Sweet As Sugar

Chpt 6

Milo winces he must've have taken painkillers yet.
"Milo take painkillers go back to my bedroom and go back to sleep"
"And pretend that you were asleep all along"
Milo goes back to Chloé's room as we walk down the stairs.
We see the person that had passed out walk out the door
They don't look hungover so probably just tiredness.
"Where's Milo?"
We turn around to face Laura.
"He's asleep in my bedroom"
"I'll go wake him up, You guys start cleaning"
We each decided to tackle a room.
I got the kitchen.
As I look around I notice that it looks really easy to clean.
I close the kitchen door and look around to make sure it's just me.
I let my eyes change from blue to white.
Although I've never tried it before I use my powers to clean the kitchen.
I watch in amazement as the solo cups go into the trash the bottles to the sink Which start washing themselves.
I close my eyes and when I open them the kitchen looks like it could be one of those model kitchens on Pinterest.
I let my eyes return to their normal blue and walk out of the kitchen.
Laura looks at me with utter confusion.
"Did you finish cleaning the kitchen?"
"Mhm" I nod aswell as my response.
I walk away to go find Eoghan or Chloé.
"Cassidy"
I turn around again.
"How did you get the kitchen so perfect?"
"You were only in there for five minutes at most"
Well fuck me anyway.
"It wasn't that big of a mess"
Really Cassidy anyone with half descent eyesight would know that the kitchen was possibly the worst room in this house.
I smile hoping it would make her less suspicious.
It fails miserably.
"Are you one of them?"
"I'm sorry I don't understand?"
"EOGHAN GET HERE NOW"
God does this woman ever stop shouting.
Eoghan stands beside me his brow raised quizzically.
"Is she one of your kind?"
What on earth is she talking about.
"What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean Eoghan"
Eoghan and I look at eachother in confusion.
We turn our head to look at Laura with the same confused look.
She grabs our hand and drags us into the kitchen closing the door behind her firmly.
"Is she a demon Eoghan"
Did she forget that I'm here aswell?
"Im not a demon" I reply back which earns a Nasty look from her.
I shut up instantly.
"Then explain how my kitchen is immaculate"
"She was only in here for five minutes at most"
"There's more then one type of supernatural mom and you know that yourself"
"Then what is she"
I cough slightly so that she knows I'm still in the room.
"Well the walls not going to answer the question"
"What are you"
Eoghan and Laura look at me.
"I-I don't know what I am"
"I just have supernatural Powers"
Laura raises her eyebrow sceptically.
"MOM"
"WHAT CHLOÉ"
"UMM ITS BEST IF YOU SEE FOR YOURSELF"
Laura rolls her eyes and walks out of the kitchen.
"Eoghan what does she mean by demon?"
"I'll tell you later Mia Bella"
"But"
"Mia Bella I'll tell you later"
I shut up not wanting to test his patience.
He walks out of the kitchen leaving me puzzled.
I'm taken back to a time many years ago.

"She can't find out!"
"And What if she does?"
Have you ever stood behind a door or behind a wall perhaps listed through the floor boards.
But completely paralysed from what you've heard.
From what your going to hear.
From what your hearing?
Some how they always think that you cant hear like your suddenly deaf to all that they don't want you to hear.
But you hear it somehow sitting there hearing their shouts their voices.
Yet somehow it's oddly silent.
And suddenly your the only person.
Well you and your thoughts.

No?
Lucky you.
"Cass?"
"Cassidy?"
"Huh?"
Oh it's just Chloé.
"You ok?"
"Yeah-"
"Yeah I'm great"
"Why you asking?"
"You were kinda lost in your own world Cass"
I nod and walk away.
I know it's horribly rude but I'm not ready to face more questions.
My feet are moving my thoughts numb.
I'm swallowed up by the past again.
I sit down on a rock as my head starts spinning.

"SHE CANT KNOW"
"AND WHAT HAPPENS IF SHE FINDS OUT"
I finally muster up the courage to confront them.
"What about if she already knows?"
They turn to face me.
One with a pure look of horror and perhaps sadness.
The other Nothing but disgust.
"How?"
I turn around and walk back out the door.
That same numb isolating feeling taking over me.
That same fake smile.
I walk to my room.
Their shouts only getting louder and louder.
Drowning me.
I look in my mirror.
I finally see why they had a look of disgust.
My mind begins racing.
"Cassidy you mustn't tell your father about this"
"Why not?"
"DONT make me repeat myself Cassidy"
"He should kno-"
A searing pain spreads across my cheek as I instinctively move my hand over it.
The tears begin spilling.
Tumbling down my face.
My lip quivers.
"OUT"
"B-B-bbut"
"OUT NOW"
I run blindly as the tears cascade down my face.
I'm brought back to reality by the stinging pain and shattered glass.
I stand in shock looking and the beautiful mirror that I just destroyed.
I look at my hand blood dripping and bits of glass sticking out of it.
I don't even notice everyone looking at me.
I don't notice Eoghan holding me in his arms.
As the tears continue to cascade down my face I decide.

I've chosen flight all my life
Nows the time to fight.
