PROLOGUE


So there I was... cold, and lonely... wandering like I always do. No place to go, no where is safe ... TRUST NO ONE. That is the law by which I live by, along with a couple of others...
In this world I am alone.
It's the year 2010, I'm 16 going on 17.. and this is my last Birthday.


CHAPTER 1


I've been born with these powers, I can't explain to you how I got them. I've know about them since I was younger... much younger. The 1st time I used them was when I was 3. I guess no one gave me what I wanted, so I burned the house down. All the while remaining motionless. It's all in my mind you see. No causalities though, and luckily no one realized that I was behind it. After that incident my powers remained dormant, and didn't surface till about 3 days ago. *** "HEYYY CASSIE, wanna race me?" I'm always up to a challenge why not! "OF COURSE I WILL!" I said with a smirk "WHY NOT MAKE THIS INTERESTING Lilly?" "Oh how are we going to do that?" said Lilly a little hesitantly "WELL LOSER BUYS PIZZA!!" "YOUR ON!"
"Hahaha I knew you would agree!" I said as if I just won the lottery "First one to the school... wins!" "READY, SET...GO!" said Lilly with a competitive edge to her voice, and we took off.
There we were on a perfectly normal day, racing like we do almost everyday, I was perfectly at ease. We were neck and neck like always, and I knew one of us were going to find strength from God knows where and take off like a bul-- But before I could get that thought out I felt a strength like I've never felt before, it was like I wasn't even running. Almost as if I were just sitting, this... wasn't... normal... I'm running at my full speed... WHERE DID.... wh- what is this... and suddenly.... I took off...
People were blurring by me... I couldn't see anything or anyone... I ran into people.. or things... I-I couldn’t be... this is what FLASH might feel like. It's been a long time since I felt that way... but it brought back the memory from when I was three and I knew automatically what this was. I went straight home... and didn't even look back to see what I caused. *** Since that day I've been practicing, working on myself so that I have more control. Today I'm working on my element control.


CHAPTER 2


"FOCUS CASSIE YOU GOT TO.... FOCUS"

"WATER!" "WATER IN THE FORM OF RAIN!" The skies rolled back and the clouds let down a heavy sum of rain... pelting my face as I looked up in amazement. "DON'T LOSE FOCUS!" I reminded myself I slowed the rain down a bit to the point where "normal" humans would be able to see. "WIND" "WIND IN THE FORM OF A GAIL WIND" the trees and everything around me wheezed and cracked almost as if stretching their bones, or screaming for help. I calmed the wind down to a slight breeze, enough to feel but not knock over trees. But oh did the wind feel good, I was lost in it... every calm touch filled my being... and the gentle rain caressing my body, giving me peace. It's been a long time since I felt UN-afraid, UN-afraid of myself... this was it... This is my beginning. "EARTH" I stomped on the ground as gentle as you can stomp and a hunk of earth flew up in response. I used my mind to bring three more pieces up. This was it... the moment.. that will tell me my limit... this decides whether or not it will be safe to .. Multitask. I aimed the piece of rock at each rock... at the same time trying to keep the flow of the rain and wind constant.... FIRST ROCK... two inches above the ground.. EASY! SECOND ROCK... a little bit higher ... but still easy. THIRD ROCK... this one was moving so I have to concentrate on it more. AIM.... FIRE... DIRECT HIT... SUCCESS... The rain and wind stayed the same. Now was the time to relax. I kept the rain and the wind... and laid on the ground.. elevating it ever so slightly so that it appeared "normal." I know I have a lot more to practice. But right now... right here... I just want to take a break and forget. I closed my eyes for what seemed like a second... and fell asleep
