Fire and Ice

I never thought about my life being extraordinary. I was just a normal kid who went to a normal school and had a normal life. I thought my life was ordinary, but then my life completely changed. You see, a couple of weeks ago my brother and I found out that we had powers. He’s fire and I’m ice, we also found out that the people that took our mother are now after us. I should probably introduce myself first. My name is Maxine Floyd, but I go by Max. If you call me Maxine, I will kill you. I am fourteen years old. My twin brother, Denver, is a complete idiot, but I’ll get to that later. When I was twelve years old our house was broken into and my mother went missing. My father then decided to go after her, but before he left he gave us each a necklace with a charm. Mine was silver and my brother’s was gold. He told us when the time came that the necklaces would help us; they would change us He left right after that, I never saw my parents again. I decided, after that, to leave home with Denver. We knew it wasn’t safe anymore so we packed some bags and moved halfway across the country to go into hiding. On the way there, Denver and I got into a fight and our necklaces began to glow. There was an explosion and I black out. When I wake up I’m surrounded by a wall of ice. My hair and skin is pure white and my eyes are now a crystal blue. I sit up and look at my brother. His hair is bright orange and his eyes are dark red. Just like me, he’s surrounded by a wall, except his is made of flames. Fire and ice, that’s what we are, two kids with extraordinary powers and ordinary lives. The only thing left to do now, is tell our story.

The story of fire and ice.
