Conquer

I've never really considered dying before. Truthfully. But, now it seemed like the easy way out. So I wouldn't hurt anyone.

Therefore no one has to feel the pain I've felt. The fear they've caused.

All because of a gift. Which now seems like a curse.

I can still remeber when I first discovered my powers.

*

It was a crisp March morning, with a nice cool breeze. On mornings like that my mom and I would always open the back sliding glass door in our living room and sit in front of the couch watching the Hallmark movies while sipping on warm, sweet coffee. I was never much of a coffee drinker but, on days like these I made it work. It had been my thirteenth birthday. The day most prodigy's develop their powers. Oh yeah, that's what the guys at the CDC called us.

Anyway, I had feeling upset that morning because of what had happened the day before. I had got into a fight with the guy I had a huge crush on and he said I was 'to pretty for him." Okay first of all, how can a girl be "to pretty"? I mean, I can understand if you think I'm to ugly for you but, "to pretty"? Talk about issues. I personally have no idea why I even liked him in the first place, he was a total jerk. Well anyway, so I went to the bathroom and looked into the mirror. I was so mad that I just stared into the mirror glaring at myself.

"Break." I said, and guess what happened? It didn't break.

I turned the faucet and put my hand under the running water. I knew something was up when after a few minutes I didn't feel the water hitting my hand. That's when I noticed something hovering in my hand.

I stared at it for a few minutes having a "What the fuck?" moment. It was a perfect, complete circle of aqua floating right above the palm of my hand.

I slowly turned my hand towards the mirror. The water sprung out of my hand in a quick snake like movement and cracked the mirror.

I lunged backward in surprise and slid down the bathroom wall opposite to the mirror which was currently about to shatter glass everywhere. The glass was still in the mirror but, cracks were in every direction from where the water hit.

My mom must've heard the crash from the impact of the water hitting the mirror and knew something was wrong. She came in no more then a minute from when it happened.

"What happened?" Fear was written across her face. She checked my hands and body for blemishes and cuts. When she found none of any kind she wasn't as concerned if I was ok but, more of what happened.

"Water." That's all I said and created another perfect circular orb of water.

She was concerned at first but, I will never forget the look on her face. She had a mixture of surprise, shock, concern, and fear.

That was one of the first moments I realized that I was different. That was when I discovered I could control water. At that time what I didn't know is that I could control all four elements. Fire, Water, Earth and Air.

When I was first brought to the CDC the scientists there had called me an Elementalist.

And an Elementalist I shall be.
