Chapter 1: Worst Birthday

In the year of 3223, my whole life changed. I was called a murderer, I faced criticism, I felt lonely but I think I deserved it. For three years in my life I carried the guilt of killing my sister Julie and my boyfriend John.

It all happened on my 18th birthday party on 28th August 3223. I had invited all my friends and of course John. The party was going beautifully to me but then it turned into a nightmare when I found John and Julie having sex.

My anger was on maximum. I felt so betrayed at the moment and I was deeply thinking what would make John do such a thing to me. A scared breaking voice interrupted my deep thoughts as tears ran down my cheek.

"I can..... explain.... it's not what you think..... I didn't mean to—" John said. Before he could finish, I interrupted.

"Didn't mean to what! To get caught? You've acted too cheap. Now it's time for you to pay for your actions" I shouted and I just couldn't think of clearly.

Julie had opened her mouth wanting to say something but before a word came out of her mouth she was burning. They asked for my help but I let them burn.

Smoke started fuming the building and everyone was panicking. Layla, my friend and a water star came to the rescue. She turned out the fire with her water magic. She was my weakness. Everyone looked at me with different looks as I had no change of expression. They started whispering that I'm a murderer as if I couldn't hear them. My mom was crying and my dad was standing in shock.

There, I was with flames still sparking on me when my mom slapped me knowing I was the cause. I bared the pain of the hot slap as my mom yelled at me dispicably. As for dad, one look would tell it all. With flames in his eyes and steam from his ears, I was afraid to say a word.

Before he could utter a word, the police had already arrived at the crime scene. The unrecognizable dead bodies were taken by the ambulance to confirm the identities. Looks at me could tell that I was the one. I was taken away by the police as my fake friends posted the tragedy. Oh dear, how I hate my 18th birthday.

I was then put in a cell full of other women with a collar to suppress our magic. Meanwhile, my story was trending on social media and it was the talk of the week. I got famous for killing mercilessly yet it wasn't the thing. Nobody talked about the shameless thing Julie and John did to me. In other words, no one heard my story.

**************

The bodies were examined and some tests were done to confirm the identities. Vivid burst into tears when the report showed that it was her daughter's body. Shawn tried to comfort his wife but the pain was close to unbearable. John's mother Sarah was uncontrollably crying as she laid her eyes on the lifeless body of her son. The terror left the two families in complete trauma.

Spending a night in prison is complete hell. I was bullied by some girl called Winter and her group. She had snow eyes that could easily show the kind of star she is. She was around my age but a little bit taller than me. She was around my size. She had beautiful white hair. She was too good to be true. I did everything they told me as I still wanted my life.

I got tired. I was working too much. I woke up immediately after feeling sudden wetness on my bed and body. It was winter. She poured water on me.

I came out of the bed quickly as I was maximumly angry. I have anger issues. I slapped her without hesitating a bit. Everyone shockingly kept quiet for the moment.

"How could you?" Winter asked while touching the cheek I slapped. She pulled my hair and a fight started. Everyone was cheering. They formed a circle so that we could fight.

I had nothing else to do. I had to defend myself or else I could get bruises all over me. Oh God, let the officer notice.

Winter swung her fist and I dodged it. She attacked like three times while I'm dodging. She then swung her fist to my right and I spat some blood.

Where did she learn to hit this hard?

"Hey!" The officer shouted and everyone kept quiet and started doing their thing. I wiped my mouth and started doing the norm hence ignoring her. I looked at winter as I noticed her snow eyes starring at me. I have created an enemy. This is not what I wanted.

Early at the cemetery, a burial ceremony was taking place. Shawn was holding Vivie as she laid her head on his chest with tears running down her cheeks as she didn't want to look. The coffin was laid carefully and slowly down the ground.

I was not allowed to attend as I had just had a fight with winter. How I really hate that girl.

When the burial ceremony was over, Shawn and Vivie stayed. The pain of losing their youngest daughter to the oldest was really killing them now. They just couldn't believe that their 16 year old baby girl had died and they buried her.

Shawn stayed strong for Vivie all this time though it was paining him as much as Vivie and even more 'cause he was kinda close to Julie.

Everything at home changed for the couple. It's like they had buried their two daughters. One had a grave and the other.....
