I only found out when I was ten. I was very surprised. I wasn't even aware that their were people like me out there. And even if I had known, I would never have dreamed that I was one of them.
I think that the only reason I ever found out was because I have an odd habit of clicking. I do it all the time. Even now. I don't know why, but I just love the feeling of snapping my fingers to create that high pitch sound. Sometimes I do it softly, so all you can hear is the friction between my finger and thumb. It keeps me calm. But if it wasn't for this weird habit, I may never have found out.

The End & The Beginning
Oops! I accidentally summoned a demon! When a crazy man threatens her family if she doesn't kill the man holding them all hostage, Eve comes up with her own plan to keep her family safe. What she doesn't expect is that her sacrifice is only the beginning. Update: This began as a #WITWContest challenge, but became a mild obsession as I fell in love with it. It's still a one-shot but is now a not-so-short short-story with all the answers to the questions you had when reading that first chapter. How did she get there? Where did he take her? And so much more! All of my stories feature LGBTQ+ characters: in this novel the MC and demons are all pansexual, all demons/angels are intersex (closest definition possible since they're not human), and much of the supporting cast is also LGBTQ+.

Now You See Me... Now You Don't... ✔(Editing)
I looked at him in shock, "How do you know that?" "I know a lot of things about you, Ms. Prior, even things you don't know yourself." Excuse me? "From what you can do," he paused giving me a look before directing his gaze back at the field. "To your eye color. Your parents have blue ones, so I don't see how that works." What? He continued without question, "You are still a mystery to us, as you have never showed any signs of power before, so it's sort of confusing." He paused for a few seconds them said, "You're different; you have an ability. You're a Supernatural." "Ok, I really need to go so..." I began walking back, but he stuck out his arm to block me. And that's when it happened. Flames rose on his arms, lighting them on fire. I backed up, feeling the heat radiate off his arms. I was in utter shock, yet he looked relaxed, amused even. "What the hell are you?" I jumped back, and the fire went out, a smirk rising on his face. "I'm just like you." ***** Kayla Prior has always been a popular girl, and everyone looks up to her.

Protecting The Lead
'Who turned off the lights' 'Why does my head hurt '. I grimace in pain as I try to open my eyes. At first every thing is blurry but it soon starts to clear up and - 'Wow! Is this heaven? Am I dead' I wondered as I stared in complete awe at the blonde blue -eyed angel in front of me. "Hey! You're awake" ~What! Leaving me dazed and confused, the angel rushes off calling out to something or someone, I'm not quite sure. I try to focus on the sound of her voice but the ringing in my ear coupled with the pain makes it impossible. 'Wait! I know that voice. Isn't that -' ARRRGGGHH! A mind numbing pain hits me as I begin to recall fragments of memories. My scream seems to have attracted the attention of the angel who runs back to me muttering words that I cannot hear, but it seems this time she is not alone. I feel myself slipping slowly back into unconsciousness as I take one last look at the blonde angel. "You - you saved me" I believe that it was at this moment I promised myself I would protect Esmeralda - no matter what!
The Rubber Band Theory
After Tadashi and Hiro have a close call, they discover they have abilities they wouldn't have dreamed were possible. When they discover that the fire that almost took Tadashi's life was intentional, they start on a journey that will change their lives forever. ------------------------------------ Some say that the mind is like a rubber band; it stretches and grows with use, never returning to the state it began in, and like a rubber band, it can grow brittle and hard with disuse. People tell stories of individuals with extraordinary abilities, abilities that extend with the use of their minds: Pyrokinesis, Telekinesis, Cyrokinesis, Pathokinesis, Telepathy, and any number of other abilities. But every story has a grain of truth, doesn't it? People have long forgotten that little grain of truth; there were some people who truly possessed abilities of those calibers. But when you leave a rubber band alone for too long, it shrinks and snaps easily. And like the forgotten truth, the rubber band was lost in time. Until now. *DISCLAIMER*: I do not own Big Hero 6 or any of the characters in it. This is a retelling of the movie with a twist. All credit beyond my own spin belong to Marvel and Disney.Complete
Aether's Legacy | dnf
"You're... not afraid?" His voice was barely a peep, shy gaze half-turning away but still watching him out of the corner of his eye. His hand instinctively reached for the pendant at his chest, tips of his finger grazing the crystal and ready to grasp it, somewhat afraid of the answer that would come next. "Why would I be afraid? You're like the coolest person I've met so far! Plus-" He poked his side, and George squeaked, jumping back from the ticklish sensation. "You're so scrawny and small. I'd never be afraid of you!" George never wanted to be one of them. But at eight years old, he discovered he was a Psychic and he was committed into a faraway island academy for Extramundanes. Despite the difficulty of making friends when even other super-powered classmates are afraid of you, George finds a tight-knit group of best friends who aren't afraid to stand up for him. Yet with age comes his developing abilities, and as he grapples for control, the disappearance of one of his best friends leads George and his friends on a runaway road trip to rescue him. However, they fail to realize their true adversary is the threatening power searing inside one of their own. --- ! So many people may not know this story and all so I figured I'd post it here.
