven't you ever wondered why everything comes so easy to you?"

"No my mom says my dad was the sa--.... wait are you telling me my dad was a brainiac".

"Yes, your dad Tomas Eric Harrison was a brainiac actually he and your mom attended school here at Serenity when they were teenagers" What, why didn't they say anything why didn't they tell me any of this or what I am and what I can do

"Because they didn't know, well, not at first. You didn't show any signs for awhile. The only signs you showed till now was that you were really smart and really healthy so they didn't think that was enough to tell you. They thought that if you thought you were normal then you could live a normal life" said Ms. Hennings.

It was weird how she new so much well I new nothing about any of it "How do you know all of this," I said curiously.

"Because I new your parents," she said.
