Chapter 2 - 2

There was a knock on Kelly's door. "Kelly time to get..." Catherine pulled the covers off of Kelly's 'body' revealing an empty bed. "Oh Kelly".Catherine sighs and shook her head.

Kelly walks down the street with her hood over her head and earphones in her ears. She kept her head down. She closed her eyes not wanting to listen to what people were thinking, she tried not to listen to people's thoughts but she couldn't help it. Kelly looked at the sky as it boomed. Kelly looked at an antique store and went inside just as it started to pour down. She took off her hood and looked around the store. People in there looked at her like she was crazy. 'What is with her hair?' 'It looks like a grape'. A small group of girls laughed and walked outside with umbrellas. Kelly stared at them and the umbrella flew away and the girls got soaked, Kelly half-smiles as she heard them scream walking deeper into the store looking around.

"Can I help you, dear?" An old woman came out from the back room. "No, just getting out of the rain" "we have umbrellas if you need one" "no thank you". Kelly walks around then saw a small wooden box with a lock on it. She looked at the older woman who was helping a couple look at lamps. Kelly picked it up and held it in her hands, she ran her fingers over the box. "It was my grandmother's" Kelly almost dropped the box jumping out of her skin. "Sorry to scare you miss" "I-it's fine" the old woman looked at the box then at Kelly "take it" "I have no money" "it's free" "I don't want to take it for free" "you need it more than I do, no one will buy it because it is old and small" "can I have it?" "Yes you can" "but..." suddenly a shot came from outside and the old lady fell, Kelly put the box on the ground next to the old woman and looked at her hold her hand feeling her plus "take it" the old woman muttered, "but I can't it belongs to your family" Kelly looked up and saw a hooded figure run out with a vase with the police running after him and two coming in the store, Kelly grabbed the box and put it in her bag "and take this to my grandson...." her hand fell to the ground with a crystal in her hand connected to a chain. Kelly quickly grabbed it and put it in her pocket. "Are you ok miss?" Kelly looks up at the officer "yes sir... but... she... is''.

Ginna stood in front of Kelly. "It is always hard to watch some die" "but I barely knew her" "but I did, my mom was friends with her and so was I" Kelly looked at Ginna and put her hood over her head" "why do you wear your hood so much Kelly" "people aren't used to people with purple hair" Kelly opened the door to the outside getting dressed in raindrops. "I understand you don't like talking about this but... how much do you remember of the.... accident" "almost everything..." "can you tell me what parts?" "I don't need to talk about it" "Kelly you can't hold it inside for all your life" "well I have been for eleven years so far I can hold it in for a few more" People looked at Kelly as she stomped up the stairs. "What's with her Ginna?" "Something that is between Kelly and I, got it, you all?" Ginna looked at every kid that was at the scene "yes Ginna".

'Give this to my grandson' "what's that" "the woman that died gave it to me, she said to give it to her grandson" "oh, I know where he lives, do it tomorrow you have had enough for today". "Can we talk Ginna?" "sure" Ginna closed Kelly's bedroom door. "Did Catherine tell you about my powers" "yes she did" "your not... freaked out?" "No, she told me a few weeks before you came, on the phone" "oh, you know what to do just in case someone finds out" "yes". Kelly looked at her bag. "Jade gave you something else didn't she?" "Who's Jade?" "The woman that died" "oh". Kelly got the box out of her bag and put it on her bed between Ginna and her. "I don't know what is inside, but she insisted that I took it" "well this holds the secret of your power" "put how did..." "she can tell who is a magical being" "you mean?" "your n, not the only one here in the world who is trying to hide their power from the world".
