The 7

Chapter 1 Part 3

 AN Well guys this is the last part of chapter 1, I thought it was a pretty long chapter so I separated it into  different parts. I hope you guys have been enjoying the 7 so far. And remember to review and vote!

About an hour later, I finally got my room assignment and schedule for Monday. I'm currently standing in front of room 696, my future room. I'm trying to gather the courage to just walk in and see my siblings. That I've never met. I reach out to turn the doorknob, once my hand comes in contact with it, something flashes in front of my eyes. A man with no face in an all-black suit, what could it mean? Shaking the image out of my head, I enter the room. I'm able to sigh in relief because I'm the first one in the room. I have a moment to relax and be to myself, I'm not used to being around so many people. I start to observe the room, it's oddly large and a dull blue color. There's a desk with one computer, I guess it's good that Maria bought me a computer. Speaking of Maria, I need to call her. Taking out my phone I dial her number.

"Hey Maria, I wanted to just call you to tell you I'm alive, no serial killers got to me on the plane,"

"That's not funny Isra, you know trouble seems to follow you," If only you only knew how true that was Maria.

"Well, I am currently sitting in a beautiful dorm, with two other suitemates and guess what! It turns out they're my siblings," I could hear Maria gasp, trying to determine what to say, I mean what could you even say to that?

"What do you mean they're your siblings?" Before I could answer Maria, question the doorknob turned.

"One of them are coming now, I'll explain later," Before she can say anything else, I hang up. I have no idea how to explain Carden to her. Am I even allowed to tell her? Do I want to tell her? The door knobs starts to turn and I try to prep myself for the worse.

"Am I expected to go up those stairs every time just to get to my room?" I can feel myself relaxing, the first impression she isn't snotty.

A giggle had escaped my mouth before I responded, "I think there's an elevator somewhere,"

"Oh dear, I didn't even notice you, I'm Kali," We almost looked like twins in a way, she looks younger but we both have the same pale skin, and ink black hair.

"I'm Isra, and I guess we're siblings."

"Yeah, that's weird not growing up with your siblings all your life," It's not that weird it happens in the system all the time, I decided not to mention that to her.

"I guess so is your father the missing figure in your life too?" Technically my mom isn't missing she's in a cemetery in Long Beach. The look on Kali's face told me I was spot on, she immediately had a look of longing.

"He is the one, it's freaky because of one guy our lives are forever changed," Kali's trembling, it's apparently affecting her more than it is me so I decide to change the subject.

"Have you figured out what makes you special yet?"

"No, not really, what about you?" I can't tell if she's lying or not.

"Me neither, I was hoping you had yours so I would know what to expect," I try to gauge her reaction to my words. I can tell that she's contemplating like she wants to tell me something but she's not so sure.

"Well I guess we are sisters and sisters are supposed to share everything," before she could continue the doorknob turns and both of our attention is on that.

The first word that came to mind when I saw my other roommate/sister is beautiful. She looks the same as Kali with the ink black hair and pale skin and me but somehow it just works for her. Before I can ask for her name, she interrupts me.

"I'm Lilith and you are?" I could see Kali hesitant so I took the lead.

"I'm Isra and this is Kali,"

"Eye-ra and Kali?".

"No Isra with an S," I can never understand how people can get my name wrong.

"Well, Isra which bed is yours?"

"The bed on the wall, you and Kali get to share the bunk beds,"

"Good, I wanted top bunk." She's like those foster child who are privileged all their lives and use to getting whatever they want and throw a tantrum when they don't. I don't know how I feel about Lilith being my sister.

"So Lilith, have you figured out what makes you special yet?"

"I mean the question is what doesn't make me special everything about me is unique, but if you're talking about those little gifts the headmistress was talking about, mine is something like the earth, it speaks to me and I can sometimes bend it to my will," Out of everything she could say I didn't think it would be that. I thought that it would be something similar to mine where I feel the emotions of anger and hatred and I get a high off of it. I look at Kali and she sounds like she doesn't believe Lilith.

"So you don't feel other people's emotions at all?" Kali reacts to that so I could tell she knew exactly what I was talking about, Lilith on the hand still looks confused. I continue to elaborate,

"For me, it's like anger and hatred I feel it so strongly sometimes it knocks me over. Some recognition flickers in Lilith's eyes.

"Oh, that I feel emotions but it's not angering, it's more kinda like a list and not list sexually but just list toward anything like maybe money," Lilith actually sounds a little bit embarrassed when she said that to me.

"I might feel something like that but it's weird, it's people laziness that gives me a burst of energy, whenever they say I don't feel like this or I'm too lazy it's like a wave hits me and then I get determined to do something," Maybe I'm not alone as I initially thought I would be, maybe someone does actually understand my feelings.

"So Lilith, your dad is the mom who's missing right?" I asked just to make sure.

"You are correct, I was raised by a single mom right here in long beach, where are you from?"

Kali answers before I can, "I was born in Long Beach too but moved to Canada when I was about 3," This couldn't be consequential we were all born in Long Beach.

"Well it can't be all be a that we were all born in Long Beach and we ended up here now,"

Trying to move on from the confusing things I ask, "So what are you guys schedule?". We all silently go and grab our schedules and wordlessly exchange them. I give mine to Kali and Kali gives her to Lilith and Lilith gives me hers. Seeing as I had only had my schedule for an hour I didn't exactly fully know it yet, but I had, at least, half of my classes with Lilith.

"So I don't exactly fully understand my schedule I let out a giggle after that statements, so let's all put it on the floor and compare," And just like that we ended up on the floor comparing schedule and all of had the same schedule except for one class, our first period, I had Introduction to Fire, Lilith had Introduction to Earth, and Kali had Introduction to Water. If Lilith said she can influence the Earth, does that mean that I can affect Fire and Kali water?

After talking with Lilith and Kali for about an hour, I slipped away on the roof to get away from everything and to call Maria back.

"Hey Maria, it's Isra I was calling you back, call me back soon I should be going to sleep in about 15 minutes," I'm thankful Maria didn't answer, I needed a minute to myself. Do I really believe everything they're telling me? That I have some kind of abilities that I'm not aware of, how could I not have an idea what I have some freak connection to Fire. I'm already dangerous enough with my anger issues and adding Fire to the mix wouldn't be good. What if I just left Carden now? My parents aren't worth all of this. I go back inside deciding just to sleep on it, maybe I'll make up my mind tomorrow.
