THE FIFTH ELEMENT 🌊🔥🌪️⛰️☯️
Chapter 35⛰️
~Cassie's POV~
When Jake and I got to my dorm, we said our goodbyes and he left quickly with his head bent.
Before I could open up the door to my room, Madeline beat me to it.
"Hey!" She said to me when she opened the door from the inside.
"Madeline. Are you going somewhere?" I asked her.
"Nope. I just heard you and Jake talking, wanted to check if I right." She replied while peeping at the corridor that was empty, looking for someone.
"Yeah. He walked me here." I said to her.
"He walked you here? Why?" She asked me.
"No reason. Do you mind if I come in now? I need to rest." I said to her and she made way for me to enter.
After closing back the door, she continued talking.
"So.... Can I ask you something?" Madeline asked.
"Sure." I said while getting my things ready for bed.
"Who exactly do you like, Jake or Damon? Because I'm getting confused." She said to me.
"You don't need to worry about who I like Madeline. And I like them both. As friends." I replied.
"As friends. You do know Damon just asked you out? And Jake doesn't really look at you just like a friend right?" She asked me with folded arms.
"Oh? Hm." I simply said.
I didn't know how to feel about Madeline after everything I heard her say about me in her mind.
"Well? Aren't you going to say anything?" She asked me.
"No Madeline I'm not. I'm sorry but I'm really tired and I need to get some sleep. Talk to you in the morning. Good night." I said to her and jumped into my bed and Instantly closed my eyes.
~🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕~
The sound of a loud thud on the door woke me up.
"Who the hell is that?" Madeline asked with a sleepy voice. It seems the sound woke her up as well.
The loud thud came again but louder and twice this time around.
"What the hell?" I managed to say.
"Ugh. I'm going to kill whoever that is for waking me up this early." Madeline said and sluggishly got up from her bed and went towards the door.
She opened the door and met a security guard standing tall at the entrance.
I instantly sat up from my bed.
"Huh? What's going on? Why are you here?" Madeline asked him.
"Cassidy Fairchild needs to come with me at once." The man said with a firm strong voice.
I was immediately alert when I heard my name.
"Why does she need to do that?" Madeline asked him.
"It is not your concern. Just go back In and ask her to come out." The man said to her.
"I can't do that. Sorry. Not until you tell me why she needs to come with you." Madeline said firmly and folded her arms.
She's brave I gotta give it to her.
"Miss this is not something I'm allowed to discuss with mere students. Just do what you're told." The man said to Madeline.
"Mere student? Do you think I'm a mere student? You must not know who I am then. My Mother is one of THE Elementals so I am no mere student Mr security guard. " Madeline said to the Man.
I got fed up with the back and forth banter so I decided to come out.
"Why are you looking for me? Or who exactly is the one looking for me?" I asked the man when I came close to stand beside Madeline.
"Cassidy Fairchild you need to come with me. It's important so please do not argue. You'll find out who sent for you once we get there." The man said to me.
"No. She's not going with you until you tell us who sent for her in the first place." Madeline said to him.
"It's okay Madeline. I'll go with him. It might be important like he said." I said to her and she furrowed her eyebrows.
"Are you sure? You don't have to go with him until we're sure of what's really going on." She said to me.
If I didn't know better, I'd say she was worried about me.
"I'll be fine. Trust me." I said to her and gave a small smile.
"Okay.Just Be careful." Madeline said to me and went back to her bed.
"Let's go then." I said to the security guard and he nodded and started moving while I followed closely behind him.
Almost everyone was still sleeping as the hallways and corridors looked deserted.
We came to a stop when we got in front of the big safe room everyone took refuge in the other day.
The security guard opened up the door and motioned for me to enter. Once I got in, he closed the door and didn't enter inside the room with me.
Seriously.
"Cassidy. You're here." Mr Ken Griffey said to me.
I was surprised to see him again.
"Mr Ken!!" I almost screamed.
"Let's try to keep it down." He said to me.
"Where have you been? You suddenly disappeared." I said to him.
"Yeah I know. And I can't stay long here. Cassie you're not safe here in the school. You need to come with me. I can teach you how to fully harness your powers to the maximum. You won't ever need to be afraid of anyone and anything ever again." Mr Ken said to me and I furrowed my eyebrows.
"Huh? You want me to go with you? To where exactly?" I asked him.
There is no way I'm leaving this school now. I thought it wasn't even safe outside.
"Don't worry Cassie. I'll explain everything to you but we really need to get going now." Mr Ken said to me.
"Yeah...no. Sorry Mr Ken but I can't just go to God knows where with you. So could you please just tell me what's really going on?" I asked him.
"I'll tell you everything you want to know and need to know if you come with me." He replied.
"I can't go anywhere with you sir. I'm sorry." I said to him and he looked defeated.
He turned his back to me as if he was thinking about something.
"I knew you would say that. Thank goodness I came prepared though." He said.
"Huh?" I replied.
He brought out something that looked like a staff. A short staff. The tip of the top was round and looked like a crystal ball attached to it. It was darkish purple in colour.
"What is that?" I asked him.
"You wouldn't believe it if I told you." He said while admiring the staff In his hand.
"Try me." I said to him.
"This staff contains a very tiny fraction of your power Cassie. Do you want to know how?" He said to me while smiling.
"What? How?" I asked him somewhat taken aback by what he had just said.
"Your blood." He said to me still smiling.
"Excuse me?" I asked him unsure what he meant by that.
"A tiny drop of your blood helped me to create this masterpiece. I did some experiments and ended up with this as the final result. You see I'm what they call a genius'." Mr Ken said to me.
"What are you talking about? And how exactly did you get my blood?" I asked him.
"Yeah about that, I took a little pinch during the time of our lessons. Didn't think you would mind. And you were concertrating hard on unlocking your powers for you to even notice the sting of a needle on your arms." He explained to me casually.
"You stole my blood? Why would you do that?" I asked him.
I didn't know what to think anymore.
"I didn't steal, I simply borrowed....without you knowing. And the reason is right in front of us." He said lifted the staff In the air proudly.
"Why did you do that? What exactly is your purpose, what do you want?" I asked him angrily.
"I don't want anything Cassie. I just want justice. And with you, we'll surely get the justice that we deserve." He said to me.
"Who's We?" I asked him.
"Ahh I see you picked that up. Don't worry, you'll meet everyone once we get to where we're going." He replied and smiled.
I chuckled slightly.
"I don't think you've been listening to me Mr Ken Griffey. I am not going anywhere with you. Also, you won't be leaving here today, I'll make sure you explain everything you're saying to me now to the Elementals as well." I said and returned the smile.
I was taken aback when he suddenly started laughing.
"What do you think you can do to me Cassie. Will you use your mind control powers on me?" He asked me after he was done laughing.
"You have no idea what I can do now." I said firmly to him.
His face turned serious all of a sudden.
"Yes. You're probably right. And I really can't wait to find out every other thing your powers can do." He said to me.
I was about to say something but he beat me to it.
"You guys can show yourselves now. I know you've been dying to meet her face to face." Mr Ken Griffey said to the air.
I got confused for a minute but it started to make sense when I saw four people suddenly appear at both sides of Mr Ken. Two at the left, and two at the right.
"What the hell?" I managed to say.
"Okay I guess an introduction is needed but that'll be for much later. We don't have much time left to be here." Mr Ken said to me.
"Who are they?" I asked Mr Ken.
The four of them looked like teenagers like myself. Two girls and two boys. They were all wearing black.
"They'll be your friend at the place we're going." He replied.
"I said I'm NOT going with you!!" I yelled at Mr Ken and he started choking.
I purposely kept thinking about him choking on something.
He was coughing uncontrollably until I felt something extremely hot drop on my skin.
"Ahhhhh" I winced in pain and looked over to one of the kids standing beside Mr Ken.
One of them had lit up his finger in flames. It was a blue flame.
He flickered his fingers again towards me and the tiny bits of blue fire scattered all over the place but I stepped back before any touched my skin again.
He must be a fire elemental but why is his own flame blue in colour Instead of the normal orange flame.
He saw I was looking at him and blew out his finger like a candle.
"Don't try any other thing stupid." The fire boy said to me.
Immediately he dropped his hand, I decided to make my move at him.
PAIN!
The fire boy suddenly held his head and went on his knees screaming out in pain which made me smirk.
But an invincible breeze pushed me with force which made me fly all the way to the wall and I hit my head.
That made me break focus.
The fire boy stopped screaming.
"I'm going to kill her." The fire boy said angrily.
"No you won't Luke. She's important and not disposable." One of the girls said to him.
"Lucky her." The girl who threw me across the room said, her eyes still on me.
She must be an Air elemental.
I was still on the floor, waiting for the next thing that would happen.
Mr Ken Griffey had finally recovered from choking.
"Okay. Enough of the plays. Cassie it's time to go." Mr Ken said to me.
I chuckled slightly again.
"I'm not going anywhere." I said and stood up from the ground, back on my feet.
"We'll see about that." Mr Ken raised the staff he was holding and pointed it at me.
I was expecting something to happen but nothing happened after a few minutes.
"Remarkable. It doesn't work on you. Well atleast not yet." Mr Ken said while studying the staff once more.
"I guess I'll leave it to you guys now." He said to his minions.
The air girl raised her hand at my direction and a force suddenly pushed me forward to them swiftly.
I was now standing right in front of them.
"This might hurt." One of the girls said and raised her hand, ice instantly covered her hands.
Ice powers.
"You have ice powers too. You must be a water elemental." I don't know why I said that out loud.
I guess I was surprised to see someone else with ice powers.
I thought it was just Damon.
"Why, do you know someone with ice powers in this school?" Mr Ken Griffey asked me.
Oh no.
"No. I don't. I'm just surprised to see ice powers. I've never seen it before." I lied.
"Ofcourse you haven't." The ice girl said and punched me on the face.
I fell to the ground and slowly blacked out.
