Chapter 4: CH.4 Growing Pains
Time went by fast soon enough I became two years old, growing up was interesting to say the least. Not many would get the opportunity that I've been given, and I would tell them they are lucky.
Being a baby sucks although it did have sometimes that were good but for the most part its boring as hell, my mom would try to make play with children's toys or even talk to me like parents talk to their babies.
The only solace I had was when I was alone where I could play with the liquid from my pit, on the note of the liquid the pit has gotten bigger, and the liquid has gotten darker which I guess is good, but I really don't know.
I've been doing what I've done since the womb constantly sending the liquid to my body and because of that I was able to stand at this age, my mother was happy when I took my first step, she smiled and hugged me, I almost felt something for a moment, but it died out fast.
One thing that I found out is that I can use the liquid to control shadows, you see around a month ago I woke up in the middle of the day with the sun being shine on me, now one thing that I've develop in this new life is a love for darkness and a hatred for the sun. which is why I wanted to make the curtain cover the window but I was a baby and I sure wasn't going to cry about it, so I just started at the curtains thinking about how I want to move them till eventually I felt a pulling felling in my guts and a hand came out of the shadows nearby and closed the curtains.
Its was a fact to say I was surprised but I quickly figured out it was because of the liquid inside my pit, which right now was all empty. I though about it and the remembered that the god said my affinity was darkness which would explain on why I could control it.
So now I had another way to use the liquid which I need to think of another name for other than liquid, I soon once again fell into a cycle with me waking up in the morning supplying my body with liquid and then I started practicing my control over the darkness.
And soon a year went by and right now I was sitting Infront of a table with my mother trying to get me to talk. Because I haven't said a word since I was born, she was of course worried but after we went to the hospital where it was learned that I could talk but just dint want to she's been trying to get me to speak.
Oh right I guess I should introduce my mother her name is Venessa Michaels single mother with no family, she works as a graphic designer which gives her a lot of free time, if you're wondering about her family her father died when she was twenty, her family as you could guess was a martial arts family being focused on swords and karate which she happens to be a master at both I should know I've seen her training.
"Say mommy" Venessa said to me with a smile while I just stared at her.
"Come one Adrian say mommy for me" Venessa said but I just kept staring which then made her said.
I kind of felt bad for her just because I dint care shouldn't mean I hate this woman after all she was better than my previous mother, she wouldn't pay me any attention no matter what.
"Mother" I said with my blank look.
As soon as I said that she looked up and her face lit up "you said you're first words, I'm so proud of you Adrian" she said and then hugged me, I wont lie it felt nice to be told that for the first time.
"Now say mommy" Venessa said to me and just like that the felling died out and I went back to how I was a moment ago.
Life went on and I continued my routine and I've notice a few things, one my pit grows with my body or when I exercise it to grow, two It gets harder to control the darkness when I'm in a sunny place but because I've been forcing myself to do it its getting easier bit by bit as I go on, three I can see ghost and they are attracted to me this was proven by the amount of ghost that used to be right by me, four I can touch ghost and banish them which I did to every ghost that came by but it does take a lot of energy out of me, five I can turn inviable but its harder in the day I found out how to do this when I covered myself in darkness in one night and Venessa came to check on me something she did because I didn't make any sound, but she couldn't find me because I blended with the darkness, six I can teleport to with shadows, when blending with the darkness I tried moving through it and found out I can teleport but it takes a lot out of me the farther that I go.
Overall, my new life is good Venessa is teaching me, so I don't have to go to school which is a plus in my books because I like being alone even though Venessa tries to make play with other children I refused I liked being alone.
Soon enough I had turned four and today was my birthday and I blew out my cake that Venessa made.
"Happy birthday my little warrior, now I dint know what you wanted so just tell mama and I get it for you" Venessa said with a smile.
I thought about for little while and finally came up with an answer "teach me how to fight like you do" I said with my monotone voice.
"Aww does my little baby want to be like mama" she said smiling and looking at me.
"I just want to learn how to defend myself" I said.
"Sure, say that but I know the real reason" she said and hugged me.
Honestly, I don't get how she could be this optimistic, but it might be why I tolerate her, she reminds me of my old self.
"Aright baby starting tomorrow momma going to start training you, right now let's celebrate" she said after hugging.
With that the night went on.
