Angel's POV:
I stared out the window. I couldn't sleep. I was too upset. I got my ass beat for getting home late. Mama is still mad at me while Kya is happy, being the evil sibling she is. I sighed in frustration and stood up. I changed into a wet suit, grabbed my surfboard, then headed downstairs. As soon as I hit the bottom step, I immediately saw Kya.
She poured a glass of orange juice. She looked up at me and smirked. "Where are you going? You're still on punishment." She said, happily. "Piss off. I'm going out." I said. "No you're not. Not unless you want me to tell Mama." She said, smiling. "What are you doing up so early anyways?" I asked. "Well I thought you might sneak out early and I was right. Now go back upstairs before I call Mama." She said.
I rolled my eyes and walked over towards the front door. "Mama!! Angel's leaving!!" She yelled. I rolled my eyes and closed the door. I walked over to my car and got in. I sped off towards the beach. I crossed over the large boulders and rocks to get the girls' secret beach. I looked out at the waves and ran out into the water. I carved up the waves.
I needed to do something to cool off. "Angel?!" Someone called. I looked behind me to see Rose and Bailey with their surfboards. They paddled out to me. "Hey. I thought you guys were grounded?" I asked. "We are. What about you?" Rose asked. "I am too. I needed to get away before I do something terrible." I said. "Us too. My parents grounded me but I needed to get away." Rose said.
I shook my head. "It makes no sense." I said. "Exactly. Why won't they believe us? Like I know what happened to us sounds crazy but it's true! But no one will believe us." Bailey said. "This is all ridiculous. We should not be in trouble for something that completely out of our control." Rose said. "Exactly. We tried to explain what happened to us but no one wants to listen." I said.
"It's crazy. Like first, we meet a demonic rabbit, then my car drives us back into the woods, we get hit by a meteorite, a bunch of monsters chases us, we almost got raped by three dudes, and now we're all in trouble because of it." Rose said. I shook my head. "Sometimes I can't stand my life." I said. "Come on. Let's surf some more before our parents wake up or something." Rose said.
"I think my Mama already woke up because my little sister snitched on me." I said. We surfed some waves before heading back. I decided to go to the café and grab a bite to eat before I go back home. I walked in and looked around. "Oh hey Angel." Someone said. "Oh hey. Where's Christian?" I asked, curiously. "Oh he gets here at noon." He said. I sighed.
Then he turned on the coffee maker. Then humming was loud. All of a sudden, my head started hurting. I clutched my head tightly. Ow ow OWWW!!! My head was in so much pain, it felt like it was about to crack open. "Angel you all right?" The cashier asked. "Yeah, I'm fine." I said. I shook my head. "I'll come back later. Tell Christian to text me when he gets here." I said.
"Got it." He said. I turned around to open the door. 'Damn you gotta a fat ass Angel.' I paused and turned around to look at him. "Excuse me?!" I said. "What? I didn't say anything." He said. "Yes you did. You were just talking about my ass you pervert." I said. He stared at me. "Angel I didn't say anything about your ass." He said, nervously. "Yes you did bro! I fucking heard you!!" I yelled.
The manager came out to the front. "Whoa whoa. What's going on?" She asked. "He said sexual remarks about me." I said. "Josh!" She said. "I did not!! I didn't say anything." He said. "What did he say?" She asked. "He said my ass was fat. I know it is but you shouldn't be looking at it." I said. "Wha- okay I may have thought about it but I didn't say it." He said.
"Yo shut the fuck up!! Tell Christian to text me when he gets here." I said. I turned around and walked out the door. I walked to my car then got in. I drove off and headed back home. I stopped at a red light and looked over to see a woman on her phone while walking her dog. She looked at me and waved. I waved back. She smiled and kept waking.
'Ugh. It's the famous surfer again. She thinks she's so special. Anybody can surf ya know.' "Excuse me?!" I said. "I didn't say anything hon." She called. 'If I did, I would direct that shit at you.' She jogged away. I stared after her. No. You know what? I'm gonna handle her. As soon as the light changed, I sped after her. I pulled up next to her and got out.
"I think I'm special just because I surf?" I said. She stared at me. "Excuse me?" She asked. "You heard me. I don't think I'm special just because I surf." I said. "Honey I didn't say anything about that." She said. "Yes you did bro. I heard you." I said, getting in her face. Some people gathered around us. "Angel I didn't say anything about-" I cut her off by getting loud.
"Bruh yes you did. You were talking shit about me." I said. "No I didn't." She said. "Whoa ladies. What's going on?" The sheriff asked. "She was talking shit about me." I said. "No I didn't! I swear I didn't." The woman said. "What happened?" The sheriff asked. 'Oh God. Shit is already happening this early in the morning?' I looked at the sheriff.
'They don't pay me enough for this shit.' I stared at him. "So are you gonna tell me what happened?" He asked. 'Please let it be nothing so I can go pour me a shot.' I stared at his mouth. They didn't move when he was talking. What is happening? The woman walked away with her dog. "Look Angel, I'm a huge fan of yours but don't think just cause you're a celebrity, I won't arrest you." He said.
'This girl has a bright future ahead of her. I hope she doesn't screw it up.' He turned around and walked away. How come his lips didn't move when he said that? I looked around at the other people. They all stare at me. 'Oh no. The great surf guru nearly got arrested. That would look bad on her reputation.' 'I can't believe anyone would want to start shit with Angel Starlight.'
'She's so sweet. Why would she risk her reputation like that?' I stared at all of the people. None of them spoke or moved their lips but I could hear their voices. Am I going crazy? I walked over to my car and got in. I drove away. This isn't happening. Wait what is happening?! I looked at all the people I passed by. They all waved. None talked to me but I heard them say something about me.
I pulled up to the house. I sat there for a few minutes before getting out. I walked in the house and was immediately met with Mama and Kya. Mama glared while Kya smirked. "Didn't I tell yo ass not to go nowhere?" Mama asked. 'Girl you irk my nerves.' I stared at her. "Do you hear me talking to you girl?" She asked. "I-I think so." I said. She stared at me.
'Fuck is wrong with this girl?' "Nothing is wrong with me....I think..." I trailed off. "Mama I think Angel is sick to something." Kya said. "No I'm not." I said. "Kya." Mama said. "Look how she looking." Kya said. I walked away. Mama grabbed my arm roughly before recoiling her hand. "Owww!! Girl you burning up." She said. I felt my own forehead. It felt normal.
"I don't feel anything." I said. 'I swear she from another planet.' I glared at Kya. "Kya you need for mind yo own business. I'm not from another planet." I said. She stared at me before looking at Mama. "Mama I was just thinking of that. She reads minds. I told you she was weird." She said. I glared at her before realizing something. Can I read minds?
"I need to go somewhere." I said. "Uh uh. You still on punishment." Mama said. I sighed. 'Girl you really bout to make me hurt you.' I looked at her but she had her back to me. Can I read minds? "Mama can we go out? I wanna eat." Kya said. "Go change Angel." Mama said, angrily. I walked upstairs and changed clothes. I put down my surfboard and headed downstairs.
We walked out the door and got in the car. Mama drove us to town and we pulled up to Taco Bell to get a breakfast burrito. We grabbed the burritos and left. Then we went to the park. The whole time I was lost in my head. I was thinking about if I can really read minds. No that's silly. What person can read minds? There's no such thing as mind reading.
"Do you hear me talking to you Angel?!" Mama yelled. "Sorry. I was just thinking." I said. "Well I'm thinking about whooping yo ass!! I don't know what's gotten into you Angel, but it needs to go. You ignore me one more fucking time, I will beat the black off of you, do you hear me?!" She threatened. I looked at Kya as she smirked. 'Ha ha.' I glared at her.
Suddenly, the car came to screeching stop. We looked up at Mama. She turned around and glared at me. "I SAID DO UPU FUCKING HEAR ME ANGEL?!" She shouted. "Yes!! I hear you!!" I said, loudly. She glared at me. "Girl I will drag you to hell. Keep fucking with me Angel!!" She yelled. What is happening?! Why am I getting into so much trouble? I looked at Kya.
She smirked at me. I felt my anger build up. She then screamed. "What Kya?!" Mama cried. "Angel's hair is on fire!!" She cried. I looked in the rear view mirror. "No it's not." I said. "It just was." She said. "Kya don't you start. Matter of fact, fuck the park. I'm taking y'all's asses back to the house." Mama said. Kya glared at me as Mama drove us back home.
She and Kya got out the car while I stayed in. "Angel get out my car!!" Mama yelled. That's it!! I got out and slammed the car door shut. I ran to my car and got in. I quickly sped off without looking back. "I don't know what I did to deserve this shit, but it ain't worth it." I said to myself. I sped off towards the beach. I walked to the secret beach.
I sat down on the large boulders and looked out at the ocean. I sat there until the girls showed up. "Angel? What are you doing here?" Bailey asked. I didn't answer. "You okay? You look pissed." Rose said. "I'm having a rough morning. I keep getting yelled at but I think something happened to me. I keep hearing voices." I said. "What?" They asked.
"Look I know it sounds crazy but I think I can read minds." I said. "Angel-" I cut Rose off. "No listen. Think of something crazy. Don't tell me what it is. Tell Bailey what it is. I'll back up and you whisper what it is." I said, as I moved far away from them. She then whispered in Bailey's ear. 'I like turtles.' I walked over to them. "You just said of that you like turtles." I said.
They looked at each other. "How'd you know?" Rose asked. "I'm telling you guys I can read minds." I said. 'Angel I hope you're not losing it.' "I'm not losing it Bailey." I said. She gasped. "I was just thinking of that. Maybe you can read minds too. And we were just gonna come see you." Bailey said. "For what?" I asked. "We think something happened to us too." Bailey said.
"Really? Something happened to you guys too? Like what?" I asked, curiously. "Rose told me that she screamed when her phone nearly dropped to the floor. She screamed so loud, she broke every single window in her house." Bailey said. She grinned. "And guess what? I saw it." She said, smiling. "Wait you went to her house? Why didn't you guys invite me?" I asked.
"No. Like I saw in a vision. I'm not even psychic. Like I had a vision that you were gonna come here." She said. I stared at her. "Rose show her your scream. It is loud Angel, so warning." She said. Rose cleared her throat then screamed really loudly. I covered my ears as it was loud. Really loud. I looked at her and slowly uncovered my ears. I heard car alarms blaring in the distance.
Rose gasped. "Angel, your ears are bleeding. So is yours Bailey." Rose said. I looked down at my hands. I had blood on them. "What the hell happened to us? Did we get powers or something?" I asked. "That meteorite. Maybe it gave us powers." Bailey said, grinning. "You know, that could be a theory. Meteorites doesn't just fall out of the sky and hit people without killing them." Rose said.
"She's right. We shouldn't be alive after that." I said. "Maybe it did give us powers?" Bailey said. "So what? I can read minds, Bailey can see the future, and Rose is able to bust windows just by screaming?" I said. "Looks that way." Rose said. "Maybe we need to explore this." I said. "What?" Bailey said. "Yes. My little sister said that my hair was on fire in the car." I said.
I began to think. Then I gasped softly. "Maybe I got another power?" I asked. "Well now that's not fair." She said. "Look, right now we need to be able to control our powers. We don't know what we're capable of." Rose said. "That's what makes it so cool." Bailey said. "Bailey come on now. We need to control our powers." I said. "Okay fine." She said.
"Okay so how do we do this?" I asked, curiously. Suddenly, Bailey gasped. Her eyes became milky white. "Okay that's scary." I said. "It is. Bailey are you okay?" Rose asked. Bailey didn't respond. We called out to her but she didn't respond. Then she eyes went back to normal. "Whoa. A woman is gonna come see us." She said. "What?" I asked.
"Yeah. A woman is gonna come to us." She said. "Who?" Rose asked. Bailey shrugged. "I don't know but apparently it's very important. Come on." She said. We walked all the way back to the beach. We walked over to our cars and then a woman approached us. "Hello ladies." She said. We looked at each other. "Is that her?" I whispered. Bailey nodded.
"Yes." She said. "Hi. Who are you?" Rose asked. "My name is Rachel." She said. "Nice to meet you Rachel." I said. We all shook her hands. "So, Rachel, do you need something?" I asked. She nodded. "Yes. You three." She said. "Us?" Bailey repeated. "Yes. Recently, you three were hit by a meteorite, weren't you?" She asked. We looked at each other. "How did you know?" Rose asked.
"I rather not answer that in public. Let's talk privately." She said. "Umm we're not just gonna go with a strange lady we just met." I said. Rachel stared at me. "Fair enough." She said. "So how did you know we were hit by a meteorite?" Rose asked. "I'll explain everything later. But right now, I need you ladies to go home, pack all your things, and come with me to your new home." Rachel said.
"Dude you are giving us major stranger danger vibes." Bailey said. "Look, I can't explain everything right now. You three recently came into your powers. You are mutants. You have powers and now I need you to come with me to your new home." Rachel said. "What?" I asked. "Look, I promise I will explain everything." She said. "But we can't just leave. Our parents will be upset." Rose said.
"I will handle that." Rachel said. "How do you know about our powers? How do you know about that meteorite? And we are what? Mutants?" I asked. Rachel sighed in frustration. "I hate this part of my job. Look, a lot of questions will get answered by right now, you all need to go home and pack up all your stuff." Rachel said. "No way. We're not gonna to just do what a strange lady says. We don't even know you." Bailey said.
Rachel stared at her then sighed. She began to rub her temples. "This part of of my job is why I'm so stressed. Look, here's my card. I'll be at the site where you first got your powers, in the clearing where the meteorite struck. If you change your mind, come see me there." Rachel said, as she handed us her cards. She got in a black car. I just noticed the two big, buff dudes standing beside it. They got in and drove away.
I looked at the girls. "That was weird." I said. "Yeah. It was. How did she know what happened to us? How did she know about our powers? And we're mutants? The hell is even that?" Bailey asked. "Look, let's just go home. I know I'm already in even more trouble." I said. We got into our cars and drove home. I pulled up and got out. I walked inside the house and was greeted by Mama and Kya. They both looked at me.
"There you are." Mama said. I was taken aback. "You're not mad at me anymore?" I asked. "No. Ange don't run off like that again. Look, I'm sorry for snapping at you earlier. I've been so stressed out and busy lately and I took it out on you. I'm sorry." She said. I smiled. "It's okay Mama." I said. "Now come on. We're going to have a girls day." She said. I grinned then hugged her. 'God I wish I never adopted you. You spend enough of my money as it is.'
I looked up at Mama. "What?" I asked. "I didn't say anything." She said. I stared at her. "Angel what is it?" She asked, looking me up and down. 'Please let there something wrong with you so I can take you to the hospital and move away before you get out. Lord knows I'm only taking care of you for that check.' My eyes welled up. Tears streamed down my face. "Angel why are you crying?" Mama asked.
I yanked myself away and ran out the door. "Angel?! Where are you going?!" Mama called. I got in my car and sped off again. I drove all the way to the park. I cried in the car for about ten minutes before I got out. I looked down at the card Rachel gave me. I climbed over the fence and walked into the woods. I walked around forever til I came to the clearing where Rose's car drove us. I looked around and saw Rachel standing with a bunch of men.
I ran over to her, calling her name. "Oh Angel. Did you change your mind?" She asked. "Yes. You said I was a mutant and that I have powers. I wanna know more about that." I said. "So do we." Someone said. I turned around to see Rose and Bailey. "What happened to make you all change your minds?" Rachel asked. "Turns put Mama never really loved me." I said, sadly.
"My parents threw my phone into the wall and cracked it." Rose said. "And my Dad threw my surfboard into the wood chipper." Bailey said. I winced. "Ooooh that's harsh." I said. She nodded. "Yeah I know." She said. "So Rachel, when do we leave?" I asked. She smiled. "First, you need you things. Go back home and pack. Then come back. I will explain everything. I'll still be here cleaning up this mess the meteorite caused." She said.
Me and the girls went home and packed up. My Mama and Kya questioned me when I began packing. Mama tried so hard to stop me but I was determined to leave. I didn't want to be a part of a family if I wasn't loved. After I put my suitcases in the car, I went back for my surfboard. But that was no use. Mama slammed it on the brick wall of the house and broke it. I looked down at all the broken bits of my surfboard.
I felt tears streaming down my face. I looked up at Mama. "I HATE YOU!!" I shouted, as I ran back to my car. I got in and sped off. I was so pissed off. I drove back to the park and got out. I ran all the way back to the clearing. Luckily, Rachel was still there. Rose and Bailey were already there. "Angel, what's wrong?" Rose asked. "My Mama destroyed my surfboard." I said. "Same here. My Mom threw my surfboard into a lake when I got back." Rose said.
I shook my head. "This is so unfair. Why is all this happening now that we've changed?" I asked. "That's one of the things that's gonna happen when you get your powers as a mutant. People start to show their true colors." Rachel said. She smirked. "Now let's go to see your new home." She said. We walked back to the park and got in our cars. We followed Rachel to a big mansion a little way from town.
It was in the mountains. "Here we are girls. Your new home." Rachel said. "Snowy terrain...lovely. I've always wanted to live in the mountains." Rose said. I looked around as we got out. "Yeah. It's nice." I said. "It's very roomy." Bailey said. "Oh yes. Over two hundred and fifty acres." Rachel said. "Wow. That's huge." Bailey said. As we walked inside the house, I thought about Mama and Kya. I hope I did the right thing.
