Hello :) So I was re-reading some of my older stuff and noticed that I have gotten way better so I thought hat I would re write some of it. This is just the first chapter and I hope to do some more of the other ones. I hope this is better, I feel better about it. It's like a grown up version of the first try :) Hope you all like it and I will be done with a new chapter very soon. Only two chapters left until the end! Thanks again to everyone who continues to read my stuff. I appreciate it more than you know.

CHAPTER ONE

Gale was always in the background. It had been that way for who knows how long. No matter that she was an only child, her parents still didn't care. Maybe they were expecting a miracle or something. And they ended up with some lousy, mediocre kid. She liked it sometimes. Being invisible helps you get away with stuff most kids would be killed for. Like shoplifting and drinking. She could go to parties without her parents even noticing that she was gone.

Gale was sent to Coates Academy because even when your parents don't give a shit, you can always rely on the police to care about your well being. She wen to a party one night and was offered something more than her usual. Magic white powder that made her cares drift away. It made the night beautiful. People didn't usually notice Gale, so when a chiseled boy handed her a small plastic bag, she was all for it. She got so high that night she though the helium would never squeeze out of her heart.

Gale was walking home after her lipstick had been smeared all over her face by magic powder boy and saw a cop car ahead of her. In her completely out of it mind, Gale thought that when the lights were out in a cop car it meant that they were off duty and couldn't do anything. Yes. She was very high.

See if they notice me now, she though as an image of her father in his study and her mother in front of the television condensated on her brain. That was the picture she saw as she threw the rocks. No big ones, not large enough to even dent the car. Just big to get the officer out of his car. And when Gale saw his face her hands sped to the hem of her tank top. In one swift move she pulled it up in front of her face, bra coming with it. Apparently minors get in a lot of trouble for flashing policemen.

This action did get her more attention, but only briefly. Her parents didn't let her out of their sight for two whole weeks. And Gale couldn't tell if she liked it. She felt special but hated at the same time. She was always in their sight but was never looked at directly. And then seventeen days after the incident, as her parents called it, Gale was shipped off to a school full to the brim with weirdos and psychopaths.

She fit in well enough, but slowly, just like always, she began to disappear. To dissolve into the crowd of other screwed up kids. She was once again, not even remotely special.

That is until she found out that she could shatter glass with a touch. And just like that, Gale felt like she meant something.

Gale was in her room one night with a glass she had stolen form the cafeteria. She was practicing. Slowly getting stronger so that when she finally showed someone, they would be more than impressed. They would be afraid. That was a tool of survival in this school, and few had really mastered it.

Just as she set out her supplies, her door opened and the figure in it made Gale's heart race. Caine Soren waltzed in to her room like he owned it. He made her small piece of hell seem a little closer to heaven. "Hello Gwen, Nice place you got h-"

"It's Gale." Diana Ladris walked in as she corrected the beautiful boy. Her nose held high in the air. Somehow she managed to drag the room closer to hell.

"Close enough," He said smiling at Gale. She was melting. He walked up to her, slowed right beside her, and slowly glided against her arm as he kept walking to opposite wall. When he reached it he turned around and pressed his back against it. "So, Gale," he stressed the word, looking past her for a second to make eye contact with Diana, "I have a source telling me that you can do things. I'm not going to dance around this because we don't have to. You can do something that people aren't supposed to be able to do, can't you." It wasn't a question. But Gale couldn't help but shift her eyes to the ground and nod. "Gale?" she looked up, "I can too."

Those words dug into Gale's core and her face split into a smile. She wasn't alone. More importantly, Caine Soren was the one she wasn't alone with. "Diana can too." Gale spun her head back to look at Diana who had walked forward silently during the conversation and was now just a few feet away form Gale. She kept eye contact for a second or two then nodded slightly. Gale looked forward again to see Caine smiling at her. The show of teeth made bubbles rise in her stomach. "So, here's the deal, There are more of us and wee meet every now and then. To talk. To practice. I want you with us. You'd be great."

Diana's voice sounded from behind Gale. "Caine, don't rush her into this" she said as she put a hand on Gale's shoulder. In the back of her mind, Gale recognized that the hand was more on her neck than her shoulder, some of the fingers connecting with and pushing lightly on her skin.

"I like be rushed," Gale said a bit too quickly before Caine felt the need to take back his offer.

He smiled his gorgeous smile and said with charm that only he possessed, "I'll show you mine if you show me yours."

Gale glanced over at the small glass she had brought up. She needed to be impressive. She needed something much larger than a water glass. Her eyes scanned the room and rested on the mirror she looked in every morning to do her makeup. It was twelve inches across and fifteen tall. A decent size. Gale sucked in breath and walked over, hoping to god that she wouldn't do something stupid like trip over her own feet. She didn't.

Gale brought her hand up to the glass, feeling two sets or deep brown eyes on her back. She extended her pointed finger and slowly brought it down onto the top of the mirror. And a firework burst under the feather light pressure. As she slowly drew her finger down in a straight line, a glorious light show presented itself and was accompanied by a symphony of pings. Spider weds grew from where she touched and spread the diameter of the glass. By the time Gale reached the bottom, it was impossible to see any sort of reflection in the used to be mirror.

Gale turned to face her audience. She didn't quite know what to expect. Maybe an open mouth, a short burst of applause. What she got was the same view she had seen when she turned away before her big performance.

"Cute. Wanna see some real power now?' Caine asked in a dark voice. The charm had evaporated and his eyes darkened to an almost black colour.

Gale heard small twinkling noises behind her but in front of her was a sight just as interesting. All of the muscles in Caine's arms had tensed and Gale could see the definition. His veins rose to the surface and made jagged bridges under his skin. His hands gripped into claw like structures and were slightly raised. When the noise intensified Gale had no choice but to turn around.

Piece by Piece, the mirror was coming out of it's frame. Not a single shard fell to the ground. Gale kept waiting for them to drop. This can't be real, Gale then she remembered how the mirror broke in the first place.

Nothing was impossible anymore.

"Watch closely," a gruff voice from behind her said quietly. It seemed like he was talking more to himself than to either of the girls in the room.

All at the same time, every piece of glass that used to belong to Gale's reflection shot forwards and embedded themselves into the opposite wall. No, not by themselves. Caine had made that happen. He had done that without even going near the glass. He was the definition of magic.

Gale stayed staring at her damaged wall until Caine said something. "Neat, huh?" Caine asked in a mocking tone. He knew how amazing that was. And Gale was ready to feed his ego, but was stopped before she could start.

"Stop bragging Caine," Diana sighed. "You've made your point." She sounded like she was bored. Like what she just witnessed was a mundane act that happened all the time. Not something marvelous. How can you grow tired of something like that?

"Fine," Caine snapped at Diana. Gale knew that he was used to girls falling all over him, even without seeing what he had just shared with her. Having Diana be so unimpressed must be annoying.

"When's the first meeting. I want to come." Neither were questions. Both were needs. gale was eager now. She wanted to be able to do things like that. To be like him.

"Tomorrow. After English. Room 257. Oh, and don't tell anyone. We don't want the normals crashing our party," he winked. Usually winks were cheesy and Gale found them trying, but this one made her feel like a movie star.

The scary mean Caine was gone. Gale was beginning to wonder if she had made him up. How could someone who spoke like this have that darkness? They couldn't. It was impossible. "I'll see you then."

Caine smirked for a second, then smiled. He nodded his head slightly then waltzed out of the room. As soon as he was out of sight, Gale missed him.

"Don't tell anyone." Diana's harsh voice brought Gale back to the present. The room seemed dead without Caine in it. "You don't want to get on Caine's bad side. He doesn't easily forgive." Diana paused, breathed, and looked Gale up and down. When her eyes made their way back up to Gale's Diana smirked. It wasn't flirty like Caine's. Hers was mean. It was cruel. It was the smile you could imagine getting before your throat was torn out. Diana focused on the wall behind Gale with the shards in it. "You might want to clean that up, the administration doesn't like it when their students deface school property."

And then she was gone. leaving Gale alone to think. To stew in odor that Diana left behind. Gale didn't like her. How could o someone? She was rude and mean and was one shove away from falling off of the cliff's of her sanity. Gale wondered why Caine was with her. Why would he put himself through that pain.

Gale remembered Caine saying that Diana had a power too. As she paced in her room Gale began to guess what it could be. Maybe she could make people do what she wanted . That would make sense. Manipulating Caine into protecting her. Making him do who knows what else.

How could she do that to him? He was so wonderful and she treated him so poorly. Gale would treat him like diamonds. Gale would make sure he was loved.

And right then was when she decided to get Caine. She had a better and stronger power than Diana. And she would win.

"Time to put that bitch in her place."

The two convened at the ed of Gale's hallway.

"How many bars?" Caine asked quietly.

"Just two."

"I was hoping for more... But whatever, we can work with it."
