Though she has no idea how to control them, she has abilities. These abilities, she decided a long time ago, are dangerous. They've hurt people before, however unintentional. Seraphine hid them away inside of her, only now they've begun to brew, itching to be used. Almost eight years after the death of her father, Seraphine meets Them. The people who saved her life and taught her how to use her abilities to help others. She met people who were like her, people who had abilities. And she met Him.
