I Am Destruction
Ally's POV
"Come on!" Lucas shouted at me.
"But I don't want to go. We could get in serious trouble for this! Stealing is bad!" I protested. Lucas, my best friend since the beginning was trying to convince me into some late night shop stealing.
"Oh come on Ally. It's going to be quick. We'll get in and then get out I'm starving!" he said sliding down from the rooftop and hitting the ground with a perfect landing. I rolled my eyes and slid down the rooftop landing perfectly as he inhaled the fresh air. "Mhm, smells like a great night to go riff rafting." He said slinging his beat up bag over his shoulder. Lucas and I were both 16. Our dads have been friends through everything and so have we. Sad part is he has powers and I don't which makes me an outcast to society. Lucas is my only friend and always has been.
"We are not going riff rafting." he sighed and grabbed my wrist dragging me through the long dirt path.
We lived in a small town. Not many people who were Sirens lived here but many fire warriors or followers of the fire king lived here which meant trouble for us as usual. Nothing really happens around here. The biggest news that has happened so far is probably when the water pump broke...yeah I know lame.
We ducked under a rooftop as the rain poured hard from the dark sky.
"Why do we have to go out in the pouring rain?" I complained wishing I had my coat. "Be adventurous Ally. Just because you have no powers doesn't mean you have to act like a lame human. Now follow me." he ordered. He pointed over to "Cosmos" a famous restaurant known for it's good entertainment and specialty of delicious gourmet meals.
Every true Corinthian dreamed of having enough money to get into that 5 star restaurant. But only fire warriors were allowed inside since it was owned by a famous warrior.
Our shoes splashed across puddles of water as we made our way over to the restaurant. They sound of people laughing and petty fire girls giggling were heard from all the way out here. Lucas felt around the building touching its walls carefully. His eyes turned a silver color as he smiled. He was really good at navigating things, especially from the inside of a building. It was a special power only a few rare Sirens actually got and thankfully Lucas was one of them.
"To get inside we'd have to go through the top and shimmy through the chimney it will be hard so I'll have to go down by myself." he said climbing a ladder to the top of the building.
"I can't believe were stealing food from this place! Do you know how many people would die to step foot in Cosmos?" I said as I started to climb the ladder. Lucas jumped over the railing of the building and got on his knee's searching through his bag. "Yeah I know cool right? We'll be legends Ally!" he chimed as he pulled out a harness and a rope.
"Ok Ally listen carefully. I'm going to get in this harness and then clip the end of the rope to the railing and then freeze it ok? You with me so far?" he said slowly. I slapped his arm.
"Just because I have no powers doesn't mean you have to talk to me like a baby Lucas. I pretty capable of doing this."
"Yeah sure..anyways, use this remote and press the down button it will lower me enough to grab something out of the kitchen." he said putting on the harness. He ran over to the rail clipping it to the metal and held his hand over the ropes freezing it completely.
He jumped onto the chimney positioning himself for the mission or whatever this was called. "Ok here." he tossed me the remote.
"Lets do this." he chimed with a smirk. I rolled my eyes at his enthusiastic statement pressed the down button as he slowly started to go slide deep inside the chimney.
Suddenly sticks of ice shot up from the chimney. This was our usual signal for 'keep going'. I pressed the down button until I was sure he was inside the kitchen. I didn't know how we were going to get away with this but with Lucas anything can happen. "Well isn't Dally."
I turned around to see Jacob and his other crew members. Jacob was the neighborhood bully. He was always picking on me and would always use his powers for no such thing as good.
"My names Ally not Dally." I retorted back. He gave me a look, "Whatever. You know you're not supposed to be outside past curfew. Kings orders."
"And here you are Jacob out past curfew." I said rolling my eyes at his idiotic remark.
"Ha! You know the king doesn't like you Sirens. You're nothing but trash. We should have wiped out your whole nation and left your parents to die!" He yelled. Suddenly he looked at the ropes and he smiled wickedly. "Out with that no good trouble maker Lucas?" he asked cockily.
"He's not a trouble maker."
"Wow, she has no powers and can lie too! You are something Ally." he said with an amused smile as his friends started to laugh.
"Shut up." I snapped. Suddenly the laughter died and he looked at me coldly. "What did you just say?" he asked taking a step towards me. "I- i..."
His hand erupted in flames as he held a fist tightly. "I wouldn't want to catch you on fire now would I?" He asked manically. I took a step back as he laughed wickedly. My body hit the railing as I realized this was as far as I could go.
Like a flash of lightning, 3 balls of brick hard ice hit the back of Jacob's head knocking him out. The two guys panicked and jumped off the roof disappearing into the night.
"Why didn't you warn me!" Lucas yelled taking off the harness and shoving it into the bag. He grabbed the remote out of my hand and shoved it into the bag as well. He slung it over his shoulders as he came up to me. "I-i'm sorry. I didn't know what to do. It's not like I could scream."
"Well a nice little tug on the rope would have done me some good. I had to freeze the chimney and crack holes in the ice just so I could get up here. Do you know how much evidence will be left behind?" he snapped climbing down the ladder. I followed behind him as we ran across the dirt road and over to a shop awning.
"Ugh Lucas it's like 11:45. I have to go home now, dad will kill me if he finds out I'm out past curfew."
He groaned, "Ok fine. Same time tomorrow?" he asked with a smile. "We are not going anymore riff rafting." I said walking away.
I ran down the dirt path passing two houses. I quietly sneaked past the neighbors front yard and up to my front door. Just as I was about to open it the door swung open. "Allison."
"H-hey dad." I stuttered nervously. I was in big trouble now. "Where have you been!? It's past curfew no scratch that way past curfew! Why are you disobeying my orders Allison." he asked. I shrugged and walked inside. "I'm sorry dad. I was just out with Lucas that's all."
"Oh so Lucas was out too?"
"Please dad don't get him in trouble. Please?" I begged. He gave an aggravated sigh, "Ok fine. But bed now." he demanded. I smiled at him and kissed his cheek running up the stairs and up to my room slamming the door shut.
