"What the hell? You can't be seventy-three!" Coming from Tori, not surprising. But she had a point, how could Zara be that old? And she looked like a teenage girl. She could even be younger than us.
"Genetic modification. I managed to remove the spell, I age normally now," Zara began. "But it's harder to explain our powers. So, about eighty years ago, two stupid teenage British wizards decided they wanted to rule the world, and enslave supernaturals. So they wanted to create two modified supernaturals, with the powers of all supernaturals, a supreme ruling couple, so to speak. Now shamans have been collecting blood from every supernatural from the past thousand years. The two wizards bought it to put in their creation. But they were cruel and really stupid, so they hired necros to rip part of every supernatural soul from the past millennium and stuff it in their creations. Now they wanted a legal way to easily conquer a lot of the countries, so they took the blood and souls from each of the rulers and their families of every single country that is or has been in this world. To make it more legal, they kidnapped an Indian princess, and an Australian princess. They wiped them from everyone's mind, so they have never been alive according to history books. Each of them raped and impregnated one of the princesses. The Indian princess got pregnant first, and so they assumed that the child would be a boy. They were sexist and thought men were superior to women, so obviously, the older child would be male. While the children were still in the womb, they put the spirit fragments and the blood in them. They put more in the Indian princess's child, since they assumed it was male, and less in the Australian princess's child, since they assumed it was female. Now, when the children were born, they realized they had made a huge mistake. They had mixed the elemental half-demon blood, and there was a consequence to that. Five children were born from each mother, and the stress was too great, so the princesses died. One of the children from each mother had the powers they wanted, and they were young enough to be manipulated. The other four from each princess were elemental half-demons. The power of each element doubled itself in hatred of the other elements. Half the doubled power went into the children who had all the powers, and the other half went into the half-demon children. Once the wizards realized this, they found out that they couldn't kill the half-demons without taking the powers out of the children with all the powers. They also found out that they were stupid to assume the gender of the children, since the older, stronger one ended up being female." Zara looked up at us. "The children sit in front of you. Ani, Aqua, Spark, Clay, Avir, Arlen, Flame, and Chip are the elemental half-demons. Mason and I are the supernaturals they created."
Our jaws dropped, except Andrew's. He probably heard this before, since he was the only one who knew Zara. She had every single power. She could raise the dead, shapeshift, and everything every supernatural could do. Wow.
"Anyway, we lived there for a while, and they treated us well, fed and clothed us. We were like normal kids. But, when we turned eight, I came across them and happened to read their minds. I heard everything, and how they were using us. My powers came in four years before my siblings', and before I could broadcast what I hear to them. So when I told them, they didn't believe. So I stayed quiet. But when we were twelve, I proved it by broadcasting to them. They believed me and we attacked the two wizards. They were more experienced than us, though, and they captured us. They froze us in blocks of magical ice that prevented us from using our powers or aging. We stayed in those blocks for fifty-one years. It was torture. We didn't have to get and education, since the soul fragments in us knew a lot. They stuck needles in us so we didn't have to eat, drink or breathe. We could only see, hear and think. In the year 1999, right before the end of the millennium, they were going to release us, and manipulate us to take over the world. Actually, they had taught new, younger stronger wizards to take over the world, since they were old. They began melting the ice at our feet, and one of them was stupid enough to grope Ani while she was helpless in the ice. It was my little sister, so I got really mad and lost control of my powers. I turned that place and the men who experimented on us to ash. We escaped and were in hiding for a year. I hacked their computers, learned about what they did to us; how they killed our parents, and I killed they rest of their group in England in a blind rage. I calmed down, and we moved here, to New York, where I heard about more experiments. I didn't want anyone else to suffer like we did so I built five safehouses in the US and three in Canada. Three of the Edison Group's sister experiments failed thanks to us. We've gotten supernatural adults to stay at the safehouses to supervise, and welcome newcomers. Each of the safehouses has about a dozen people in it. This is the first one we built so it is the biggest, and since I live here, we can change it however we want. We visit the other ones periodically to make sure they are safe. There's actually no need to worry, the only way the Edison Group can find us is if Ani, Aqua, Spark, Clay, Avir, Arlen, Flame, Chip, Mason, or I betray us, and we can read each other's mind so it's impossible."

We all stared, openmouthed, after she told us her story. It was a lot to take in. That people had been messing with supernatural powers for such a long time, wow. And I thought I had it bad. I could think of nothing to say, and we all sat in silence for a few minutes.
"From what all of you are thinking, it was a lot to take in. You guys seem pretty tired, I suggest you pick a room and go to sleep, you can think about it in the morning." Zara smiled.
Everyone got up, and everyone but Mason and Zara headed to bed. As I was leaving, I heard Zara say, " Hey bro, I'm going for a run. Don't wait up for me." I turned to watch her and nearly screamed when she smoothly turned into a panther and softly padded out the door.
God, was this place odd. I didn't have time to think on it though, because the moment I reached an unoccupied room, I collapsed on the bed and fell asleep almost immediately. As darkness enveloped me, I wondered what the morning was going to be like.
