Power of the mind

Forgive me

From a distance, he watched every move I made. I felt his eyes burn on my back and enjoyed his attention. It went the same way every time. When I swept my blond locks behind my shoulder, I quickly took the chance to look for him. Every time I found him, staring at me. Normally it never lasted long, but this time it was different. I blushed profusely.

"Emilia. You look fine today." He nodded slowly. I winced at his low voice. This was the first time he dared to visit me, as he didn't see my brothers around. This was his chance.

"Thanks, you too, actually you look fine every day. I mean, it's not that I stalk you every day, just sometimes... I mean when I see you, you look hot."

May I please, rest in peace. My social skills were a disaster.

"Do you want to hang out after school?" he asked politely.

I was surprised by his question.

Alexander puts his arm around my shoulders and Ethan came blankly to my other side. No one could tell the difference between my twin brothers except me and my other brothers. Even my own mother had a hard time separating them. Though they looked so similar in appearance, they were each other's extreme in character, but they seemed to complement each other as a whole.

"I already had a hunch." A grim smile hung on Alexander's lips as he seemed to intimidate Joshua. Ethan sniffed.

"Now, get out of here!" Alexander commanded Joshua, running his tongue over his teeth.

"Why, am I not doing anything wrong? We're just talking." Joshua replied, eyelids squinting.

Alexander balled his hand into a fist and slapped Joshua's face, causing blood to splash from his nose. Joshua pinched his nose with his fingers and walked away furious.

I shared the same emotion and couldn't help to use my powers. I looked into Alex' eyes and turned on the pain power that I owned. I was born with it, just as my brothers unique powers. Although we didn't have the same forces.

He clenched his jaws, while his face soured. I didn't meant to hurt Ethan, but because of the mental connection, he felt equally bad. I couldn't describe the feeling, for the reason that I only could project my power on other people, but it must feel like your whole body would explode.

"Emilia, stop it!" Alexander ordered bitter.

It was hard to turn off my powers when I used them. I had to do my best to make sure I didn't go too far...

'Emilia, please?' asked Ethan as calm as he could.

It must be annoying to constantly be connected to someone else. They shared the same mood, they fell in love with the same person, but it also made them mentally stronger than normal people. They could even handle my force better than my other brothers.

I turned off the pain. They tried to act normal again around the other kids. The rumors about us in school were ridiculous: from using drugs to having sex with my four brothers, mostly claimed by the popular jalouse girls who have crushes on all of my brothers.

After school I normally walked home, but today my oldest brother Noah was standing against his Jeep with his arms crossed. A couple of girls were giggling when they walked past Noah. Kind as he acted, he greeted the girls. He liked the attention. he couldn't get enough of it. Sometimes Noah forced people to look at him. That was his power. Not forcing to look, but forcing in general. He could influence everyone's emotions and actions with his mind.

"Get in." he demand when he saw me. I frowned and ignored him.

When we were younger Noah cried as a baby while I hurt him, however he succeed to take control over my mind. So he could block my powers from himself and use it against other people. Most of the time he used me and I hated it.
