In the Hallway Michael listened but said nothing. He’d made no pledge, not formally at least. But it was difficult to explain the unaging part. I the ?four hundreds? He’d been chased from a village as a Vampyre. Fools. Plus watching someone you loved age wither and die was hard on a man, do it four or five times and you stopped caring as much.
He'd had women over the years, he’d even thought about telling them, but after decades turned to centuries and now he was into his second millennium, he’d stopped. Now it had been 100 years since he’d last enjoyed a conversation not business or Order related.
Alaina watched the ‘blind’ lady, who seemed to move around better than any blind lady on the streets, even Blind Lucy - and she had twenty-twenty vision, but her doggie was sweet.
"You have an amazing set of power, Aliana. Unfortunately, they were far too strong for you to control and it took us a long time to find you. But, with that seal in place, you'll be able to start to learn to control those powers. As you gain more control, it'll fade and eventually when you are ready, it was disappear entirely, unleashing your full power again. We hope to only make sure you don't lose yourself before you learn the proper way to use your powers."
“Powers. So that makes you Professor X, him Colossus, and me Crazy Alaina that lady that hears voices? I’ve heard a lot of Doctors over the years, and that sounds more waked than any of them have ever sounded. I had on that called in a priest and they said I was possessed. The voices told me all the things he’d done, sounded to me like he was possessed.”
“Is this a cat house? Are you a pimp? I don’t do that stuff, so you can forget it. Never have never will.” It’s not like she was totally innocent. She’d seen naked guys and girls, it was everywhere these days, she’d even given a guy a hand job, he was hell gorgeous and she liked him. Until she he’d missed her meds and knew everything he’d ever done. And the things his family and neighbors did, and running home the voices got louder and louder.
She’d gotten kicked out of that foster house after she punched the ‘father’ in the face, and beat the crap out of him because of the voices. It’s like she could hear people confessing their sins an shouting their thoughts at her.
