i could hear sirens coming to my burning down house in the distance. i coughed from the smoke building up. Storm, as she states her name, assist me up and lead me outside. I could feel her motherly affection and she guided me. "Stay here child" she told me as i stood in my beaten up lawn. Storm bravely ran back into my house and lifted my Dad up over her sholders. I was very baffled by the weight she could muster at the sight of her lean body. She painstakingly placed my Dad on our lawn, i rushed over to him in a huff and hugged him greatly. "Ruby listen to me, your changing growing into a very unique being, one of many heights and power." Charles explained to me. "You must leave your past and join us to keep you from harm and learn how to control your abilities." Charles continued. I glanced at my Dad who lay unconscious on our lawn. I couldent just leave my life here, I couldent leave my Dad. I watched our house go up in flames as a fire truck and ambulances pulled up to our home. All of a sudden, everything was still. Nothing moved around me. There was no sound of any kind, no movement in the trees our cars. I could hear a pounding voice in my head, sounding to be Charles voice. 'You mustn't fear child, i have simply froze time to have a independent conversation with you, and only you. You will be in great danger if you stay here, people will not understand our ways, they will be alarmed and frightened. You must come with me at once to a safe school, were you will learn to control and have power over your talents' In a mere flash, time came back to reality, the firemen rushed into our home and began hosing it down. What does he mean im changing into new hights and power? Does he mean mutants? I mean ive heard of them in the news and around school but i never realized it was closer to me than i thought. I cant just up and leave! I mean my life is crap, all i have is aurora, my dad, and the fictional charters in my books. I wouldent really be leaving anything behind, but i couldet ever imagine leaving my dad, im all that he has. I stood myself up and looked at my Dad who was being carried away by a Ambulance that just pulled off. I ran into the Ambulance and walked to my Dads unconscious body. I gave him a kiss in his black shaggy hair and i felt tears stream down my face and onto him. "good bye Dad, I love you." i muttered into his hair. "Whatcha doing babe?" the doctor asked me checking my dads pulse. "Staying or leaving?"

"L-leaving" i answered whispering through my tears. I jumped out of the Ambulance and watched what was left of my past burn to ashes. The number of Fire trucks and Ambulances drove away from my lawn and i felt my whole life as i knew it drive away with them. I dropped to me knees and buried my face in my hands sobbing harder than ever. A ring of soft ice formed around me causing little snowflakes to form in my hair. All of a sudden a fire explosion rose from my house as storm helped me up and into a black car.
