Kim looked at the time and saw that while she would miss the morning group meeting she instead reached for her old flip phone and called her mother.
“Hello?” inquired her mother
“Mom.” Said Kim as her new voice came out of her mouth. “Sorry if I woke you up.”
“No not at all. I am surprised you sound so different.” Answered her mother
“Well I am different; besides my hair and eye color everything has changed and those should change tomorrow when I get my powers.” Explained Kim
“And how long do you have to stay in there to learn to control your powers?” inquired her mother
“They want at least five days, but I can stay for as long as 10 if needed.” Explained Kim “My mentors will help me with my powers.”
“Good, because Mr. Smith from that studio has offered to come pick you up from the center and take you to start filming your first movie if you should sign with him.” Explained her mother as Kim heart stopped for a moment. “He even offered to pay you upfront.”
“Mom…you know he isn’t from Hollywood, right? You do know this?” inquired Kim as there was a pause.
“I know.” Admitted her mother “I know he makes Adult films but the money would be so much help for all of us at the moment and he says Nymphs crave sex and are immune to STDs.”
Kim felt like exploding and throwing the phone against the wall.
“Mother…” started Kim, she never called her mother anything but mom unless she was very pissed. “That is wrong on so many levels if you had done some basic research into what your own daughter was becoming you would know that Nymphs are guardians of nature not sex demons, those are succubus. While yes I will or am immune now to STDs I don’t crave sex like Succubus. I don’t think I am going to sign with this studio money or not.”
There was a long pause as her mother listened.
“Listen we really need the money, your oldest sister came home with your one year old nephew and she is pregnant again and has no job. Your step-father’s company announced layoffs in the coming year and he fears they will fire him.” Explained her mother with sadness in her voice. “That money would help all of us.”
There was a long pause as Kim listened, her oldest sister was a druggy whore who had run off years ago, they family had only heard of the birth of her nephew from facebook.
“So…you instead of forcing her to find a job and get on her own feet you want me to save all of you on my back?” inquired Kim, her musical voice taking a harden tone “You want your daughter to be a whore of a porn star so that the rest of you can live off her? Is that what you are telling me.”
There was an even longer pause as her mother said nothing.
“Ok then, I’ll talk to you later Mrs. Wills.” Said Kim to her mother using her step father’s last name instead of calling her mother or mom. She shut the phone and held herself a bit as tears began to form in her eyes. She ignored the phone calls which followed and never came out for breakfast or lunch only when a nurse came in to check on her did someone walk in and when she did the nurse thought she was upset about the change and tried to comfort her.
“You look beautiful, like you need to be in the movies beautiful.” Said the nurse unaware that was the last thing to say to her. As Kim pushed the nurse away from her in anger.
In her anger she didn’t even notice until it was too late as two balls of energy formed in each of her hands as she shoved her away. The energy shot forward and slammed into the nurse.
What color is the energy.
