The Elementals #1 by Kiki XoXo (debian ebook reader txt) 📖

sent him to see me? I thought she didn’t want me to see him!? Whatever I sent Tatum away, that’s all that matter. Leading my tornado, to  the nearest tree. I land jumping off, and fly again!  It’s much easier  then a tornado and a lot more fun! I still don’t understand what exactly just happened, but it’s fine now. Tatum is gone and I don’t have to worry about the wrath of his sister! That is still one f the weirdest traditions I’ve ever heard of. I mean meaning your sibling? isn’t that really bad for children? Well, I know it’s bad for humans at least.

 

Plummeting down towards the ground, I fly only five or so feet from the ground at high speed. Watching everything zoom past me. This is the weirdest thing ever! I’m never want to sleep again! Flying in and out of the forest area that surrounds the castle, I weave through the trees. I zoom past a garden, then I head back into the trees. We’ve out again, I spot a group of people I instantly slow down, and hover closer to the ground. Depending on who it is, if they see me it might be bad. Peeking out from under a bush, still hovering ( I don’t want to get dirt all over my nice clothes), I see the Rashell( AKA the Queen) talking to my parents and Elijah. MY eyes buzz over Elijah, and I get a shiver. Damn he is sexy. He looks my way, almost as if he senses me. I fly backward, and I don’t know how, away from the bush. I’m dumb. He probably did sense me! I wonder what they are talking about? Going back in, I listen closely keeping my eyes off of Elijah.

 

“Like I said before, I don’t mind. It will be good for her. She will be able to be with the other girls, and train with them now.”  Rashell smiles at my parents. I think they’re talking about me!  It’s about moving to the castle!  “Including she will be here for elijah to keep an eye on.” she adds, giving him a look. I frown, I forgot she knows about us. Elijah just plays along nodding, then he explains some theory he has about my memories. My parent’s look happy that he might be getting somewhere, although I’m not sure what gave him the idea he isn’t actually done any tests on me.

 

“Well, the paint will be dry by tonight, and the movers already have everything packed.” Molly smiles grabbing Garret’s hand. I smile they’re getting along and not fighting! That’s great! They all start walking again, and I follow for a little while to see if I can get any good gossip but most of it is just small talk between the four of them. After awhile Molly excuses herself, I guess she has a meal to cook. Garret goes with her, and that leaves Rashell and Elijah. I wonder what they might talk about…

 

“How is the she?” Rashell asks, stopping and smiling what I think is a tulip. Elijah who keeps walking, smiles.

 

“She is doing fine. Why do you ask?” He says, stopping and looking back at her. Rashell smiles at him now.  What kind of game are they playing with each other here?

 

“How long do you plan keeping this a secret and not telling Molly and Garret? I’m sure it’s only going to get harder to not tell anyone. Especially the girl herself!” She replies, catching up to him.

 

“Lyra knows. She knew something was up from the moment she met me or at least saw me again without her memories.” He informs her, and I nod. I did know! I still can’t tell what kind of conversation this is. It sounds light and airy, but I don’t know.  I’m hooked now, I can’t leave until their conversation is over! “As for her parents, I don’t know yet. She said she didn’t want anyone to know until she got settled in, which is completely understandable. My heart just melts, even though I don’t recall saying that, he really understands!

 

“I see.” she replies. “I’m guessing she was with you this morning.” She asks a rhetorical question.

 

“All night.” Elijah adds, and Rashell eyes him, with a smirk. “Nothing happened. We talked.” He gives her a look back. That’s right nothing happened, just talked. Only two kisses if she really wants to knows.

 

“Hmmm sure no blood was drawn?” she asks, and he laughs.

 

“Quit sure.” He says, leaving a tree branch as they walk under it. He is such a sweet guy!

 

“Something happened? You’re different, happy and you have a certain look to you know.” She says looking him up and down.

 

“I guess it could just be that she is back, and we were together all night.” He offers, and she nods. Then that’s it. Now they’re talking about Chaston’s rash she has. That’s the last thing I need to hear about Flying up and out of the trees, I look around. I’m out by the beach, but not that close I can still see all of them down there have a good time. I smile, I’m having just as much fun, probably more.

 

“Can we talk now?” Tatum asks, appearing in front of me again.  What the fuck?!? “Tracy is sending me! She wants her servant back.” He sighs.

 

“Why can’t she come herself? I thought you weren’t supposed to see me?” I say, hovering in front of him.

 

“Okay, okay you got me.” He holds up his hands. I rub my forehead getting stressed with him.  “She is gone on a trip. I’m bored thought I come hang with you.” He sighs, laying on his back. Now he can fly to? Maybe he always could I just didn’t know.

 

“I thought you hated me?” I asked, and he shrugged. “I don’t. Hate you I mean.” I add, he nods. “I was just so upset, and scared. I’m scared now! Tatum, Tracy is going to kill me! You can’t be here!” I plead.

 

“No, I told you she is gone for a week. She wont even know I saw you, yeah but when she comes back. You can't and you wont come and see me anymore!” I point, and he laughs.

 

“Just friends I swear!” he offers holding out his hand. I shake it, and he zaps me. Pulling my arm back, as he chuckles. I make a small tornado and send it at him. His flight falters and he falls a little.  “Let’s race!” He says, then using his own magic a her makes a starting line with arrows telling us where to go. “Only we can see the arrows so…” He smiles.

 

“You’re on!” I reply. Lining up with him at the starting line, we count down together. Then we fly off.  Keeping pace with each other, we make circles around the castle high up in the air. What the heck is with going in circles! We have all the space! Watching to arrows as they appear in front of me, and disappear I pass them. All of a sudden they dip down, and  I fall following the arrow. Tatum hot on my trail, I push harder. I come back up, five feet above ground. Then all of a sudden I’m in pitch black, and there is a loud pounding noise.  “Tatum!” I yell, of course he would do this!

 

“Lyra!” He yells, but I can’t see him. “Lyra, what happened? Where did you go?” He yells frantically.  I come to a stop trying to look around me. Nothing I can’t see anything!

 

“Tatum, let me out!” I yell, turning around frantically looking for anything. Why isn’t there light here?  “Tatum Now!” I yell again. I hear a muffled sour of his voice. I move closer, trying to understand what he is saying.

 

“It’ not me! Where are you! Fly through it you’ll come out!” I finally understand. Sighing, I fly the way I think I  was supposed keep going. Why am  I in here? Who is doing it? Tracy!? Oh god.

 

“I’m sorry, I promise I don’t like him. I promise! I swear cross my heart and hope to diahhhhh!” I I start pleading just in case it is Tracy. Then I break through, and I get distracted and stop flying. I’m falling. Water,  water is beneath me!  I’m gone kill myself when I collide with the water! I wont collide with the water then! Twirl! I twirl my body, and A tornado catches me two feet or so above the water.  “Holy shit.” I sigh, “I’m alive!” I cheer  standing up. I look out at my horizon. There is a pond lake thing. Then trees, all I see is trees.  I must be in the human world? Where though?  Turning around, I cut my tornado splashing into the water. I’m so dead! I’m still in Spridge! I’m at the beach! They of course were all staring at me!  I scream under water, looks like I have some explaining to do. Earlier I didn’t want to get my clothes dirty, and now look where I am at? I need to find Tatum! That ass hole he did this to me on purpose. I realize I’m sitting down on the sandy bottom and I look up. The water is only five or six feet deep, I bet could jump from here and fly out.  It’s to late now they seen me  use the tornado anyways. Jumping of the sand I force my hands, down. I shoot up, and I’m blasting into the sky. Making a tornado I dry myself off.

 

“Tatum!” I yell. Then he appears, “What the fuck is wrong with you!”  I yell throwing the tornado at him once I’m dry.  He flies back, and then hovers again trying to catch his balance.

 

“That wasn’t me, I don’t know who it was. It wasn’t Tracy either. She can’t do that, she doesn’t know how yet.” He says looking around. Thank god my hair is a ponytail, other wise it would be a disaster right now.  “Oh well, you aren’t hurt, nobody is hurt. We will worry about it later. Right now I think you have bigger problems.”  He points down, following his finger, I see everybody standing and looking up at the two of us.  I rub my forehead.

 

“Could I go with you?” I sigh, trying to be funny.  

 

“I don’t know…. that might be to tempting for me. With the whole entire being friends, thing.” He sighs. God he is such a clown.  “You want me to go down with ya?” He ask, I shake my head.  “Ahhh, well. I’ll talk to ya later bff!” He smiles, giving me thumbs up. I laugh as he disappears.  Making my way down by everyone else, I spot someone who wasn’t there before. Elijah. I almost turn around and go the other way, but hey I have to face them sometime. It’s not like they all aren’t already mad at me either, so… this might be quick and easy. Landing lightly on the dock, I clear my throat and apologize for disturbing them.

 

Talk about awkward, I’m not making eye contact with any of them. They’re all staring and not speaking. I scratch the back of my head, glancing at Elijah. I didn’t tell him about have the element of air. But he knows about Tatum, and Sebastien knows as well.  His face is unreadable, and I can’t read thoughts. He must be pissed, we just spent the night together and I told him that I told him everything and I didn’t, what is he doing here anyways. Wasn’t he just with the queen?  Ugh!

 

“So…” I saying, looking up towards the sky.  Still nothing, “Yup, ah… I’ll just be on my way.” I say swerving around the group, now I just have to walk passed Elijah. I don’t look at him, even though I should stop and beg him to not be mad.

 

“Lyra.” He says, after I’ve already passed him. I turn, gulping. God, I bet he
