Prologue

'Dear Secret Diary,
It is me, Kane Gray. I am moving around a lot with my mother and father because of the strange gifts that my mother says I have, but my father is always hiding them away and only saying "it is for my sake" But, what is this gift and is it really a curse? I see so many people act kind to my father and look oddly to mother for some reason.
Sorry Diary, I will write again soon.'

Shutting the book's cover gently and tracing the leather cover, before turning to my mother who had deep blue eyes and a slight smile that seemed worn from stress and tried for too long. I could not believe how stress could take so much out of a single being, from being beautiful to being worn out and stressed to a point they might break at the slightest pressure.

"Sweetie... Could you please show me your precious gift? You should know its wonderful." mother pleas, slowly coming into my room towards the soft, blockie chair with no back to sit on. I nod with a slight smile, as I grab a ruler and with ease molded it into a flower blooming and gave the metal petals a smooth and thin feel, making them dull, not sharp at the touch. I could always make material things change and bend to my will, like glass or different metals to be a weapon or a beautiful souvenir.

I gave mother the metal flower and she held it close, gently tapping one of the metal petals against her chin, before speaking again "Your father and I been thinking of sending you to a school around here, it is accepting of both powered and non-powered people, although you need to know... It may be scary." I looked at my mother for a few moments, letting the idea sink in before I felt a burst of joy fill my very being, I launched myself from my bed to her body and hugged her.

Only for father to enter and come across, most of my body on the wood floor besides for my head and arms wrapped around mother's waist.
"I guess your mother already told you?" He asks with a small smile coming across his face, and his dark eyes seemed to gleam slightly. I could only nod into my mother, but slowly got up and looked towards my father. My father had dark hair and was tan from working outside in his careers, while also having a lean frame, making you think he never worked in heavy items. From my mother who had strands of black hair hanging in her face, and her skin was pale from little sun, but she seemed to not mind working away from the sun.

"Kane, you will be seeing the school in a few days and attending it a little after... So, we will help prepare you." my parent's spoke quickly before letting me go completely. I entered the living room and kitchen, which was two rooms in one, the kitchen was old, but it functioned rather well for any family. While the living room was more or less a place to just be together and talk, because it is apparent that anyone associated with the other side of a human is treated not as well.

"Mother says people call anyone with powers 'Mutants', but Why do they call us that? We are just like anyone, human and dealing with issues..." I spoke to myself, puzzled over the situation I ended up in unintentionally, just by being a supposed 'Mutant'. I shook my head, than headed outside and looked into the bright sunny sky, now I saw how everyone in my neighborhood thought of my family as foreign or freaky in their kindness towards all people.

"It all makes sense now... But, are mutants really that different?" I ask, only to go back inside my home and bring in a metal nail to mold and smooth into a heart-shaped touch and almost feel like a stone, but is not. 'No one can tell stones from metals at times, so these things can work.' thoughts gave off to make me smile at nothing in particular.

Mother, Father and I all headed off to the mall in search of any school necessity possible. I grabbed a backpack with many hidden compartments in it to hide my masterpieces, along with my phone which I morphed into a butterfly shape with light blue as the phone's beginning color. Mother was with father trying to pay while I looked around for anything that may be needed.

Once I found a strange marble with a multitude of colors, it made me think 'Maybe this can make my projects different colored?' I wondered and slowly headed towards my parents to over hear conversation. It made part of me try to get closer to listen to what is going on with the adults.

"Honey, why don't you find Kane and I take care of this, okay?" Father suggests, only for mother to shake her head with anger and say with a weak voice, "No, I will do this, I am capable of at least paying for our daughter's school supplies." she spoke before starting to wipe her eyes of stray tears and leave. I stood up at the sudden approach and started towards mother to show her the colorful marble.

"Mother, could I get this? The colors are so beautiful..." I spoke trying to sound enthusiastic, without making her suspicious. father seemed tense from the situation, but quickly relaxed when I came to his view. "My daughter would like this marble, okay?" He asks the cashier, only to be looked at weird, than the person turned towards me with a hard expression, but seemed to nod slightly and sell it to me.

'Dear secret Diary,
Today was rather interesting and weird to think about... Have you ever felt like your judged without knowing you were?
That whatever you try to do, there is no change and your going to be viewed differently?
Well, Mother and I are the ones who are viewed oddly, while father is seen more as an associate, than just like me and mother... What is mother's gift? Does father feel sad about his position in being judged? Or does father want to be like the others and treat me and mother as the odd ones?
There is a lot to think over and some to forget, write in you again soon, Diary.'
