Writing Prompt - ability

Den wasn't your ordinary high schooler. He had a special ability to see when and how people would die. This was helpful because he could help save the lives of the people around him. However, there was a catch to this ability. Some deaths aren't preventable. This was quite rare, as Den has never come across someone with an unpreventable death. But little did poor Den know, today would be the day he would meet the person who he wouldn't be able to save.

Den walked down the wooden stairs, meeting his younger sister at the dining table. Today is her first day of kindergarten, so she is very nervous. But Den assured her she would be fine. However, he noticed something wrong. Her body was glowing red, causing him to gulp. This meant that she would die today. Den took a deep breath. He won't let that happen to her; he promised himself that he would always keep his younger sister safe. Glancing at her glowing body once more, he learned that she would get hit by a car. Okay, that's easy to prevent. Just watch over her carefully as she crosses the street. "Ready to go, kids?" Their dad asks, and the siblings nod, getting their jackets.

Den and his sister walked down the sidewalk in the cold breeze until they had to cross. They made sure there were no cars nearby and walked across. But right in the middle, they hear the loud screeching of tires and a scream that would change Den's life.
