The Six Elements

†

Ignis:

I had woken up that morning to a fire in my hair , I screamed, and the maid had rushed in with water to douse me from head to toe. That was the day I learned about what I could do, I was terrified, my sisters were probably too.

Every morning I wake up and think about that day. This morning when I wake up it's even worse, then I realize something, it's my fourteenth birthday! I run downstairs and eat my breakfast like it would be my last meal on this earth. When my sisters come down they all look excited, when most people see us they can't tell we're related, I have bright cherry red hair and caramel eyes, Caeli has naturally silver hair and almost white-blue eyes, Voda has sea blue eyes and hair that has a natural blue tint, Akull has ice blue eyes and platinum blonde hair, and Arguere has bright yellow hair and almost-orange eyes, we look almost nothing alike. Everyone thinks that our hair and eyes make us unique, nope, it's our powers that do. I snicker and make a small flame appear in Voda's hair. She puts it out, glares at me, and makes the water out of the sink splash on my head. I look at Caeli and beg her silently to dry me, she creates a small wind that dries me off and I smile. I start to throw a fork at Akull but she freezes it in midair "your no fun" I know I sound like a child, but I honestly don't care. Arguere looks up in time for the fork to freeze and shoots a little bolt of electricity at it, it shatters and our father comes in "girls, stop using your powers so recklessly" I hate it when we are scolded. He doesn't even seem to care that it is our birthday, he's looking at a picture of a girl who has hair that can't seem to decide on a color and different colored eyes, one blue one yellow, she looks almost as peculiar as we do. I look at the newspaper and see the girl again, she is going to go to our school, interesting. I grab my pack and look at my sisters "I'm going to head to school now so I don't have any excuse to be late" all of them look at me weird and dad finally acknowledges that I'm here "bye Ignis, be sure to tell the new girl,Amandla, happy birthday for me" I sigh heavily and head out of the house. As I walk to school I trip on a baby's toy hammer, which i promptly kick out of the way.when i finally get to school I want to scream, so instead I start a small fire in a trash can near me, this slightly improves my mood and I walk into school, just in time for the homeroom bell. When I walk in I see all of my sisters sitting down and that "Amandla" girl sitting in the front of the class , nose in a book, and hair falling in her face. During class people try to get her attention while she reads, nobody can. Eventually I get tired of seeing if others can grab her attention and I light the corner of the page shes reading on fire, but it was promptly put out with the water from the bowl next to her, no one notices this except me,she turns her face to mine and I can tell she knows that I did it.
