You think it's all fun and games don't you? How nice it must be to have these stupid powers? You must think that flying is a gift, or burning things with your eyes or your hands is pretty cool. Of course, that's now normal people think. Normal people have nothing to be afraid of. Sure, the taxes and whatever everyone worries about. But you don't have these powers. You don't have to worry about being hunted by the stupid government. No worries. Just live your normal life.

 

You Normals don't understand how easy your life is. I wake up every day praying I didn't set the bed on fire, or my hair didn't catch on fire in the middle of the night and my whole room is enflamed burned down. At least you never have to ask your housemate who has the power to fix and repair things (which actually comes in handy do not let that power fool you) to come and fix your room. You Normals have it easy. Yet, you have no clue how easy.

 

My name is Hayley. I don't really have a last name. None of us do, actually. We're just called by our first names. I am a person who posseses powers. There is no word for us. We just simply possess powers, no big deal. But of course, to Normals, we are 'monsters', 'freaks', 'AHHH GET AWAY FROM ME I HAVE A GUN!'. I am probably around 16 years old? That's another thing. Time doesn't mean anything for us. So, I could be 17, but I just say I'm 16. 

 

I am one of those who possess powers. I am literally fire. I appear human,yes, but I can burn things with my hands, I can concentrate on an item and set it on fire, My hair turns into fire when I get mad. Seems cool? Yeah not really. 

 

There are six of us in this house that are in hiding. Juliet, who can control minds, Ike, who is the one who repairs everything but he can also destroy anything, Osiris, who controls water, Rosaline, who can make anyone fall in love with each other or our of love (she's basically cupid kinda), Danny, who has telekenisis, and Ashton, who can change emotions and see the futute (yes two powers), and of course, me.

 

The girls (Juliet, Osiris, Rosaline and I) are all -we suspect- 16. While the boys (Danny and Ike) are 17 -we suspect. The youngest is Ashton who is 11. 

 

We think of each other has humans. But Normals beg to differ. Something about being able to move things with their mind, or setting something on fire without any matches seems to be very scary. Who knows why? 

 

We're all equal in this house. Everyone does something to contribute our healthly living. 

 

Shopping is a pain though. The person we send to shop is Rosaline because at least all she can do is make people fall in love and people don't pay attention to that kind of thing. And of course I cook (girl with fire right?)

 

Anyway enough with the casualities. It's time for you Normals to realize how difficult it really is.

Fire

Why is it so warm in here? Why is everything burning? God it's so hot, but why? I squirmed, but it only got warmer. "HAYLEY!" I heard a distant yelling coming from the side. But waking up would be hard, and I didn't want to-

 

"HAYLEY!" I heard again this time water splashing me. I screamed, sprinting up before realizing why it was so warm. "Oh shit," I muttered, looking around through tired eyes. My desk was now soaking wet, with scorches on the side. My mattress was kind of safe, after burning the bed post down five times, I decided to just put the mattress on the ground. My walls were turning black, almost burning down. I reached to touch my jet black hair and realized that it was fiery hot, not that it actually bothered me.

 

Osiris and Ike stared at me, Osiris still controlling a ball of water. "My hair is on fire isn't it," I coughed. "Very, it's like... red," Ike said, getting ready to repair my room. "Want me to put it out?" Osiris asked, raising her hand. Early in the morning, I could not control my powers, so I sighed and nodded, preparing for the water. Soon enough water was dripping from my head down my face, making all the flames go away. I could even smell the smoke.

 

"Better?" I asked, opening my eyes. "You have black eyes and black hair again so yes," Ike smiled. I yawned, running my fingers through my hair, feeling it cooled down miraculously. "Want me to repair?" Ike smirked, wiggling his fingers. I laughed, "Okay, I'll make breakfast," I yawned while getting out of bed. "You got it,"  He laughed, "Hey Osiris watch-"

 

I left before he finished that sentence. Osiris was the newest person in the group so we were all still explaining things to her. At first we didn't know what to tell her since even we didn't know what was happening. Sometimes I get worried that things were wrong with us.

 

But we're like any other family... Except none of us are related. Family isn't blood in my opinion, rather than in the heart. Which is why I take care of these people. None of us have families. We were all abandoned once we showed our powers. But who needs them when you got a bunch of freaks with powers? YAY.

 

I am always in charge of breakfast, and Danny always helps me. So it was no surprise that when I walked in the kitchen I could smell pancakes. "Morning Danny," I greeted him, opening the refrigerator to grab some eggs. "Morning, Hayles. Your hair has a tinge of red in it, did you burn up your room again?" He continued to cook. Danny was always the truthful one. Even if it was better to lie he was truthful. And to be honest, what helped him was the fact that he was incredibly handsome. 

 

Danny has this ultra ginger hair that gets in his eyes sometimes. His eyes are unsual (but all of ours are due to our powers). He has deep purple eyes that glisten when he uses his powers. The dude wasn't lanky, but he wasn't buff, he was more in the middle, the perfect size. To top it all off, he was tall, like... 6'3" probably. I am around 5'3" so guess how tiny I feel standing in front of him. He's also the oldest boy, wheras I am the youngest girl. Danny's around 3 months older than Ike. You think I'd like a boy like him right? Wrong. Danny and I knew each other since he was one and I was two. We grew up together, and we are still staying best friends. Powers were just tremendous to us, but not to our family. Well, to my mom. He lived with us until we were kicked out for our powers. 

 

Ike was a different boy. He had soft, pink eyes with light brown hair. His hair was shorter than Danny's but it was still pretty long. He was definitely not as tall as Danny, but pretty damn tall. Also, he was a lanky guy, despite the fact he can repair or destroy anything. Danny and I met Ike a year after we got kicked out. It was the three of us together for a few years. They were 13, I was 12. I was always the little sister of us three.

 

I would tell you how we met Osiris, Juliet, and Ashton, but to tell you the truth, they found us. There's no sob story with them, they found us. The three of them lived happily until their powers. Danny, Ike, and I? We were nothing but sob stories. Sob stories that's only in the past. 

 

Things then got blurry.
