Alright guys, before we get started with this story, anything in italics written like this are words being signed. Any words 'written like this' are words being written. I'm telling y'all this now to avoid confusion. Enjoy!

Prologue- 2003

Finnick

Mom and dad are arguing, again. What did I do this time? It is probably my fault. It is always my fault. The way they move their hands, I can't tell what they are saying. They are yelling at one another. I can tell that by the way mom is turning red and dad keeps running his hands through his hair. They just yell at one another like I'm not even here. After a while, they stop yelling. Mom comes over to me. Finnick, you are going to stay with Mags. Do you remember her? Dad's mom?

I nod. I remember Mags. She is always nice to me. She never treats me like I am broken. I appreciate that. I remember Mags. I sign back to her, my hands moving as quickly as a six year old can. How long?

Mom lets out a sigh and shakes her head. I don't know, Finnick. I don't know. Go pack up the toys and books you want to take. I'll get you some clothes.

I nod and does as she says. I wonder what hearing is like. Mom and Dad can do it. My baby sisters, the twins, Eloise and Daisy, can do it. Why can't I? My speech teacher, Beetee, tells me I talk almost as well as a hearing person. He says I'll be able to sound just like one when I get older. I'm glad about that. I stuff several books into my favorite bag. The one I make sure to grab is strange. It's a book of Fairy Tales. Mom told me she bought the book for Eloise and Daisy, since it is a book with lots of Princesses in it, but the pictures are so pretty and the words are very nice. I could read it for hours. My favorite story is Beauty and the Beast. The girl falls in love with the Beast even though he is different. When she finally tells him she loves him, he gets turned into a Prince and becomes normal. I wonder if that will happen to me.

My mom comes out of my closet with a bag of all my clothes. Ready to go, Finnick? Her fingers sign slowly. She can't sign as fast as I can.

I nod. Yes mom. I'm ready.

She puts me into the car and takes me to a bus stop. You are going to stay on the bus until Mags comes to get you off. Understand? I nod. Good. I'll see you later, Finnick.

She just leaves me there. She drives off, not even making sure the bus will come to grab me. I sigh and pull out the Fairy Tale book. I don't know how long I am reading it when I feel a tap on my shoulder. There is a girl about my age holding hands with her mom. She has stright brown hair pulled into pig tails and is wearing a red and white dress and red rain boots and has a blue back pack on her back. She opens her mouth and seems to say something. I tilt my head, confused. After a moment I get she is trying to talk to me. I point to my ear and shake my head. The girl turns to her mom and her mom seems to explain. After appearing to get it, she comes and sits down next to me. She pulls a spiral and writes in it with a pink crayon. 'My name is Annie.'

She pulls out a blue crayon and gives it to me. 'My name is Finnick.'

She seems to giggle and writes more in the spiral. 'That is a silly name.'

Annie's mom seems to scold her, but I laugh. 'So is Annie.' Annie laughs right back at me.

We sit there writing one another notes until the bus arrives. I get on, as does Annie and her mom. 'Where are you getting off at?' She writes.

I shrug. 'I don't know. I am supposed to wait for my Grandma to come get me.' Annie nods and starts to write again, but I don't miss the way Annie's mom presses her lips together in a tight line as she reads that. She then tells her daughter something.

'My mom wants to know where your mom and dad are.' She writes in the pink color.

I pull out my blue and write some more. 'Mom dropped me off at the bus and told me to stay on the bus until my grandma got me. Dad stayed at home with my sisters.' Annie's mom looks really sad. I don't know why.

They don't get off of the bus until I do. They stay on until they see my Grandma getting on and explaining to the bus driver she is picking me up. Grandma Mags has a kind face. She looks a lot different from dad. She has curly brown hair streaked with gray hair pulled back into a pony tail. She seems kind, motherly. When she sees me, her eyes light up. As we are getting off, Annie's mom is speaking to her. Annie is holding the spiral under her arm. Eventually we must say goodbye, though. I feel really sad about that.I don't like having to say goodbye to my friend, especially since she is the first one I had. We give one another a hug and a smile and we head off our separate ways. I watch as Annie goes off. She is skipping. I know her favorite color is pink. Her favorite animal is a dolphin and her favorite movie is The Little Mermaid. She knows my favorite color is blue. My favorite animal is a shark and my favorite movie is Beauty and the Beast. I watch her as Mags and I drive off. Annie and her mom are walking. They are walking to a nice apartment complex that is by the bus. I don't remember what Mag's house looks like, but I love what is looks like when I get there.

It is a small house. It is painted blue and has lots of green grass around it. It also has a white fence surrounding it. Finnick, I'll show you to your room. We can decorate it how ever you want. We can buy paint tomorrow and have a party painting the walls? That sound fun?

I nod and smile. Not only does my grandma have a nice house, she can sign really well. I can also smell cookies being baked from out here. I think I'm going to enjoy living here.

Alright guys? What do you think! This is the second installment in the Infinity Series, but you do not need to read part one to understand part two! Cool, huh? If you want to read part one then go check out Infinity: Sea Glass, but if you don't want to, that is perfectly fine!
