Shadow Elements

Chapter 1- Good morning

Chapter 1********

As the morning light broke over the horizon, the Followell’s began to stir, our work started early. I always woke the latest, and Celia had already been in to throw off all my sheets. I guess it’s a good thing that I’m never cold. Oh by the way, each member of my family was born with the power to control an element. Celia’s is fire and mine is water, which is weird because were twins.

 I slowly crawl out of bed, putting on a loose shirt and pants, I’ll get dressed for real later if we go into town I think to myself. I quickly looked in the dirty bathroom mirror as I passed it. My vibrant blue eyes shine like bright, blue stars. Also little icicles hang of my unkempt blonde hair. As I enter the kitchen, everyone is already seated for breakfast.

” Hello Selias, take a seat.’ My mother said with a smile. As I sat Celia looked me up and down, then sighed with annoyance, “I wish I was a boy.” She said resting her head on her hand. “Celia?! Why would you say that?” May mother asked somewhat shocked by what my twin has said. “if I was a boy I wouldn’t have to wear this.” She said pulling at the fabric of her beautiful red dress. “But it looks very nice on you.’ I say, which got me daggers from Celia. The dress matched perfectly with her sometimes literally flaming red hair and brown eyes that had gold flecks in them. You can tell that she controls fire like how you can tell that I control water.

 My father enters the room sporting a small fern on his head and some mushrooms on his shoulder. “Dear, could you please at least clean up a little bit before coming to the table.” My mother said exasperated. “Selias still has ice on his hair and Celia is flaming so I don’t think I’m doing too badly!”  My father said flopping into his chair. My father goes down into the town every night to use his powers to create bountiful crops for the town’s people. My mother brings the rain and the sun with her winds to complement my father’s plants. One of the reasons we live on the hill is so that we can have peace and quiet away from people’s mundane problems. Celia and I are the only children left in my family. All of my extended family have been killed. Now it’s just us left. “Selias would you like to come to town with me and Celia today?”
