One fine day you wake up in the morning to find that you have got some unusual powers. But these powers come with a twist, which means that they are fed by the remaining years of your life. The more you use these powers the less you are going to live. Will you then use them? If yes, when will you use them?

Hi readers, before I start I would like to introduce myself to you. My name is Ashly Irvin people call me Ash for short, I live in the United states In Florida. I love to dance and draw. I live with my mother, father, sister, and grandmother and my best friend's name is Leona Fischer. I go to only one class, dance class and I like to try new things and now that you know me a little I am going to tell you how one day changed my life.
It started with a normal day. I got up and stretched, took a bath, helped my mother in the kitchen, got dressed and ate my breakfast and by the time I was ready the school bus had arrived. I got on the school bus and sat right beside my best friend and told her a new joke.
After reaching school we went to the classroom and started the first class, math. Then after a few classes we usually get a break so we did, and the bully was not in a good mood that day. That day he decided I was his punching bag and he was a tough guy. But that day i decided that I had had enough, So that day when he came to me and try to punch me, I ducked and when he was in the shock and pain I punched him, then he tried to punch me again and this time I wasn't ready so I blocked with my hand when his hand touched mine he screamed in pain and when I looked at his hand had a bad burn. Then I looked at my hand. It was on fire.
I ran to the washroom and put my hand under the tap, then I looked at my hand again but my hand had not burned and it didn't even hurt my heart was racing. Then I got an idea to see if I had powers, because I read a lot of books and then those books the character mostly will have his power to come so I will, will my hand to be on fire and after seeing fire in my hand I got scared again.
That's when Leona came in hand behind my back, closed my hand in a fist and she told me show what's in your hand then I took my hand and when I saw it wasn't on fire I thought this was really cool and I showed her what I could do. But when she saw it a hood from behind came and covered her but there was no one behind her and slowly her skin began looking more like an old women and in a cracked voice she said” Beware we shall hold powers but remember they are feeding on how much of your is left” and then the figure into the air.
I was really scared and ran out of the washroom and asked my teacher where did Leona go. She said that there is not any student with that name over here. Then I asked everyone else in my class. But they said that there is not any student with that name, and I was really scared because my best friend just became a strange figure, told me something and vanished.
After school I ran home and without saying anything to my mother, I locked myself in the room. Then I tried to make a fire. And everytime I did it, it felt as if I were getting weaker. And I was so confused that I thought that this was all a dream, and I went off to sleep.My dream I saw the same figure with my best friend turned Into I ask the figure with my voice trembling who are you? What do you want from me ? the figure just chuckled and left me scared just like that in the darkness around us.
Suddenly woke up with a start just to understand that I woke up late and I had to go to school. Then I tried to make a fire with my hand and it didn't happen, I didn't get it but then after going to school I saw my best friend all fine. Then only did I realise everything I had seen was just a dream and by saying that that day changed my life I mean now I am really scared that I am I just open my hand and make a fire.
