The Pure

Purest of Them All

I was five when it all happened.
8 years earlier

" Mama! Mama! Look I made soup. "
My cute innocent self was so happy.
I had made stone soup out of the churning river right next to the small and cramped log house we lived in.
My mom, Marcelene gazed down at me with love and joy, she always seemed to be happy even when all of America got destroyed.
You might be wondering why we are still here, and why we can't just leave.
Well all of America is bordered and heavily guarded, basically the only people that can come out are the Pure or the Specials.
The Pure is a group made up of 2 girls and 2 boys.
They are the team that can do anything.
Everyone hopes to be a Pure but it any happens to 4 people out of hundreds.
The Specials are the team that has power over basically everything, I just think their a bunch of control freaks.
I go back to the rapid river and take a bunch of pebbles.
One by one I throw them in, I went closer to the edge of the huge river and looked at my reflection.
I had really dark brown hair that faded into blonde at the tips, tanned skin from being in the sun and farming basically all day, one bright green eye and a different dark forest green one.
This eye condition was a disease but I found it as more of a blessing, I thought it looked cool.
I also had freckles along my nose and cheeks and I was also short and a major tomboy.
I threw my last pebble in and stood up.
When I was walking I slipped on a pile of twigs that I lined up earlier before.
I was falling rapidly into the dark mucky water, I threw my hands up and a bubble of protection embraced me.
It brought me back safely to shore and then disappeared into thin air.
I ran as fast as I could to my mom and tugged at her dress and hand.
"What Flair!"
She shouted.
Wow she was busy, I quickly explained everything to her and tried to make the bubble again.
Instead of a bubble of warmth and safety, a big zapp of light leaped into the air.
My mom gasped and took a step back.
Was she scared?
She couldn't be scared of me right!?
All my thoughts were jumbled by my moms shouting, returning my focus back to her a noticed that she was shouting at me.
" What are you because you definitely are not a Pure! How could you do this to me! You can never ever use your powers, you know what give them to me!
Did she honestly just ask me to give her my powers?
I might be five and all but I would never ever ever expect her to burst like that.
Maybe she was just joking, she has to be.
" Give me your powers now you little bitch!! NOW!!"
I was so afraid what would she do to me if I didn't?
My mother had never called me words, and she barely ever raised her voice.
Get out of here now
" Who are you? "
"Who are you talking to freak, GIVE ME YOUR POWERS! "
I started shaking and I just wanted to cry.
I'll answer questions later, now run.
And that's what I did.
