His piercing yellow eyes stared into my only families’ eyes contemplating weather to kill them now or later, my mother, father and little sister were all held up by an invisible force against the wall. I was behind the sofa and the tall, bulky man that held my family had not seen me yet, my father’s eyes were knowing, telling me that everything would be all right for me, but he never let me know if it would be all right for them.

“WHERE IS SHE TELL ME OR YOUR LITTLE PRESIOUS HERE” he pointed to my younger sister Cally “WONT SEE TOMORROWS SUNLIGHT”

“YOU LEAVE HER OUT OF THIS, SHE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS” my father yelled back

They fall into silence again, if this will be the last time I see my family again I need to say goodbye. I stood up walked over to the man tapped him on the back, my mother’s eyes became wide and my father was shouting at me to run, but I blocked them all out. I concentrated all my energy on the heat around me, I blinked a few times and my hand caught alight with bright vibrant fire, my hair was next and my soft light brown eyes turned to a electric fiery orange. This was the last thing I could ever do for my family.

“oh look what we have here little miss hunter, so you are real the fire element the last of a generation and maybe for ever unless this little 10 year old can save one dyeing person from evil himself she will not live to see her 11TH birthday let’s hope our little immortal here can save the plant and her family” and then the unthinkable happened his hand raised and I heard the defining sound of my father’s neck snap and the screaming cry of my mother, if only she knew that he was not going to see the next morning , the screaming cry of my mother was sort lived as her neck as well was broken, now it was my sisters time for the shock of everything to come crashing down on her. Quite literary, the roof of our once beautiful home was ripped off the walls and was flung at her capturer, I was surprised how could a 6 year old do that but you know when both of your parents are killed something does snap.

I grabbed her hand and we ran, we ran away from the place of so many memories, from the lying bodies of our parents, from our lives and from evil himself. It was our time to shine, mine and my sisters we were going to win and fight till the end our bond was stronger than any other friend ship, any other siblings we were the same person we felt each other’s sadness and happiness.

As we ran I knew that he didn’t know that I had just saved someone from him my sister may have helped but that exact moment I grabbed her hand the curse was lifted I was going to survive to see my birthday and I was going to survive to see my sister and I grow up.

We both knew that one day we would met with him again and that more people we love would be lost, but I guess that the price for loving people. Having to let them go when it is their time to shine and take the stage.

My alarm clock woke me from the dream of that one night that changed my life. I live with my auntie and my sister now, our powers have grown and so has our age I am 14 and my sister Cally is 10, we live on a quiet street in a quiet suburb in a quiet state but I really don’t mind it it’s nice sometimes but the thing that wrecks it is that my sister hates it and she won’t shut up about how lonely it is, if only she knew it is much more lonely for me at school.

“Imogene, are you up yet, you have 10 minutes to get ready” my auntie called from the bottom of the stairs. If you blinked you would have missed me I was so fast out of that bed, a shower would have to wait I need to hurry up and not be late.

Just in time as the bus pulled into the parking lot of the place some people call school, but what I call hell. And there she is Miss Queen. B herself Lucy and her friends that follow her around like lost puppies, with her hands all over some new arm accessory. As I walked past she whispered into his ear and they all burst up laughing, keeping my head down low was my thing, I was like a really shy turtle not wanting to poke their head out and explore the world.

Today started off as nothing different and it ended all the same way but when I got home it was another story.
