Mistake After Mistake

Sophie and Shawn Grace both had powers that neither of them particularly liked using. They both possessed elemental powers and were hesitant to have biological children. However, they did then go on to have a child. A girl, Allura. When Allura showed no signs of powers, they went on to have another girl, Aiya. 

Now, both Sophie and Shawn knew about the curse that came with having any more than two children so they refrained from making that a possibility. They also made the mistake of believing it would be safer if their children were raised without the knowledge of powers. Besides, they may not have even been carriers. 

And so they lived their lives, and went their separate ways. But today we are following Allura's path. 

Allura went on to meet a man who did in fact know all about magic powers and the fact that they were very much real. Oliver Dubois. 

Allura's story is a complicated one but she is not why we are here, so we shall swiftly move on to her children. She had two children with Oliver. The first, Charlotte, quickly established her ability with fire. Having been excited to see her dad pick her up from primary school one day, she'd over-reacted and accidentally burnt him. Not severely, but enough to freak herself out and land herself in counselling sessions for a good ten years. 

But it had also scared Allura and caused her to run away, leaving her baby boy Lucas home alone. 

Another mistake for this accident-prone family, for Lucas was kidnapped that day and taken to live with another man in a basement with a new name - Joshua - and a cat - Polka. 

Having been kidnapped from such a long age and having never really seen the outdoors - other than the daily, short, planned-out walks with Polka - Joshua didn't know anything about the magic he was a carrier for. In fact, he didn't know much at all.

And later in life, he met a girl in a similar mental situation. A dangerous one, there was no doubt. 

Together, they had one daughter. 

Unfortunately for the girl, Baby, it was her third child. The curse seemed to be held at bay for a while, but we'll see later that it had only been waiting.

Their daughter was called Charlie. And she is the star of this story. Though I am sure she would give away the role in a heartbeat.

Charlie was fairly unlucky through life, dealing with depression and anxiety, all wrapped up in the head of a child. She had fallen in and out of bad situations as though they were simply tasters at a buffet, doing more than she had the stomach for. 

She grew up in a life where being kidnapped was a perfectly reasonable fear and more likely than not. Her friends were all in the same boat, their parents kidnapped from them one year and their rescue mission a half failure. But Charlie wasn't like the other children.

She let herself completely give up.

When the year turned 2045, things had gone downhill very quickly. Charlie was only nineteen and was pregnant. Another mistake. 

Nearly twenty years old, in the October of 2045, she gave birth to triplets. She only had chance to name them before the curse came back to haunt her family. It had almost been like the curse had tried to forgive Baby, for her mistake. But the birth of Ron, Don and Lottie had been the last straw. 

Not a month later, both Joshua and Baby were murdered in their cells.

Soon after that, Charlie killed herself, though most say it was the demons in her head that lifted the water to her lips to wash the pills down...

Ron, Don and Lottie were left to Veronica and Brandon.

It's too early now to say what happened to them. But their powers became obvious from a very early age. Triplets of power. Such sweet children, such an awful curse.

Ron had the power of aerokinesis. The ability to manipulate the air, wind, and gas.

Don had the power of aeroportation. The ability to teleport using air/wind currents.

Lottie had the power of air mimicry. The ability to transform into a cloud of gas, fog, or mist.

Perhaps they are suitable powers, for the children of a girl trapped in a storm.
