The kids with powers. Kids who are wanted killed

Chapter 1
The searing pain in her left arm was too much to handle. She dropped to her knees to the soft carpeted floor, her long red har falling in her face while clutching her left arm to her chest as tears ran down her face. Soon it was not just her left arm her whole body felt like it was on fire she felt as if she was burning alive. But just as soon as the pain started it stopped sending a chill up her spine. She looked down to her arm to see a black tattoo-like image of the number 10 appear on her arm. It looked eerily similar to the number 4 on her other arm.

As soon as she regained her lost strength she got up from her knees still clutching her left arm to her chest and slowly walked down the hallway listening to the way some of the old oak floorboards creek. She walked down the stairs and turned left to go to her parents' bedroom. She was trembling as she lightly knocked on the old wooden door. She looked down at her bare feet waiting for the door to open. After a few seconds

The father took his eyes off his daughter's electric blue like eyes and traced them down to her arm with the number 4 on it. He traced over the tattoo-like number on her arm with his large, rough fingers making her giggle from the ticklish feeling filling her arm.

Worry filled rivers stomach the feeling of butterflies arouse in her stomach. “Papa…?” she asked, furrowing her thin brown eyebrows, a crinkle forming in between them. “Why do you look so scared?” She continued worried as to what is wrong.
