I, Amanda own nothing, natters, zip, and zero. It all belongs to fox and people. I take care of all who are thought up by me. This is my disclaimer.

Dead, they were all dead. Desta thought dispassionately. Why? Why did they have to leave me alone, especially now, when my powers are coming in? She sighed thinking of her family, her mom, Zaida, her power being healing, she could heal anyone and anything, but herself. Her father Jonathan had been able to sense things and it had helped him to never get into a car accident. Then there was her brother, josha, he had the cool mutation, he could change his voice to mach anything, from a frog to the president to her best friends. Why? Rang out in her thoughts, why now, why?

It was a cold day with a clinging mist that hung over everything. Desta had just finished packing for one of her best friend's slumber party. Lori was turning 13 and was inviting her 3 best friends: Desta, Beth, and, Rose. Desta was totally excited; it was the first party she had been to a party in one week, a record for her. "Daddy I'm ready" Desta called out as she lugged her duffle bag out of her messy room. OK, she heard her father call out, then the tall child ran down to her father's truck and tossed her stuff in the back.

Jonathan had been feeling weird all week and it was driving him crazy. "I never thought mutations could go haywire" he mumbled to himself. He always knew when something would go wrong and depending on how bad it would be if he did not know what would happen, the reaction would start sooner but this had been going on all week! Even the time when he had almost run in to an anti-mutant rally had not started so soon and what could be worse than that? Maybe his work was stressing him out too much? well if that was the case maybe he should go on a vacation. His boss was always telling him to. He paused thinking of how happy Zaida would be to finally get out of town and get some R and R. That made him smile, well when Desta got back from her friend's sleep over he would see where everyone wanted to go and then he would start planning. Smiling he forgot about his headache for the first time that week.

If I do no get any reveiws from ya'll I will not post on this story any more. This is my first story so flames should be easyer than most, k? amanda
