• Once upon a time…OH BLAH BLAH BLAH!! It actually wasn’t that long ago. Somewhere between fifteen and sixteen years ago, there were four babies born to the exact same hospital, or so that’s what I have been told. My father used to always tell me the story of those babies, before I actually met them in person. But I guess I should tell you how we (the Element Kids) got our powers. The very first of the babies born was Ami in 1993. After she was born, the doctors made a mistake and left her alone, coincidentally with a window open. Then, the unthinkable happened. DUN DUN DUN!! A short, hump-backed, gray-haired lady wearing a long, flowing pitch black cloak climbed through the open window. When she spotted Ami, she pulled her hood down. Through the security video I watched all the time, the lady had three giant warts, a pitted face, and a long crooked nose. It was a witch!!! She strode over to Ami, her eyes beady and bloodshot. She took her hand and reached deep into her cloak, while thrusting her other hand out in front of her. She pulled a vial of a turquoise colored liquid out and poured about a quarter of it into her palm. She replaced the vial into her cloak and let her arm drop down to her side. Then, she took a deep breath and blew onto the liquid. It exploded in a blur of orange and red light and that’s actually all that was left; a ball of light that floated above the witch’s hand. She moved her fingers around in a peculiar way and bright white sparks flew out of her fingers and engulfed the ball of light. It eventually created a ball of glowing orange and red energy. I had watched as the ball of energy was placed at the baby’s belly button, and effortlessly the witch pushed and the energy went into Ami’s body. It disappeared and in its place was an orange and red flame mark. The witch cackled loudly and limped out of the window (Some of her energy was inside of Ami). The process repeated itself for each baby born after that. In 1994, two more were born. I was born first in May. I remember my dad telling me that I squirmed around the night the energy was placed inside of me, yet for some reason, I didn’t have a mark on my stomach. Kitsumi was born in August that year. Being Ami’s younger sister, Kitsumi’s mark was the same shape and the same color. After that, the parents in the neighborhood started to get suspicious. What really shot them off was the birth of Mioko, the fourth baby, in 1995. She had a white, swirl shaped mark that took up most of her stomach area. The parents had had enough. They gathered all the parents up, including mine and formed an angry mob. They marched to the hospital carrying large pitch forks and flaming clubs. When they arrived at the hospital, the doctors confessed that they didn’t know what happened. So the head doctor, Dr.Yuri, showed them the security video starring the witch. Everything became clear, yet the parents weren’t satisfied. They became enraged at the witch and demanded revenge, but all hope was lost. The witch died after sealing the last quarter of her energy inside Mioko. All the families were sad, especially mine. As you might remember, I squirmed around on that dreadful night. The witch couldn’t concentrate and accidentally shoved the energy in my right arm, so a very strange hour glass shaped scar appeared on my arm. All I remember is a feeling of numbness in that arm, until my mother died a month after I was born; my father never told me how she died. A month later (while I was sleeping), I heard my dad scream, which woke me one morning. I was only two months old, but I knew what was going on…my right arm was bleeding profusely. So, my dad wrapped my arm up and took me to the hospital. Dr. Yuri spoke with my father as I lay on the hospital bed. I remember my father’s horrified expression as the doctor spoke. He confirmed that my scar would bleed for the rest of my life. That part didn’t faze me at all. I could tell something like that was imminent because of the searing pain in my arm. Then, the doctor said something that caused dad to have an emotional breakdown. “If the scar is left open for too long, it will release an unthinkable and unbearable amount of energy into Miyuki, except she will most likely die if that power is unleashed.” Dr. Yuri saw the shock on my dad’s face, and left the room, his head down. I had started crying, but not because of what was in my diaper, but because I was scared. My dad took me home, and put me in my crib.

    So, from that day forward, Ami, Kitsumi, Mioko, and I were destined to become THE ELEMENT KIDS!
