Of Fire and Ice

I do not own W.I.T.C.H sorry just not meant to I guess.

A/N There may be slight glimpse of the weirdness she will face when she meets up with the other girls.

Chapter 2

We both say, "Love you too mom." She walks out the door, gets in her car and drives away. My brother looks at me with the, you-are-going-to-do-what-I-say look. 'It's going to be a long evening.' He just sneers at me and sighs as he got ready. I look down on the floor and wonder if I'll ever have any friends. We go to the near by basketball park and I see all of his friends just sneering at me.

One of his buddies asks, "Who's the kid?"

MY brother groans and says, "Look I had to bring my kid sister or else mom would've grounded me."

A girl looks at me and scares me a little I manage to get out a "Hi." She just scoffs and says, "Man she such a sissy girl and not to mention ugly."

I bow up in the back and say, "Excuse me Miss thang but at home I kick my own brother's butt on a one on one game. I know I'm no stuck up beauty queen like you but this sissy girl can shoot hoops."

She laughs and says, "Ok prove it sissy."

I go to half court and shoot nothing but nets. I shoot again and still make the basket. I make bank shots and swirl shots. They all look shocked and my brother groans at me. He growls, "TARANEE DID YOU HAVE TO DO THAT TO ME!"

I smile innocently and ask, "Do what older brother put you to shame? Or steal a little bit of your fame?"

My brother grunts and says, "Both why don't you just go somewhere? So I can hang with my gang."

The girl says, "Well not bad maybe you're not as much as a sissy as I thought." I let them all shoot yes it was a little fun putting my bro in his place a little. They still looked at me as a sissy faced dork. I just walk over to the other side of the park leaving my bro to play. I find a cricket with an interesting pattern on it so I get out my magnifying glass and look at it closely. I smile and finally found another hobby other than staying coup up in the house. 'Mom doesn't need to worry about me so I'll make my bro look good. It would save us both the agony and it won't be all lies.' The cricket jumps on my arm and I smile at this. "You feel sorry for me buddy you're an interesting looking cricket. I won't box you up or anything I'm glad to make at least one actual friend." The cricket plays its song and I smile at this.

I hear some strange sounding teens talking. They sound like they got hit by a truck with their slurring and that. No it would be drugs we went over about in school. I just smile at my cricket but then suddenly I smell smoke and look behind me. I see flames which scared me but I couldn't move. I feel the heat and faint from the smell not to mention the sight.

I wake up on the couch and I see both dad and my brother looking at me. I hold my head and ask "Bro, Dad what happened?"

They sigh in relieve and my bro says, "Some drug teens set the ground on fire and you were surrounded by flames. What's whacked is there are no burns on you as close as that fire was I would think you'd get burned a little."

Dad looks at my brother and asks, "Did you exclude your sister again Peter? Where you with her when the flames surrounded her or did you just ignore her again?"

He says, "Um…No I didn't ignore her I…"

I answer, "I need to take a brake from all the running and playing I did. Don't be mad at him I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Dad sighs and hugs me says, "Hon you need to be more careful. I don't know what I would've done if something horrible happened to you."

I nod and say, "I know dad I'm sorry." My dad looks at my brother with a disappointed look and sighs.

He says, "Peter you need to keep a closer eye on her. She is only 9 you know."

My brother hangs his head and says, "You're right dad."

Dad smiles and says, "But thank you for being responsible and calling me to tell me what happened."

My brother nods and goes to his room. Dad just looks at me funny and asks, "What's wrong sweetheart?"

'My own bro doesn't like me. His friends think I'm a sissy and I made a fool of myself. It's all the usual but I won't say anything.' "Just tired dad that's all, don't worry so much."

Mom gets home and we have the usual take out dinner. She looks really sleepy so I just eat kiss my parents good night and go to bed. 'Why didn't I get burned? My brother is right the flames were so close why didn't they burn me? Oh well there must be an answer but I'm too tired to look into it.'

The first actual chapter finished. YAY and its 3 pages long I'm so happy. I'm already getting hits on this story I'm hoping it will be a hit.
