            This is my story. My power is shape shifting. This story tells how I got my powers. This is before I became the true hero I am today. This is how it started. “So what do you wish for?” he asked me. I answered, “Domongie, I want the ability to shape shift into anything and anyone.” He smiled and said, “Wish granted.”

            I woke up not knowing where I was. All I remember is talking with someone or something. As I walked home, I couldn’t get the image of the blue guy, who I saw before I woke up, out of my head. I don’t know if I slipped and was dreaming. Or maybe everything that happened was real. So I shrugged it off and went home. Before I crossed the street on the way home, I noticed someone looking at me. I looked away for a second then he was gone. I went to check it out to see if the strange man was still there. When I got to where the man was, he reappeared behind me. He looked at me and said, “Hello, Lizzy, my name is Alastic” I stood there in shock because he knew my name. “I only have a few minutes so listen to me quickly. I know that you have seen Domongie, the evil genie. And I also know what you wished for, do you remember?” I said, “I-I um w-wished f-for the ability to shape shift.” He smiled like the genie did. Before he said, “Indeed you did, do you want to know what that means?” I said, “That means I can change into anything I want.” Immediately he continued to speak. He said, “Yes, that’s right, but there’s more to it. When you shape shift into a person that has powers, you can gain there ability in the process. But the power only lasts from sunrise to sundown. During the night, you turn back into your normal self. That’s why I’m here, to protect you.” I looked at him a while before I said, “I believe you, but one question, why did the genie pick me?” He just said, “Because he knew you would wish for a power and he thought he could use you for it.”

            I stood there for a while. I kind of blanked for a second before he started talking again. He said, “I’m here to protect you from the enemies that would like to turn kids, like you, into evil.  I run a school for people just like you.  Some of the “students” that I help were born with there power.  Others got theirs from magic, just like you. I would like you to join my school.”  I looked at him with a smile but what came out of my mouth surprised me, “What about my parents, don’t you need their permission?” He frowned when he said, “Oh yes, we need their permission. Let me call my friend Hypno Destiny, to meet us there. He usually talks to the parents for me. ”  I then asked, “What will he tell them?”He answered, “He will tell your parents about the school.  He usually tells parents that the school is for the gifted students.”

           When he finished calling his friend, we walked to my house. When we got there, a man was standing, waiting for us. When we got up to the door, he said, “Hello, nice to meet you, my name is Mr. Destiny, I’m headmaster of The Evermore School for the Gifted.  I am here to speak with your parents.” He kind of scared me, but I guess it was because he was strange. I opened the door to find mom and dad watching TV. “Hey mom” I called, “I’m home.  I have someone who wants to speak with you.” They turned around then turned off the TV. “Hello.” My father greeted them. My dad greeted them like he knew them, but I thought it was just my imagination.  Mr. Destiny said, “We want to talk to you about your daughter.  I am the headmaster of a school called the Evermore School of The Gifted and this is Alastic, my partner. We would like you to enroll your daughter into the school.”  My mom stared at me and said, “Honey, go to your room.  We would like to talk to them in private.” And so I went to my room. My dad went upstairs with me for some reason.

As she went up stairs, her mom said, “Will you protect her.” She said.  Mr. Destiny said, “Yes I will Stacy. I would do anything for an old student of mine, especially since you were one of my best students.”  She said, “I hope you are still good at protecting your students.  If my daughter gets hurt, you will have to answer to me.  So do your best to protect her from Tony.", she said in a series tone, “Don’t tell her I know about her powers for right now. She would be upset if she knew that her powers were planned.” He said, “I will do my best, but she will know sooner or later." She just frowned and said, “Hopefully it’s later than sooner.

My mom called me and my dad downstairs. She said, “Are you sure you want to go?” I smiled and said, “Definitely, it sounds cool.” She said, “Good. We have just finished filling out the forms and you will leave in three days.”  I smiled and ran over to hug her. I said “Thank you so much mom.” She said, “You better start packing so you will be done in time.” I ran upstairs to get my things ready. While I was upstairs, I heard my parents talking, they were fighting, but I didn’t know what about.

Downstairs her parents were screaming. Her dad said, “Stacy, why did you say yes?  I thought we were done with all of this.” She replied, “Eric, you knew this was going to happen too. So why fight it.” He frowned and said, “Your right I did know, but are you positive we can trust Alastic and Destiny.” She said, “You know I don’t trust anyone, but they will help her control her powers. They can protect her from my brother and that’s why I’m letting her go.”

Three Days Later, “I’m ready to go.” I said to my mom. I walked out to the car and put my bags in. Since the school is far away, I have to stay in one of the school dorms. My mom drove me to the bus station and we said our goodbyes. I wish I could’ve told her about Domongie and the school, but I knew it had to be a secret. I knew, that day, that I would be happy at my new school. Or so I thought. I had no idea what was going to happen this year.
