• Scott's hand was still resting on my cheek. "I do believe in love at first sight" I said in a whisper. Scott smiled and pulled his hand away. "Come" he said. "It's time for dinner." I followed him out of my room and into the dining hall. "So tomorrow Ian, Scott, and you will be starting school" my uncle said to me while we were eating dinner. Ian's fork clattered onto the table. "Ian what's wrong?" I asked, then something strange happened. The fire in the fireplace shot up. "Nothing" Ian replied quietly. "Headache." My uncle gave him a bewildered look. The rest of dinner was silent. Afterwards my uncle hurried Ian into his office and shut the door. I went upstairs and into my room. I decided to fill up my closet with all of my clothes and everything. When I was putting my shirts in the second shelf someone clamped their hand over my mouth. I screamed and kicked but the person kept their hand over my mouth. "Ssh, relax Ashley it's just me Scott" the person said. I went limp with relief. "Are you trying to kill me when you are supposed to be protecting me?" I asked. "I just came to tell you some stuff that I heard your uncle saying to Ian" Scott said. "Supposedly we are what's called the 'powerful four', me, you, Ian, and Katerina. We are each supposed to have some sort of power and I'm guessing that Ian's is fire. That was all I heard becuase the rest was whispered." He sat there staring at me waiting for my reaction. "What about our powers?" I asked. "They said it was only a matter of time before we get ours" he replied. "All we have to find out is what this has to do with my parents 'cause I have a feeling it does" I said to Scott. He nodded in agreement. We had just gotten caught up in something big and something powerful.
