Urban Warriors ch.1

Chill awoke with a start.It seemed he was having the same nightmare,every night he woke to the same frightening scream of his parents.The memories of his childhood when he was neglected by everyone because of his unique ability didn't help comfort him.

"I don't have time to be waking up in the middle of the night," he thought irritated by this nightly routine. "I have tests tomorrow," he whispered to himself quietly as he lowered his head back down to his pillow.The next day he awoke to a painful slap across his face.

"Ouch! Man what you do that for!" he yelled unaware of exactly who he was yelling at. His sudden outburst earned him another slap across the face.

"Boy don't be talkin' to me like that,you may be a senor in high school but you still live under my roof,and the next time you holler at me like you crazy again I'm sending you and yo sister back to that crazy house where I found you at!" his foster mother screamed back at him as she walked out of the attic.

On her way down he heard her mutter something about getting up the gold mine. Chill knew only too well exactly what that meant because he had to do it many times before. Chill had a younger brother named Midas who was only two years younger than himself and could turn anything he touched into gold. The name Midas spoke for itself. Since Midas had such a valueable power he actually got to sleep in a real room instead of the basement where their mother kept their sister Heat(their mother preferred to call her by her birth name,Tahj). Heat would've been cramped inside of the tiny attic with Chill if she hadn't almost burned it down and since it was so much flammable stuff in the basement Julia(which is their foster mother's real name and how I will now be referring to her) thought she wouldn't dare light a fire down there or risk killing herself.

As Chill walked down the attic stairs he noticed out of the corner of Midas and Heat coming from the opposite direction. When they all sat down at the table, Heat held up her hand and lit a candle just for her amusement and like always Julia scolded her.

"Girl why you always got to light something wit yo little freaky self? Why can't you and Chill just be more like Midas? Boy I swear.....!"

Heat just rolled her eyes when Julia looked away while Chill and Midas were furious. Why did Julia always have to pick on Heat? They were already pissed at her for the last time she had got mad at Heat for making her create a fire for their fireplace two nights ago, and having earlier drunk three bottles of alchohol, got angry at Heat for not putting the fire out with a fan and slapped her and would've probably stabbed her to death with a nearby knife if Midas and Chill hadn't jumped on her. To all of there surprise Midas confronted her.

"Why won't you just leave her alone!?" he practically screamed. Chill and Heat were not surprised when Julia answered him so kindly.

"I'm sorry Midas....do you think you could make my necklace gold for my next date?" she said casually.

After that last comment Chill,Midas,and Heat all got up amazed at Julia's ignorance. Not even touching their now cold breakfast, they got dressed for school.
