Crystal's pov

      Crystal closed her locker. She spun around to face Chloe, her attention seeking ex best friend. Chloe sneered at Crystal in an attempt to intimidate her. Crystal rolled her eyes and tried to walk away but Chloe shoved her on the locker.

       "What do you what, Chloe?" Crystal asks exasperatedly.

        "I just want you to be my friend again. I wouldn't want anymore rumors spread." Chloe said.

        "You're the one spreading rumors!" Crystal exclaims. Crystal attempts to walk away but Chloe trips her and then pushes her on the ground. Crystal, being quick to anger and having unstable powers, sent out and unintentional electric spark to Chloe. Chloe yelped and went unconscious. Crystal ran off in a brown blur to meet her brother Cole

                                   Cole's pov

         Cole exited the school building with his backpack over one shoulder. He sat down under a tree and waited for Crystal, his younger sister to get out of school. The middle school ended 15 minuets after the high school but today they had gotten out later than usual. He pulled a small journal out of his pocket and started to write poetry. Crystal ran up to him in a brown blur with her frizzy dark brown hair flying behind her. She started braking a little too late as she ran into a tree.

        "You really need to get better at your speed." Cole commented.

        "Good to see you too." Crystal replied sarcastically. Cole let out a small smile.

        "Let's get home." Cole said, climbing to his feet. Together they walked in silence. Cole had to move his black fringe out of his eye when the wind decided to blow. Crystal laughed at that and Cole flipped her hair over her face. He walked away quickly before Crystal could comprehend what happened.

     "Hey!" She shouted. Cole had to refrain from laughing. Crystal flicked their hair back over her head and started running. "Race ya!" She called. Cole chuckled and started running after her, knowing that she'll win. Suddenly, in a flash of darkness, Cole disappeared and then reappeared next to Crystal. Crystal took notice of this and gaped in surprise. Crystal started to run faster, leaving a trail of electricity behind her.

Something weird is going on, Cole thought. Our powers were never this strong before.

Crystal rammed into the front door of their home and fell over, dazed. The door opened to reveal Angie, one of their moms.

"Again, that's the third time this week?" Angie said when she spotted Crystal on the ground. Crystal got up, dusted herself off, and grumbled something inaudible. Cole jogged to the door.

"Hello mom." He said with a smile. He stepped into the house and was given a bear hug by his second mom, Carla. "Hello to you too, Carla." He said. Carla let him go and ruffled his hair before returning to the kitchen to finish washing the dishes. Crystal walked upstairs to her room and closed the door. Who knows what she does in there.

Crystal's pov

Crystal went upstairs to her room and closed the door. Her room was a complete mess with clothes and incomplete art projects littering the floor. Her bed has a pile of stuffed animals with the most important ones on the top and the least important on the bottom. She has a small office like area on the other side of the room with her drawing tablet and laptop on hr desk surrounded by art supplies and papers. She walks over to her desk and sits down. She opens an unfinished water bottle and starts to finish it off, ignoring the plastic-like taste. She tosses it into the trash can which desperately needs to be emptied.

"Mom!" Crystal shouts.

"Yes!" Angie and Carla answer.

"I mean Angie!" Crystal replies. Much to Crystal's surprise, Angie comes into her room.

"This place is a mess!" Angie says, scowling. Crystal shrugs off that comment. "What do you want?" Angie asks. Crystal paused for a moment to think.

"Food."

"Dinner is almost ready if you just wanted food. I suggest you head down stairs. Anything else?" Crystal shakes her head and gets up to go downstairs.

Cole's pov

Cole sat on the couch while trying to figure out what happened earlier. The only answer he got was a writing prompt he saw on the internet. His mind couldn't be that empty could it?

               "Come on. Think." Cole said to himself. Cole came to the conclusion that he was clueless. He shrugged it off and headed to the dining room for dinner.

Here's a book that's been in the works that I forgot about for a while. Whoops. Anyway, enjoy the first chapter that I wanted to do more with but didn't because I ran out of ideas and I just decided to put it out there for the people of the internet to read.
