Nahai

Her grandparents' house was so big she would lose count when trying to find out how many bedrooms there were. The living room had a large fireplace where the whole family would gather every night to talk, laugh and hear her grandfather telling stories. All the cousins, aunts and uncles lived together in that huge house, managing to have a harmonious life. One night, Nahai was showing a video she had made about every person in the family. The video was a compilation of several videos she had recorded of different moments for the past 2 months, during family time and throughout the day.
While she was playing the video, they slowly started to get up and leave the living room. Her first feeling was that they were not interested. But the real reason was because it was getting late and dark and each one of them had to go to their rooms, which were on separate floors. Each family had designated a name for their room, but as she found out, they were segments like vampires, floaters, people who could create and leash fire with their hands, and other relevant characteristics.

The vampires called themselves Sukus. A Suku had orange skin, bright-white teeth and they needed to eat meat in order to stay alive. They were very strong and nobody could hurt them.
The floaters were known as Kocas. A Koca had very long hair which helped them float whenever they wanted, and they were prohibited to cut their hair. If a Koca were old enough and had long enough hair, he could probably fly, depending on the purity of his heart.
The fire people were called Palos. A Palo had the ability to create fire only on their hands, and then transfer it to wherever they wanted. But for that they had to drink at least one full jug of water everyday.

Finally everybody left the living room and Nahai was left alone, while the video she had created was still playing. Even though this was her family, she had no room of herself; she had nowhere to go.
Snow was falling outside. It was a cold night, so she wrapped herself around a heavy blanket near the fireplace. The living room was in the last floor and the only way to get to the ground floor or even to leave the house was to go to the last floor, where the living room was, and use the slide, which was made from ice.
To enter the building, there was a set of stairs made of ice as well, but you could only take the stairs to go up, never to go down. If you tried leaving the house by taking the stairs, you would walk in circles, never being able to leave, only to endlessly have a feeling you were going down but never reaching the bottom.

One day, Nahai's cousin, who was a Koca, tried to go down the slide, but she got her long hair stuck and  tangled around her legs and arms. Her cousin's lips were so luscious. A Palo quickly went over and  helped her untangle herself and leave.

Nahai was unable to fall asleep so she took the slide and went all the way down to the ground floor and exited to the street. She noticed so many different people and they were all having a party. But she could notice separate groups, not all of them would mingle together. The Sukus wouldn't get close to the Palos, for example.
After walking around, she saw a friend that she hadn't seen for a long time. His name was Boji. He was short, had a slim and fit body and Nahai was a tad taller than he. She quickly hugged him. They went on walking together as she wrapped her arms around him and she felt so secure, as if all of her fears had disappeared.
While they walked around, they walked past a group of young Palo girls who had their arms burned, with scars and red blisters. They were probably still learning how to control their ability. But their eyes were full of fire, as if they couldn't yet release it.

Nahai wanted to spend all night with Boji, learn all about life as he would teach her, but he said it was safer if she went back to her grandparents' house, since she had no house of her own. He took her to the stairs, gave her an eternal hug and off she went. Nahai slowly went up the stairs, taking each step while wondering if she would ever see him again, but she had hope in her heart and it mattered for that moment.
