Chapter One: Hidden Powers

'Nothing exciting ever happens to me,' Stephanie complained miserably. 'How boring.'

It had been another boring school day, the kind of day that makes you think that the day will never end. Stephanie was trudging home from the bus station tiredly. She didn't think she could've lasted another minute at her high school. Exams were coming and she had to study for all four of her courses. What a knock out! She had a lot of studying to do!

Stephanie got out her keys and entered through the front gate that kept out intruders. She strode down the boardwalk lined with shrubs and entered the underground parking lot of the townhouses where she lived. She went up to the door marked 15 and opened the door.

"Hey mom," Stephanie mumbled to her. "I'm home."

"How was school?" her mother inquired.

"Boring," was the reply as Stephanie headed up the stairs to her room.

"I'm going to get your sister soon," she called up to the retreating back of her daughter.

"Whatever." She continued her trek up.

Her mother sighed and went to get ready to leave.

Stephanie plopped down on her bed, dropping her textbooks on the ground beside her. She looked around the room that she shared with her little sister. The walls were all bare. Unlike her friend's homes, she didn't have papers or posters on her wall. All that was on the walls were a calendar and an Inuyasha poster. Talk about a colourful room!

Stephanie got up and went to her table. She picked up her books on the way and dropped them heavily on the table. She sat down and opened her books, but her mind wandered off. She imagined the posters she would have on her walls: Beyblades, Yu-Gi-Oh, Inuyasha and so many more. She can almost see every little detail; from an eyelash to a strand of hair. She could just see it right in front of her…

Stephanie gasped in astonishment as she quickly snapped out of her reverie. She couldn't believe what had just happened right before her eyes.

All around the room, posters dotted every inch of the walls. A lot of them were anime related posters but there were others that weren't. Now how did she turn a dream into reality?

Stephanie fell off her chair in fear. This was scary. What had just happened? Was there something wrong with her? She looked outside at the swirling blizzard and shivered. She pinched herself and winced. Guess she wasn't dreaming. She looked at the posters with terror-stricken eyes. This can't really be happening. Oh how she wished that the stupid posters would just go away and leave her alone…

The amulet around her neck glowed with an ethereal light. Stephanie gasped in shock as the posters on the wall melted away into nothingness.

The wind howled outside.

Stephanie looked uneasily at the amulet that hung around her neck. She could still remember the day when she had picked up the necklace…

¤ ¤ ¤Flashback¤ ¤ ¤

Stephanie rushed home from the bus station. The skies looked like they were about to pour on her. As if to emphasize her thoughts, a rumbled sounded in the distance.

'Better get home before the heavens pour down on me.' Stephanie mumbled inwardly.

Just as she was passing by the creek that ran through her neighbourhood, a shining object by the water caught her eye. Without thinking, she slid down the grassy slope to it.

It was a necklace. A dragon wrought of gold curled around a gemstone that sparkled with rainbow colours. Stephanie picked it up looking at it curiously. It was still warm, as if it had been dropped recently. When she picked it up, a shock went up her arm and all over her body.

She dropped it in surprise. Than, she shook her head. It was probably the electricity from the storm. Nothing to worry about.

Putting it on, she tucked it under her shirt. Stepping up the grassy slope, she headed home, trying not to think about the necklace. It was just a stupid necklace…

¤ ¤ ¤End¤ ¤ ¤

Stephanie looked at the necklace now. It didn't look very stupid now. Right now, the necklace hung placidly around her neck. It looked harmless, really. It was probably nothing; she wasn't the type to be superstitious. There was nothing to worry about.

Right?

"I can't find my Civics textbook!" Stephanie wailed when she got to school the next day.

"Can't help you here, Steph." Alyssa, her friend said.

Tears welled up in Stephanie's eyes. "My Civics teacher is gonna kill me!"

"Don't worry. You'll find it sooner or later." She looked down the empty hallway. "Well, gotta go. See you later!" And with that, she walked away.

Stephanie sighed. She had to have that textbook. She still had to finish her work for it. Stephanie looked around worriedly and sighed. Oh how she wished that her textbook were here. How could she have been so stupid?

The jewel pulsed with power. Stephanie screamed. Her scream echoed through the empty hallway. When she opened her eyes, her Civics textbook was on the ground beside her, looking as if it had always been there.

Stephanie looked at it in shock. She couldn't believe it. How had it appeared right when she had needed it? Was it just a coincidence? She was never the superstitious type but this? She looked down at her textbook than the amulet.

Stephanie slowly slid down to the floor, her heart filling with dread. With her powers, her future looked pretty bleak. Burying her face into her hands, she started to cry.
