Heroes' fanfiction

"Alexa, Leyla can you come here please." My dad called from downstairs. I shut my laptop down then reluctantly sauntered downstairs. Mum and Dad were sitting on the sofa looking slightly nervous. Leyla was sitting next to them looking a bit bemused.

"What's up?" I asked hoping it was going to be quick.

"Well umm you know how my job is very important and well um they've asked us to move to Odessa." Dad stuttered looking anxious about the reaction and he was right to.

"TEXAS!" Me and my sister said in unison.

"I've always wanted to go to Texas I can't wait when are we leaving?" Leyla bounced up and down in her seat asking all these questions.

"Texas! You're making me move to Texas!" my voice was getting louder and my face was getting redder. I could NOT move to Texas. I stormed upstairs and slammed the door. I was furious! There is no way I'm moving to Texas especially not half way through the school year. I could feel myself getting angrier and angrier. Then my hands started to feel cold and wet. Before I could control it I spiral of water flew across the room knocking over my glass. It smashed on the floor, shards of glass fell onto the carpet it .seemed to fall in slow motion. I stared down at my hands. Did I do that? My dad's booming voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Alexa I know you're angry but there's no need to smash stuff."

"I'm uh sorry I accidently knocked my glass off my desk." I replied trying not to make my voice shake.

"Ok sweetie be careful."

I didn't reply I was too busy trying to work out how the hell I made water shoot out of my palms. I was curious to see if a) I could do it at will b) if it was me and c) if I'm dreaming. Firstly I clenched my fists then closed my eyes. I open my hands so my palms are facing outwards, I focus on water so that my mind is blank apart from the thought of water. Then my hands started to feel cold and wet. I opened my eyes and saw another spiral of water fly across the room and splashed against the wall. So I learnt the answers to my questions. I can do it at will (But I don't think I can control it) it was me and I'm not dreaming I don't think. Suddenly my mind started filling up with questions. What if I can't control it? What is someone finds out? What if I hurt someone? What if my family find out? What if they kick me out because they thought it was a mistake to adopt me? I could feel myself getting more and more upset. Then my hands started to feel cold and wet. No no no no I thought. But this time water didn't fly out my palms. This time I felt something drip on my head. I looked up and saw that it was raining in my room. WTF? I thought. I need to make this stop. Now! I tried to calm down. Breathing in and out. Soon the rain went away. I looked down at my floor it was damp and still had shards of glass on it. For the time being I push the thoughts of what I had just discovered out of my head. I focused on picking up the glass. Bit by bit I picked up the shards of glass. One pierced my finger. I winced slightly when it went in to my skin. I pulled the glass out of my finger. My finger was bleeding. I went to the bathroom to get a plaster but bumped into my dad. He saw the crimson liquid on my finger.

"What happened?" he asked concern in his eyes.

"Nothing I just cut myself cleaning up the glass I'm fine."

"Let me get you a plaster."

"Its fine I can manage." I walked past him into the bathroom. I put the plaster on my index finger.

I went back to my room and sat on my bed. Pondering about the events that had just occurred. I'm moving to Texas and there's nothing I can do about it, I'm going to have to leave my friends and my life behind, I have to start a new school half way through the year and the most baffling one of all I appear to be able to make water shoot out of my palms, and make it rain! I needed to clear my head so I went to sleep.

###############(We're skipping to next week)#########################

Trying to say good bye through the sobs I hugged my friends one last time before leaving school. When I got home I helped load up the van. Box by box our house was slowly getting emptier. Once all the boxes were loaded I looked around. The house seemed so lifeless without the rugs, the carpet and the pictures on the walls. I looked around my house one last time before closing the door and locking it behind me. I clambered into the back seat of the car and put my headphones on. There was no way in hell I was driving 8 hours listening to my dad trying to sing along to the radio. I fell asleep for a while but when I woke we were in Texas. Out my window I could see a school just at that moment my dad said

"That's you're new school girls."

I sighed and lent back in my chair. I was not looking forward to starting there.

When the car finally stopped I glanced out the window and couldn't help but gasp. It was magnificent. There was stepping stones leading up to a huge cream house. The front lawn had been freshly cut and daffodils were growing by the porch. There were 3 mahogany steps leading up to the front door.

"Is this our house?" I asked gobsmacked. My dad simply nodded leading us to the front door. He turned the key in the lock and opened the door. I gasped at the sight. It was even better than the outside.
