I'll Get Through This

Chapter 1

I look up, from making cookie dough balls, at the full-length mirror we have on our kitchen door. I scrunch my nose at my appearance the purple is starting to wash out of my hair so you can see the blonde peeking through, the couple random zits I have on my face, and my shortness of 5'2". I guess the only thing I remotely like about my self is my eyes, from far away they look hazel, but up close they are green. 

I zone back into reality when I hear the oven timer go off.  I quickly to take the cookies out of the oven when I hear the door open, "Heck yeah! Keep cooking like this and we might consider not selling ya!" I hear my brother's friend, Adam, yell.

"Leave the cookies on the counter to cool, ya idiot!" I yell at him as I slap his hand with a spatula.  

I look up at his freckled face, fair skin, dark brown hair, green eyes and 6'4" frame, "Why you gotta be so mean?" He wines while coddling his hand

I look over at my brother's other friend Mitchal and I'm met with hazel eyes, blond hair, and 6'7" frame, He shakes his head, "Why don't you ever listen to her? You do this every time she bakes." 

"Well, maybe it's because her cookies are amazeballs!" We all chuckle

"Leah!" I hear my twin, Lee, yell.

"I am in the kitchen with your two idiot friends!" I receive cookie dough in the face, courtesy of Adam, as Lee walks through the door.

I wipe it off and turn and take another batch of cookies out of the oven. "So sis-" I cut him off by slamming the oven door shut. I look at him through the corner of my eye to see his dirty blond hair and 6'4" frame, I also smell his cologne that he basically bathes in. 

I look over at him and smile sweetly. He gives me a small glare, "Well.. um.. sis.. you see I kinda need you to-"

"No. I told you a million times I am not getting involved with this stupid gang! We are a couple months from turning 18." I put my hand on my hip, "Then a couple months after that I graduate. Then guess what? A couple months after THAT I am going out of state to college! I do NOT want to get caught with this whole gang getup! So NO! Mother, father, our uncle's dying wish were the same thing, for me to NOT get involved with the gang. Their whole reason for hiding that we are related was so some freakazoid doesn't come and try to get me to marry their gross child so our bloodlines can merge! So NO!" I take a couple needed deep breaths 

"Our parents died when we were ten!" He grips his hair, "Our uncle when we were 15! And you know what?! I haven't asked you-"

"Oh yes you have! Don't give that-"

"Arg! Why won't you just help me!" 

I place my hand on the counter to steady myself, "Hmm maybe because I am not hot enough to be used as bait!" 

"Leah.." Mitchal whispers placing an ice cube on my hand. I look down at my hands to see them turning red and steam coming off of the ice cube. 

I close my eyes and take a couple of deep breaths. I can still hear Lee yelling at me, but I can't comprehend what is being said. I can hear my heart beating and I can feel the heat coming off of my body. 

"ADAM RELEASE ME FROM THIS MIND CONTROL HOLD! I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL MAKE YOU PAY!" I look up to see Lee frozen in place, I whip my head around to try and find Adam. He is standing next to the oven with his hand, palm out, pointing at Lee. 

"Mitchal.." I whisper, "Turn the oven off." 

I hear the beep indicating the oven has been turned off. I start to feel the ground sway beneath me, I put my hand out to steady myself, but I can't feel anything. I tip back and right before I collapse, Mitchal is cradling me in his arms. He has one hand on my face, I can feel the coolness he is emitting from his hands. I lazily move my head so I can see his face, his mouth is moving but I can't hear a word. 

Mitchal looks up at something and pales, I slowly turn my head to see Lee on top of Adam. Lee's hands are turning bright red as he pushes them into Adam's face, I can see the skin starting to come off. Without thinking I whip my hand at Lee and he flys off of Adam. 

"Lee... I... I... am sorry... Leah.. she was turning red... she lo..looked bad... ow.. please heal.. help this hurts.. my face.." I can hear Adam's voice flowing through my head

I slowly sit myself up and crawl to him, Mitchal stays by my side the whole time. I lay my head on Adam's stomach and put a hand on his chest, I close my eyes and picture Adam healthy again. I can feel the energy coming out of my palm and healing him. 

"Leah don't waste your powers on him." I hear Lee spat from somewhere on the other side of the kitchen

I cough and sit up, keeping my palm on Adam's chest. I can feel Mitchal follow my every move. I watch as Adam's skin is knitting itself back together and the blood goes back into his body. It feels surreal, having these powers.

I remember when we where younger all of the clans, I call them gangs, got along. We all helped each other and everyone got along, but when we were ten something happened. Our clan use to be the strongest one in the world, my father was the ruler of our kind, but the night of Lee and I's tenth birthday someone from the Wotcher clan set fire to our house. Having powers everyone escaped, but once we got outside they sprayed a gas the somehow neutralized everyone's powers. Our parents picked us up and ran, I watched over my mother's shoulder as Mitchal's parents and sister were murdered, then I saw Adam's father get stabbed and his mother and brother got traumatic deaths. I screamed for my parents to stop because I saw Adam and Mitchal grab each other and try to run. 

My mother and father stopped and set us down, they then yelled for Adam and Mitchal to run to us, at the time they were both 13. Someone used some form of mind control and they got stuck in place, I started to scream, I screamed until I could no longer produce sound from my lungs. Then I felt this power surge through me, I looked over at Lee and I could tell he felt it too. We both put our hands out in front of us and fire emerged from them. This type of fire produced by our soul, it is worse than cursed flame, I made a dome around Mitchal and Adam. I watched my brother's flame dance around, it seemed to be looking for something, then as if prompted by the air it slashed a man across the chest.

I could sense something moving inside my dome and I released it. Mitchal and Adam ran to us, Mitchal gave me a huge hug and kissed the top of my head, Adam, on the other hand, patted my shoulder. We all looked over at my parents and they looked pleased. 

"Mitchal, protect my daughter with all of your might. I place you as her protector for as long as you both shall live." my mother spoke and I could feel a weird zap were mitchal had his hand on my back.

"Adam I ask of you to protect my son and help protect my daughter, seeing how we can't give men protectors I ask you to watch over them." My father commanded.

We all nodded, "Now run, Leah, Lee, Mitchal, and Adam. Run!" I couldn't move. 

I watched my parents run back into the fight, I screamed and tried to run after them but Mitchal picked me up, "Not now Lala. We have to go!" 

I tried to push him away, but he threw me over his shoulder and ran. I cried as hit his back, I cried as I kicked my legs. It was no use, he still ran. I looked up and through my blurry tears I watched my mother get torn in half and my father got pushed on his knees. I screamed for Mitchal to stop but he didn't, I lost sight of the clearing before I witnessed my father's death.
