I tuned out the principal's voice while he lectured me on using my powers outside of the power room and how this time was the last time and that I was suspended from 'McGregor's School for the Gifted'. I just shook my head and walked out of the office with my bag on my back. Thunder rolled overhead and I just walked in the rain all the way to the bus depot. My mother was dead…my father was dead. I had no-one left to go to.
Let me tell you a little about myself: My name is Elektra Artic Templar and I'm a Shadow. When I was 14 years old, my parents were killed by a Super-Villain and I have been bounced from family member to family member until now. I'm 17 now and was a sophomore at the school until I made the gym explode inward. All anyone could say was thank god no-one was inside and I suppose I would have to agree…I suppose. I'm a Stronghold originally…Josie and Steve Stronghold are my Aunt and Uncle. And now…I'm going to live with them and my slightly older cousin Will and go to his school. Let's hope I can… yeah right.
"Elektra darling!" I stared at my Aunt Josie and took her hug unwillingly. Steve hugged me next but my cousin Will didn't. He could tell I didn't want to be touched and I was glad he didn't. I smiled at him slightly and he returned the smile, leaving me alone. That was when my Aunt Josie noticed my lip ring and tongue ring. "ELEKTRA TEMPLAR!"
"Yeah?" I asked in a bored tone and she pointed at my mouth. I stuck my tongue out and touched my lip ring. I smirked at her and shrugged.
"Is that a-"
"Yeah it is. Can you go so I can change?" They left and I dropped onto my bed…wanting to disappear.
