In the little town of Gillingham lived a young girl and her parents. Nothing really interesting happened to them. Her mother worked long night as a nighttime manager in their locate Tesco and her dad was a defense lawyer.

The day was like every other day for Jackie March. She got up at 6:45 to get ready for school, then leave the house at 7:15 to get to school for 8:00. The only difference was that today her school was taking her class to Dover for a history trip which Jackie was looking forward to. Before she left the house that morning she wished her mum good night who had just got home from her night shift and said goodbye to her dad who's reply was only a quick hand up.

Jackie left for school and court the bus as she did every school day. She went to the Gillingham girls grammar school. At 8:10 her class got on the coach and headed to Dover. Jackie sat on her own for the whole coach trip only having her favourite book to read Alex rider was the title. Jackie wished her life was as interesting as his was. Always on top secret spice missions and still had time for school. Jackies day dream was ruddy interrupted by her class bully Chloe Brutetel her family bribed the school so their spoilt brat could go to a grammar school. Chloe in Jackies opinion was the meaning of blonde bimbo. Chloe had long wavy blonde hair and blue eyes wore too much makeup in Jackie opinion and had designer everything from shoes and school bag to pencils and pens.

"Hey nerd what you reading?" Chloe asked, laughing with her so called friends. Jackie ignored her know if she gave Chloe any attention she would lose her temper at the stupid naive comments she would make. Chloe did not take kindly to being ignored and loudly started stating everything Jackie did. "Oh have you seen her greasy black hair or mismatched eyes and just look at that blemish on her ugly chin." Chloe looked to see if she got a reaction, but Jackie just stuck her head in her book she did not care what they thought of her. So what Jackie thought to herself I have a blue eye and a green eye it didn't affect her. Chloe got angry that Jackie did not react and continued with the teasing. "And look at that tatty old rucksack she always carries around with her so last season." Jackie was getting a little pissed off with the comments Chloe was making. True her family had not a lot of money and her parent worked extremely hard to pay the mortgage each month but she was happy. Thankful, they soon arrived at Dover.

Jackie's class looked round the white cliff of Dover and Dover castle, which took the whole day. Jackie for that time did not see Chloe until they got on the coach to head home, but this time Jackie was at the front of the coach and Chloe was at the back so she could just sit back and read her book without being disturbed. When the class finally got back to school and dismissed Jackie headed home. She noticed it had been raining in Gillingham since all the pot holes in the road were filled with water. A car drove passed Jackie as she walked past a large puddle of mucky water. Jackie recognised it was Chloe's private car, but it was too late, the driver drove straight through the puddle and covered Jackies school uniform and bag with the dirty water. Jackie could hear the laughter from the car as it drove off. Jackie was glad it was Friday which meant two days free from Chloe. And that she could relax for once, but that feeling was short lived.

As Jackie walked down her street towards her house with her headphone in listening to Londons calling by The clash which was her dad favourite song. She saw a fire truck and ambulance go passed with their sirens and lights flashing Jackie though nothing of it until she was a couple of meters from her house and saw her house was on fire. Jackie dropped her bag and ran to the house a firefighter stopped her before she got down her drive and picked Jackie up. Jackie screamed and kicked "LET ME GO MY PARENTS ARE IN THERE!" Jackie screamed as tears ran down her face. The firefighters placed her down next to one of her neighbors that tried to comfort her, but Jackie knew her parents were inside because both cars were on the drive. The flames continued to burn dissipate the firefighters best efforts. Then Jackie felt an overwhelming feeling inside her body not of anger or sadness she could not put her finger on it. Jackie then without thinking started walking up to the house. Firefighters tried to stop her but something blocked them from getting to her. When Jackie reacted her front door all the water that the firefighters were using to put out the flame flowed towards Jackie and as Jackie moved her hands the water followed in no time the fire was put out and her neighbors and firefighters were left speechless. The ambulance were able to retrieve Jackie's parents body's and one of her neighbors took her in for the night.

Jackie could not sleep her head was spinning from the events of today from her parents deaths to her ability of make water bend to her will. She was only 12.

The next morning a knock on her neighbour's door was for her a short grey haired man stood at the door and asked to speak to Jackie alone. The man explained he was from an organisation that helped people like herself with powers on how to control them and use them to help the world in ways ordinary people could not imagine. Jackie thought about his offer and since her parents were her only relatives she had. Jackie joined the organisation the man spoke of and left her neighbors house. And started her adventure.

The organisation was called P.W.T. The man who came to see Jackie was the organisation direct John Black. It took Jackie 12 years to learn to control her power and in those 12 year she stayed at the organisation headquarters on a small island in the Pacific Ocean near Fiji.
