Prologue:
Four sisters walk along the streets of their neighborhood right outside Boston's North end. They're of teen age and all different in their own way. The oldest has eyes of hazel and intensity as she walks behind her younger siblings. Her hair, a beautiful shade of honey brunette that flows to the middle of her back, curls on the end bounce to the moment of her feet. Her closest in age sister walks ahead, hair a dark red almost brown until the sun shines upon it and beautiful strands of red show bright and true. Her eyes of a deep brown with specks of gold throughout them. The younger of the twin's walks in the middle of her two siblings as her older sister walk behind. Their formation is strong and is not to be toyed with. Her hair of chocolate brown flows across her face, as air from the ocean blows. She clenches her books, which are surpassing her age level of reading close to her chest like her most valued possession. Her eyes of blue show with excitement as their house come into view in the distance. The oldest twin her hair of golden blonde bounces to a run and takes off towards their yard.
"I'll beat you all there!" She yells as her sisters take off after her leaving the oldest behind. The green eyed beauty runs with no tire in her feet. She looked down as her smile slowly fades, her body throws her forward and everything becomes a blur. She stops abruptly in her very own yard, that not seconds ago was a half a mile away. She freezes with shock and doesn't dare to move again. Not until Jade can come to help.
Jade's attention from the beautiful changing of leaves in the fall weather is stopped by her body colliding with Jacqueline's. Her sisters ahead of her stop in shock to the sight of their sister's body become a blur. Jade looks around and sees that Lexine is no where in sight.
"Where is she?" She asks taking a step forward through her sisters.
"I don't know she took off down there and…Wait how did she get to the house already? Isn't that her?" Fiona asks as she drops her books from her chest shading her eyes from the sun with them.
Weeks later not being able to explain their sister's new found speed Jade and the second eldest sister Jacqueline walk to the subway from their karate class after school. Jacqueline's idea to take the quick way was first rejected by Jade for it being too dangerous. Jacqueline protested and soon Jade found herself walking along a dingy alleyway in Southie. She hated this area. Thugs and drug deals, she watched her sister in front of her carefully darting her head behind her more than a few times to make sure two teen girls in an alleyway weren't followed. Suddenly Jacqueline stopped short making her grasp tightly to her younger sister's shoulders. The man before them switched opened a knife and threatened them to lie on the ground. Jacqueline's body temperature started to rise and Jade threw her hand from her shoulder as if she had just touched a hot stove. Her sister's highlights started to turn a fire truck red as she looked at the scared man before them.
"Don't fuck with my sister!" She screamed at the man holding up a knife that trembled to the sight of once a girl he thought to be an easy target. She felt something arise within her like an angry brush fire. Holding up her hand to protect her older sister she felt her limbs give off a sensation through her arm like it was engulfed with flames. She didn't scream, she accepted the pain as a flame arose from her palm and shot towards the man and his pitiful knife. Jade's eyes grew wide as the man ran through the alleyway, his shirt sleeve on fire. His screams went unnoticed throughout the streets as people dodged him. Jacqueline and Jade ran the rest of the way home. Later that night as her sister lay asleep in bed, Jacqueline lit a finger like a match in the darkness. Her smile was illuminated by the light from her new power she now possessed.
Jade walked along Union Wharf where her dad used to take her boating when she was little, before the twins came along. She hung her legs over the side of a dock, watching men tie up the lines and smiled to herself as she remember her father's presences there telling her what they were doing and why. The cold ocean air washed over her body, having her grip the sweater she was wearing tighter. The feeling of her father ran away with her, she felt a rush of anger for him leaving. He left her and her sister there alone with a broken mother. He left without saying good-bye, without a call, without a reason. She felt tears start to form behind her eyes and she swallowed them pushing them back. She put her head down and focused. Focused on his eyes, his hair, his smell. She felt herself growl under the blowing wind as her eyes turned dark purple. Boats in the wharf rose from the water, their bellies dripping with sea water. Men around her started to gasp and then with a small sigh she released the boats from her grasp. They hit the water with low echoes throughout the harbor.
Fiona was the last to find her powers. She led herself to believe that there wasn't anything wrong with her, she was the normal one which in turn outcast her from her siblings. She buried herself in her books and fantasy movies trying to think of another life out there that she could live for herself away from this crazed family she known to call her own. Lexine always tried to get her to use her powers. Guide her, help her find them but Fiona was too easily distracted. There was so much more out there than just her family and just her powers that she couldn't even find yet. Until one day she came home to an argument between her two eldest siblings. Taking a breath and learning from experience to wait until they were down their quarrel she took a seat at the kitchen table. A flame was short towards Jade, who in turn controlled it with her hand making it extinguish. Jacqueline growled in defeat grabbing a pan in its hold above the stove throwing it towards her sister. Jade blocked the pan by throwing it aside. Fiona watched the metal shimmer in the sunlight shinning in from their small kitchen window. She clenched her eyes shut and shielded herself with a book above her head like it was her saving grace. The sound of the pan falling to the ground made her jump in the chair. Her sisters looked at her in shock, as did Fiona when she opened her eyes. There was a glowing orb, surrounding her body and chair. Her sister's faces were clear on the other side. She unclenched her fists and the force field disappeared.
As they grew older and graduated high school their powers were stronger. They trained as orders from Jade, to understand and use their powers for the greater good of their neighborhood and turned into their City of the greater Boston area. Going to college Jade decided to move out of her fairly loved City and move to another one she always wanted to visit. New York. Her sisters went their own ways in college, soon finding their way to Jade's apartment in need of their family connection back. They soon all moved in together, and practiced with their powers using them as one, a unit and family living and fighting together still…
