her
powers. She shot flames out of her hands, aiming
for that one door, setting it on fire. She said to me,
“I guess once we figure out our powers we have
total control! Try it.”
I shrugged, and held my hand out, creating
a water ball.
I
dropped the water
ball
and grabbed
Tess’s hand.
We ran out of the building! We
started dodging cars that appeared to be coming
right for us, being careful not to be hit by one like
Briana did. We heard sirens behind us. We kept
running.
“Go to the woods!” Tess cried.
We must’ve had a lot of adrenaline because
we ran fast and far away from what seemed to be
cops on motorcycles chasing us as we headed into
the woods. We split up. Tess hid in a bush and I
hid under some leaves in a small pit. We stayed
dead silent, being careful not to move an inch.
After what seemed like an eternity they
left, probably to go look somewhere else. Tess
sighed a breath of relief. “We’re safe. At least for
now anyway.”
Truth is, we were nowhere close to safe.
Here’s a list of reasons why WE’RE NOT SAFE:
1.
The cops are looking for us.
2.
Sometimes Tess has no control over her
powers, and could set the woods on fire
any minute.
3.
There is probably going to be a reward
for catching us dead or alive.
4.
We have
no
idea where we are, or
where we are heading.
5.
We have no food, and no shelter.
6.
With two friends dead, we are afraid of
what might happen to us.
7.
Neither of us know what berries to eat,
or not to eat.
8.
Neither of us are very outdoor smart.
9.
We are vulnerable and weak.
10. Neither of us have a clue about what’s
going on.
So don’t go telling us it’s safe.
Side Stories II
U.S. Mission
    A
long time ago the U.S. government
started a mission; to find mythical creatures. The
idea was to evolve the human race further than it
is now.
    They believed that there was a plausible
reason as to why mythical creatures worked the
way they did. They thought that if they could
figure that out than they could give some of those
powers to humans.
    Well,
that
little
blue
cube
inside
the
“Chameleon” jar in the white room was the cube
that held the secret that gave Penny the power to
turn invisible and visible at will.
    The government thinks that the little cube
is all they need to give humans that power.
But they are so wrong.
That’s only half the story.
You
also
require
the
right
kind
of
emotional, mental, and physical body to harness
and control
all the
potential that each certain
elemental power gives; whether it be from the air,
earth, fire, or water elements; A perfect balance
of proportions of one’s body and the chemistry of life-force to hold that power.
That
is
something
they
have
never
understood, and may never truly understand.
Personally, I think it’s pretty obvious;
somehow, someway, I have felt it all along.
I mean, it’s like saying;
    You can give human beings wings
So that they may fly so high
by cutting them off the bird that soars
in the clear blue sky.
So not true.
Chapter Six Forest Fire
    “You know, this reminds me of how we
would walk and talk around the elementary
school yard during recess,” Tess recalled.
    I nodded affirming. Except back then we
didn’t have powers. Or did we?
“I can tell you a riddle to pass the time like
we used to,” Tess expressed, trying to lighten up
the mood.
“Okay, what is it?” I enquired, accepting
the challenge.
“Okay;
    Riddle#1
So there were two best friends. They go to a
restaurant and order the exact same thing;
Duck Soup. After finishing his meal, one of
them goes to the roof, and jumps off. Why did
he do that?”
    I knew this riddle from somewhere! I knew
the answer. “He thought that since he was eating
Duck Soup, he could fly,” I answered.
“Good answer. Ok, next challenge,”
Tess countered.
    Riddle #2
A king is in his round castle. He has a personal
clown, maid and cook. One day the king is
murdered. The cook said he was busy cooking
breakfast for the king. The maid
