Playing with Fire-X-Men

My stepmother was a monster.I guess most kids think that when their father remarries,but I was only three when he did.She only married Father because he was good-looking and easy to minipulate, and she hated children.And she hated me the most.Often,she would slap me for no reason at all.I really hated her.
"Sapphire,"She said.I looked over at her.She had cold eyes,cold enough to stare into the depth of your soul.And her laugh;her laugh sent chills up my spine.
"What?"I asked,obviously annoyed by her presence.She walked over,her heels clicking on the hardwood floor.
"Is that anyway to speak to your mother?"She asked in a fake sweet voice.I sat back on the couch,putting my feet up on the table."I don't know,I've never met her."Her smirk faded.
"That's because she was a-"
"Honey,you guys home?"My father's voice chimed.Saved by the father.And no,it wasn't just because she was about to slap me or something,it was what I was going to do to her.You see,I have this....Gift.And this gift hurts...People get hurt.Really badly.It all started when I was around five.

Flashback
Daddy was walking me to the bus stop.We stoped and he bent down on one knee.He flashed a 1,000 watt smile."Now be good,I don't want to have to come down to the school."
"Yes Daddy,"I replied.I didn't want to be bad and make him come to my school.I was a good girl,but Faith often said I wasn't.He patted my shoulder."Good girl,"Then he stood up,just as the bus came."Bye Daddy,"I said with a smile.I was really excited about going to my first day of school.The bus driver opened the doors to the bus ad I walked in.Older kids were throwing paper airplains and balls.One hit me in the eye."Ow,"I muttered,rubbing my eyes.
"Aw,did the little baby get hurt?"Said a mocking voice.He had soft green eyes and brown hair.He had big ears and a small head."I'm not a baby."I said.
"Hey kid,sit down."The bus driver said.Well,the only seat avliable was next to him,so I took a seat next to Big Ears.
"You are a baby!Baby,baby,stick your head in gravey!"I frowned."So,so,suck your toe,all the way to Mexico!"He smiled,the put his arm around me."You're alright."I moved his hand."Don't touch me!"
He laughed.Then he poked me."Poke,poke,I'm touching you!"He said.Then the bus stopped.

It was already resses and I haven't made one friend.In fact,when I was telling them about me,they just laughed.I guess it isn't ok when your daddy works at WalMart.
So here I was,sitting on a small bench all the way on the small side of the playground.I was watching other kids playing around.
"Hey kid,"Said Big Ears.My frown came again."What do you want."
He stuck out his hand."My name's Eathen Sparks,and I'm in the first grade."I shook his hand."Sapphie Jones,kindergarden."He dropped his hand."You're in Kindergarden?The one who they say dad's works at WalMart?"I nodded.He laughed.I frowned again."What's wrong with my Daddy working there?"I asked,now standing up.He was a good foot taller than me,so I had to look up at him.
Then he poked me."Stop it!"I screamed.Eathen just laughed.Then he poked me again,but harder."And what are you going to do about it?"Well,I really didn't know what I was going to do.But that didn't stop him from hitting me.
It was a sharp 'slap'.It stung like when I got stung by a bee.My lip wobbled,then something strange happened.
It hurt,my arm was on fire.
"FIRE!!!"Somebody across the yard yelled.Eathen just stood there,looking down at the flames screaming,"I didn't touch her!I didn't touch her!"I reached out and grabbed him arm,spreading the flames.He started to yell,and he fell to the ground rolling around and around.I stepped back,tears forming in my eyes.I was still looking at him,his body burning like mad.Then a strong [air of hands grabbed my shoulders,pulling me back.I still didn't look away.
What have I done?
~End flashback~
And so here I was.A fourteen year old who carries a dark burden."Yea Dad,in here."I said.Faith just glared down at me until my father came in.He was a handsome man,a soft smile and smokey blue eyes.He had just came home from his CEO job thingy.But hey,money never mattered to me.But it mattered to Faith.She was 32,tall,blonde,bombshell type of girl.She spent most of my dad's money on herself,buys expensive jewels and dresses.She didn't even spend any on her son,Aaron.Aaron was only five and looked like her,but had my attitude on things.
Faith went over to my dad and kissed his cheeks."How was work,Darling?"My father sighed."China does't like our new ideas,all those mutants there...They're blaming us."I tensed up around the word 'mutant'.My father never heard of that day,and neither had Faith.The teacher told the reporters that Ethan had a lighter,and he tried to burn me.

"Oh those horrid mutants,always ruining everything."She muttered,sitting on the arm of the wine red chair.

"Mutants don't do anything,they're just people like us!"I screamed.Both of them looked appauled."And what do you know on the matter?"My fahter asked darkly.I frowned."I know lots on the matter,I have a friend-"

"Oh dear heavens,it's Susan isn't it?Darling,I swear I saw her walking through a wall-"

"It isn't Susan!And what does it matter if somebody can walk through a wall,or-or set things on fire with their minds?"Faith stood up,letting my father walk closer to me.He stuck his finger in my face."Now you listen,Sapphire,and you listen good.Mutants are a disgrace to this world!I don't care if they have one that can cure cancer,they are horrible creatures!"

Then I lost my cool.

I shoved his hand out of my face."Just because you feel inferior to them,doesn't make them bad!"Then I felt a wave of heat cross my face.I brought my hand to my face,feeling the warmth.

"Way to go Darling,show her who's right!"Faith said.Ok,if I haven't already lost my cool,I was just about too.

I took my hand off of my cheek,and balled it into a fist.

Then the heat came.The very light blue flames went up my hands,and up to my shoulders.My dad looked horrified.He steped back,and Faith gasped.

"Mutant!Oh Nathen,grab the dart!"To hel(l) with the dart!I ran across the living room and upstairs.

I ran into my dark room and shut and locked the door.Before my flames went out,I let a candle with the tips of my index finger."Open this door right now!"My father yelled.
