----------------------Petals POV-----------------------

I had been here for over a month now, it was getting better.

I hadn't seen marlock since before that first doctors check up weeks ago and I was so thankful. Dr Carlan had been in each week to check up on me and take more blood samples and she'd also started checking my weight. My food had also been upped to three meals a day.

Dr Carlan also taught me how to use the tv remote so I had access to more channels and she had brought me more essentials like shampoos, a hair brush and more clothes and she had brought me a few coloured pens and a little notebook which had been helpful to write down all my thoughts and draw when I got extremely bored.

Today I had opened the curtains to let light into the room. I had found that the window looked out to a big garden full of different types of flowers and it opened slightly but had a lock mechanism on it so it only opened a few inches to let in some fresh air. It helped to lessen the depression I was feeling and made me feel closer to home and the village.

I stood Infront on the bathroom mirror in a pair of leggings and a pastel pink t-shirt that wasnt very baggy. I had noticed my hair had started to change colour which was strange. It was turning white at the roots over the past two weeks and moving down to my lengths leaving only a few strands left now my pastel purple colour. I had noticed too that with the more food in my system I'd gained weight thanks to Dr Carlans scales telling me so.

Went back into my room and put on the news which seemed to be tuned into the supernatural news which was talking about some vampire kids that had been taken over the past year. I felt sorry for them knowing exactly what that felt like, hopefully they were okay. Seeing their parents being interviewed left me in tears knowing that must be how my family was however they'd never be able to get help to look for me, only from other pixies in the village.

Since we had been hunted for the past 100 years most pixies hid in villages with the help of a witch keeping us all protected and hidden. Meaning if one of us was taken going to the outside world for help was out of the question.

As my eyes were focused on the tv I reached over for my glass of water and as I did I felt the glass instantly become ice cold. In shock I looked over and discovered the whole glass and water had frozen and while I was just staring at it it suddenly burst into a million pieces making me scream.

Suddenly there where a few sets of footsteps outside the door and Marlock burst through along with two guards that must have been right outside.

He looked at me shocked as he took in what had happened and also focused in on my white hair. He then sniffed the air and looked at my body and I looked down to find my hand had shards of glass in it and was bleeding.

"Don't move Katrina's on her way" he said looking slightly worried which was a new emotion I hadn't seen before.

He instructed the guards to get the cleaners. And after only 2 minutes of silence and neither of us moving two younger boys came in with a vacuum and broom and cleared away the glass from the floor and around me making sure there was none left to get accidentally stood on.

At that moment Dr Carlan quickly rushed in and straight too me to inspect my hand and pull out all the glass.

"Im guessing you've gotten a new ability?" He asked with w small smirk on his face. "M-maybe?" I said it as a question as I wasn't sure myself.

"Are any of your family elementals?"
Thinking about it for a moment before I told him " my mother is an earth elemental and my father isn't any" I said quitely.

Curiosity grew over Marlock and Dr Carlans face. " What is your father's abilities then? Seems strange for you to inherit water without it coming from your parents" Dr Carlan stated, I was with her on that it was quite strange but not uncommon for children to gain their own special abilities especially in our village.

I looked back at my hand as she bandaged it.

"He.. he has the ability to heal" i whispered as they both looked at me with a shocked expression.
