Manipulation

#5

Kris's POV-

I felt better after telling Brian the truth. But he seemed different, like, I don't know, maybe almost, sad and scared.

I sighed and started looking for Kayla. That cat won't even listen to me. Always running here and there. Huh!

"Kayla! Where are you? Mommy's looking for you!" A faint meow came from the rose bushes. I gently picked her, " O my poor baby. You must be hungry, no sweetychumps?"

She simply meowed in reply.

I was busy giving her food when I heard someone call out, "Krissy!"

"Dammy! Come in." I ushered him inside, Kayla in my hands.  

"So late?" "I know about your powers." We said at the same time. 

"WHAT!!" I took a step back. "H-how? It's not possible. No no no." I kept shaking my head, muttering "impossible".

"Calm down Krissy! It's perfectly fi-"

"No, it's not fine, not okay. You, are not supposed to know."

"Marie came to me the night before she died." Huh?

"She...she did?" 

"Yes."

"What did she say?"

Flashback

Knock knock! Knock knock!

I opened the door to see a beautiful young girl.

"Damon! Let me in. Don't ask me any questions before I finish. I am Marie. You must be knowing my sister, Kristine. Yes your co-worker. Anyways, I know you have some special powers. I don't know what they are, but after lots of research, I finally tracked you down. Now listen to me carefully. Our sister, Carter is planning on killing me tomorrow. And she might try to kill Kristine as well. You need to guard your powers better than ever. Try practicing as seldom as possible. We need to keep our people alive."

"Oh!"

"Speechless huh?" She smirked.

"I-I mean, how?"

"I have my ways, that's all. So long." she waved and left.

End of flashback

I was speechless.

"She knew." I finally said, my voice cracking, "She knew all along and didn't do anything! WHY?" I started sobbing. Damon hugged me and started rubbing my back. 

"Shh. It's okay Krissy. Don't cry. Shh." he muttered as I cried into his chest, my tears soaking his shirt. After a few minutes, I finally looked up and rubbed my face.

"I think I'm fine. Let's talk about you now." My voice was thick with emotion.

"What about me?" he asked feigning innocence.

"You know what I'm talking about. What powers do you have?"

"Uh.." he looked down, embarrassed. "I can bring dead things to..."

"...life?" I finished.

"Yeah." he said, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Oh." 

"Yeah."

We sat in silence for a few minutes.

"Dammy?"

"Hmm..."

"Could you have saved Marie?"

"No Krissy, I couldn't have done it. The power was split into two on my birth where my twin sister can save animals, including humans whereas I can save plants."

"Hmm. Who's your twin sister?"

"Daniella."

Daniella, Daniella, Daniella!

"You mean that famous vet?"

"Yeah."

"Oh God! I should have known."

"Hmmm." 

Suddenly he stood up ,"I should be leaving now."

"'Kay. Bye."

"Bye Krissy."

"Thanks for being there with me today."

"..."

And he left.

I checked the time and realised it was well past dinnertime. So I decided to make the instant noodles, eat, and go to sleep.
