  • Information: Modern day. There is a secret government prison known only as the Penitentiary. The only occupants are kids who have unnatural abilities. This is their only home, but their only desire is to be free. The Penitentiary is not like normal prisons. It is almost like a regular home and they all have their own personal rooms, but they are constantly monitored and have restricted freedoms.


    Layout of Penitentiary: There is a hallway with furnished bedrooms linking to the multipurpose room. The multipurpose room, or the MP is where the captives spend much of their free time. It is also where they eat their meals. A doorway in the MP leads to an outside yard, where in good weather, the captives play sports and just get fresh air.



    Abilities:
    Water: They can control and shape water. They can only make it rain if they are outside and there are already clouds in the sky. They can hold their breath for abnormally long periods of time and are natural swimmers. They can also walk across the surface of slow moving water. They can freeze and thaw ice and snow.


    Plants: They can accelerate the growth rate and control all plants. It is extremely difficult to make plants (especially trees) move about as if walking. They cannot make plants grow out of thin air. There has to be an existing plant or a seed. They are natural tree climbers and gardeners. They have a knack for restoring life to withering plants.


    Fire: They can control the intensity of a flame. They can make fire appear in their hands and are resistant to heat. Initially they create fire by drawing heat out of sunlight or animate objects.


    Earth: They can create minor earthquakes or make rifts in the ground. They can control rocks, dirt, etc. They can make the ground around them rise and fall. They are generally very strong.


    Wind: They can summon up winds and control them. By controlling the winds, they can make themselves float in the air and create small twisters. If they concentrate, they can listen to the wind which will whisper about the things it has seen. They can send concentrated winds as a sharp blast.


    Animal: They can morph into existing animals (this does not include mythological creatures). They inherit the instincts and abilities of the animal. However, they can only stay in the shape of an animal for a short period of time. The size of the animal they morph into determines how long they can stay in the morph. The bigger the animal, the less amount of time they can stay in the morph. They can understand and speak to other animals without morphing into them.


    Mind: They can read the thoughts of others and send them telepathic messages. By concentrating on something, they can move inanimate objects without touching them. They cannot move people, plants, animals, bugs, etc. Extremely large objects are very hard to move.


    Space: By standing very still, they can turn almost completely invisible. Whatever they are wearing turns invisible along with them. If they move too fast, the invisibility charm fades. However by moving very slowly, they can move while retaining their invisibility. They can also pass through objects and walls (whatever they are wearing comes with them). They cannot pass through the walls and containing units of the Penitentiary.

    Anita-
    I handed Evelyn another biscuit. "Here's another. Try not to burn this one. it's not like they grow on trees."

  • Anita-
    I turned to Sheyanne, trying to multitask dealing with Eve and her burning habits and help Anne practice telepathy. "Okay, i'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10,000. see if you can read it from my mind."

  • Evelyn-
    "Okay, okay. I'll close my eyes this time; and I won't peek, I promise." I told my best friend Anita.
    Evelyn tasted the biscuit but was confused by the taste.
    "What kind is this biscuit Anita?" I said with a hint of disgust.

  • Sheyanne
    "372?"I guessed trying to concentrate.

  • Anita-
    i bit my lip "Um... actually i don't really know what sort of biscuits these are. The Pen workers just brought them in." 'Pen' was our nickname for the Penitentiary.

  • The wind rushed by my ear as the trees brushed through my eyes as i zoomed through the forest. I, Blossom, a wind power in me, panted from tiredness for running as fast as the wind. They were catching up to me. They would get me in less than a minute if i didn't take off. I don't want to reveal my power in front of them, but i had no choice. I started a twister in my hand as i jumped into the air. As soon as i left the ground, a dart hit me in the leg and the pain went through my body as my tangled hair fell in my face. I felt myself falling from the air. I hit the ground with a great force. The last thing I saw was a tall thin woman with a sleeping dart gun in one hand and a walkie-talkie in the other. Then my vision went blank.

  • Anne


    "I know you're thinking about chocolate chip cookies Eve!" I laughed.

  • Evelyn-
    "Blech, this tastes like rotten peppers! I'm not eating this. That's my third biscuit today that tastes like something that would start my fire." Once I said that, my body felt like it was on fire.Uh, oh. I thought to myself. If I feel like I'm on fire, I just have to burn something.
    I stared at the disgusting biscuits that I just ate. Within seconds, the whole plate of biscuits burst into flames.
    "I didn't mean to you guys! How will I ever beat a record if I can't control my temper! Maybe I'll calm down if I eat some jell-o. Anita, please get me some jell-o. If you don't, I'll put a burn on you." I said craving for something yummy.

  • Blossom~
    I woke up to finding myself in a nicely furnished room. Everything seemed to have something to do with wind on it. I jumped out of the bed I was lying in and flew out of the room. I sped down a hall and turned a corner. Right as i turned the corner, I ran into a girl with a blue cap. As i looked around, i saw myself in a big room with 2 girls and a falcon. One girl was the one i ran into, the other had braids. The falcon landed on the floor and turned into another girl with neat hair. As I flew high in the air, I thought to myself, "Where am I, who are these people, are they all magic?"

  • Anita-
    "You wouldn't dare." with that, i concentrated on my body. i imagined a peregrine falcon and felt the familiar tickle rise on my arms, like goosebumps, but it wasn't cold.

    the next thing i knew, i was rising through the air on thermals coming through the heating vents.

    "Psst. Anita, the girl wants to know who we are" I said through my mind to Anita.

  • Anita-
    I looked down. the girl with messy black hair stood in the doorway leading to the bedrooms, watching Eve and Anne and myself as i soared up near the high ceiling. i concentrated, hoping Anne was still listening to my thoughts. "Well why don't you go introduce yourself then?"
