Belle

Belle is the name of a young woman with a dangerous weapon but you can�t tell by looking at her. She is very lovely with her hair so black its� blue and eyes of such a pure blue they seem bottomless. Her figure is curvy yet not too curvy. She is tall yet not too tall. Her voice is clear as a bell and her singing voice can send you into realms you can�t reach on your own. She is not like most humans; in fact most humans avoid her. There are some humans who love to be around her, but not many. Belle�s story is very strange; it starts when she�s nothing more then a teen. Try to learn from Belle�s story.
In a quiet house in a quiet town lives a young woman who is not quite normal. Her parents named her Catherine when she was born. She grew like all kids grow. And soon she became a teenager. Her parents knew she would be special from the time she was born. As a child her singing voice was clear as a bell. Her parents didn�t do the whole childhood fame thing with her, so she got to be a normal kid. She was happy for the most part, but she felt something was wrong or missing. She had no idea her voice would change. She wasn�t someone you would think of as dangerous. She loved to sing, and often sang alone in the woods.

She was singing in the woods when it happened. She destroyed a huge rock in front of her without knowing why or how. She stopped singing as soon as it happened. She spoke out loud to herself to try to figure out what was going on. Every time one of her words sounded musical something in front of her was destroyed. She stopped talking and ran home very near tears.

She was afraid to tell her parents about what happened because she didn�t know how they would react. They had heard stories on the news about people who could do things normal people couldn�t and her parents didn�t like it. She knew for a fact her father didn�t like it but she didn�t know about her mother.

She didn�t know she had an uncle on her mother�s side who was like that. Her mother never talked about him because of her father. Her mother knew her daughter might be like her uncle and so she kept a very close eye on her. She often followed her into the woods and she followed her daughter on that fateful day. She knew what was wrong with her daughter but she couldn�t tell her. So she did what she could, she called her brother. She told her husband their daughter had a sore throat. That solved the problem of talking and singing very nicely.

Her father was good man but he just didn�t like people who were mutants. He had no idea his brother-in-law was a mutant. He had no idea there was a very good chance his daughter would be a mutant. So when his wife told him his little angel had a sore throat he saw nothing wrong with it. He told his wife if it didn�t clear up in a week or two, he was going to take her to the doctor.

His daughter had heard the lie her mother had told him and wondered why her mother lied to him. Her mother saw her on the stairs and told her she would come up and talk to her in just a little bit. And she was true to her word, in just a little bit she came up to talk to her daughter. She had to explain to her daughter just why she wasn�t quite normal.

�Sweetheart, would you set down on your bed? I need to tell you something.� her mother said calmly. �You know what happened in the woods today, I thought something might happen like this. I already called your uncle and he is going to pick you up and take care of you until you can control this. Your uncle can help you with this because he is a mutant, just like you are. He and I both knew there was a good chance you would take after him and so he stayed near by. If he can�t help you through this then he might know someone who can.�

Catherine had no clue her father was by her door. He was shocked when he heard what her mother told her. He wondered why she had never told him, but then he thought about what he had said about those who were mutants. What he had said lead his wife and daughter to believe he hated those who were mutants when in fact he pitied them. He knew there was no way they would ever have an easy life. They would be feared and hated wherever they went.

* * * * *
Catherine�s uncle lived in the next town. He was out when his sister called, but she knew he would come. When he got home he saw he had a message. It turned out to be from his sister. It had been a while since he had heard from her so he thought he would hear what she had to say while he put up the food he bought. �Logan, I need to tell you something. You know how I�m normal but we always believed my daughter might not be. Well, she�s not. She likes to sing alone in the woods, which is a good thing, because her power surfaced today. She can destroy anything she�s looking while she�s singing. Her father doesn�t know and I don�t want to tell him. I don�t know why but he doesn�t like mutants. She�ll be getting out of school in two or three days for the summer and I thought it would be best if she stayed with you until she learned how to control this. I believe you are the best person to help her and I know if you can�t then you know someone who can. Look, come stay with us. I�ll tell you more when you get here. Bye,� her voice said on the machine.

�Sis, you really know how to turn a guys� world up side down. Looks like I better start packing. Shoot, what about the food I just bought? I know! There is a family who needs this food more then I do, I�ll give it to them.� he said as he started putting things back into their bags. He left a few things out for breakfast, but other then that everything was going to this family. He put the food into his car and drove to the family�s house to give them the food. He rang the doorbell hoping someone was home.

�Can I help you, Logan?� the woman of the house said.

�Yes, you can help me get all this food inside because I�m going out of town tomorrow and I don�t need it. I wondered what I was going to do with all this food then I remembered your family. I hope you don�t mind.� he said as he gave her some sacks to carry in.

�I don�t mind at all. This food will give us several meals, thank you Logan. I didn�t know what I was going to feed the children tonight. John will be home soon and will want a hot meal. This way I can feed my family for several days. It should hold us until he gets paid.� she said happily.

�No problem, why don�t you get some churches to help you out with food. Then you don�t have to worry about what you are going to feed your husband and children. It would be better then some things I can name.� Logan said as they finished carrying things in just as her husband pulled into the drive.

�Honey I�m home. What are you doing standing outside without your shoes on dear?� he asked as he got out of his car.

�Darling, Logan brought us some food to help hold us over until you get paid. He bought it for himself but he is going out of town tomorrow so he gave it to us.� she said as she ran to his side.

�Thank you Logan. I don�t know what we would do without your help. My wife and I can get the bills paid on time but we have trouble getting enough food to last from paycheck to paycheck. I wonder if there is any way to solve this problem?� he said as Logan got a thought full look on his face.

�You are good with your hands, are you not?� Logan asked, as the man looked puzzled.

�Yes, I�m very good with my hands. With the right type of wood I can make just about anything.� he said as his face brightened.

�Well, I know of a church that needs a little bit of help with its woodwork. They will pay you very well for your work and I believe they will let you work in the evenings. I don�t think they�ll mind if you bring your family along.� Logan said with a smile.

�Where is this church? I will talk to the church people about their woodwork.� he said as a huge smile appeared on his face.

�Here, talk to them as soon as you can. They really need something done with their woodwork.� Logan said as he handed him a piece of paper with an address on it.

�I will Logan. Thanks, you may have solved our food problem.� he said as Logan got in his car.

�No problem, bye,� Logan said as he drove off. He loved helping other people. Now he had to help his niece. He wondered what she was like.

* * * * *
�Catherine, I will drive you to school today. I need to tell your teachers you have a sore throat.� her mother said as she came down the stairs.

She just nodded. She knew she might never be able to say another word for the rest of her life because of what happened. There was just no way to tell her mother.

Catherine�s teacher�s had no problem with what her mother told them. It really didn�t matter with some of her teachers, like her first hour, second hour, and third hour. But her fourth hour had a problem, so did her fifth and sixth. They were temped to make her speak anyway but they didn�t.

Her sixth hour teacher was her music teacher. He had hoped to hear her sing before the school year was out. He loved to hear her sing and her singing always put him in such a wonderful mood. There were times he wished the rest of her class would sound like she did when she sang alone. But they didn�t and she had sore throat. For her class passed slowly, she wanted to sing but she didn�t dare.

�Class; remember tomorrow is the last of school. Be good and try not to get into any trouble. Class is over for today.� he said with a sigh.

Catherine left the room in a rush. She hoped her father would be the one picking her up. When she got to the front of the school her uncle was waiting for her.

�Hey Kitty Cat, want a ride home?� he asked with a smile. He knew she loved to ride in his car.

She just rushed to get her hug from him. Then she got into his car. She wondered if he would ever let her drive it.

�Let�s go Kitty Cat. Your mom said you have two or three days of school left on my machine last night. So how many days do you have left?� he asked looking at her. She just held up a single finger. He nodded his head, wondering what her power was.

He drove her home quickly and soon he was pulling into her driveway. As soon as the car stopped she jumped out of the car and ran up the steps. She wanted to let her parents know her uncle was here.

�I know angel, your mother told me he was coming last night and he called earlier to let me know he was going to pick you up after school. I know how much you love his car so I said okay.� her father said with a huge smile.

�So Kitty Cat, why don�t you go on up stairs and check to make sure your things are ready for school tomorrow.� her uncle said with a smile. He wanted to talk to her father alone.

Catherine just smiled and ran up stairs. She knew her uncle just wanted to talk to her father. She found her mother and pulled her to the top of the stairs so she could see her brother.

�Logan, I had no idea you were here. Catherine just pulled me to the top of the stairs. Why didn�t you tell me?� she said with a smile.

�Sis, we have to tell him. He has every right to know. I would like to know if it was my child.� Logan said calmly.

�I know, I just don�t know how he will take it.� she said softly.

�Look, I�m a mutant. I can heal faster then normal. This also means I will live longer. My sister and I always knew there was a chance her children would be like me, mutants. Your daughter is a mutant. I have no idea what she can do but I have a feeling whatever it is, is linked to her voice. She didn�t say one thing to me in the car and normally she asks me more questions then I can answer.� Logan said quickly. �My sister wants me to take care of Catherine until she can control her power. I believe this is the best thing for her and have agreed to do it.�

�I just learned about your being a mutant last night and the fact is I don�t hate your kind, I pity them. They are being treated worse then blacks were treated and some still are. I agree it is best for her to stay with you until her powers are under control. Her mother and I would like to visit her as often as possible and to write to her. I would like to know just what her power is however.� he said as Logan nodded.

�Her power is tied into her voice just like you thought Logan. When she sings she can destroy anything she wants. She ran home close to tears yesterday when her power surfaced. The thing is she may never get to say another word again. Her power works with music and you know some of her words sound musical.� her mother said softly. Her husband and Logan were shocked. Such a great power for such a wonderful creature, there was no way this was normal even for mutants. Logan didn�t understand just how this sort of power just happened to be in a creature so sweet didn�t make a great deal of sense.

�How can my daughter have that sort of power? It doesn�t make a great deal of sense.� he said softly. He was in shock.

�It might make sense in a few moments. Every single creature on this planet has a way of protecting itself. Those who are mutants have powers to protect them and your daughter�s power is strange even among our kind. I believe your daughter will need this power later on in life for some strange reason. I hope I�m wrong, but somehow I have a feeling I�m not.� Logan said unhappily. He didn�t like the power his niece got.

�How long will you be staying, Logan?� his sister asked quickly.

�A few days, I don�t think it would be wise to stay here for long once she gets out of school. The only way she can control her power is not to talk and it�s not fair on her. We will stay for a few days then I�ll take her up to my cabin. There is a nice little town near by where she can go to school. I can tell the people in charge there is a problem with her voice so she doesn�t have to talk while she is in school. The kids may tease her about it, but at least the school will stay in one piece.� Logan said with a slight frown. He would have to sell his house in the next town. He wouldn�t be going back there again.

The next day passed quickly Catherine got through the day without anyone asking questions for which she had no answers. Her parents and uncle were talking about things like writing letters, addresses, schools, homes ect. it didn�t make a great deal of sense to her. When she got home that day she went up to her room to start packing her stuff. Her uncle told her they were going to live in his cabin in the mountains.

She was going to a new school where no one knew her, so there would be less trouble for her while she learned how to control her power. She believed she would like her new home. There was a huge forest around it and she could enter the forest at any given time during the day. She would just have to let her uncle know. She hoped she would make new friends quickly and her uncle told her she could have a dog.

She would glad have a good friend to take on her walks through the forest around her uncle�s cabin. She could just picture all the trees, animals, and plants she would see. A smile lit her face as she thought about the forest.

�Kitty Cat, time to eat.� her uncle called up to her. He seemed to know she was thinking about something else.

She looked up at him, her checks tinged with pink because she had been caught thinking about things when she should be packing. She could get back to packing after she ate. Then again, she just might start thinking about the forest around her uncle�s cabin again. When she got to the table her mother took one look at her and knew what she had been doing.

�Sweetheart, I know you can�t wait to explore the forest around your uncle�s cabin. But you can�t do it if you don�t get packed so why don�t you try to keep your mind on packing and you can go to sleep thinking about the forest.� her mother said with a smile.

�I don�t think packing will be a problem. I�ll help her pack her things. I would like to clear out of here in four days, if possible.� Logan said with a smile at the look of pleasure on Catherine�s face.

�I think I should help as well. With the three of us in there packing things should go pretty quickly. I don�t think it will take long for us to pack once we get started. What we don�t finish tonight, we can get tomorrow. Once we�re done she can spend some time in the forest. You can leave the next day.� he said without looking at his wife.

�Hon, there will be four of us in there just as soon as I finish the dishes. I believe we will get everything packed tonight.� she said with a smile at the shocked look on her husband�s face.

Catherine was pleased her parents were taking this well. She didn�t know what she would do if they didn�t. She didn�t know if she could stay here and learn to control her power with people asking her to sing all the time.

Once dinner was finished, they went back upstairs to help her back. There was no way she would think about the forest around her uncle�s cabin with all of them here with her. It didn�t take long at all for them to get most of her things packed. Her parents and uncle agreed it would be best to get as much of her stuff to his cabin as quickly as possible. Most of what she was taking was clothing and bedding. She didn�t have a great deal of stuff to put on walls or shelves.

The next day they learned Logan had a few things to do back at his house in the next town so he left. He wanted to put his house on the market so he could get rid of it. He knew of a family who would like it but he didn�t know if they could afford it. He needed to talk to them.

After school the next day Catherine went into the forest so she could be alone. She would have liked to sing but didn�t think she really should. So she sat under a big tree and let the day pass peacefully.

Her parents were talking when she got home. She really didn�t want to know what they were talking about so she went up to her room and got her sketchpad out. She started making sketches of the forest and she didn�t feel they were too bad. She was still sketching when her father called her for dinner.

�Angel, your mother and I were thinking about getting you some new pencils and sketchpads. We believe you will need them because of what happened. We know how much you need an outlet for your feelings. We were thinking about an instrument of some kind but we don�t know about that any more. We don�t know if your power would work through an instrument as well as your voice.� her father said with a sad smile.

�So, would you like to try colored pencils sweetheart? I think they would help your drawings just a might. You know, give them a feeling of being real. Your father and I would like it if you would make us some sketches of the forest around Logan�s cabin. Would you make us some sketches?� her mother asked with a bright look.

Catherine just nodded her head yes. She liked to draw but she liked singing more. She wondered if she would ever be able to sing again.

* * * * *
Logan was just driving into town he when turned his car towards the family�s house. He knew they liked his home and he would sell it to them fairly cheap. He had paid off his house a long time ago so he didn�t have to worry about the bank. Besides this would save them money in the long run. This way they would have more money for food.

�Logan, you�re back in town. Please come in, my wife was just getting ready to start supper. Why don�t you join us?� the man of the house asked happily.

�I would love to. Besides I think I know of another way to solve your food problem. But I need you to tell me just how much you are renting this place for?� Logan asked as he entered the house.

�Too much for the shape it�s in, but it is the only thing we could get. We are paying $400 a month for it. We�re looking for something cheaper but we have yet to find anything.� he said sadly.

�I may have an answer to that. How do you feel about my place?� Logan asked kindly.

�We love your place. There is enough room for the children and us. Plus we could get the children a pet or two like we have been wanting to.� he said with a huge smile.

�Well, for a thousand bucks you can buy my place and move in just as soon as I move out.� Logan said with a smile at the look of shock on his face.

�Honey come here!� he shouted as the children stopped playing. They knew something was going down.

�What do you want, I was just getting ready to put dinner on the table?� she asked, more then a little shocked at the way her husband was acting.

�Logan is selling us his house for a thousand dollars.� he said with a huge smile on his face.

�Really,� she said in shock. This was not what she had thought her husband was going to tell her when he called her in here.

�Yes, really,� he said in a state of shock himself.

�You would only have to pay me $200 a month until you get it paid off. I don�t have any trouble with waiting for you to pay me a thousand dollars.� Logan said with a smile. He was really helping his friends out this way. He wondered if there was a way for him to keep doing something like this all the time.

�Thank you Logan, you have really come through for us. We need to give our landlord two weeks notice but I believe we can do that with no problem.� he said with a smile, thinking about the look of shock on the man�s face when he learned they were getting a house to own.

�I do need to pack some things but I believe I can leave you most of the stuff in the house.� Logan said with a smile.

�All we really have is our clothes and the kitchen stuff.� she said as she looked at Logan�s face.

�I don�t need most of the stuff in the house. All I need to take is my clothes and a few things I value. The rest of the stuff you can have,� Logan said with a smile.

* * * * *
Catherine was waiting for her uncle on the porch when he pulled into the driveway. She jumped up and ran to the edge of the driveway and waited for him to stop the car so she could run up to him. She wanted to leave for his cabin tomorrow.

�Don�t worry we will leave for my cabin tomorrow. I don�t have to get any thing for the cabin expect food. We can stop in town and get food. No problems so far and while we are there we can enroll you in the local school, I believe they are still going. We can tell them you are all ready out of school for the summer so I don�t think we will have any trouble there.� Logan said with a smile. He knew she couldn�t wait to get to his cabin so she could start to learn to control her power.

�Logan, we�re glad you�re back. She has been waiting on the porch for you sense she woke up this morning. I think she was going stay out there until you drove up.� her father said as Logan entered the house.

�Well, she knows she must leave town and so she is ready to go. I don�t think there is any problem with that. She knows she needs to learn to control her power and I think she wants to do so where no one knows her.� Logan said as he put his bag down.

�Well big brother, are you ready to handle a teenage girl all by yourself?� his sister asked with a smile on her face.

�I�m as ready as I�ll ever be. I think I will find a woman in town to help her through some things I can�t do. This way she will have someone there when she needs them, be it a man or a woman.� Logan said calmly. He really didn�t foresee any problems. Little did he know she would want a boyfriend soon, and no one would want ask her out on a date. There was a problem in the making and he had no clue it was coming.

�Well Logan things are rarely so simple, so be careful. I know my little girl; soon she will be waiting something most girls have. I won�t tell you want it is, you will learn soon enough.� her father said as Logan looked puzzled.

Catherine was soon the center of attention as Logan saw most of her stuff at the foot of the stairs waiting to be put in his car. He had no problem with this and he wanted it out of the way. There was no way he was going to let his niece down if he could help it.

�I think we will leave in the morning.� Logan said with a smile.

�Okay,� her parents said as they grabbed Catherine�s stuff and headed towards Logan�s car with it.

�Logan, I have a wonderful meal for supper and you will be joining us. Don�t even think about going out for a beer tonight or any night soon. Catherine will need you to be there for her while she learns to control her power. I should warn you she tends to sing in her sleep.� her mother said calmly.

Logan had no trouble with this and so they sat down for dinner as a family for the last time in a long time. Catherine was more then ready to go to Logan�s cabin and ate well for her age. Logan knew he would have to get used to this and had no problem with it. He liked the fact she ate well and didn�t seem to pay much mind to what she was eating.

After they cleaned up the dishes everyone drifted off to do something for a while before going to bed. Catherine went up to her room to make more sketches, while her parents and Logan stayed downstairs to have a talk. Then everyone believed it was time for bed. Catherine was already asleep, having dozed off while she was drawing.

�I believe it would be best if we went to bed early tonight so we will be well rested for tomorrow�s drive.� Logan said as they got ready for bed.

�You might want to check on Catherine each night. She tends to doze off while she is drawing.� her mother said as Logan went upstairs to check on his niece.

When he saw she was asleep at her desk he picked her up and placed her on her bed. He took off her shoes and covered her up with a light blanket. Then he turned out her light and closed the door. Logan saw her parents were on their way upstairs so they could go to bed.

�How is she?� her father asked softly.

�She is sound asleep. I found her asleep at her desk and put her to bed. How often does she fall asleep at her desk?� he asked wondering just how often she did this.

�I�m not sure, I don�t check on her every night like I used too. You need to just to be on the safe side.� her mother said softly.

�Good night Sis,� Logan said softly as he turned into the guest bedroom.
