Queen of the elements (Book 4 of The Fire Within)

Part 26: Curse

Ben: You all were stuck in the life of mediocrity. We were born to be something special.

Y/n: And what if we're tired of being special. Maybe we want a normal life where we don't have to worry about the world ending, or hurting others because of our powers. We dealt with that our entire lives. Maybe not having it was a good thing. 

Ben: You wouldn't know. You never lost your powers. Think about it. What would you do without your powers. 

Y/n: I would have a normal life. I wouldn't be a queen. I could live here, with my family. (Looks at Five.) With the people I love. (Looks back at Ben.) Have a family of my own. I'd built a life for myself. One that I control. No one else. 

Ben: Oh, please, you're a queen. Who would give that up? 

Y/n: I would. My entire life. I've had people telling me what I can and can't do. I never got to live. I was so focused on surviving. The academy, the apolocalyse, the commission, saving the world 3 times. 

Ben: You're a Queen now. You can do whatever you want. 

Y/n: I never wanted to be a queen. I never wanted to be a hero. I wanted my family. I wanted to be a sister, a wife, a mother. I wanted to have a career, something were I helped people, something were I could be independent, something to look up too. I had a plan for my life. Dreams. Goals. Some of it came true, others didn't but having powers made it 10 times harder, especially when you are to scared of hurting anyone to even try. 

Ben: Yeah, but your life turned out amazing, and you got everything you wanted and more, except for the mother part but now you and Five are back together I'm sure you can make that happen, right? 

Y/n: Wrong. My powers were never made for a human body. My body runs to hot. When I had a human body I couldn't have kids because of it and even now, Immortals can't have kids. I'll never get to be a mother, all because I have powers. Powers come in handy sometimes, and they can be fun and amzing but they can also be a curse, a curse that none of us ask for. A curse I'm stuck with for eternity, but one they didn't have to be. (She motions to her siblings.) A curse they got rid of and didn't want back, but you couldn't repect that, could you?
