Storm

The Day

Authors Note: So this is my first fan fiction that I have written by myself. It is a work in progress so please let me know what you think! I present to you, Storm!

I woke up to the sounds of birds. Oh it's just my alarm clock. I thought. I whipped out my phone to check the time.  Why am I waking up at 5:00? Oh no, is it today?! I checked my calendar.  It is today! I jumped out of bed, whipped on a sky blue top and black leggings, pulled my platinum blonde hair into a French braid, put on white sneakers, and I ran to a table and grabbed a slip of paper. I double checked what it said.

Name: Robin Storm

Age: 11

Power: Flight and electrokinesis

I quietly ran downstairs, being careful not to wake my two year old sister Luna. I found my dad sitting on the couch his light blue hair neatly comed. He was wearing a polo shirt and nice pants for work. His company employs heroes. His grey eyes looked worn out.

"The bus is outside. Grab a water bottle and good luck!" he said. 

I grabbed my water bottle, gave him a kiss, and raced out the door. A big, white van sat outside. The door automatically opened when I shut my house door. Cool, I thought. I hopped inside. I counted nineteen other kids. I sat in the only open seat. The door closed. The van was silent. I looked down at the floor. A silver locket hung around my neck. I got a little teary eyed. I opened the locket. On the left and right side of the locket, a video of a woman with ombré blue and white hair was holding a two year old girl, who was laughing. In the middle was an image of the same woman with a white shirt and light blue pants. Her bright blue eyes sparkled. Her face was captured in mid laugh. Wish me luck Mom. I had a sudden flashback to the worst day of my life.  Saturday, December 4, 2037.

 It was early in the morning. I just woke Luna up. She was one at the time. I sat down on the carpet and grabbed her blocks. Then I heard my dad walk into the room and turn on the TV. Mom was off doing hero work and would be home this afternoon. I heard shouting on the TV. 

"What is this?!" someone said. "Oh no, we have a hero down."

  A video of a woman flying in the air appeared. She summoned lightning. I gasped. She only had a tiny bit of this power, but she sent at least fifty thousand volts of electricity at the villains. She collapsed onto the floor. 

My dad started sobbing. I muffled a scream. It was my mom. I froze, filled with shock. I almost laughed. Ten year olds don't lose their moms! That only happens in stories! Then I was filled with anger. Luna was babbling and playing with blocks. I was suddenly encased in lightning. I shouted. I didn't know what was going on. I rose into the air. Lightning shot everywhere. Then I collapsed. I still remember my dads face. It was full of terror. I cried. He hugged me and I pushed him away and ran to my room. I didn't want him to get hurt.

I jerked back to reality. The van slowed to a stop. The doors opened. I grabbed my water bottle and gasped. Ten gigantic buildings were in a circle. In the center were about one hundred kids in lines. I made it. I can't believe it, I thought, I am trying to get into one of the best hero schools in America. I walked towards the kids and got in line behind a sign that said First Years. I sipped my water. A girl with ombré rainbow hair stood in front of me. She turned around and smiled. She had a pale complexion, green eyes, and freckles.

   " Sorry to bother you, but you look a little stressed." she said

"It's okay, I guess I am a little nervous." I admitted.

"My name is Anastasia Lovely, but you can call me Ana. It's nice too meet you." she said.

  I shook her hand. "Robin Storm." I replied. 

"Nice to meet you Robin. Did your parents go here?" 

I nodded. The line moved forward a little.  "So did mine." Ana said.

"Do you have any siblings?" I asked her, "I have a little sister named Luna."

"I have an annoying twin sister named Brooke. She's a couple spots ahead of us." Ana pointed to a girl with ombré blue hair that was obviously curled with a curling iron. 

After five minutes of talking, I suddenly felt something against my back. I tripped forward and turned around. A pale girl with white and gold wings and honey blonde hair stood behind me. 

"I am so sorry! Are you OK?!" she said.

"I'm fine," I assured her. "Are you a first timer?" I then realized that was a dumb question. Of course she was a first timer! The line was for first years!

"Yeah, but my older sister went here a couple years ago." she told me.

"Well, my name is name is Robin Storm and this is Ana Lovely." Ana waved.

"My name is Angelica Hale." Angelica smiled. "Sorry, I am a little clumsy sometimes."  Suddenly, a tall woman with brunette hair shouted into a megaphone at the front of the line. I jumped. 

"Okay everyone, you will be entering soon, but first, I will split you into groups of twenty five to take the placement exams. A teacher will lead you inside and you will sit at the table with a folder that has your name on it. You will begin the exam. While taking the test, you will be called outside to have your power examined. In the folder are three tests and a survey to help us decide what you will eat if you make it. These test are not a 'piece of cake'. They will determine if you will make it into this school.  Got it?" Everyone nodded.

 "Okay, Group One, Hunter Smiths, Robin Storm, Benjamin Jones, Sadie Richards, Jetson Morales, Anastasia Lovely, Parker Stetson, Violet Smalls, James Mustafa, Abbigal Harrington, Anthony Lang, Sarah Hellion, George Stacey, Daisy Yakimoto, Mark Chang, Natalie Starr, Matthew Washington, Emma Jones, William Maddison, Angelica Hale, Brookelyn Lovely, Chloe Hoover, Jonathan Graff, Jackson Mulligans, and Emily Lee will be accompanied by Ms. Yeltsinov" 

Angelica, Ana, and I walked to the front with a bunch of other kids and formed a line behind a short Asian woman with long black hair, brown eyes, and a silk dress. 

"Follow me to Building One." she said in a sugar coated voice We walked to one of the giant buildings. The inside was a room with about fifty desks in a circle. I found my seat in the back of the room next to Hunter Smiths and Jonathan Graff. I sat down.

"You may start the tests now." Ms Yeltsinov said. I opened the folder and began the test.

A.N. So this chapter was a little fast paced so I need to slow it down a little. I wanted this chapter to be mostly about Robin's past and main friends.
