A/N: Hi, everybody! Thanks to Eclaire Stones and the-voice-inside-of-me for reviewing!

Don't own LL, or pages 322 and 323 of Po6 would've gone differently!

Prompt #1: Alone

Six has always been alone. But now, she doesn't have to be.

Words: 366

Katarina had died when Six was thirteen, but even before then, Six had known she was alone. After all, you couldn't exactly make friends when you moved every few months and had to stay inconspicuous under threat of death. Sure, the others were there, out there, somewhere. But she didn't know where, and they had to stay separated for their own safety.

Katarina was like a mother to her, and a best friend. A confidant. With her, Six didn't feel as alone. Still, she couldn't help but be jealous of the humans around her. They had companionship, safety, a home, all the things Six knew she never could have until the Mogadorians were all dead. She would glare out the window as she and Katarina drove from place to place, hating the fact that they had to run, hating the humans for being so oblivious, and most of all hating the Mogs for putting her in this situation. If not for Katarina's humor and ability to stay calm, Six thinks she probably would've gone insane. But she had to keep moving. Their mission was too important. They had to stay alive.

But Katarina hadn't. With one swipe of a Mogadorian's blade, she had been gone forever. No more laughs, no more comforting, no more games of Shadow. No more mother. When she finally escaped the Mogs' hellhole, the enormity of her aloneness had nearly swallowed Six whole. She was just coming into her Legacies, she didn't know where she was or where she was going to go. All she had was her mission: Stay alive. Avenge Katarina. Find the others.

For three years, she wanders, searching desperately, killing Mogs at every chance, avoiding everyone else. Finally, the wind leads her to Paradise, Ohio, where she meets Number Four and his strange human companion. She doesn't want him there at first, but after those few days spent recovering in the hotel after the battle at the gym, she realizes how useful he can be. Maybe she can get used to others being around. Eventually.
