Chapter 1
Tamara Pierce.
My eyes flew open. Images of explosions and creepy white faces still flashed through my mind. I rubbed my eyes with the heel of my palms, trying to get rid of the image. I was sick of these nightmares, after 15 years of them. I threw off the covers and looked at my clock. 2.34am. I knew what I had to do. I silently crept down the hall towards my 'parents' room. Not that they were my parents. They thought they were, but I hadn't seen my real parents for 15 years. I quietly pushed open their door, and tip-toed toward them. I gently touched my adopted mother's forehead, and imagined all the images and memories of me disappear. Then on to my adopted father, doing the same to him. Then I went back to my room, and packed my stuff, glad I didn't own much. A few outfits, underclothes, toiletries. And my phone, iPod and purse. I needed those. I shut the suitcase and went downstairs. 3.00am. I went to the family camera, my adopted parents phones and video cameras. I erased all of the photos of me. I grabbed several cartons of food and three water bottles. Then I grabbed my car keys and left the life I knew, with only about $10 000, a few items of clothing, food, water and a car. I sighed, before quietly locking the front door behind me and driving away. Next stop? Who knew? What I had to do was to find the other five, and soon. Before number 4 was lost forever. I glanced at my leg and shuddered at the three marks around my ankle.
I practically flew down the highway, stopping every few hours. It was 7.00am when something finally did happen. My phone buzzed. I glanced down at the screen. Neatly printed on the screen was one word. Maren.
A/N: Ok, so I haven't read The Power of Six yet, but I know all the characters in it. If I get things wrong from six's POV in the next chapter, please just politely correct me or just go with it. AND, for those who don't know it, Six's real name is Maren. Just sayin'.
Disclaimer: LOL forgot to put this on the prologue. Ok, sooo absolutely none of this is mine except the parts from T. Pierce's POV. Some places and things are mine too. Peace out. (Y)
