A Dangerous Secret Revealed

Chapter 5

I followed Mom to wherever she was going. Living room. Yeah.
"You know, Cath, this thing is very serious. You're life will be in danger, no, it's already in danger!" Mom said with a serious face. She was no longer smiling, like the other time. The next thing I knew she was on her knees, on the floor.
She was screaming, "No! Grazilda no!" What's happening to her??! Who is Grazilda!?
"Mom! MOM! Are you okay?!" When I saw her face, her eyes had no color. It was pitch black.
"Mom...?" She stopped yelling and stood up and started walking. "Mom? Where are you going? Mom!"
I realized she was walking towards the kitchen. I was behind her, following her.
She grabbed a knife from the kitchen table. Is she going to kill herself?! Or me?!
"Mom! Drop the knife!" She held the knife in a way that looks like she was gonna murder. She WAS going to stab me.
She's not herself. Someone's controlling her mind.
"Mom! Stop, Mom! It's me! Catherine! Cath? Your daughter?" She started walking toward me, and I started walking backwards. Her eyes are still black. Her face is emotionless. Her movement doesn't belong to hers.
I was already crying.
"Mom, please stop! You'll kill me!" There was no where to walk backwards now.
I held out both my arm and hand for some reason. I don't know. It was based on my instinct.
Small pieces of sharp ice came out from both my palm. WHAT?! The pieces hit the knife and it fell to the floor. I think a piece of ice hit a part of Mom's hand, because I saw some blood drip. Or am I hallucinating?
Mom's eyes regained its color, and her face was full of emotion again. I still don't get what happened.
"Huh? What? What happened?" Mom looks so confused.
"M-mom? Are...are you yourself now..?"
"Huh? What do you mean? Ugh.... I don't feel well. I think I have a headache." Mom sat down on the sofa.
"Mom! Don't you remember anything?"
"Remember anything? Well....the last thing I remembered is....saying goodnight to you. How did I get here?"
Oh no! She lost all her memory from this morning! Everything, the diary, the mug, the wand!
" I think I'll go to my room and rest first. Can you watch James first?" She walked towards the stairs.
Does she really not remeber anything?
"But...
"Cath. Not now. I don't feel well. Watch James. And that's not a question."
That was the end of it. Ugh! I was so close to knowing everything! I'm worried about Mom. What happened to her? And what happened to my hands? Ice came out of it! How? Do I have powers? Is it the Superhero blood?
I remembered about James and went to his crib. He was peacefully sleeping.
Then I started to wonder what James was. Takinyo or Superhero? Or half-half? Or half- half-half, like me?
Ugh, everything is so confusing!
I sat down on a couch beside James and stared at him.
****************
(WAS THAT PART BORING? MAYBE! LETS SKIP THE STARING!)
****************
I opened my eyes. Did I sleep? How long? I turned my face to the crib. Where's James!? I started to panic. Where did he go?? What happened to him? James can't just crawl out of the crib, it's too high. Or can he?
I started looking around the room. He's not here! Where?? Could Mom have gotten him?? No, she said she was gonna rest. And she rests for the whole day when she's not feeling well.
I heard a giggle. James? Where?
"James? Where are you?" I called out.
I heard a giggle again. Louder, this time. I turned my head to the ceiling.
Oh god! James! He's up there. In midair! FLOATING!! Like what the lbhjcwfejkncefweclfkjneflwknj ?!?!??!
How did this happen!! What am I gonna do! Is James a Superhero??
"James? James.... Can you come down from there?" If he can float, he can come down. The problem is he doesn't want. He heard me, but did not listen. What should I do?
Ah! I have an idea. I took his teddy bear from the crib.
"James!" I called for his attention. He looked at me. "James? Do you want teddy?" He giggled, then nodded.
"Then come down!" I whispered. James frowned.
"Come and get it!" I put it to the couch.
It worked. James started going down, slowly. I held out my arms and caught him. I laid him on the crib and gave Teddy to him. He started to sleep again. This time I should really watch him. Or he would float agin.
Or worse.
