Katrina Grey has always steered clear out of drama's way seeing to the fact that she has a secret, and with the constant changes in society, that secret might emotionally and physically destroy her or save the lives of those who she loves.
But one...

''Care to elaborate?'' Nathan asks and I lower my head.
This is it. No backing out now. And so I begin.
''On a starry night, few months after Madison Frazier had delivered her first baby, Abigail she was upset. She was upset because the baby didn't show any signs of power and so she prayed to the Heavens for a heir to the throne of Veranthis.
On that starry night, the couple got what they wanted as twins, a boy with malicious golden eyes and the girl with black eyes having thunder and ice swirl around her fingertips. Azrael and Carmelliana or as many people called her Alliana.
Azrael was shown to be the next Archangel Of Death as he was immune to both the Finis and the Exilir. The girl was a different species, and no other immortal or mortal was like her or will be like her. She was special.
Blake, the father had never revealed to the world who the second born was and since Abigail didn't have powers she was ruled out from the possibility of the next king or queen. Father wanted us to decide who would be the next in line for the throne.
We grew up with no discriminations and like we had taken birth from the same mother but only the four of us knew the truth. Mom, dad, Azrael and me. So when, on my thirteenth birthday, Abby came to know, she became furious because she thought Azrael and I were like parasites, feeding on the love that was supposed to be given to her.
Abby stormed out of this house and went over to God knows where and all of us went to sleep. At midnight I woke up due to rattling of objects and so I followed the voice and came cross my parent's bedroom. When I slightly opened the door, I found Azrael with a knife hovering above my father's heart and blood was dripping from his eyes.
I panicked and anger took over me. Grabbing Azrael by the neck I threw him down these stairs and my parent's woke up. They tried they're best to stop me but I was way stronger. I almost killed my brother and when mom and dad held me back, I felt an energy running through my veins and my eyes fluttered close.
When they opened, Azrael was lying on the ground, unconscious and mom and dad's bodies were carved into the wall of this living room and Azrael woke up back to normal due to my screams. I had killed my parents.'' My eyes close at the memory and I hear my mom saying 'Stay strong,'
''The next morning when officials came to inspect the death of the Ruler of Veranthis and questioned us who killed them, my brother took it on him. They took his soul and trapped it in one of the Boxes and no one ever saw him again and E.M.S was given to Abby who came back in the morning. Hayden and Mia took us and became our guardians,'' I finish the first part of my story and take a deep breath. This is where things get difficult.
''A year after-''
''-There's more?'' Xavier asks astonished and I nod.
''Please continue,'' Jordan says.
''So as I was saying A year after I was out doing grocery shopping when I heard a sound, a voice a lot like my brother's in an alleyway. It was coming from a box with a flame drawn on the cover of it. I opened the box with a key, I had gotten on my 8th birthday. Turns out, it was the fire box.
I started opening these boxes in hopes to find my brother but I couldn't. When people started getting powers, the Society decided to inject them with Mercury because it was their weakness, just like how I get weak with Silverstone. So I made a rebellion and rebelled against the Society and stopped the unnecessary killing of innocent mortals. I caused it but I stopped it too. I stopped opening the Boxes when I was put in therapy sessions but I recently opened one and I found my brother. In the Water's Power Box.
Only one of this is left and if the wrong people get hold of it then there is a chance that the entire population might get wiped off this earth. Many other evil souls got away but I killed them all. With my own hands.
The reason,'' I continue after taking a deep breath. It's okay, ''The reason why elementae's have powers as the elements of nature is because-''
''-because you opened the Boxes. The powers in the Boxes escaped and got stuck to people,'' Ashton completes and I nod.
My eyes meet Xavier's and I see nothing. No emotion.
''You're the reason why Elisha had powers?'' Aiden whispers.
''You're the next queen of the Nine Realms?'' Indiana asks.
''You're the Protector Of The Souls?'' Jordan asks and I look at him, surprised.
''Yes, to all of them,'' I say when Xavier speaks up saying that I haven't answered his question yet as to why I kept all of this hidden from him to which my answer is simple, ''For your safety.''
''What do you mean?'' Nathan asks and I respond with, ''You'll see in a few days.''
