Chapter 1
Ariana's POV
I don't know how it happened. I heard about all these people who had special powers, but me and my younger sister, Serena, seemed too weak to develop such extraordinary abilities. There was a boy down the street from us who found out he could lift something heavy by using his powers to actually make it weigh less, but still look exactly the same. He could do the opposite with a heavy object as well. But he was driven out of town. Called a freak by his friends. The same happened to a girl who could control water. They were forced to leave. Which is why I was worried when it happened.
It started when my hair began to fall out. I was freaked. I used to have long beautiful dark hair. Now when I look at Serena and see her own black hair, despite being a complete mess, I can't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. I mean it's not like my hair didn't grow back. It did, but now it's a hideous light pink. My sister was the luck one. The only thing strange about her was that her eyes (which used to be brown) turned a bright shade of purple. But its easy to stick some sunglasses on or put some contacts in. Or maybe people don't notice her eyes at all. But natural pink hair is harder to hide. But some things both changed about us. Our skin looked almost sheet white and of course our powers.
I can shoot pink energy blasts from my hands and fly. If I concentrate, I can also put up a shield for a few minutes. It manifested when I was 15. My hair had fallen all the way out and was already growing back pink. My mom told me that was just my imagination. But she thought differently after I blasted a hole through the wall of my science class. Ironically while we were discussing mutant evolution. People got to talking and we moved. That didn't help much considering what happened after we moved.
Serena's POV
I know she hates me. Ariana has always hated me. I used to cry over this when I was little, but she basically taught me to grow up. People don't need to love you to teach you things. But I knew if she had a choice, she would rather save a bag of chips than lift a finger to save my life. Bitch.
We both had our powers for three years. Ariana was pretty upset with having powers. She heard about the people who got driven out. But Ariana is so down to earth about things like that. I was excited. I even convinced her that we need to take on code names. Like the X-Men or the Brotherhood. But we used to be pretty independent. I came up with the name Shimmer for her and she called me Nebula. That was the moment I think we stopped being two sisters from California and started being wanted mutants, I would walk down the street and listen to people talk about the X-Men. I would imagine what it would be like. To be taught to use your powers to help people rather than help yourself. "If we don't look out for us, noone else will." Ariana would always tell me.
I control energy. I can use it to make shields and since when I use my powers, it looks like a moving shadow, I can use them to hide us. I like my powers ok, but when I think of all the people who hate me because of them, I sometimes cry. Nobody loves a freak.
I know how crappy this is, but I started writing a story for one of my Ocs so I figured I might as well write for Serena and Ariana also. This is Ariana's first appearance in a story because before she didn't have a name. I was calling her Olivia for a while, then Ophelia, then Andreana. It's not that I couldn't decide, I just switched a name after I was bored witch it. Her code name used to be RubyStar but that seemed a bit contrasted with Serena's personality and Serena is the one who gave Shimmer her code name. Well review and tell me what you think!
