Gaia's POV
Why was it us? Why, of all the people in the whole damn world, did it have to be us? Don't get me wrong, it's kinda cool to have supernatural powers and all, but every now and then it would be nice to be normal. Every time we get anywhere near it, something happens and drags us back into the world we try to leave behind. It's like a nightmare, but we know we won't wake up at the end, because we can't. Because it's real.
We were born normal. We all have normal parents. Mine still live in America with my older brother. He's normal too. My parents totally freaked out when they found out that their 'little girl' can destroy a house just by looking at it. It first showed when I was ten years old, still living in Tennessee with my family. I was with my brother, and we were exploring an old house across the road from ours, when we heard something behind us. Being kids, we assumed it must be a ghost who had, naturally, haunted the house for centuries, so we got out as fast as we could to avoid coming face to face with it. When we were out, I was still a bit spooked. I thought how it was really creepy to have a haunted house near us, so I wanted it gone. I looked back at the house and told it to crumble into ruins. It did, right in front of our eyes, with no warning. That was the day everything changed.
My parents were scared of me. They didn't say as much, but it showed. Eventually they sent me to boarding school in England, where I met the others. We all had the same problem, the same detail that made us all different, so we became friends. The weirdest thing is that we all have pretty much the same history, as well. Ryelle's house caught on fire, Alyssa's house was flooded, Diana's garden was so overgrown that it was dangerous to walk through it in case of snakes, etc... All catastrophes that we dealt with, and subsequently came into our powers.
In due time we found out about our spiritual parents and patrons, as well. Our parents are, of course, the elements, but we've all got a different god or goddess as a last resort if ever we really need help. Sometimes they have the same names as us as well, although they generally prefer their Greek names to the Latin ones. Mine is Gaea, Ryelle's is Athena, Clio has all the Muses behind her, Sephy's is Persephone, Kasmira's is Zeus (do not, if you value your skin, call him Jupiter!), Cassie's is Aphrodite, Alyssa is Neptune (the one exception to the rule. He prefers his Latin name to Poseidon), and Diana is, of course, Artemis. Anyway. Back to the story.
We moved to Japan together when we were fourteen. We had had enough of boarding school, and we wanted a life of our own. We were all very good at languages, so we decided to move to Japan. So we told our parents about it. They weren't too happy, to say the least, but after a lot of phone calls, even more begging and a few threats we got our own way.
We went to the local high school for a year or two, then I got into one fight too many, so I got chucked out and the others followed me, so we came to Han'a High. Which is great, apart from the fact that there's a bunch of smart-ars boys with armour who are acting like they're God's gift to the world. Which is wrong, cause we are! What gets me the most is that they think they've had it real bad and everything, like they're the only ones who have problems. Maybe we're not the ones that need to wake up. Maybe it's them. They don't seem to realize that we're in the middle of a war. A war that's breaking out because they couldn't damn well finish what they started and kill Talpa. And now we have to do it for them. Gits.
I need to calm down. I could end up hurting someone if I just let all my bitter feelings loose at once. Cause that's what I am.
Bitter.
