Three years earlier

The two girls were running. Running from 'The Army'. That's what they had named it. They were different and couldn't help it. They were strange. They had powers. They were looking for a boy. A boy with a different symbol. With a phoenix. Like their symbols. One with ice; the other with animals. Ice was handy until it got melted. The animal when they got hungry.

"Icegirl," called one of the girls.

"Yes, Animal. What is it," asked Icegirl.

"Aren't we supposed to go undercover at this school for a while," responded Animal.

"Yes, sadly"

They two stood in silence then ran some more. The found a house. A house they thought was deserted. Icegirl make a small key that hardened fast. Then unlocked the door. What she saw when she walked in was a girl. About the age of thirteen. They were both fifteen, Icegirl and Animal. This girl was peaceful. She was moving in her sleep on the couch then Icegirl saw it. It was a claw. The symbol of 'The Army'. She looked too young to know what the symbol was. Icegirl had never been this scared. She was scared even worse when her body began to heat up. Icegirl started to feel weak she had to run. She looked over at Animal. Animal understood. They set off until they finally realized who that girl might be. They started to go back to that house. They noticed that the house was more defended this time. More fire. More danger. Icegirl looked at Animal scared and worried. They then saw the girl walk out of the house wide eyed. She clearly had no clue what was happening.
