its about 2:30am now, all my tears are gone. Kit is still holding me whispering comforting things to me, he's been so patient with me which I greatly appreciate. I know that its time to tell him about my past, he's seen my scars and isn't turned away by them. so I take a deep breath and start my years long stories of pain. " I had just turned 3 when I was admitted to the first of many mental asylums, a year before was when I started acknowledging that I could see things others couldn't. at first Mackenzie but off my strange behavior as me just being an infant but after a year of no change she brought me to a doctor where they put a guess of early signs of schizophrenia. she admitted shortly after saying that she didn't have time to deal with her strange daughter. so she opted to sending be in to a padded cell." Kit seeing how hard this was on me started rubbing my back in an attempt at comforting me.
"at first they just tried giving me different drugs to see if it would help, after a few years of the different asylum's methods not working I was sent to an illegal and hidden from the government facility where they did banned experiments of their patients, me being their biggest challenge yet was a thrill to them. they did every thing they could think of. even resorting to actual full blown assault and torture when non of the other methods worked. for years up until I was 18 when I had the choice to leave I took it and was able to go home, though with that not being any better with my mother being both physically and verbally abusive towards me. when I turned 19 I have had enough and just up and left one night. and well here we are. my whole life I never had any friends or any romantic relation ships. the most time I have ever spent in a school is about a week. I have a father some where out there that I never met. I have abilities that I don't know how to control nor where they came from. and I probably even have some that I don't know about yet. I don't know what I am and after years of pain that's the thing that scares me shitless."
I thru up my arms in a motion of defeat, signaling that I was done with my life story. Kit leaned his forehead up against the side of my head " you have suffered throw so much pain to last a life time Riley, and for that I am so sorry that your life was such a shit show. but you are one of the strongest people just for being able to talk about what was done to you. you are a survivor of one of the most insane acts anyone could ever do to another human being." he kissed the side of my head, I love when he does that. it's a calming act as it's both cool and soothing. but this act makes me also very aware that I'm still 90% naked.
this makes me feel a little insecure enacting the act of me covering myself with my arms. " Riley you never have to hide yourself from me, you are the most beautiful creature I have ever lead eyes on. please never feel the need to shrink away. your scars are just a symbol that you survived something traumatic and anyone who can't see past them to see an angel, is a fool." he says as he slowly stands up and softly removes my arms from their stiff and tense places. " your probably tired after all that went on today, ill leave you to sleep. try to get some sleep Riley." he says a he hands me the over sized t shirt that I was originally going to put on, he then started to slowly dissolve in to thin air. " Kit wait! I don't want to be alone right know. can you stay with me for tonight please." I rush to say worried that hell just disappear before me finishing my words. Kit rematerializes and gives me a small smile, he then turns to face my door and hamper giving me privacy to remove my bra and put on the t-shirt.
that night I laid in bed, facing Kit. I fell asleep looking into his ghostly honey-coloured eyes.
*****************************************************************
that morning I awoke to a stream of bright light shining in my face, I turned to face the other side of the bed where Kit was last night. I was slightly startled to see Kit the just staring at me. I quickly laughed at myself for jumping just a little. ok give me a brake I literally just woke up." good morning beautiful, your finally awake. its about god damn time." Kit says in a teasing ton with a growing smile of his face. " morning, what time is it?" I say back to him as I rub the sleep out of the corners of my eyes. " its a little after 8:30am, come on. you have a busy day today." Kit says as he starts to get up and walks over to my closet to I guess pick out my outfit for the day. " wait what, why do I have a busy day. what am I doing?"
"Silas called when you were asleep, he asked Clark to tell me to tell you when you woke up that he has a case for you to ride along on. Clark also told me to let you know that she won't be expecting you at work today and not to worry about it, she also said that we're going out for dinner tonight to celebrate your first case." well at least I got a semi-good sleep last night, seems like I'm going to need it for today.
I quickly showered and got dressed in the outfit that Kit had picked out for me, the outfit consisted of a black tank top that had non functional buttons going down the middle, a pair of black baggie cut of at the knee pants, and complete with my army green sleeveless jacket from Clark and my black leather boots that I brought with me in my backpack from home. once I was done getting ready I went down stairs to the kitchen to grab an apple to take with them. apple in hand i opened the front door closing it behind me, as I was walking down the porch steps a bright red SUV started climbing up the little hill that our driveway was on. the SUV came to a stop a few feet from the steps I was on, the driver door opened and out came Silas. Silas was wearing his signature leather jacket though this time he was wearing a light grey t-shirt under it, along with one with dark blue jeans and running shoes.
"well good morning there sweetheart, ready for some action?" Silas said as he walked to the passenger door and opened it for me. " morning to you too Silas, and ya I think so." I got into the SUV and Silas closed the door after I was in properly, he then walked around and got into the driver's side. once seated he turned and looked towards me" good cause you'll need to be ready for anything."
" this should be both amusing and interesting." Kit said as he materialized in the back middle seat rubbing his hands together like he was getting ready to give someone a heated slap to the face.
