Here is the beginning of a story I’m writing and I hope you like it! Note: I put ~ around the parts that are supposed to be italicized. =-=-=-=-= Daria stared at her reflection in the water for what felt like an hour. Why was nothing happening? Water must not be her calling. She sadly sat down and sighed. No matter how much she tried, Daria couldn’t feel a connection to the elements. Everyone else in her family did. “You don’t feel it?” Daria’s older sister, Eliza asked. She motioned the water to go up and it splashed in Daria’s face. “Hey! What did Mom tell you about taking advantage of your power?” “You’re just jealous you don’t even ~have~ a power.” Daria knew Eliza had just crossed the line, but she kept her red-hot temper to herself. She didn’t want to start another argument. Daria got up off the sandy beach and walked over to her thinking place, the rocks. The rocks weren’t just any rocks, they were magical rocks that could possibly help one discover their power. Daria had gone there so many times the rocks felt like her home. She thought her hardest about manifesting a power but never got one. Maybe this time it would work. Daria sat down by a large rock and closed her eyes. She thought about all the elements. Nothing. She closed her eyes tighter and thought harder. Still nothing. Daria was so frustrated she began to scream. Soon she felt pain, but it wasn’t from all the screaming. It was something else. Something very, ~very~ powerful. Daria felt something eerily familiar about the pain, like it had always been a part of her. Like it was just unlocked and coming out. She screamed again but this time it felt strong. This was really happening. Daria had found her power. But how could she know it was supposed to be like this? She felt the cool air whip against her face, then she opened her eyes. Daria was up in the sky, higher than the village that it only looked like a cluster of dots. She opened her mouth to call out for help but nothing came out. A sudden flash of lightning struck her but she felt nothing. Daria felt power inside of her for the very first time. Without thinking, she thrusted her hands out and time seemed to stop right at that moment. Daria looked around her to see the wind stop in midair and looked down to see the ocean waves stay still in the air. ~But that’s impossible~ she thought. Daria released her power and started to fall. Once she hit the ground, she heard everyone in the village shouting at each other before the world went black. =-=-=-=-= I hope it’s not too long ^^’ Credits: All the writing by me Peace out <3 This is kinda rushed but I still like it. If you’re confused by the lightning bit it’s just meant to show how powerful and invincible Daria’s becoming. Don’t worry I’ll think of a title for my story soon xD I worked really hard on this just so you know.
