OCs 2 - the Sequel

Emily Finds Out

A few days ago...

Rachel was driving Emily home when Emily got cold and, innocently, turned on the heat. Rachel winced and her mind suddenly acted up. She abruptly swerved off the road and into a field. The car tumbled down the hill and they should've been crushed, but suddenly the inside of the car was covered in super solid ice. Emily blacked out as she hit her head against the window rather hard. Rachel took in a sharp breath as the car stopped upside down with only a bump or two on the outside, since the rigid ice kept the car in shape.
Rachel teared up, turning off the air. "Emily? I'm so sorry..."
As her tear hit the roof of the car, it became colder and the ice became more solid. Emily woke up and shivered, groaning.
"Rachel...? Are you-? ...What...?" Emily trailed off, looking around in wonder and becoming speechless. "...whoa..."
Rachel took quick breaths, beginning to panick. "Emily, I'm so sorry... I can explain, I-"
"It's okay... Do you have powers?" Emily asked.
Rachel blinked a few times. "Uh...why would you think that...?"
"My brothers - Jacob and Brandon - have powers. Jacob is super strong and Brandon can shapeshift and change his voice," Emily explained. "Others do too."
Rachel hesitated then nodded, relaxing slightly. "I do...but... I'm sick, Emily."
"What do you mean?" Emily frowned.
Rachel took a deep breath and sighed. "My powers..." She touched the ice, which slowly began to thaw. "Are ice and snow... So... If something is too hot... It makes my powers act up or my head. Summer is almost unbearable... That's why I always eat cold food and icecream... Because if I feel sick or slip up, I could expose myself... And... And my parents said Aspen's dad - Charles Prince - would get me if he ever found out I had powers and-"
"Whoa whoa whoa... Charles isn't going to 'get you,' Rachel," Emily interrupted. "If you feel sick, he can get you help. He's pretty nice."
"I don't know... I'll think about it. ...are you okay?" Rachel changed the subject.
"I mean, my head hurts, but I think I'll be okay," Emily shrugged.
"Okay..." Rachel said, taking a deep breath. "Then let's get you home... I'm so sorry..."
She used her power to flip the car back over then drove back onto the road. Rylee turned on the airconditioning instead and Rachel sighed in relief.
