Holly was lucky. So, goddamn lucky. Firstly, she's abused and beaten. Everybody claims that they hate the idea of child abuse and all that bullshit. Of course, they claimed it was a punishable offence, but not normally one where the law was enforced. Everyone was a little busy with all the murderers and bank robbers and proper, life endangering criminals to care too much about the hundreds of kids getting beaten and abused on a daily basis. Including Holly. Then there was also the problem of her powers. She lives in Scotland. A country rather lacking in heroes and villains. The thing is, America is the only country that has superheroes or even knows about their existence. To the rest of the world, superheroes were people who only existed in comic books, movies or bad cartoons. Not very widely known of in the rest of the world. Thats the main reason Holly is beaten. Her powers. Her parents saw signs of Holly's strange abilities pretty early on. The tried to beat them out of her. Sometimes, though, her powers slipped out of her control. They went wild and sporadic. She would accidentally hit her parents with a blast of ice or fire. Thats what her power is. A strange control over fire and ice. Unfortunately, when she did fight back, she was horribly overpowered. As soon as she wanted to do something with her abilities, they refused to work. Her parents beat her more if she did this. It got so bad that they ended up shoving her in the cupboard under the stairs - a horrible Harry Potter rip-off, but Holly couldnt break out. Wasn't her life perfect?
sorry if this chapter is pretty awful. This is just the prologue so the first proper chapter should be better!
