Fall With Me

Below | Chapter 18

At dinner time Aunt Khloe makes us roast potatoes crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. She serves that with Chicken, cauliflower and cheese sauce with carrots.

The meal is delicious and I thank her for making it. Although I'm worried as Elora still looks sad. I don't bother in speaking to her as I'm afraid because not what she told me this morning.

The rest of dinner my Father and Uncle Tommy discuss my Uncle Tommy's building property ty sts he's working on.

I'm first to finish dinner and I head up to my room to write in my journal. I haven't wrote in it for a while but I decide to fill it up on all the crazy details it's about to get thrown at. I only get a couple pages done before I drift off.

I wake up at 3:08am and groan. I'm thirsty so I head down to the kitchen. When I walk into the kitchen I'm startled by the sight of Elora coughing.

"Elora?" I hurry over to her.

"What's wrong?" I asks her again.

"Nothing." She coughs and puts her hand out as if telling me to back away.

"Tell me now Elora." I say firmly.

"It's my m-my powers." She stutters.

"What's wrong with them?" I say more calmly.

"There going a bit out of control." Her blue her look at me intensely.

"I have to tell you something Elora." I say quietly.

She nods at me with a frown.

"Well I'm a, I'm like y-you." I blurt out.

She gasps at what I just told her.

"No, no, no!" She shouts.

"What?" I ask confused.

"Sometimes when you touch things it's hard to control." She says.

"I know I just-" I begin.

"I'll help you." She says over me.

"I have school in the morning, it's Friday." I tell her.

"Skip it then!" Elora says.

"Okay." I give in.

"Good." She breathes.

"Just come up to my room, alright?" I ask.

"Okay, I promise to fix myself up for tomorrow." She states.

I struggle to get sleep but I thankfully find myself to get at least an hour.

I get up to start my routine. About 20 minutes later
Elora speaks to me.

"Why are you getting up?" She asks wiping the sleep from her eyes.

"So they think I'm going to school." I laugh.

"Okay well when you leave go round the back door." I tell me.

"Why?" I ask Elora.

"Cause I'm taking you somewhere safe." She smiles and lies back down.

After my shower I put on my usual clothes and make my way downstairs one I've straightened my hair.

My mother has made an effort to make me a slice of toast and turkey. My sister Alice is actually up for ones eating the toast.

"Not seen you in ages." I tease tapping her little nose.

"Not seen you either." She says confidently and we laugh.

Surprisingly the food I just ate tasted pretty nice. I wash my plate to be helpful towards the family and say goodbye even though I won't be in school.

As I'm about to leave I see Elora coming downstairs and she nods and me and I leave.

ELORAS POV:

I see Azura leaving the house. My thoughts cloud my brain as I don't think my powers will be getting better. As this is happening i plan to spend as much time with Azura and help her with this as much as I can. She needs me right now so I'll be there for her.

i move to the back door and my mother questions me.

"Your up and dressed?" She says.

"Oh yeah." I laugh lightly.

"Where you off too?" She asks filling up the dish washer.

"Just going out need some space at the moment." I tell her.

She nods at me. "Just don't go too far." She assures me and I nod back.

I go out the back door and jump at the sight of Azura standing at the edge of the door.

AZURAS POV:

"God! Azura!" Elora says putting her hands up as a shield.

"Oh sorry." I say trying to look small.

"It's alright." She tells me.

I smile lightly and tilt my head.

"Let's go." She says and I follow her.

The journey there is going up hill into grass. We need forest With tell trees and the colour of autumn brightens it up. It's beautiful.

"Wow, this is so pretty." I say to Elora.

"I know right." She replies.

We keep walking through until we meet a cliff. It must have been over an hour we were walking for.

But I'm thankful we are her when she says so.

At the cliff I walk over to see a glorious view. It's the town and it looks wonderful. I had no idea we could get up here.

"This is one of my favourite places." Elora tells me.

"No wonder it is." I tell her grinning.

"So I thought why not have a better place to practice than here?"
