The Four

Present Time

"ARIA!" A 16 year old girl yells at the stop of her lungs. Her eyes an intense shade of green with light auburn hair. Other than her nose and eye shape she looks nothing like her other sisters. In fact she looks relatively normal compared to the girls. A 14 year old girl runs to the kitchen where her older sister, June, was waiting for her. "I-I'm sorry! I-I didn't mean to! Honest! The wind just - and I- My power! I'm sorry!" Aria blurts out all at once. June chuckles at her younger sisters tone. She pulls Aria into her arms to reassure her that she isn't mad. After all when she was 14, June had the same problem. Unable to control her powers perfectly she was a mess, but she still had three little sisters to look after. "It's all right, just be careful next time. Now go and get dressed we are having some people over." June said after releasing her little sister. June was wearing white shorts and a long dark green shirt. Her hair was down, perfectly framing her beautiful face. June makes herself busy by trying to make sure the kitchen looked at least presentable. Her next door neighbors asked if they could come over and visit today, and she gladly agreed. They were in the same situation as the girls. No parents and dependant on their oldest sibling for everything. Well, June knew the boys dad was still out there and dropped by occasionally but it never went well, because the oldest brother, Alex always seemed upset after their encounter. June was pulled out if her thoughts by the door bell. She gave one last glance to her now spotless kitchen and ran to the door. She had no shoes on, but she always preferred it like that. The hardwood floor was cool on her bare feet. June opened the door to Alex and his younger brothers. Alex had chocolate eyes that could melt away any girls heart if they weren't careful, with perfectly tanned skin and light auburn hair. His smile gave June a weird feeling in her stomach. Almost like she- No. She had a family she needed to provide for no time for a life, she thought. June flashed a smile as the boys filed in. Alex, Marcus, Mason, and lastly the youngest, Jayden. They were all coincidentally the same ages as the girls. They've each also been in the same classes as the girls since June was 6, which was almost 10 years ago, when their parents first abandoned them. The rest of the girls came down the stairs and into the kitchen to see the boys. At the sight if Mason, Luna blushes her pale cheeks turning a rosy red color, forcing her to look down. The girls dining room table was big enough to hold them all so they all say down together. Each boy sat with the girl his same age. Alex and June sat at one end if the table and began talking. "So, I saw your dad's car in your driveway earlier.." June began and Alex's face hardened, obviously a touchy subject. "Everytime he comes, it's because he had to, not because he loves us." Was all Alex cared to say about his father. June nodded understandingly. They kept talking and next to them Ember and Marcus were talking. Mmm. More than that, something like.... flirting? Ember and Marcus had a lot in common, they were big flirts, they were both the older twin, the more outgoing twin, and they both had the same bright green eyes."Well, Marcus and I are going to the living room to talk." Ember called out as June gave her a skeptical look. Ember raised her red eyebrows and smirked at her sister. June's eyes widened, her 15 year old sister sure didn't have a care in the world. Yet. Ember grabbed Marcus's wrist and pulled him away. Aria and Jayden seemed a bit harsh toward each other, unlike the rest of the them. Aria may only be 14 but she can sure a good punch. It seemed like Jayden crossed the line some way because in the blink of an eye Aria was just about strangling Jayden. Shocked by her sisters behavior, June leapt out of her chair and pulled Aria away, while Alex did the same to his brother "What were you thinking?!" Alex and June yelled at the same time. They looked up at each other bewildered that they chose the same words. They're eyes and locked and June suddenly got the butterflies. Focus June, she tried to tell herself. Her attention snapped back to Aria, "To your room, now!" She yelled at her younger sister. Jayden sank back down into his chair with his arms crossed. Unlike the others, Mason and Luna weren't taking to each other. They just sat there occasionally looking up at each other then back down to the floor. This wasn't going the way June expected the meeting to go. June looked over at Alex with apologetic eyes, "I'm sorry, she doesn't usually act like that." Her eyes unable to look anywhere but at Alex's eyes. She was in some kind of a trance. Not even four seconds later there was a loud crash coming from upstairs. Without a word June dashed up the stairs and into Aria's room. The window was wide open and Aria was no where to be seen. June's faced paled, Alex ran into her room and put a reassuring hand on her shoulder and whispered "We'll find her.'
