Thorne, excited about her date with Helia, ran to her room to change. What she was wearing now would have made it too obvious that she wasn't Flora. She had on a pair of black skinny jeans with white tank top and leather jacket. She knew all too well that her cousin would never wear anything like that so she had to change. She slipped into her closet and put on a pair of jeans and a one sleeved white tee with a pink flower on the middle of it. She slipped on the imitation bracelet and threw her hair into a pony tail. Sliding on her pink sandals, she ran out of there and to the lake.
Just like before, the nature felt calm and soothing. Everything seemed amazing. A soft breeze brushed against her cheek, tickling the leaves on the tree. Thorne kept her arms wrapped around her tight. Though she loved the nature, she was always scared by it and for a good reason at that. Even though she and Flora were like twins, one thing they didn't have in common was their powers. Flora was a nature fairy but she other the other hand wasn't. Thorne learned when she was little that there were six basic power types, water, fire, earth, air, light and dark and all other stemmed from one of those. Thorne's powers stemmed from the dark side of things.
Like all fairies, Thorne's powers developed when she turned 13. When that happened everything had changed for her. Her powers went wild and out of her control, and everyone became afraid of her. They called her a monster and evil.
"That child is a menace!"
"She'll kill us all." This was just a taste of what she had to hear and endure. Her powers were dark and strong. She remembered overhearing her parents talking about her and her powers.
"You know they are right. Her powers are different, and they will always make her different here. She can't control them and she is a threat to everyone round her. Maybe we should take her away from here. Go somewhere else where she can't hurt anyone." Her mother had said.
"We can't let those people out there tell us what to do. She is our Daughter and she is still young. She's only had her powers a few months. Just give her time." Her father didn't care what other people thought, but deep down inside Thorne knew her father felt the same way her mother did.
"No, no. I am not letting them continue to insult her and hurt her. She is dangerous. I agree with them." Thorne couldn't hear anymore of this. She ran out of there, teas flowing down her cheeks. While she was out, she lost control of her powers. The forest and everything around her just died. In that moment the connection she had with nature was gone, forever.
Her parents didn't know what to do. No one in the family had ever shown such dark powers before and Thorne showed no sign of being able to control them. Over time however, Thorne learned how to control her powers. When her family was able to identify her powers, she was branded for life as the fairy of death. After that she was called a killer and murder. They said that she was too dangerous to be around and it was true. Until she went to Beta, everything she touched, she killed.
Her parents decided then and there to send her away to school so she could fully master her powers. At Beta she learned that her powers were control by her emotions and mind. If she believed that she couldn't kill anyone they she wouldn't, but even her teachers knew that there was a hidden anger inside her and that if it were to ever break free then there would be no stopping her power.
One day they came up to her. They told her that they could help her. Thorne believed them.
"We can help you. We can take away that dark power and give you powers that wouldn't be feared, but wanted. There is a catch though, one that you will like. Take care of your cousin and her friends. We will help you. So do we have a deal?" They indeed had a deal. She was getting a two for one. She would not only be rid of Flora, but these dark powers as well. Now she was standing in the middle of the forest, fists clenched to her sides. Thorne could feel her powers flowing out of her hands, but she had to keep in check of her emotions. She looked up and smiled because when she got to the Lake there was Helia, waiting for her.
"Hi Helia."
