He just shook his head at me and I stuck my tongue out at him.
Ian was very handsome. He had black brown hair that was always messy and deep gray eyes that I got lost in way too many times to count. He was as tall as my brother and even more muscular. When I was younger he had looked like some mutant who was way too big. Now I loved his size whenever he hugged me I felt safe and warm. I loved it.
Ben was smaller than my brother and Ian but he was still pretty big. He was tall with blonde hair trimmed short. He had attractive deep blue eyes; he went great with Sam's looks. I always thought they would be perfect together.
“You know you love me.” He said and took another bite of my pizza. I laughed hiding the way my heart flipped in my chest.
“If you think I love you then you’re delusional.” He responded by taking a fifth bite and I drank the rest of his soda.
“So Ray you coming over right?” he asked me and I nodded. I thought my brother might need some space because he was still pretty irritated with me this morning.
“I’m going to go home first but then I’ll just walk over.” He nodded and bumped my knee.
“Don’t worry you won’t miss out on me being shirtless.” I laughed and bumped him back.
“The reason I’m going home first is just to miss you without a shirt. I’m sorry but you’re not as hot as you think.” I smirked at his glare and the bell rang.
I stood up and turned to walk away before turning back to Ian. “Don’t worry Ian I’ll be there to cheer you on against Ben.” Then I walked away loving the sound of his laugh.
After school I got on the bus to go home. I wanted to talk to Jack about my healing because I didn’t want to argue anymore.
At my stop I got nervous I knew he had apologized in his own way this morning but I still wanted him to hear me out. I walked in and walked into the kitchen where he was sitting at the table.
“Hey Jack, can we talk?” he nodded and watched as I sat down across from him at the table.
“Well I think we should talk about my healing.” He scowled and pushed away his plate of food.
“There’s nothing to talk about Rayna you have to stop.” He was always quick to get angry.
“That’s not true I think I should still be able to heal. It’s my body that will get affected not yours!” I had a temper as well. He stood up and put his plate in the sink.
“Ray that’s exactly why I want you to stop there are consequences to what you’re doing!” I stood up and glared at him crossing my arms.
“Jack, I would hate myself if I didn’t do what I could to help people.” He turned his back to me.
“You know I can’t lose you too Ray.” He turned again and looked at me with sad eyes. “I wouldn’t be able to handle it.”
I softened my pose and walked up to him.” You’re not going to lose me Jackie, never, I love you too much.” I told him as I wrapped my arms around his waist.
He hugged me back and we stood there for a while. “I promise I’ll be more careful Jack, okay?”
I looked up at him and he smiled reluctantly down at me. “Fine sis, it’ll be okay, just promise to call me before you heal someone or something all right?”
I nodded and pulled away. “I got to go over to Sam’s for a while, k?” he nodded and went to the refrigerator again.
I went to the door and waved to him before leaving.


Ch.2: Rayna
When I got to Sam’s the guys were already playing. I whistled at them both as I walked by. Ian turned and winked at me then turned his attention back to what he was doing and made a basket.
I shook my head and walked over to where Sam was sitting on the porch, drooling over Ben’s sweaty chest. I guess I couldn’t blame her Ben was pretty good looking, but I preferred starring at Ian.
“Shouldn’t you be working on homework?” I laughed as she blushed and looked down at her open math textbook.
“That’s what I’m doing Ray obviously you weren’t paying enough attention to me otherwise you’d know that.” I laughed and sat down next to her.
“At least I can stare at Ian because I don’t have any work to do, I finished it all in class then study hall.” She glared at me and I stuck my tongue out at her which made us both laugh.
“How can you like my brother it’s just disturbing.” She wrinkled her nose in disgust. I giggled and glanced over at Ian who was shooting another hoop.
“He’s so amazing and sweet Sammy, he just makes my stomach flip.” I sighed. “But it’s not like he likes me back so don’t worry.”
She smiled. “Ray I know he’ll realize how special you are I just know it.” I could tell she felt bad.
I grinned and looked over at the guys again. As if knowing they were being watched they both turned and waved at us before continuing. “It’s ok Sam, I can settle for friendship as long as I can be close to him.”
She sighed but nodded. “Okay Ray, whatever you say.”
I looked down at my hands and frowned. “I talked to Jack about my healing.” She looked up at me looking thoughtful. “I decided I’ll only heal when it’s necessary.”
She nodded and put her hand on my shoulder. “It’s a good idea to try Ray I don’t know all the consequences about you healing, but I know that if Jack’s this concerned its most likely bad.”
I shook my head. “It’s just so hard Sammy I can’t help it sometimes.”
“Well I’m here for you and so are your brother and Ian and ben.” She put her head on my shoulder. “We’ll help you through it don’t worry.” I nodded still worried about everything.”
I looked over at Ian again and smiled watching him play made me happy, but having people who cared for me made me even happier.
“Ian doesn’t even know about the curse Sam neither does ben so really I only have you and Jack.” I sighed and watched the guys play for a minute.
“You will just have to tell them I know they’ll be supportive I just know it.” She looked hopeful and I didn’t want to ruin it.
I got up and she followed me inside the house. “I’m going to grab something to eat k?” I didn’t wait for her to nod and went to the refrigerator.
I got out a yogurt and sat down next to her. She was finished with her math and working on English.
I helped her till she was done then we discussed how I would tell ben and Ian.
“How about the next time one of them gets hurt you tell them then show them. After that you wouldn’t have to deal with lying to them and it could be the last time you heal.” I thought about it then nodded.
“I guess that’ll have to work because that way I can prove it to them.” She smiled then reached over and hugged me.
“It’ll work and like I said they love you ray were all a part of a family therefore they’ll support you.” I felt comforted but still worried.
Ben came in with Ian during the middle of the movie we were watching, Ian was limping over to us.
“What’s wrong?” then I saw it his knee was cut and bleeding badly. He sat down next to me and I put my hand on his leg preparing. Sam nudged me trying to be supportive.
“What are you doing ray?” I looked into Ian’s eyes and swallowed.
“I can heal this cut Ian.” He laughed and ben just looked confused. Sam was glaring at Ian and I felt like I was going to be sick.
“She really can Ian just watch.” Sam was so amazing I knew I would have to treat her to ice cream after all this was done.
I closed my eyes knowing if I kept them open everybody would see them change. I focused on the cut on his leg then grimaced when it went into my body.
When it was done I stood up turning away so I could make sure my eyes were back to normal. Sam smiled at me when I finally opened them. I turned around and Ian was staring at his leg. Ben was looking at it to.
“My family is cursed-“I paused. “Well, the women in my family are at least.” Then I began the story.
They listened intently fixed on every word. Sam watched holding my hand while ben asked questions.
Ian just sat staring at his leg the whole time.
I was nervous about how they would take it. But so far only Ian looked like he was upset.
His facial expression scared me, it gave away no emotion and I hoped he would look up soon. Otherwise I’d probably get sick.
He mattered to me a lot. Every time I looked at him my heart squeezed tight in my chest and I would wonder at how much in love with him I am.
It still shocks me all the time. Sam is the only one that knows despite my brother but the only reason he knows is because he read my diary till I stopped writing in one.
When I got to the part about me dying Ian swung his head around to stare at Sam, and then he stood up and walked towards me.
“Stop healing as of this second ray you cannot die do you hear me?” he grabbed my arm I gazed up at him shocked.
I jerked my arm out of his hand and stepped back. “It’s not that easy whenever I’m around someone who needs to be healed I just need to. If I don’t it kills me inside knowing I have something inside me that can make someone better.”
“Well from now on none of us.” He waved his hand indicating himself ben and same “are going to let you heal anyone.”
I narrowed my eyes at him. “Don’t you boss me around Ian, you’re not the boss of me. This is why only Sam knew and not you guys.” I was glaring at him by the time I finished.
Ian looked over at Sam glaring. “You knew about this?” Sam nodded softly. “You knew and you didn’t think to share this information with me.”
I nodded. “It’s not like you needed to know.”
“How can you say that I’ve known you since you were born and your one of my best friend’s Ray.”
I saw the hurt in his eyes and softened.
“Ian just because I didn’t tell you doesn’t mean were not friends.” I reached out to touch his arm but he jerked away.
“Maybe
