Isla Sterling always felt like she wasn't normal. Ever since she was a kid, she'd always see things, things no one else seemed to see or bother about. She'd always blocked it off, brushed it off as a trick of the light or fatigue. She had to. Otherwise, she'd start to think she was going insane. It made her feel like she wasn't human.
But one day, in the park, when she sees a face she swears she knows from somewhere, she can't ignore it or the curiosity it brings.
Little did Isla know, chasing after familiar faces would lead her down a path she never thought possible.
Because yeah, Isla isn't normal.
And she most definitely isn't human.

The only other one that can. He was always afraid of his power drowns it out by getting high. But they were kind of her only friends minus her brother and their more dangerous sister. 5 and her liked to race each other the only difference is, is that as smart as he is she's a better jumper. But she has the most in common with 7. They're both seen as too dangerous and her powers like her sister's are awaken and work because of their emotions. She's more dangerous though because she can mirror her siblings powers. She trained herself her dad never cared about her. He always cared about his non biological children more. And he only cared enough about them to train them but he didn't care about any of them. She was born the same day they were and the same age. She wasn't born the same way though. It was more like a science experiment. He gave a serum to get the one person he trusted to have her and made it timed to the day.
