The Elementals Project

Shane

Night fell pretty quickly. I could already see Raina starting to panic, Taylor had set up the tent and taken Anya inside to distract her although it wouldn't be long until she was asleep. Taylor had agreed she would stay with Anya inside no matter what. I knew she could protect her. Jedd looked pretty serious guarding the tent, but I could understand why. We were all on edge. None of us would say it but we knew he was close. Hours passed and Taylor had joined Raina to watch the tent, me and Jedd had swapped our posts and we seemed to be keeping to morals pretty high.

"So... Raina" Taylor said, I could hear the cheeky tint to her voice "Truth or dare" Raina looked shocked for a second before laughing, me and Jedd joining her "I think I'll have to go with truth" She replied through giggles. Taylor paced for about a minute before bouncing back to her "I know! What's your favourite colour" Raina replied with blue, I knew why. The smile on her face said it all. All of us except Taylor had figured out that she liked her. Although I was sure my sister would never admit it. I started to laugh to myself and Taylor and Raina looked at me confused. I look over at Jedd and see him starting to laugh too, I knew he was thinking the same as I was.

"Blue hey" I say though laughter. "Can't imagine why" I look up to see Raina's face completely flushed and that just makes me laugh even louder, I couldn't help myself, it was so obvious!

"I don't get what's so funny but it's your turn now Shane!" Taylor comes bounding my way and I already know what's gonna happen. "Truth. Or. Dare." She says, trying to trick me into picking truth "Dare" I reply certain confidence in my voice and I see Raina breathe a sigh of relief. I look down at Taylor whos pouting and giving puppy eyes. She starts to tell me I'm no fun then quickly moves on to think about her dare. In the end we play all night and before we know it the sun is on the horizon. Blinking through the trees at us. We all look at each other beaming through the morning sun.

We made it.

I look at Raina to see Taylor fitting nicely under her arm and realize. Out of everyone here. Raina is the most at risk. Taylor still hides a big secret. Immunity. Something that could ruin her and honestly. That concerns me. I shake my head attempting to remove the thought. They're happy at the moment... Let's just let them live a little.
