Broken

Chapter Seventeen

We arrive to the airport soon after and check our bags and go through security without any problems. We take seats in the right Departure Gate and I take out a book to read.
"What are you reading?" Parker asks me.
"Just a History book," I sigh.
"That's not so fun. Why aren't you reading a mystery or adventure book?" he asks.
"Because my whole life is a mystery and adventure." I smile a bit and he kisses my cheek. I continue reading the book about how the Gifted came together, but I have to stop because it's time to get on the plane.

We arrive in Canada after the flight and when we leave the airport I shiver. What kind of idiot doesn't bring a coat to Canada. Me. Parker notices me shivering and takes off his hoodie and gives it to me.
"Thank you," I smile and he smiles in return.
"Now, we need to find Megara," Marcus states.
"Mom told me she's in a foster home in downtown Quebec. Lets go check it out." I mention.
We take a train to downtown Quebec. Quebec is truly beautiful, I don't know why anyone wouldn't want to live here, sure it is cold but it's still beautiful. We find the Foster Home after a good hour of searching and we walk in and see a lady at a desk.
"Hello?" I ask.
"Hello. Who are you?" she asks.
"I'm Marvina, and this is Marcus and Parker. Is Megara Thorn here?" I ask again.
"How do you know Megara Thorn?" she asks back.
"Look, we need to visit her, she's our cousin!" I exclaim.
"Megara Thorn is dangerous. Are you sure?" she asks again.
"We're positive! Just let us see her!" Marcus yells from behind.
"Okay, follow me. Her room is in the basement." the woman stands up and starts walking towards the steps going down. We follow her through the dark and cold basement. I hold Parker's hand as we do so and he squeezes my hand when we reach a door labeled Meg Lives Here and below that Do Not Enter! Leave Me Alone! The woman knocks at the door.
"Meg? You have some family here to see you."
A voice on the other side of the door speaks softly, almost as someone was crying, "Family? I d-don't have any family."
"Just open the door, I'm leaving you with them," the woman smiles at us and walks back up the stairs, after she leaves the door squeaks open and a girl, maybe sixteen or seventeen stands there with long brown hair and beautiful gray eyes that look like mine.
"Who are you?" she asks.
"I'm Marvina and this is Marcus! We're your cousins." I smile.
She looks us up and down determining if it is possible we are related and them smiles, "What about him?" she nods at Parker.
"This is Parker. M-My boyfriend," I smile again.
"Parker Harris?" she asks.
"Uh, yeah." Parker replies.
"You're dad is evil. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for him." she snarls.
"My dad- he's dead." Parker says quietly and Megara uncrosses her arms.
"Anyways, how about you all come in my room. This room is the only place I'm allowed in the house." she turns back towards her room and we follow her inside.
"So, Megara-" Marcus begins.
"Just call me Meg." she interrupts.
"So, Meg," Marcus restarts, "we need you to come with us and you need to help us defeat your father."
"My father? He was the one who dropped me off here because I wasn't what he wanted," her voice cracks and we stay silent.
