Dear Diary,

My name is Anastasia Rhodes, but most people call me Stazi. I am seventeen years old and I am in my Junior year of High School in New Jersey. I go to a good High School, but I can't tell you the name. I've already told you too much about myself. The wrong people might get their hands on this diary.

What I am about to write about is true. All of my friends and families names, even my own, have been changed for our safety. Sylar is getting close to killing us all, and we're being stalked by the brown/blonde haired man with glasses and his African-American friend. All we can do is pray right now, and for the group of people like me to save the world, by first saving the cheerleader first.

I should probably start from the beginning. I guess it started about a month or two ago. You can loose track of time when you're trying to save the world and when one of the people in the group can bend the space time continuum. But that's when I discovered my powers. It started out like any normal day for me. I woke up, got dressed, skipped breakfast, and took my Newfoundland dog, Iceberg to do her business, brushed my teeth and hair, and I said 'goodbye' to my mom and my younger twin siblings, Andrew and Katie as I left to walk with my friends, Joan and David to school…

A girl with long black hair walked out of her house and ran to catch up with her friends. Her skin was abnormally pale and she had bright green eyes. She was wearing her school uniform, which was consistent of a navy, grey, and white plaid skirt, a plain white shirt with P.H.A. above a pocket. On her legs she was wearing leg warmers and normal white Nike shoes. For a backpack, she had a satchel to carry around her books, making one of her shoulders go lower than the other due to the weight. She ran up to her friends and said,

"Hey David! Joan! Wait up guys!" The two friends turned around. The boy, David Kawaski had ear-length light brown hair and almond shaped eyes which were a dark brown color. Glasses balanced on his small nose. As he smiled at his friend, a dimple makes its way onto his cheek. He had a navy vest with P.H.A. on over his white shirt. He also had black dress pants on and a black backpack over one of his shoulders.

"Hurry up slowpoke! If you make us late again, we hafta clean the hallways with a toothbrush! Shall I remind you of the burning toothbrush incident that occurred last year?" The girl, Joan Burke, laughed. She had white hair that was tied up into a ponytail, but when it wasn't in the ponytail, it would go all the way to her hips. Her nearly-pure white skin would have made her invisible whenever it snowed. Her pale blue eyes proved that she was in fact, an albino. She had the same uniform on as Stazi, except that she had big pink hoop earrings on and instead of sneakers, she had long high healed brown boots. For a backpack she had followed her friend Stazi's example had a satchel to carry the heavy books and some were in her hands now. Despite her being an albino, she was in fact and African-American.

"David, don't even bring that up! I had ash in my hair for weeks! Sure, people mistake me for an old lady before, but with the ash in my hair, it went from white to grey! I even had a Boy Scout offer to walk me across the road!" Stazi had now caught up with her friends and said,

"Well if that's how you feel about me…" she then added some fake tears for special effects.

"Don't even think about it Stazi. You've been doin' that since Pre-K ta get extra cookies. Those were suppose ta be my cookies anyways…" David mumbled. Stazi removed the tears and said,

"Ok…Hey! Did you guys do your Biology homework? I forgot the book at school." Joan sighed.

"You have Bio after lunch right?" Stazi nodded her head.

"Good! You can do it then! Now c'mon, let's get ta school!" It was then that a 'BEEP' was heard from one of Joan's backpack pockets. She took out her Razr phone and made a frustrated sound.

"Great. I forgot to charge my cellphone last night and its outta juice!" Stazi rolled her eyes at her friend.

"Lemme see it." Stazi said. Joan handed her the cellphone and Stazi got a confused look on her face. She stopped walking, but her friends continued. After about five seconds, they realized that their friend wasn't there so they turned around. When they got to her David asked,

"What's wrong?"

"Uh Joan? I think your phone's broken." Stazi said, her eyes were now as big as plates.

"Why do ya say that?" Her albino friend looked at the phone.

"Because as soon as I touched it, it started to charge." She replied.

That's when my life turned upside-down. Amazing, isn't it? I went to sleep the night before a normal teen, wondering if my crush would ask me to the prom later this year and stuff like that. The next day I woke up a new person. A new person who could do strange, yet wonderful things.

This is the Diary of Anastasia 'Stazi' Rhodes. This is my life as Thunder Heart.
