I VOLUNTEER TO START THIS ROLEPLAY!!!!! as said by Top, WE CAN'T LET THIS THREAD DIE!!!!

We should start with a peek into our normal lives.

Oh, and a suggestion. Maybe at some point in the RP there can be people called Hunters who, well, try to capture us and use us for...dunno, we'll come up with it.

I tuck a lock of my hair behind my ear and gaze out into the orphanage garden...if you could call it that. The flowers were not wilted, but their colors seemed to have a faded hue, like when you see an old photograph. It's the kind of color you can't really pinpoint what's dull about it. All the vegetables were either dead or barely growing, and those hid themselves beneath leaves, too embarrassed at their pathetic appearance to come out.

I sighed and threw a rock across the pond. It skipped in perfect arches, and kept skipping until it knocked into the fence. I was actually very bad at rock skipping; I always cheat and let the rock bounce of its own accord.

I should probably explain. 

I have always had a way with...moving things without touching them. I can set the table without even moving.  I don't know how or why. I just can. I can pluck an apple from a tree a block away (though it takes more effort) I can make butterflies land on me whether they like it or not. But i've only done that once. As much as I like experimenting with my powers, I can't stand the idea of controlling another living creature. Even if it causes no pain, it's wrong. It's like the Imperius or the Cruciatus curse from Harry Potter ( I am very fond of those books).

During my last few months with Mom, she was significantly more sharp, distant, and cold with me. I realized then, now that I was old enough, that I was a burden to her. I let myself slip into desolateness, and when she abandoned me, it was like a shot. It hurt horribly for about five seconds, and then I went numb. Nothing could ever hurt me again.

As I toyed with a leaf and made it dance in the air, I grew so drowsy I fell asleep.

 
I dreamed. I always dream.

I dreamed I was sitting next to a black-haired, slightly tanned girl. We were feeling very happy when a wind came out of nowhere and took us away. I heard a cold, chilling voice cry, "Use your powers to your utmost." The the voice changed to a stern but more informative and less evil-soundinjg voice. "You are not alone...find the ones like you...find the family changing gem...protect yo-" The voice changed again. "They are using you! What have they done for you? Jon us, and be forever free..." 

And then I woke up.

What was going on? The evil voice seemed to be trying to persuade me to pick one option over another, but I had neither option. It seemed from the future...

But the other voice was giving me advice...for now.

I didn't know what I had to do but I did know one thing: it wasn't skipping stones and levitating leaves.
