Lydia Stronghold always felt so different from her family, her powers weren't like her parents. Her powers came from their aunt who died saving a town. Lydia felt more like a spawn of death than a born hero. Now it's their first year of high school...

The Hero Track or Loser Track?
The question ran in my head. Will I be noticed and treated fair? Or Will I be outcasted again? "Hey Ginger! Come on!" Coach Boomer yells at me. "I'm a strawberry blonde, not ginger," I snap. "Just show me your powers," he says. I scoff but I give my friends a scared look. I walk up on the stage, and everyone was staring. Oh god... okay here we go....
The voices come with only one good thing is that I can use it as a weapon. I scream blastling Boom into the bleachers, whoch startled everyone. Bloom gives up and nods impressed. "Screamer. Hero!" I was shock but didn't question it. Leila doesn't show her powers so that kicks her to sidekick with Zach.
The bell rings startling me. "All right. We'll pick it up right lunch. Starting with you," Bloom points to Will, who had the most scared face I've ever seen. We exit and find out our way to the lunch room, my friends and brother compalin, well more Zach compalins about not being a Hero as i get lunch. I didnt care if I was a Hero or a Sidekick. Hell being just being normal would be nice! I take a deep breathe and try to calm myself. I find an empty table away from others, I didn't want to be with my brother or my friends. Knowing they'll be else where when I'm alone, it hurts. I silently poked at my food, when a large shadow blocked the sun. I sigh, oh great......
I lock up and my heart stop, this hot guy was standing there. Oh whoa... "What are you doing at my table," he gritted through his teeth, oh hell no!
"Excuse me? I don't see your name on this table and last time I checked no one was sitting here," I snap glaring, he held his head and groan a bit. I stop as he looks at me. "I'm Warren," he says sitting across from me, holding out his hand. "Lydia," I shake his hand only to pull away. "Ow! Wow you're hot," I comment then realize what I say, regret it. "Thanks," he smirks. "Not like that," I snap. "You mean like this," and his hand bursts into flames. "Yea..." I say.
"What's your powers?" He asks glaring very now and then behind me. "Voices," I answer," the worst of them all." I sigh. "What to do you mean voices?" He asks. "Banshee, wailing woman," I say in a duh voice. He nods thinking," And you think that is worst power?" He asks. "Yes! Because of them, I was outcasted. I was bullied, I bet my own twin thinks I'm crazy!" I shout at him, no one listening thank god....
He kinda just stares then I get up and leave. I'm done with everything. I don't feel good and go to the nurse as she checked me out. "Mmmm yep, you have a fever. Why don't you go home and rest?" She offers, I was about say yes please when I just scream. The nurse covers her ears and the window shatters. I stop. "Oh I'm so so soooo sorry," I say over and over again. She simply chuckles and says,"Your father kicked me right into that wall and your aunt, she did the same thing you did." I chuckle neruously.
As a limping Will walks in and the nurse checks on him. Then we go through the whole thing where Will may not even get powers, isn't that just great....
When I did get home, I didn't bother telling them I was a hero. I was tried and exhausted. And dad already excpeted me and Will to be heros. Dad takes Will down to the secret anthem. After they leave Mom walks up to me and feels my head. "Nurse called me, you're warm. Take a shower then go to bed," she says. I nod. She smiles, kisses my forehead and then walks off. I do as I'm told and I take a shower which was amazing. I get ready and I'm snuggle into bed.
Just as I'm about to go into sleep, I hear my door open and someone walk in and sit on my bed looking at me. "Goodnight my angel," dad kisses me on my forehead then gets up and walks out, clsoeing the door behind as he leaves and I slip into dream land.....
