Colors

Chapter 9

I wait till I get home to read the book, it must be good if she personally gave it too me. But I'm still curious as to why...
Pulling up into my home I see that my parents aren't home, which is usual they're always busy. I sigh to myself and head up to my room to see what this book is about, throwing it gently on the bed I sit down and begin to read...

"I feel different the grey shades are becoming lighter, dad says its normal for a child my age to see this. He's becoming irrational. What's going on with me, mama said she'd take me to see a doctor soon about my eye problems...

"The doctors say my eyes are fine, but I don't believe them, I'm seeing weird shades like everything is getting lighter. Can it be? I am a mutant, no it can't be. But why is little red specks popping up everywhere, and what about the blue spots in the sky. How do I know these colors? Is it instinctive to know these colors?"

"Oh my god I woke up this morning and my room was full of colors, I screamed so loud I just couldn't believe it, my parents started crying and calling me a gifted mutant. I was able to see what my dad and mama look like with color, oh my god they're beautiful. And little baby Ebony, she... She's so amazing.. I can't I just can't.."

"God.. Not only was I given the power to see color. I can see... No I can't say I can't let anyone know, this color seeing business.. It's not a gift it's a curse. I saw what those men did I could see everything. Take it back take it all back I don't want it anymore!!

"My parents are sending me away claiming I've gone mad, the doctors say that something is wrong with me. What they don't know is that there's something wrong with them too, it's not just me. I'll be back my beloved journal in due time."

The psych ward has given me the all clear to go home or visit with my family, they're letting me visit. But not before I take Ebony trick or treating, she looks so cute as a fairy. I love her so much, I want to show her how much I love her...
Awh she's trick or treating but something's wrong I can see it, that man. He's obviously drunk. I need to protect her.
Ebony dear if you're reading this, I did what I did to protect you, I knew what was going to happen. What the colors did to me they drove me mad, but what I learned from the colors is what kind of people there are and who they really are, Ebony this is a beautiful gift I've talked to others like me and many do not have my ability. But mine was a curse, hopefully if you ever get it. The blessing of color, is that. A blessing. And not a curse.
Farewell my darling."
