never been very supportive of our powers.
‘Cancer!’ Derek hissed.
Shooting under the cars, I made my way towards the end of the car park. Sliding up onto the pavement, I darted into the nearest shop. Moving to the changing rooms, I found a cubicle and transformed back to my normal self. In my mind’s eye, I saw my body as whole again and somehow my physical form returned.
My reflection stared back at me. Maybe I was being a little rash. The others would be scared of what would happen to me. I wasn’t sure why they were so worried. I felt safe. Nothing made me feel uneasy, which meant I would be okay.
The longer I stared at my reflection, the more it changed. It was as if my hair grew shorter. Moving into a short blonde bob. It was styled in a very old fashioned way. My clothes morphed into a wartime outfit. I tried to remember a memory that was on the edge of my mind. I couldn’t quite grasp it.
‘Is there anybody in here?’ It was Virgo.
How the hell had she found me? I had only been missing for two seconds but she had managed to track me down. I blinked and the image of the wartime girl was gone.
‘Can you please go away?’ I called.
The curtain was thrown back. Virgo stood with her hands on her hips. I shrugged when she glared at me.
‘What can I say? I needed some space. I still need some space.’
Virgo reached out and wrapped her small hand around my arm. I instantly pictured myself as water, allowing the fluidity of myself to move into liquid. When I landed on the wooden floor, I didn’t move or run away. I was proving a point.
‘Will you pack it in?’ Virgo lifted her foot to step on me. I pulled back, just in time. ‘Oh, you want to play like that, do you?’
I couldn’t feel too much emotion in my current form, yet I knew exactly what Virgo was about to do. Pulling on my strength, I transformed back into myself before her foot could hit the ground beneath me.
‘Stop running away. You know what Father said about surrender. Why are you running away from us?’ She had her arms held out to the side.
My stomach twisted. She was right. I had longed for my siblings and here they were. Two of them had travelled to see me. They might pretend to want a holiday, although they probably did, but they had come to make sure that I was okay. Maybe it was time to be grateful.
‘I’m sorry. I don’t know how to communicate with him. I thought that it would be amazing if we were able to be together. I didn’t think there would be any problems.’
Virgo put her hands on her hips. ‘Have you actually sat down and tried to have a proper conversation? Not fighting or talking about the divorce, but discussing the pair of you together?’
Biting the corner of my lip, I shook my head. Although we had spoken in the hotel room on the very first day, we hadn’t tried to work anything out since moving into our new home. The court date for Matt’s divorce was in three days’ time. I didn’t know whether he was going back or not. It felt like he was keeping it secret. But I hadn’t even asked him.
Fiddling with the end of my hair, I stepped towards Virgo. She backed away from me quickly, which made me smile. Maybe she thought I was about to burst out crying. I wouldn’t, I pulled myself together. The most important thing on my mind was to buy clothes. Going past her, I went into the shop and started to search the rails.
‘I can’t believe you just did that,’ Derek whispered in my ear.
I jumped as I spun towards him. His breath had hit my ear, making me shiver. His tall frame towered above me. Not like Leo and the others but still tall enough to make me nervous.
‘Don’t do that,’ I snapped, turning back to the rail and picking out a pale blue top.
Derek’s hand wrapped around mine where it held the hanger. ‘If I am going to protect you, you cannot do that again.’
I glared up at him, shaking my arm to get him to let go. He reluctantly pulled away, glaring at me before he turned and
