Moving to a new town shouldn't be as nerving as it is to me. But then again, my family and I weren't exactly normal. Most people don't know about our kind. Our kind being Elementals, meaning that we can control elements. Mine being fire.

We are very rare now. Since centuries ago, there was this big war type thing between vampires and us. Considering they have many abilities, we lost, badly.

Many people are still after us so, we find ourselves leaving from town to town a lot. It gets annoying after a while since, we really only each other. None of us are even related. See, once we find out about our 'abilities', we're pretty much shipped off to a home with other people like ourselves. Sad, I know. I haven't seen my real parents since I was five.

My 'family' consists two guys I think of as brothers, Mason and Oliver Decoteau, they aren't related, a girl that I think of a sister, Caralyn "Elaine" Bertolini, and the mother figure, Samira Bertolini. I'm Nikkole Bertolini.

Our personalities do reflect elements to an extent as do our looks.

Mine being fire, I have a temper issue. My hair is a fiery red that many mistake as being fake. Many people compare it to Hayley Williams' hair. The color of my eyes have a tendency to change a little bit. They are usually a light brown but, get more ember like when I use my ability or I get angry. My skin stays tan no matter how much sun I get and I'm always warm. So, I hate having contact with people who don't know about our kind. They usually freak out about the major temperature difference.

Oliver's element is earth. So, he's really strong, stubborn (as am I), and persistent. He's really goofy and really relaxed. He's also pretty protective over Elaine and me. Oliver is pretty muscular, tan, deep brown eyes and with short messy brown hair. The dark hair and eyes are an earth elemental traits. He also has this amazing smile that could light up any room.

Caralyn, who goes by her middle name that is Elaine, is a air elemental. As a air elemental, she's very relaxed and a go with the flow person. She's always pretty happy and carefree, no matter the situation. Elaine's hair is blond that fell down in waves to her shoulders and eyes were sky blue. Her skin tone was pretty pale but, her cheeks had a slight flush to them almost always. Her and Mason are actually together.

Mason, he's a water elemental. He has shaggy dirty blond hair and blue/green eyes. He's pretty tan and a strong but, fun personality. Mason is always messing with me and we do play fight a lot. He's a big brother to me, always looking out for me. Elaine and him are always being overly affectionate. Which in turn, makes Oliver and I make gagging noises in the background and bug them about it.

Samira wasn't an elemental at all. But, that didn't mean she couldn't help us when we needed it. She was about an inch taller than me. Her hair was dark and long. Eyes dark brown and her skin tone was a russet color.

"C'mon Nikki, it'll be fine!" Oliver told me with a bright smile.

I had to fight the urge to roll my eyes. "Remind me why we have to move again?"

Samira sighed from the kitchen where she was unpacking the dishes. "People started to talk, Nikkole. We can't allow people to realize what we are."

"Like anyone is going think that we're exist." I scoffed but, stopped talking when I saw Samira's glare. "Sorry."

She shook her head. "Anyways, it was just best for us to move. Better safe than sorry."

"But, you had to pick the most rainy place in America?" I groaned. "I hate rain."

"We all know you do, Kole." Mason said from the dinning room. "Its not even that bad."

"That's because you're a water elemental! I'm fire. Water is my opposite. Its just cold, wet and gross."

I was not happy the next morning. It was poring down rain and it was the first day of Forks high. I quickly took a shower and put on a short sleeved shirt, with thin stripes, flared jeans, and black wedged ankle boots. I pulled on a leather jacket and grabbed a black shoulder bag. For make up, I just added black eyeliner and light lipstick.

After straightening my bright hair, I sighed and grabbed a umbrella.

"C'mon, Nikki! Time to go!" Elaine called happily from downstairs.

When I got downstairs, I found Elaine wearing a red orange cardigan, white skinny jeans (which were probably a terrible idea), and wedged combat boots that matched the cardigan and her purse. Her blond hair was pulled into a high bun. Her make up was a natural look. Of course, there was a huge smile on her face.

I raised an eyebrow. "Do you not realize that its seven am? Or are you really hyped up on coffee?"

Oliver tiredly sighed. "You should know that she's always like this by now."

Mason ran down the stairs while pulling on his jacket and was quick to pull Elaine into his arms and kissed her.

"Can I ride with you?" Oliver groaned. "I don't think I want to look at that the whole way there."

"Yeah, of course you can." I smiled and hooking my arm through his.
