HISTORY

BIRTH. israel was born into a wealthy, upper class family that always wanted him to become something great. like any parent, of course. he didn't seem to be anything extraordinary, but his parents would make sure that he did become something bigger than that. so, from the time he was young, he was strictly reared to be an upstanding young boy. however, israel never seemed to listen to his parents very well. his mind was somewhere else, and this became more apparent as he became older and his parents could no longer chalk it up to him just being a baby or a tot.

FIVE. his baby brother was born when he was only five years old, and he constantly hovered over the crib and offered to change the child. even though every child is told that just because there is a new baby in the family it doesn't mean the parents will forget about the other child, issy noticed that his mother paid more attention to the new child, loved the new child, more than she ever paid any mind to him. he wasn't very jealous, or at least he tried not to be. he just paid attention to other things, a tactic he used that always took his mind off of any pain he might have.

SIX. starting elementary school, he didn't have any friends. he'd always spent his time around the house, only going out when his parents told him to. they took him along to parties to show him and his brother off, to look the part of the perfect family, and he usually disappeared to do his own thing. it was at one of this parties that he met knox, a son of parents who worked in the same law firm as his father, the boy who became his best--and only childhood--friend. the other boy seemed as much as a recluse as him, and this made issy want to see more of him. he wasn't shy, he just liked to have time to himself.

FOURTEEN. he never knew that he could be anything extraordinary. he was just plain old issy, always with his head in the clouds, always off in his own little world. but the year he knocked over the bust that was in one of the rooms of his house and managed to buffer the fall with a burst of wind, he figured that there was something not quite right about him. his parents were truly surprised, the gene had skipped over two generations, as his family belonged to the water trait. instead of private schools, he went to the academy now to learn to master his powers. and he remained the same boy he always was, always dreaming about something.

SIXTEEN. issy turned out to be much more outgoing that anyone gave him credit for. he joined clubs, participated in many activities, and everyone would say he really came out of his shell. but he never had a shell in the first place. he simply day-dreamed too much to make too many friends, and he was never very good at keeping them. thus, high school went by easy for him. he didn't get into much trouble, much drama, he was just israel valentine, son of two successful parents.

EIGHTEEN. he was suppposed to go into the twelfth grade, and he was proud of that. but it only took one day to ruin his life. it only took a car accident, his younger brother's death, and his mother's mental collapse to have him fall apart. any focus on school was lost, and he ended up having to be held back. issy's father is harder as ever on him, expecting great things, expecting more than the boy wants to be. and as much as he tries to be noticed by his mother, she seems to see right through him. his support has been his girlfriend, raine, who he really likes but he doesn't think he loves her. and now he's back in the eleventh grade, repeating everything he already learned, and dealing with stress at home that resulted from the loss of his baby brother.
