Alex P.O.V
I can't believe it, homework, in the last week of school. Oh I guess I should introduced myself, I'm Alex I don't know my last name since I was left by my parents when I was a baby. Ever since I remember being in the living hell that is called my home, the orphanage. I don't think I'll ever get over the fact that I was abandoned; everyday I think why? There has to be a reason but I guess I'll never know...! Anyway where was I, oh yes I'm 15 years old. I'm having the time of my life in middle school. Note the sarcasm.
"Alex! A-llllllll-ex! Alex!" I hear someone shout, bringing me out of my thoughts. "Peter!" I say surprised and just as loudly. I turn around and hug him. Whom is Peter you say, Peter has been my best friend since we were 11. But we're nothing more so don't get your hopes up. Well I don't think we are, we've never talked about it.... No we are just friends. Friends. Get yourself together girl,it's just Peter.
I release peter from my hug when I realise he is coughing. "Little less tight next time" he said very quickly, as usual. It's only normal of him since his power is speed. Oh, silly me I forgot to say, I'm different I can control the four elements. I can also cover my scars at will, well I wouldn't call them scars more like markings, there the real me not this mask I hide behind.
"Sorry Peter" I smiled, " oh you look so innocent " peter mocked. "Are you accusing me of something Mr my room is filled with a shop full of unpaid for things!" I say smirking in the process. "I have no idea what your on about," he said in mock innocence as we enter his house. I loved his house it was normal and it held a normal family of a single mum, two daughters and a mutant son! Well it's normal to me but then again I practically live here.
As we entered the front room Peter's littlest sister ran into our arms, "Alex there going to take you, I won't let them they can't!" She spoke quickly her voice full of fear. Peter asked confusedly "what are you on with?" Suddenly a dark shadow came over us and flooded our surroundings. A deep voice spoke " I think you already know why we're here." My eyes slowly lifted, my head gradually following, a camouflage suite of green and brown appeared in my line of vision. "Who are you?" I asked, my head held high. " I'm General Mendez and I'm hear to take you somewhere, boys let's move out!" "You can't just take her!" A distant voice shouts in defiance, sleep began to over take me and darkness consumed me as a sharp object pierced my skin, injecting a cool liquid.
Peter's P.O.V
"You can't take her" I shouted as they carried her away, out of my house, my sister hugging my side tightly. Alex looked limp, her eyes closed. I tried to get to her but she was surrounded, I know I could have used my powers but that would just leave me in the same situation as her, she wouldn't want that. All I could do was stand there and watch as they drove away into the distance.
