Chereads / Loving Indiana / Chapter 3 - Chapter Two

Chapter 3 - Chapter Two

My parents' murder is still being investigated. I have my own copy of the file on my computer but it always seems cold. No one really knows anything. The only thing I have ever been able to get out of Jackson was someone was keeping an eye on me. As if I was the target. Seems the mystery was who was going to get me first because the government was also looking into me. Looks like the government won.

I should start from the beginning, my mom always said I was special like I have said before. People actually would stop whatever they would be doing to come to see me. My dad had to pick me up and run after a man stopped his car and tried to give me stuff...well he really didn't stop his car, he just got out of the car. Mom cried, dad told me not to worry. Then I heard them argue about keeping me home. Which they had for a while until I begged to go back to school. Like I said before, I would have access to a library. I always wonder if they just agreed because of me and I really wanted to go back to school really to get closer to books, see my parents bought me whatever book I wanted until I started to run out of space. Although my parents would have just given me new shelves if I asked.

See I had been given the great gift of magnetism. Or how did Edward put it in Twilight, you are drawn into my scent...my voice...my looks, or at least something along those lines. It's not very hard to draw someone to me, to dazzle them like the vampires but I am not a vampire and this isn't some supernatural book or television show. The government was in fear that someone would use me to take over the world. The government wouldn't want someone who could start a war using just a voice. Well, I guess I should say they didn't want the WRONG person to use my voice, they didn't mind using me.

As a kid I could draw people to me without words just as if I was a planet with strong gravity and able to pull in my surroundings. I think no one would have known about me if my dad didn't post a study about me. People all over the world wonder if it was true. Although dad never said who the child was I guess the government put 2 and 2 together and got 4. At least that's what Nolan told me, why he was coming to see me.

So when my parents were attacked the government stepped in. I was erased from the world, in the news it said my parents and myself walked in on a home invasion. We were all killed and later discovered by neighbors. My parents were both only children whose parents both died when they were younger. Something I'm sure bonded them. With no family, I would have been put in foster care. I would have probably forgotten or worse killed. The Joneses were the whole reason for me being here. The government groomed me in all areas I would need to do my work. How to use that magnetic charm for good. Although Nolan really had no idea how to raise me. He knew that I could keep Jackson on his feet and we both grew up to fight. I was taught how to make myself look frail but always have the upper hand. I was given training in hand-to-hand combat as well as weapon takedown. When it came to my voice being no match, Nolan and Jackson both agreed that I should still learn how to do all the tough stuff, in case something happens to my throat.

Today is my first day at Eastern Seas High. It is the second semester, the first day. I knew the story I am told to say every time we move. I'm a transfer student from some town no one even knows in Alaska. My job is to draw that trouble to me and handle it. With the need for constant moving and not being noticed my doctored transcript looks like my "family" moves around a lot. Eh, I guess Twilight had it down right. I really need to find different things to read. To be fair, I did enjoy Twilight but that's a different story. My name is the only thing I got to keep. My name really was Indiana, and my dad really did love Harrison Ford. The only thing that changed was my last name. Why did I get to keep my name? When I am supposed to be hiding. Well, to be fair I was never really hiding, the government wanted to push out whoever was trying to get me. I don't think there are many Indianas.

As I was getting ready for school, I curled my brown locks. Tying a red satin ribbon around like a headband with a pretty bow. I slipped on my black lace dress, the one that hugged my curves and showed the bits of my cleavage. My feet slipped into a pair of red high heel shoes. Finishing the last of my outfit with a rose gold locket that drops between my cleavage. I knew the art of seduction very well. While some girls like to flirt or worship a guy into being with her. I used my natural draw to bring in my bait. I walked down the stairs and sat on the step before the end, and rubbed some coconut oil on my legs before I left.

"Eh, you ready?" Jax comes around the corner and asks.

I nod, "As much as one can be." I said.
