Eight years old
She was staring at the beautiful sunset wondering how such a huge thing off in the distance could create such massive power. She knew it was a big burning ball of gas and somewhere deep inside her she wanted to fly up to the sun and touch it. " Hey you," an annoying kid said from behind her, " why you staring at the sun like that? you want to marry it?" She turned around and faced him and then putting a tanned arm behind her back she clicked together her fingers, creating a small fireball. The boy that was watching the scene take place let out a small gasp. Quietly he focused and out of his own hand came a small jet of ice instantly freezing the fireball. The girl dropped the ice ball and turned around so fast, dark brown almost black hair whipping over her shoulder as she turned to stare at the boy. His breath caught in his throat when he noticed her eyes. They were many different combinations of red, orange and yellow. Fire colors. " Just the two youngsters i wanted to see," came a voice from behind the boy. " My name is Professor Xavier and i will like to welcome you to the Academy. I see you two already met." They stared at each other for a few minutes before the professor continued. " See my school is a special place for people with special abilities. You two have a very interesting combination of powers. So i am putting you two together to be partners for as long as you guys are here. Chelsea Kessler meet Robert Drake." Bobby held out his hand in an attempt to shake Chelsea's hand. She accepted it and in the process almost burnt his hand off. " Pleasure to meet you Bobby," she exclaimed in a sickly sweet voice. Bobby already knew there was something about this girl that he loved.

"Are you sure your ready?" Bobby asked the nervous Chelsea who was positioned to the side of him on her bed. " i don't know. Don't you think we are kind of young? Fourteen is really young Bobby." "Come on." Bobby pleaded with her. " I love you. You love me. What more does two people need to know when the right time to do this?" She stared down at her hands unsure about what to do. Chelsea was sure she loved Bobby but was afraid that sex wasn't the right step to take next in their relationship. they had only started going out 5 months ago. They had known each other since they were eight. She then brought her hands up to her black shirt and pulled it off sitting there only in her black bra. Even though she was only fourteen, she was developed quite nicely. Bobby was staring at her with his icy blue eyes. He then proceeded to take off his shirt and threw it on the ground next to hers. Again being only fourteen Bobby did not have the muscles of an eighteen year old but he was showing some signs of muscles. " Are you sure you love me?" Chelsea asked connecting her fire eyes with his icy ones. " I am positive." Bobby said leaning in to kiss her. She pulled away and said, " You will never leave me right?" " Never" Bobby repeated assuredly and then succeeded in planting a kiss on her lips and pulled her closer to him.

Chelsea was walking down the hallway to Bobby's room. She had some new plans for their training and she wanted to show them to him before tomorrow's session. " Hey Bobby with these plans I am sure that we can move up to a Class 3 in no time." The Classes were divided into how well you an control your power. Class 4 was the strongest you could become. That was when you had complete control over your powers and could do many amazing things with it. Class 3 was where you knew how to control your power but you did not master all full uses of it. Class 2 was when you had little control over your power and knew some of it's uses " I worked so hard on these plans I mean i think i saw Storm giving me the evil eye during math but if I can move up a Class then i could deal with whatever..." Chelsea came to a halt in front of Bobby's doorway. She couldn't believe her eyes. There was Bobby with his lips pressed against Rogue's. "That bastard" Chelsea thought, " How could he do this to me?" The papers that she was holding in her hands caught on fire as Chelsea's anger grew. When Bobby finally looked up and noticed Chelsea there, he pushed Rogue away and started to move towards Chelsea to try to explain. Chelsea threw the burning papers on the ground and took off running not knowing where she was going but she didn't really care. She thought about going to her room but she knew she didn't want to burn any of her precious items. She ended up in the garden. Meanwhile back up in Bobby's room, Bobby was pacing furiously. Rogue came up to him crying that she would never be able to kiss anyone with her condition and then threw herself at Bobby before he had anytime to react. Chelsea's betrayed look almost broke his heart. He decided that he has to go after her to explain his side of the story. As he took off running down the hall, he almost took out Scott who was walking by eating a burger. " Slow down Bobby," Scott said through a mouthful of hamburger, " What do you need that you have to be running so fast for it?" " Chelsea saw me kissing Rogue on accident and now i have no idea where she ran off to." Bobby replied looking around for any signs of her. " I think I saw her walking over to her room but dude be careful. She looked like she wanted to take someone's head off." Scott said. " Okay i will," Bobby called out over his shoulder as he turned and started running to Chelsea's room. " Ohh and thanks Scott." " No problem." Scott said and then turning around thinking, " That boy is a goner." Chelsea was outside walking back and forth replaying the scene she had just witnessed over and over in her head. It was like a bad movie that was broken and kept going over the same scene again and again. Anytime when she couldn't bear the scene, she had taken to burning trees around the Academy. There was 10 burnt and counting. " That bitch," Chelsea thought, " I knew she liked Bobby for the longest time but I never knew she would have the balls to make a move. If she kissed him long enough, he would have died." Feeling anger seeping into her body again, Chelsea let a huge jet of fire unleash from her hands burning down two trees in the process. " Impressive," came a voice over by the bushes. Chelsea spun around looking for the source. Out of the bushes stepped an elderly man looking to almost be the twin of Professor Xavier. The only difference was that he could walk and he was wearing a weird helmet over his head. " Who are you?" Chelsea asked staring suspiciously at the older man. " If you must know, i am Magneto, leader of the Brotherhood and i am here to rescue you from this place you call home." Chelsea had heard one of the professors talking about the Brotherhood saying that it was a league of mutants who were anti-human. " Why are you talking to me then if your so important?" Chelsea asked with a little sarcasm. " I think that you would be a wonderful addition the the Brotherhood and i have been watching you and i feel that you have the potential to be a great asset and more powerful then you are now in the Brotherhood." Magneto replied. "Have you ever wondered why no one around your age has ever become a Class 3?" Magneto asked Chelsea. " No but that's because their power is not fully controlled yet." Chelsea said repeating what she has been told for all of her years here. " Is that what they are still telling you?" Magneto said with a laugh, " It's because they don't want anyone to become stronger then them. They are afraid you would be more powerful then they are so they keep you at a Class 3 to make sure you will never gain more power then them." " Really," Chelsea said, " So you think i have the power to become stronger then them?" " Of course you do. That is why i am willing to accept you into the Brotherhood. When do you think you can come join me and the rest of the other mutants at the Brotherhood?" Magneto told her. " As soon as night falls Sir." Chelsea told him and ran off to her room in order to pack for her new life with power. She took the stairs two at a time running to her room and locking the door behind her. Chelsea ran to her closet and threw it open pulling out her old suitcase and throwing it onto her bed. She turned around looking for clothes to pile into it but instead her attention was caught on the sunset outside her window. Professor Xavier gave her the room that faced the sunsets and she was sorry to be leaving her room. It was her favorite place in the Academy. Too bad Professor Xavier was away this weekend so she could really get the answers on whether Magneto's accusations were true or not. Another thing that caught her eye was the picture of her and Bobby when they were thirteen. They were on the ferris wheel after a famous field trip that the Academy took them on. They both looked so happy and carefree. Chelsea was debating with herself whether to bring it or not and then without thinking about it anymore she threw it in on top of all her clothes. With her suitcase filled, Chelsea put on her black converse and opened the door of her room taking one last look at the place that had been her home for 6 years. She shut the door quietly and proceeded down the stairs. When she got to the front door of the Academy, Chelsea took another last look at the place that she used to call her home. She heard the cries of Bobby frantically looking for her and she smelled burnt popcorn and saw the stains on the carpet where the Jellyman had an accident. With that last look, she turned around and never once looked back.
