Secret Powers Ch. 06: Mum's Secret

I wake up groggily and glance at my clock and see that it's 19:12. I've slept for about five hours. I stumble to the toilet and pee and wash my face. Back in my bedroom, I throw on my nightie. Why should I bother dressing if I'm not going out?

My stomach growls. I remember Mum talking about leftovers so I go to the kitchen and find them in the fridge. I pop them in the microwave and sit at the kitchen table. The events of the day storm back into my brain.

The microwave beeps and I collect the plate and return to the table. Oh, I need a fork. I get one from the drawer, sit down and start shovelling the food in.

Mum shuffles in. "How are you, Mary?" she inquires.

"Been better, but okay."

She says, "We need to talk."

I look up at her and reply, "Yeah, we do. I need to make a phone call first though. And I'd like to finish eating."

"No worries. I'll see what's on TV." She goes into the lounge room and turns it on.

I finish my lunch and rinse the plate and fork. I return to my bedroom and find my phone. I pull up my call log. I see two outgoing calls at the top. Now, who did Melissa call first in the car? I think it was her, then Tara. I make contacts for each, so I have them in my list.

I decide to call Melissa.

"Hey, Mary, how are you?"

"I'm okay, Melissa. I zonked out when I got home, and I just woke up a few minutes ago. How is Sonya?"

"She's pretty shaken up still, but she's finally quit sobbing."

"I'm happy that you two can provide a safe place for her."

"Of course, we always look out for good people."

"I was going to talk with her, but maybe in a little while."

"Yeah, that's probably best."

"Can I talk to Tara?"

"Sure, she's right here. I'll hand her my phone."

"Hey, Mary, are you okay?"

"Yeah, Tara, just a bit groggy still. I had a nap."

"I don't blame you. We have been working hard to get Sonya settled. I think we have done it as well as we can for now."

"You are so sweet."

"Oh, I wouldn't call myself sweet, but I do care."

"You most certainly do. I was wondering if I could come over tomorrow."

"Sure, but we have plans for the morning. Maybe about 2:00?"

"4:00 would be better, I'm working the morning shift."

"No worries."

"What do you have planned?"

"We're going to the police to get a Family Violence Order against Kyle and then see about Sonya's phone."

"Great! You always know what to do. Can I speak with Melissa again?"

"Sure, here."

"Yes, Mary?" Melissa asks.

"I'd like to talk to Sonya later. Can you let her have your phone for the evening so I can call her back?"

"Of course, Mary. You care for Sonya a lot, don't you?"

"Yes, she's lovely. I arranged with Tara to come over tomorrow afternoon."

"Nice. Well, I'll let you go. Bye until then."

"Good night, Melissa. Love you."

"We love you, Mary. Bye."

I lie back on my bed and try to process all the stuff that happened to me today. Then I remember about Mum. I walk to the lounge room and sit on the sofa with Mum. She turns off the TV and looks at me.

She looks right at me and says seriously, "You discovered your powers today, didn't you?"

I reply, "Yes, Mum."

"They are strange and wonderful, aren't they?"

"Oh yes, they are."

"But you also discovered the dark side, am I right?"

"Uh-huh."

"For years I struggled with whether to tell you about them, Mary. I knew I had the powers from an early age. My mum did tell me about them, and I used them a lot when I was young, mostly with girls. I actually used them to seduce your dad, because I was very attracted when I met him.

"He loved it at first, and we had a rollicking time. You were born about a year after we married. But as time went on, he resented being controlled and started being a control freak himself.

"I shut down from him sexually when he did that, and that made him even angrier. I took refuge in a few women I knew, using my powers sparingly with them, but always with their consent. When you were ten, he found out and he started being violent."

"Oh, yes, I remember that," I reply.

Mum continues, "One night, after finding out about another woman I'd been with, he beat me severely, then threatened to kill me."

I say, "Yes, I'll never forget that night!"

"He grabbed a knife and came at me. To protect me, and you, I panicked and projected my fingers into his chest and squeezed his aorta hard. He collapsed immediately, and I also had to sit. To avoid passing out myself, I released it from time to time, so that I had some blood flow.

"As you know, he had had a heart attack a few months earlier, so he was weaker. I played him until he passed out. I kept squeezing until I went unconscious, and then of course my grip was released. What I had done was enough to stop his heart." Mum stops talking.

I stare at her, letting all of her story run through me. "Oh my god, Mum. You killed him!"

"Yes, I did. But it was self-defence, and to keep him from hurting you as well."

"Wow, I get that, I remember the night. I don't blame you at all. I always wondered why he collapsed the way he did."

"I've thought about that act thousands of times, trying to convince myself that I had to do it. I do believe that, but it's still a heavy burden, to know that I took a life."

We fall silent. Her news washes through me and explains some things that I have wondered about. I told her, "I had an experience today with violence, which reminded me of that night."

"Yes, when I read you earlier, I sensed something like that."

"I guess I need to tell you what I've been up to today." I tell her the whole story, from seeing Melissa on the beach up to Kyle's coming into his and Sonya's place.

"Kyle was furious that Sonya was leaving him. With his earlier text death threat, I was terrified and enraged myself. When he knocked her down, the memory of that night with Dad came flooding back. I was going to kick him hard in the balls with my power, but Tara yelled at me to stop, so I had his muscles all collapse so he couldn't move. Of course, that made me collapse as well."

I relate the rest of the events up until I came home.

"So how do you feel about what you did, Mary?"

I think for a moment, then say, "Like you, although not as severe because I didn't actually kill Kyle or even hurt him. It's a dark feeling though, knowing that my powers can hurt as well as give pleasure."

"Exactly," Mum replies, and then she pauses for thought. "After years of enjoying my powers, I had to reevaluate them. I stopped using them almost entirely, only flirting occasionally when I saw a hot woman I couldn't resist.

"I had been thinking of telling you about my powers, and of course yours that you inherited, to prepare you since you were approaching puberty which would probably activate them. But the dark side scared me, so I never told you. I'm so sorry, Mary."

"I understand, Mum, don't feel bad. I've learned so much about myself today. It's pretty overwhelming. I guess that's why I crashed earlier."

"I felt great turmoil in you, which is why I let you go until you were ready to talk about it."

"Thanks, Mum. I guess I still have a lot to learn about the powers, and me."

"I'll help you with that from now on, I promise. I'm sorry that I didn't prepare you."

"It's okay, Mum. I get it. I think I'll go to bed. I also want to talk with Sonya to make sure she's all right."

"Good night, Mary."

"Night, Mum."

I go to my bedroom and close the door. I flop on the bed and pick up my phone from the table. I text Sonya on Melissa's phone number, "Okay to call, Sonya? Are you alone?"

"Yes and yes," she replies. I ring her.

"Hello, Mary. I've missed you."

"Oh, Sonya, that's sweet. How are you?"

"Pretty wrecked, but I feel better now. They've been great to me here, especially Melissa. She's so gentle and loving. She's helped me feel safer."

"Yes, they are both wonderful. Did you have dinner?"

"Yes, and wow, Tara is a great cook!"

"I know."

"Mary, you are so great too. I, um, loved what we did today."

"Oh, which part?"

"Uh, you know, the um..."

"Touching? Cumming?"

"Mmm yes, that part."

"It was my pleasure."

"No, mine. I've been thinking about what you said, about having pleasure with another."

"Yes, and?"

"I want you, Mary. I can't wait to see you again."

"Aw, I want you too, Sonya. I will be over there tomorrow afternoon. Maybe we can, you know, have some fun."

"I'd love that!"

"Are you in bed now?"

"Yes."

"We could have phone sex. Would you like that?"

"I've heard about it, but what is it?"

"Well, we talk about what I would do if I were there with you."

"Oh, that sounds interesting."

"I'm in my nightie, with nothing else on. What are you wearing?"

"I'm in a nightshirt."

"Anything else on?"

"Panties."

"Take them off. Oh, and put your phone on speaker so you have both hands free."

"Oh. Okay. They're off now."

"Great, Sonya. Now I'm going to say what I would do if I were there. You touch yourself the same way."

"Okay."

"I'm rubbing your stomach gently through your nightshirt. Then around your lovely big boobs, but not touching them yet."

"Oo that's nice."

"Now I cup them in my hands as best I can. I love your big boobs."

"Lovely."

"My fingers wander over them, then close on your nipples and stroke them."

"Mmm, nice."

"You are doing this?"

"Oh, yes, Mary, it feels great."

"I am pulling your nipples and making them hard, then pinching and twisting them."

"Ahhhh."

"Take off your nightshirt and rub your naked nipples."

"Okay. Taking it off. Mmmm I love your touch on my nipples."

"Feel me pulling and twisting and pinching gently."

"Oh my, Mary, you are making me hot."

"Good. Now I want you to take over the talking. Touch yourself, and tell me that you are doing it to me. I will do what you say."

"Um, okay. I'm pulling your nipples."

"Mmm, my pussy is getting wet."

"My hand is sliding down my stomach, oops, your stomach."

"Ooo yes, don't stop."

"Going farther, resting on your mound. Then rubbing a little."

"Nice."

"How am I doing?"

"Just great, Sonya, keep going. Do to yourself what you are telling me that you are doing to me, and I'll do that to myself."

"My fingers play over your pussy lips."

"They are wet."

"Slipping between them, wiggling around. Now sliding a finger into me, I mean you."

"Ooo yes, I feel your finger in me."

"Sliding in and out now, with a steady rhythm."

"Oh, Sonya, that's delicious."

"Getting wet, sliding faster. Ohhh. Now pulling my finger over your clit."

"Ahh, yes, that feels so good. I'm starting to drip."

"Me too. Oh, Mary, I love turning you on."

"You are doing a great job, Sonya. Keep going."

"Rubbing your clit around in circles. Ahhh."

"Yes, keep doing that. Making me so hot."

"Sliding two fingers of my other hand inside as I keep rubbing your clit."

"Oh yes, fuck me, Sonya. Fuck my tight wet pussy."

"Ahh yes, Mary. Feel my fingers going in and out."

"I feel them."

"Harder and faster I push."

"Ohhh, Sonya, you are going to make me cum. Fuck me."

"Oh yes, Mary, I want to make you cum. I'm fucking your wet pussy. Ohhhhh."

"Ahhh, I'm getting close."

"In and out, hard and fast."

"Ohhh yessss, you're gonna do it. Ahhhhhhh. Cummmmming."

"Ahhhhh, me too. Ohhhh."

We moan as we fuck our pussies, finally slowing down and panting.

"Wow Sonya, you were so good. You made me feel so good."

"I didn't know what I was doing, but I'm glad you enjoyed it. I had a big orgasm, did you?"

"Oh yes, Sonya, I sure did."

"I'm happy about that."

"Oh, Sonya, you are a lovely person, and a sexy woman."

"Aw, thanks. So that's phone sex?"

I giggle. "Yep, and you are a natural. Didn't you ever do that?"

"No!"

"I loved it."

"Oh, me too. I can't wait to do it with you for real."

"Yes, that will be great. Well, I'm pretty exhausted. I'm going to sleep. Good night, my lovely."

"Good night, Mary. Kisses."

"Kisses."

We hang up and I think of lovely Sonya and fall asleep quickly.
