Prolog
“Seannah, Honey come on in here and help your brother.” I drop my toys and follow my mom into the room. “Hey Sea can you freeze these for us?” My brother sets down the meat he and dad went in hunt for earlier. I nod and focus on the meat putting my hands out as ice shoots from my fingers, It only takes a second and the meat is completely frozen solid. “Good job Sea!!! You're getting so good with your powers.” Jason runs over and hugs me. I may only be 7 but my powers are strong. I giggle as he picks me up and swings me around. “Okay okay kids it's time for dinner.” Jason sits me down and we walk over to the table, as my mom lays the food out on the table and we all dig in. “So Dean, how was yours and Jasons day?” They both start talking about their day, my dad and brother both can control stones and they own a stone company that deals in rubies and diamonds. My mothers power is fire so it's very odd I have ice but my parents never make me feel bad about it. “And how was your visit in town today Seannah?” I chew the food in my mouth before I answer. “It was good.” I say and hope someone will change the subject. Jason looks at me. “So none of the people picked on you?” Jason pushes and I give him the stink eye. I see my dad set his drink down. “Seannah..are people picking on you in town?” I give jason one last look then turn to my dad. “Do not lie to me Seannah.” My father's voice is low and threatening. “I wouldn't call it really picking on me..but they do make some comments every once in a while.” I say giving a half truth. “I'll handle it tomorrow. They won't be picking on you anymore.” My fathers voice is extremely lethal and I shiver.
After dinner my bullies never got brought up again and we did our usual family bonding time. Not too long after that everything changes. “Someone is coming up to the house.” My father straightens in his seat. My mom turns towards the door. “Kids go to your rooms now.” “I'm not leaving mom.” Jason replies, “Yes you are, you're going to watch your sister.” He goes to argue but my dad shoots him a glare. “Yes sir.” Jason and I run to our rooms as quick as we can. We make it to Jason's room quicker than ever and I can see Jason focusing. He is 10 years older than me and can focus on his powers much better than me. “There are 3 people, I'm guessing men, they walk heavy.” He says and I know he is feeling the vibrations in the ground. We sit for 15 minutes until I see Jason relax. “They are leaving.” I relax too at his words. It isn't long before our parents are in his room. “Seannah we have to get you to safety.” My parents grab me and take me away. Away from everything, away from my life.
