How it all began

Chapter One

6 years later...
Ivy's pov
      
          ... I remembered those words I'm sorry as I looked out the window. The breeze blew my hair as my Aunt drove down the road. I could see a scar beside my  right eye on the side mirror. I quickly arranged my hair so that the scar could be covered. That scar only reminds me of the explosion that killed my parents six years ago.
 
          "Ivy!" Aunt Emma called out. "You don't have to cover it it's not that bad. Most scars are beautiful, yours is no except..." Not this again. "At least be happy,  we are moving to another city. Things will be different. Come on baby girl, cheer up."
         "I guess ."

     After the explosion, Aunt Emma took me to the hospital. I still can't believe I stay at the hospital in a coma for three years. After waking up, the doctor informed Aunt Emma that nothing's wrong with me, that's so weird!
        
        "We're here." I didn't even noticed that we've stop moving. We got inside the house and began to arrange a couple of things. I took my time in my so called new room because it needs attention. After arranging my room to my taste, I went to check on Aunt Emma. She was sleeping on the sofa, she did seem tired when we got here so I guess it is justifiable that she gets some rest. Wait...! Now that she's sleeping it's my chance to step out. After the coma, I barely got chances to step out on my own. Turns out that Aunt Emma became super protective of me , still don't know why ,but I'm getting close. I decided to check out the neighborhood...

Aunt's Emma POV
  ... As I was driving down the road I looked at Ivy who seemed  a bit worried.
I told her some words that could help her calm down a bit.
    She's been depressed ever since she found out her parents died. I know she's got questions, like what happened to her parents? Or what we're they doing in the lab? I will disclose everything relevant in due time. I stopped the car because we've reached our destination
     "We're here."
      We got inside  and arranged a couple of things. I was  so tired. Who knew moving again we be so stressful? I decided to take a nap on the sofa downstairs. I didn't even know when Ivy stepped out. When I woke up I didn't see her, I just hope nothing bad has happened to her. Why did she go out without my permission? I got up from the sofa and went to the door when it opened...

Ivy's POV
 
       ... As I stepped out, I felt a little eased, being couped up most of my life is so uncomfortable. Still recalling  those words my mom said before the explosion happened, did she really mean it? Was she sorry for all the times that they both let me down? For all those times they were not around when I needed them the most? I still don't know what they were doing in that damn lab and now they are gone. I soon noticed that I was in a dark alley. When did I get here? Suddenly, I heard footsteps. I think I've been followed. I quickly hid behind some big trash cans . I peeped and I saw a creepy man. He wore a huge coat with a hat on his head. He also wore shades. What's with the look?

      "She's gone."he said and then turned around to see if he could spot me. Was he actually following me? Why's that? "Or preharps hiding?"
     
         He moved towards my direction. What do I do?! If I move there would be consequences. I'm scared. I just hope he doesn't check again. Then suddenly he's footsteps stopped. I wanted to sigh out of relief thinking he changed his mind when suddenly, he checked. 
I was staring directly at him and my heart began to beat faster. I've been caught... I thought I was doomed, but he seemed confused
        "I'll check the other alley." I waited until I didn't hear his footsteps anymore before I sighed. So wait... He didn't see me?! What the hell is going on? Am I invisible?! I looked at my hand and it seemed pretty visible to me. I think I see why Aunt Emma barely allows me to go out because some weird shit happens. Or I'm crazy? I need to live this alley right now. Good thing I'm not too far from home. When I got home , I was still trembling because of fright. I met a worried  Aunt Emma at the door
    
       "Where have you been young lady?"
        "You can see me."
         "Yes I can see you and why are you breathing like that?"
         "It's nothing."
        She rose an eyebrow " you should not go round places you're not aware of and without my permission. You know how I feel about your protection."
          "I'm sorry it won't happen again." I said and saton the sofa trying to relax
           "I've got some news for you."
            "What's that?"
           "You are going to be attending a new school from next week."
            "Name please?"
          "Greenville High School."
       "At least I'll get to meet new people."
        "People you should be wary of." Here she goes again. I think she noticed my gloomy face because she changed the subject. "You seem tired, you need rest." I ran upstairs without looking back and laid on my bed when I got in my room. OMG! I forgot to Inform Aunt Emma about what transpired at the dark alley. On second thoughts, I think it's for the best. If she knew about it she'll be more over protective and I don't want that . I better keep this to myself, if things get worse I'll just come clean...
