"1.. and 2.. and 3..and .. 4"
"Amelia pay attention girl" as Annette hit her on the back of the head with her cane. Her accent was rusky and brittle which made sense for an old French lady.
Amelia rolled her eyes, straightening her posture lifting her toes to begin a perfect leap.
"We only have 1 more hour to perfect your ballon before stage time"
"I understand Annette, I'm just overwhelmed"
Amelia responded with such a petite but elegant British accent.

Amelia had been practicing for hours, her feet had blisters. This was for her performance Don Quixote, she'd been showcasing for the past 6 months all over the US, New Yorks theatres were a common place her studio would perform at.

Feeling tiresome and frankly bored of the varsade, being a classical dancer for a European dance studio to cover her real job seemed ridiculous but what her father wanted he got and he thought it be best to show the world a graceful poetic dancer could never be such a high trained ruthless soldier for Britain's elite. So living this life with no real life was what Amelia had to do, to please her father Colonel Arnold Stones apart of the British army and it's more secretive sectors.

Amelia had been a dancing since she was a child and sadly a soldier. Her abilities allowed her to do incredible things, in such a sufficient manner and her father saw value in her skills every since he adopted her from a Norwegian orphanage with no memories of her life beside 2 large claw like scars on her back that always gave her nightmares.

She was only 5 yrs old when he bought her home to his wife Lillian Stones. He truly does love his daughter even not being his blood, thinking to give her every opportunity till her powers started showing at 8 yrs old, it started with small things like Amelia never got sick or when she fell out of attic window 3 stories and no broken bones appeared, the final sign was when Amelias horse Rogers got a snake bite in his left leg doomed to die and all she had to do was touch him, her hands began to glow like energy they light up her veins light up like expanding gloves till her eyes went grey and it's like the energy around was being absorbed through her to the horse.

The horse woke and got up like nothing happened the surrounding looked like a dead circle of grass and trees, she'd absorbed all the earth in range and transferred it to Rogers. The impossible kept happening around her, her reflexes, her strength, it was like she was absorbing the world around becoming this being of energy and life itself. But with all power, came control and that was something Amelia struggled with deeply.

She could control her strength, absorbing energy around her and using that energy as a force  but Amelias biggest difficulty was how to use her energy to heal people, and that led to the guilt. Her father saw his daughter as something useful for his country he just felt her skills couldn't go to waste, that's when why decided to sign her up to programs to help become Europe's greatest asset. Amelia became the inspiration for the red room. Her father knew she needed to be trained in the most elite academic institution, but how do you train a superhuman girl.
