Chapter 54 - I Have Superpowers

No this can't be I don't want any of them. It's just a theory besides it wasn't a bit, they are just bruises and nothing else. They will soon heal and I will be fine. I comforted myself as I force myself to sleep when my mum opened the door.

She left when she realized I was fast asleep. Days later.

Roland has been working so hard on finding the cure. My mum called me one evening from one of her long trips, she was so excited when she told me she had found the cure, she couldn't wait to come back home.

"Your dad's finally made it Nancy. His efforts didn't go in vain" she whimpered over the phone with a hint of joy and saddest in her voice.

Well, it seems it was a little bit too late. I didn't feel any pain and the bruise on my legs and back disappeared without leaving a trace. All the red patches on my skin all went away.

I was relieved and happy. Finally, I was getting better but on the other hand, my body was undergoing serious transformation. I couldn't control my anger and cravings. I've been having strong cravings for fresh animals the thought of it makes me sick.

The thing is I'm turning into a monster and I don't know who to talk to. My two best friends wouldn't want to be close to a monster.

"Nancy why you so quiet?" Betty asked bringing my senses back. I was getting bored with my daily life routine. I didn't respond neither did I look at her. I sniffed and muttered "nothing" as humanly possible. I'm still human after all or I'm trying not to forget.

"What are you hiding from us?"

"Is everything okay? Ever since you were kidnapped, you've been so quiet"

"Talk to us, what happened to you?' Roland and Betty won't stop asking questions.

"I SAID NOTHING!"

"Don't you get it, leave me alone" I yelled. Betty and Roland were frightened so was everyone that was close by.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to yell. I-I need to be alone" muttered running from there.

I can't control my anger lately, I always get angry at a trivia thing and it scares me. What is happening to me?

I can smell anything from afar like I'm developing some kind of superpowers. I'm just hoping I'm not turning into something, I can't face, something I'm not ready for.

"Nancy, why have you been hiding from me?" Baby rumbles as I run into him.

"Geez, you almost gave me a heart attack" I huffed trying to catch a breath.

"Who said I've been hiding? I'm not, I just want to be alone, and don't worry I'm fine now. My mum found the cure" I shrug, looking everywhere else except his eyes.

"You mean the poison is all cleared now? When?" Baby questioned.

"Not yet, my mum will return home today with it, she said they might still be some traces left even when I take the antidote, it's not that bad, I'll survive it" I whispered.

"Are you sure nothing is bothering you?" he wasn't convinced.

"I said nothing is bothering me! Why can't everybody just leave me alone?" I holler.

"Alright, easy Nancy I was just worried about you" Baby growls.

"I can take care of myself ok so just back off!" I howl.

"Ow," I felt a sharp knock behind my head making me pass out almost immediately.

MONTHS LATER

I was running very fast in the woods, the expanse of trees ahead of me was never-ending. Or probably I thought so. The canopies provided a slight glimpse into the weather which turned the shade of green to even whiter.

The touch of wind on my skin made me feel so good. I could never get tired of this feeling. The smell of the fresh leaves rustling, the sound of branches creaking.

Also, occasional squirrels chattering, wind whistling around disturbing the leaves, birds singing and insects humming has always been a sight to behold.

I can run faster than an average human being, there was a power radiated in the woods which the most discerning creatures alone could feel.

I took a sharp turn when I heard the voice of people coming from the woods, I slow down and starts to walk.

"See who we have here"

"It's Baby's little toy," a voice said.

Initially, the plan was to just walk away like the old scared, weak Nancy.

I bow my head and walk past them.

"Are just going to walk away? Prove to them you're strong enough?" I ignore the voice in my head.

"Walk away, let them pick on you like they always do" my inner demon chuckles.

"So you are leaving? Come on show them just how strong you are" my inner demon roars

"Don't mind her, just walk away. You don't want everybody to know you have superpowers now or whatever this is? They will believe you a monster"

"I say just walk away" well I plan to listen to my angel but unfortunately my demon was stronger than my angel. I stopped and shifty my turn to face them.

"What did you guys just say?" I asked walking towards them. Roses and Lydia were most shocked by my question more like my guts.

"I said you are Baby's playing toy, who thinks she's special. By the way, Alina is still Baby's mate and you're nothing just a substitute" Roses hissed.

"Do you always bubble rubbish each time you open that mouth of your?" I scoff.

"What did you say? You didn't just call us rubbish?" Lydia roars.

"Well I was referring to just you but I think it suits the 3 of you very well, oh yes and the rejected mate" I smirk folding my hands around my chest as Alina folds her fist.

"Alina, are you going to watch her call you names?" Roses mumbled looking at Alina.

"How dare you call Alina, the rejected mate?" Lydia hollers.

"What is she then?" I growl.

"She's still Baby's mate and he hasn't rejected her yet," Roses said angrily.

"It's just a matter of time before he does" I wink adding more fuel to the fire. Alina is about to explode with anger while my inner demon rejoices over its victory.

"I think I've had enough of you" Alina howls.

"So have I? What are you going to do huh?" I said looking at Alina still fuming in rage.

"I'm still Baby's mate and the future Luna of the pack" Alina howls landing a pouch on my face.

"Ow," I groan and start laughing.

"Mate? Luna" I chuckled.. "Is that all you can do?" I said annoyingly making her more furious than she already was.
