Prologue

I always wonder if I would have turned out different, if I would have been raised by my birth parents. If my life wouldn't have been so full of pain, so full of sorrow from my greatest loss, my twin brothers death. I was given away by the age of three. The new parents of me changed my name to Silas, but they let Elijah my brother keep his. I would always want to be Skye because I would remember my mother calling me it. I would ask about it and they would say that it was from a bedtime story that I loved as child.

The night of my brothers death changed me, I found myself angry so I started to boxing and other sports to keep my head of things. I started seeing people in my dreams that were supposed to be dead. I started burning, I mean literally burning I can manipulate fire. The only one of my friends that stuck with me, and were by my side through everything, every piece of my pain, was my best friend Kayla. She lost her parents and she lived alone working hard to keep her money flowing to stay alive. I knew her pain was very hard she had no one else than her parents, no siblings no nothing. She knew what I was going through.

Elijah became my weak point, to mention him would tear me apart. Everyone of his friends suddenly disappeared, and I had no one to share his memory with. No one who knew him, no one to protect me. I changed. I started to feel numb to anyone else than Kayla.
