Chance: Chapter One- (Untitled for now)
11:30, Wednesday, July 2, 2008
A sigh escaped my lips as I sat on the swing. I watched a few kids run about, screaming, yelling, being happy. Ah... Bliss... They were so cute. I looked down at my lap and moved my legs back and forth in sync to make myself move. They were lucky I guess. It was summer. Summer time was always a happy time for kids. Pools were open, ice cream was needed, and barely any rainy days. Happy Happy Happy!
Well... I wasn't so happy. I patted my stomach with my gloved hands, and let out another sigh. What will become of me? I really wasn't sure... I could give it up, but that scared me too much. Yeah, I was forced, but everything should live right? What if I wasn't a good mother? I mean I was an immigrant, sixteen, two months pregnant, and had lesbian adoptive parents. What the hell was I going to do? Maybe I should just go crawl under a rock and die... I couldn't do that of course. I was scared. Plus I had that... Other problem....
Oh well... I stopped swinging by putting my feet on the ground. I'd be fine... I always pulled through in the end. I closed my eyes and prayed. I was a somewhat religious person... I didn't go to church. Maybe this was my punishment for not going to church. I wasn't sure.
I got off the swing, and stuffed my hands in my pockets. Maybe I'd become a hobo... That'd be funny... Valedictorian Alura Rose O'Conner, Most likely to succeed becomes a high school drop out and a hobo... Damn... that would really suck. I had began to walk home. My home wasn't too far from the park. It was in an ideal location... Five minutes from the park, fifthteen minutes from school, ten minutes from Wal-Mart.
I smiled. Just a block or two, and I'd be able to see her... My girlfriend and the love of my life. I felt giddy. Samantha Lynn Peterson. She was the most beautiful, lovely female in the whole wide world, and I loved her so very much. She had been overseas for a year, and was just returned. She had been stationed in the current war, and I just couldn't wait to see her. Sammy was four years older me, and in the military. I wasn't really sure what she served as, but I was just happy she was finally returning.
I took after my mothers, being lesbian and all. Guys were way too much trouble. Look where I'm at. Knocked up. I never would willingly have sex with a guy. I had trusted him too... It pissed me off at how he just... took what he wanted. Last I heard, Silas was on the run. I didn't care though. He could be dead, and I'd be happy.
I hurried home, it was noon already, and I was so excited. I couldn't wait to see her, feel her touch me, feel her lips on mine. God, I couldn't wait. I jogged up the stairs, and knocked on the door. One short knock and two long ones. Lily's, Jo's, and my secret knock. We had to have a secret code... If not we were screwed. I didn't want to be taken away from them.
A brown haired women opened the door, and I smiled at her. Jo... My ma. I called Jo Ma, and Lily, Mamma, so they wouldn't get confused. They were the most awesome parents a girl could have. I hugged her, and she kissed my cheek. She grabbed my hand and led me to the dinning room.
I saw a very familiar red head in one of the seats. Her back was towards me, and she was in a military uniform. A few tears slid down my cheeks, and I saw Lily point to me. Sam jolted up, her chair falling to the ground, and ran to me. She squeezed me in a hug, and lifted her lips to mine.
It felt different. It felt more forced then anything, but then again, we hadn't seen each other in a year... It was bound to be different right? She was different. She was still tiny and pixie like. Sammy was a head shorter then me. Her skin was usually pale, translucent but now it was almost the same as my skin. Tanned. I saw her pretty blue eyes, and I kissed her again. It felt better. She wrapped her arms around my neck, and I put my hands on her waist. God, it felt so right. I had missed her so much.
We stayed there for a few minutes kissing, when I heard the door close. She pulled away from me, and smiled mischievously. I guess my parents wanted to leave us alone for a while, not that I didn't mind. Sammy pushed my hair away from my face and kissed me again.
"There's those brown eyes I love.... I love you, Alura."
She kissed me again, and I felt like I was in heaven. She took my hand and guided me to the living room. I turned on the T.V. and we sat on the couch. It was like the old days, where we would just make out... I flipped a few channels to the news, and that's when she pushed me down on the couch.
Sammy held my wrist down against the couch, and began to kiss me. We stayed there kissing again, but then she pulled off my shirt. I blinked as her hands went to my pants, and I quickly pushed her off me. It took some force, but I got her off. I sat up, grabbing my discarded shirt. I saw the look in her eyes, and I bit my lip.
This felt wrong.... So very wrong. It didn't feel like those sweet times we had together. She had changed... I looked down sheepishly.
"Can't we take this sl-"
There was a bang, and I jolted up. Light poured through from the door, there were men in black suits. I blinked once again, I finally got it a few seconds later.... Crap! s**t, this was so horrible!
Sam made a grab for me, but I had removed one of my gloves. She got her hand around my wrist, but I touched her clothing with my ungloved hand. Vines sported and began to wrap themselves around her body. She screamed, and I ran. I touched the ground, letting a few trees sprout up, and ran up the stairs. The men in black had trouble, and I was glad. I got into my room, and locked my door. I barricaded it with vines and bushes, and grabbed my bag with my gloved hand.
My bag was my safety bag. I had had it ready for a few days now. I grabbed my IPOD, and a bag of seeds, and opened my window. I saw a few more men in black down there. I scowled. They were like cockroaches. I took a deep breath, and touched the side of my house. More vines sprouted up, and I grabbed one and swing down. My hand was on the ground once again, and trees began to slowly rise. s**t... I was running out of juice.
I ran, scrambling up and through the woods that were nearby. I hid in one of the trees and covered myself with plants and leaves. I was up there for three hours until they gave up their search.
I knew they were coming for me.... I just didn't know they'd use Sam. I was on teh run now from the PPS... Protection of Public safety. I carried the X- Gene... It was a mutation in the chromosomes where I evolved. Letting me control plants. They called us mutants, Mosters, or even non humans. A few days ago, PPS had ordered the capture of all those carrying the X-Gene or those whom helped the X-Geners. My mothers knew of what I was, and they had protected me. I just couldn't believe Sammy would do this to me... My heart was broken... It wasn't the time to lick my wounds... I had to keep moving.
Alone... That's how I felt. I was glad I had eaten before I left, but it seemed like a long time ago. Plus I had morning sickness, I was tired, and I needed to pee. God damn... Pregnancy was a b***h...
Maybe I'd become Asexual... I couldn't break my own heart. I tripped over a branch and cursed everything and everyone except God. I stayed there for a few minutes, and I was out...
When your running from someone, don't go to sleep in the middle of the forest. It's a very very stupid thing to do. Take a bunch of energy boosters or something. I'm an idiot... But oh well... We all make mistakes.
I awoke to find myself bound, chained, and gagged.
What a nice day this was turning out to be
