Brayden woke up with a stir and moved around in his bed. He looked over at his alarm clock it read 7:30 a.m he got out of bed and dressed in a haste. He kissed his parents good bye and set of to school in a happy mood because it was his 13th birthday. He met up with his three friends at the front door of the school. They greeted each other with course of happy birthday to each other for it was their birthday also. They don't know why or how but there birthdays all fall on the same day October 31st . And a day they will never forget. The day they find out they all are witches and wizards. Brayden the only boy in the group was 5.5 with bright read hair and weighed about 180 pounds. Next was Kaitlyn who was roughly 5.4 with red hair weighing about 160. The next was Shelby who was 5.4 with blonde and brown hair and 160 pounds. They were best friends and they did everything together. They were walking down the hall to there next class were they said their good byes and headed off in opposite directions. After a boring hour of their classes they met up at lunch and waited in line to get food. As they waited in line a bully came up and knocked Brayden down to the ground.
"Leave him alone." Kaitlyn yelled.
"What are going to do about it." said the bully.
Furious Brayden shot up of the ground and knocked the bully to the ground and they started to fight.
"Stop please." Kaitlyn screamed.
Then all of a sudden the bully froze Brayden was confused so he got up and looked around everyone was frozen but him and the girls. Freaked out he stepped back and looked at the girls confused.
"What did you do!" Brayden said!
"What do you mean what I do" yelled Kaitlyn
""Calm down." said Shelby (Rubbing her temples obviously trying to fight back a head ache.)
Brayden looked around confused and looked at the girls and said.
"I am going to have some fun."
He vanished into the cafeteria and came back with and empty food tray.
"What are you doing." Shelby hissed.
"Im going to have some fun!" Brayden said in a serious voice.
Shelby and Kaitlyn knew once Brayden used that voice you cant stop him from doing what he wants. Brayden was holding the empty tray hard . And with all his force he brought the tray down apon the bully's face. When he hit the bully the room became animated again and people turned around to stare at Brayden who was clutching the now bent food tray. The bully had no idea what had hit him but he got up and ran off. Laughing very hard Brayden turned around to say something but the girls were giving him the I am going to kill you look.
"Come on it was harmless fun!" said Brayden in a defensive voice.
"OK the hole cafeteria froze all but us and you wanted to have fun?" said Kaitlyn
"Ok I do have to say it was kind of weird that the place froze but I couldn't let him get away with what he has been doing if you let him get away with it he will keep doing it!" Brayden said
They were not going to here of it because after that Kaitlyn had called a meeting at her house after school. After two more agonizing hours of school they met up at the front of the school. And they started off towards Kaitlyns house. As they were walking they were discussing the event at lunch. Even though they new it was weird there was no away to explain it. They were about to cross the intersection when a loud honk sounded. They had crossed the street after they looked both ways they turned around seconds before the car ran the red light. Kaitlyn threw her hands up preparing to be hit by the car but the impact never came. Brayden looked up to see the car inches away from them frozen.
"What the hell!" Brayden exclaimed
Kaitlyn opened her eyes to see the car frozen inches away from her. Looking stunned she nudged Shelby and motioned with her eyes to the frozen cars all the frozen cars!
"How?" said Shelby
"I don't know." said Kaitlyn
"You froze a car!" exclaimed Brayden
"I did not .. Or maybe I did" Kaitlyn said moments after her last comment.
"It all makes sense" said Brayden
"Ok so spill it." said Shelby.
"Um I don't think this is the best place lets get out of the way before it unfreezes" said Kaitlyn.
The trio ran across the street to the cross walk and turned around and stared at the vehicle.
"I want to see something Kaitlyn focus on the car and wave your hand like your shooing a fly." Brayden said
"Um ok" said Kaitlyn with a nervous voice.
Kaitlyn focused on the car and opened her eyes and waved her hand. The loud honk started up again like it was never interrupted. We all started in amazement as the car flew by were they had been standing a few seconds ago. Shelby and Brayden turned to look a Kaitlyn.
"Not now. We need to get to my house." said Kaitlyn
Brayden And Shelby both said okay and they all ran the rest of the way to Kaitlyns house. They stormed threw the front door of Kaitlyns house. Her grandmother greeted them with a smile and asked if we would like something to drink.
"No!" called Kaitlyn"(as we rushed to her bedroom)
Once inside her bedroom she turned around and locked the door and turned on some music. (My Immortal was playing by Evanescence)
"So Grams cant here us." explained Kaitlyn
Brayden picked up a pillow and chucked it a Kaitlyns head. She threw hands up in defense and the pillow froze in mid-air.
"Ok so here is my theory you freeze things when you are scared. You froze the hole cafeteria when that bully was about to hit me. You then also threw your hands up. Then the second time we were walking that car almost hit us and again you threw your hands up and froze it. Just as you did now with the pillow" Brayden said still looking at the frozen pillow.
Has Brayden finished he plopped down on Kaitlyns bed.
"Okay so I freeze stuff when I am scared. Wait, why didn't you two freeze?" asked Kaitlyn
"See I have a theory on that too" said Brayden
"Well your just full of answers today aren't you" replied Shelby
Ignoring Shelby's comment Brayden continued.
"Ok so you know how we are all adopted. And how all of are birthdays are on the same day and are birth times just moments apart. Kaitlyn being the oldest than Shelby and me. Well I think we are related brother and sister not only that but we all have powers you being witches and me being a wizard."
"Ok I see what you mean but there is one issue you two haven't shown any signs of power" said Kaitlyn
As soon as Kaitlyn said that a loud knock sounded on Kaitlyns door. Scared Shelby threw her hands in the air and the pillow blew into many pieces.
"What was that noise?" called Grams
From behind the door.
"Nothing! We are studying and Brayden dropped his book and it hit my night stand" said Kaitlyn
"Ok are sure your not thirsty?" Called Grams
"Were fine thanks" said Brayden
"We have a lot of work" added Shelby
"Okay guys have fun" Grams said
"I just blew up a pillow!" Shelby said with a squeak
"I can see that." said Brayden
"Me too do you now how long its going to take to clean this room up now?" Said Kaitlyn
"I will help were are the trash bags?" Said Brayden
"I just blew up a pillow and you are worried about cleaning up?" said Shelby with a shocked voice
"Um well yes. I cant let Grams see this I don't want to have to lie to her I hate it." said Kaitlyn
"Ok so I can blow up things and Kaitlyn can freeze things what can you do?" Said Shelby (directing the question towards Brayden)
"Um I don't know." replied Brayden
"I have my own theory." said Shelby
"Oh, now do you" Brayden said with a big grin on his face
"Shut up, anyways I think all of are powers are based in are hands. Kaitlyn freezes things when she throws he hand up. I can blow stuff up with my hands." said Shelby
"Ok good there is one thing wrong with your theory. I don't have any power"said Brayden
"Well see Kaitlyn was scared by the car and the bully. And I was startled by the knock on the door so are emotions are tied to our powers. I would have told you that if you had not of interrupted me!" said Shelby
"Ok so what now? said Kaitlyn
"We need to trigger Brayden's powers of course." said Shelby
"Well how are we going to do tha?"t Brayden asked
"Um I guess make you mad." said Shelby
"Why mad?" Brayden asked
"Well because are emotions are tied to our powers so lets piss him off" said Kaitlyn with a wide grin
"But how is the answer?" said Shelby
"I think I know." said Kaitlyn
"Don't even!" said Brayden in a growl
Just as soon as Brayden said that Kaitlyn started to call him all sorts of name's. After a few seconds Shelby caught on she joined in the course of name calling. Brayden yelled in anger to shut them up throwing his hands up at the same time and the lamp flew off the desk towards the wall. Kaitlyn surprised threw her hands up and froze the lamp from smashing against the wall.
"What did you do that for?" yelled Kaitlyn that is my favorite lamp!"
"I did not mean to you pissed me off!" said Brayden
"Well good that was the goal" said Shelby (while walking over to the lamp and grabbing it from mid-air and placing it on the desk.)
"Ok so I can move things with my hands." Brayden said
"Ok so what are we supposed to do with are powers?" Asked Shelby
"I don't know, I guess practice them." said Kaitlyn
Kaitlyn was interrupted by a scream coming from the kitchen. The Trio darted out the room to see a robber standing in the kitchen holding Grams at gun point.
"Don't move and I wont hurt her." said the robber
"What do you want?" Brayden said in a hurry
"What else your powers." said the robber
Stunned Brayden began to raise his hand to throw the robber against the wall with his new power but he stopped of fear he would hurt Grams. Instead he looked at the robber and spoke.
"What powers?" Brayden asked in a confused voice
"Don't play stupid I know you have them I have been watching you guys your hole life waiting for your to get your powers. See I have powers of my own I was the bully at the school. And the driver who almost hit you and the next thing I know you guys were on the sided walk again so witch one can freeze time?"
"Me." Brayden said
Shelby and Kaitlyn looked at him like he was stupid.
"Well I will take your powers now I don't want you go freezing things. That will ruin the fun." said the robber
He threw Grams to the ground and came running to me. I waved my hand like I was shooing a fly and the robber flew back and slammed against the wall. Grams got up and ran out of the room when the robber stood up and threw what looked like a ball of lighting at me (obviously mad I tricked him) Kaitlyn let out a shriek of terror and froze the ball and the robber. Me and Shelby turned around and looked at Kaitlyn, Shelby was the first to speak.
"Well its about time you froze him!"
"Well sorry I was to focused on Grams" replied Kaitlyn
"Well its better than never did you see him fly when I used my power that was cool" said Brayden "Anyways we have to find away to kill him." said Shelby
"What, wait you want to kill him?" said Kaitlyn
"No I want to keep him as a pet!" said Brayden in a sarcastic tone
"Well how do we kill him? Asked Shelby"
"Brayden I have a idea use your power to throw that ball back at him" said Kaitlyn
"Ok ill try" said Brayden in a shaky voice.
With a wave of his hand he sent the ball of lighting back at him. The ball struck the robber in the chest and he unfroze but no phased at all.
"Nice move but better luck next time." said the robber
"BLOW HIM UP YELLED!" KAITLYN
Shelby raised her hand and used both of her hands as if she had just flicked water off of them. A loud pitch scream came from the robber as the blast hit him back against the wall.
"That's it follow me!" Brayden yelled over the scream
They bolted out the back door and down to their cabin. They reached the cabin and it was locked with the keys up stairs not even saying anything Brayden used his power and forced the door open. They ran inside and locked the door from the inside. They heard the backdoor slam shut as the robber came out side.
"So what your brilliant plan?" asked Shelby
"Wait for him to open the door let him throw the ball of lighting at us that's when I want Kaitlyn to freeze him and the ball. Then on three I am going to move the ball back at him and I want you blow him up when the lighting ball strikes him. That may be enough power to kill him!"
Just as Brayden finished his sentence the robber blew the door open and just as Brayden had said he threw his ball of lighting at them (witch Brayden noticed it appeared to come from his hand) Kaitlyn froze the ball like she was told to.
"1...2.….3...NOW" said Brayden
With a wave from his hand the ball flew backwards and struck the robber in the chest at the same time Shelby tried to blow him up. When the ball and the blast hit him at the same time he staggered backwards and yelled.
"There will be more warlocks and demons who come after you!"
Just as he finished he burst into flames and disappeared. It was over, the three of them looked at each other.
"This is going to be fun. More of the, what did he say demons? said Shelby
"Were going to have to hone are powers and learn how to fight." said Kaitlyn
"Come on we have to go find Grams" said Brayden
They walked up to the house and saw Grams in the kitchen sitting in a chair.
"Its time to tell you guys everything." said Grams
Grams started her story of the truth they listened closely. But they all knew there life's would never be the same.
