I will most likely post every 2 weeks or 1 week because it takes a while to write a chapter because they are long.
Chapter 1
I’m Jenna Czary; it means “magic.” When I was younger I didn’t know how true that would be. Okay, let me start at the beginning. I want to let you know that this could happen to you, you could be like me, and to tell you the truth. That would be bad. My life had brought unimaginable hardships and troubles. But I shouldn’t frighten you too much, should I?
Let me begin. I was born in Alexandria, Egypt; I am not even 2% Egyptian. I’ll explain. My mom and dad were avid travelers. They went everywhere, and they were very secretive. Even when I was no more than 14 months I was traveling with them. As I became older I began to wonder why we were leaving so suddenly, without saying goodbye, and always being cautious.
My parents even used fake names. We were the Smiths. No one would suspect that I heard them saying to each other one August evening. I was getting worried, I was only eight, I wish I had been smarter, because then I wouldn’t be half-dead by the time I was eleven.
Back to the story, we finally went to Vienna, Austria. My family history was there. I was 97% Austrian. I had been there over ten times, but that time was my last. My mom, Jessica Czary and Dad, Malcolm Czary were especially nervous that day. I didn’t know why at that time but I eventually found out someone was following us.
Their deaths were my fault. The person wanted me, not them, but my parents wouldn’t let them take me away. I was ten when that happened. I ran away, I ran and ran… and then collapsed. I woke up and was in a hospital, I don’t remember which. I was adopted by a woman, she was a nice and caring woman, and she always looked after me, never caring if I had a detention in school or a bad grade. I loved her, but that changed when she married him.
Him is Joe Narcas. He never cared for me. I have no clue why my “mother”, Joanna Lee, loved him. I choose to believe that it was to protect me from learning my identity. I had got amnesia after my parents died so I didn’t know what really happened, yet. She said his doubtfulness would make me second think myself and not believe I was special, I believe because she told me that right before she vanished.
Yeah, she didn’t die, I had to believe that, she just disappeared, I left the room for about ten minutes and she was gone, and in my two years since I ran away I haven’t heard or seen anything about her. I wish I had, she was my best friend. No one had understood me, if was because my “mom” was really my Aunt and she knew who I was. Believe me; I don’t even know who I am.
People I have trained with tell I should’ve never been born and others have tried to kill me. I flick my wrist and they fly against the wall. I am magic. I just wish I wasn’t.

“Whaaat?” I woke up with a gigantic headache. I felt like I had been microwaved for five minutes too long. “Oww.” I tried to stand up. Well that was a fail.
“Back away!!” I heard a female voice say, it sounded scared, even though obviously I was no threat.
“What? Where am I?” I asked.
“Who are you?” The girl’s voice replied, now cold and stiff.
“I’m Jenna Czary.” I said. “Now please tell me where we are and who you are?” The room was pitch black. I couldn’t see anything.
“Fine, I am Jane Hewitt. You are at my safe house on the coast of Jersey City. Happy?”
“Very.” I said sarcastically. And then she did something that surprised me, she laughed.
“Sorry, about that. Sam wanted to make sure you were one of us.” She said, truly sorry.
“Sam?” I asked. Then a guy came out of the shadows.
“That’s me.”
“What do you mean one of us?”
“We are special, we use magic.”
“Great joke. Now are you escapee from a mental institute?” I joked.
“Been there, done that.” Replied Sam, deadly serious, but with a sly grin that made me wanted to back away.
“Your scaring her Sam!” she playfully punched him arm. At that point I was getting weirded out, big time.
“Okay,” the girl, Jane said. “We can use magic,” she paused. “but you have to believe us; we need everyone we can find. We need you.” I was actually believing her, I knew when people were lying. And the scary thing was, she wasn’t lying, not one bit.
“I, I believe you.” I sighed. What was happening with my life?
“Well then,” Sam said trying to break the awkward pause.
That night I felt the most at home. “Let’s eat.”
It might’ve not been much but I hadn’t ate for a day. We made a fire, courtesy of Sam, who apparently can bend fire to his will. After we finished eating we just sat there. I know it sounds really stupid but I needed to absorb what I had just experienced.
“Okay? So what now?” I asked.
“We sleep.” Jane said casually.

After a few days I started to get used to everything weird. Jane and Sam become sort of second family to me. Well, at least I thought I could get used to everything.
“Wait? You said we were magic? What can you or me do?” I asked, wondering if I was actually magic.
“Me? Okay then. My specialty is water, snow, sea, ocean, blah, blah, blah.” Jane said as she reached into the air and extracted water molecules and formed them into a ‘snowball’. “Cool, huh?”
I nodded. “What can I do?”
They shrugged, “It’s whatever you do, try what we did and others and we’ll find out.”
I tried both and I had no luck. Then I did something that startled them. I waved my hand in front of my face like I always did when I was sweaty, a gust of wind brushed against my face softly. Ah, relaxing.
“What did you do?!” asked Sam.
“I am cooling myself off, duh.” Sam and Jane moved to back and whispered quietly. I heard little bits and pieces of it. “Wind? How…didn’t know…no one told me…dangerous…more?” That was all I heard, I figured out I was dangerous and they didn’t know about me. Oh and there may be more like us, and that sums it up.
“Jenna your—your extraordinary, we didn’t know, there, there could be more.” Said Jane excitedly.
“Okay?” I said, “Let’s train?”
“Oh… yeah. We need to train. Let’s pair up; the winner will move on, it’s predictable that I and Sam will never beat each other, since water/fire, so we’ll take turns going against you.” Jane replied.
“Okay, Jenna, me and you now.” Sam said.
We started; I had no clue what to do. He threw a fire ball at me, I dodged and ran back. Stop, I commanded myself, I had to fight. With all my power I imagined an intense circle of wind, and when I looked in my hand, there it was! I lashed it at Sam, who didn’t expect it, he stumbled backwards. I laughed, “I win!”
“One outta…five?” he asked warily.
“No comment.” I joked back. “Bring it on Jane. I love the feel of winning.” I smiled and she nodded evilly, I could tell she was clever.
She stepped forward quickly, thrust her hand out and shot water at me, I dodged and shot wind back. The cycle repeated for several minutes, finally we became too tired and just sat, breathing heavily.
“Wow, what a workout.” I said, exhausted.
“Yeah, but that’s not the worst of it,” she said, I could tell she’d seen the evils of the world, and loathed it immensely.
“You see there are these ‘people’.” She made air quote on the word people, “They want to kill, injure, maim, and etc. because they believe that we shouldn’t be the way we are, to them we are evil. And the worst thing is…” she gulped, “they ‘brainwash’ children, our age and younger, into thinking that we are evil, so we have to hurt, or kill, people we don’t know, people that could’ve been our friends, because they could kill us first, and would, if they had the chance.” Then she smiled, “But they almost never do.”
I nodded; Jane was seriously freaking me out. She was nice, don’t get me wrong, but sometimes, I saw her warrior side, and boy, she was ruthless.
“We have to go tomorrow,” Sam interrupted. “we can’t stay here forever. They’ll find us.”
“Yeah,” Jane said sadly, “I know, especially with her.” She looked at me.
“So, where to?” I asked.
“Okay, here’s the thing--we don’t know.” Sam said.
know.” Sam said.
There you go!
