Today was going to be an awesome day. My parents are taking me and my brother Pietro on a picnic on Sunny Hill. I was super excited. I was up in my room laying on my bed thinking. I found out that i had some sort of power. I can move things with my mind and i can get inside of peoples head, i could see what they are hiding and their worst fears were. It was scary. No one knew and i didn't tell anyone. I didn't want people to think i was some sort of monster. I got up and went to my closet to pick out my clothes. It was 7:40 and I couldn't sleep. I picked out a red crop top with a black heart on it, black skinny jeans and white converse. I lived in Montana so it wasn't to hot or to cold. I put my hair in a messy bun and walked out of my room and went downstairs.

"Good morning Scarlett." My parents say in unison. "Mornin." i say. I grab a red apple. I bet you know what my favorite color is. Red. I sat at the table waiting for someone to talk. "Hey family. Pietro is up and ready." Pietro says. I laugh. He is an amazing brother. When we were in school he would always be there for me, even though he is a year younger then me. He grabbed a green apple and sat next to me. He is wearing a light gray shirt and black sweat pants and black and bright yellow Nike's. "Are you guys excited for today?" Our dad asked. I nod because i have apple in my mouth. "You know it bro! I can't wait!" Pietro says. I laugh, choking on my apple. Pietro got up and ran towards me. He went behind my back and put his arms around my stomach and stared to squeeze my stomach. I cough spitting out the apple. It was gross. I turn to Pietro. "Thanks bro! You just saved my life." I get up and hug him. "I'll always be there to save you." I smile. Sometimes he treated me like i was the younger one and he was the older one. He is the best brother ever. We pull away from our hug to see out parents on their phones. My smile fads. I look at Pietro. He looks sad and mad at the same time. Our parents own this huge business and that's how they get millions of dollars. We live in a mansion. It's amazing but all me and Pietro want is to have our parents be able to have a day were they don't have to work and can spend the day with us.

They both hang up there phones and look at us with sad eyes. "I'm sorry children. Your father and i have to go back to the department. Someone messed with the machines and we have to go back." My mom says. I didn't know what to say. I was mad and sad. I couldn't believe they would bail on us. Again! The last time we were all together was 4 months ago. I mean come on! That's crazy! I didn't want to talk to them. "Scarlette are you okay? Honey I know your upset, but this is part of us owning a huge business. We have to be there when people need help." my dad says. I look at them, tears running down my face. "I know but when was the last time we all were together as a family doing something fun? 5 Mouths! I mean really?" I was crying now. I couldn't stand there anymore. I ran up to my room and slammed the door. I was crying so hard now.

I looked down at my hands. They are glowing red! "What's happening to me?"
