Chapter 4 - Journey

AFTER 3 days and 2 nights of traveling on coaches, trains and taxies, seeing Seth pull wad after wad of cash out of his pocket. We finally reached the border between America and Canada.

"Seth I don't have my passport" I said panicking

"Don't worry I have it covered" he said digging into his rucksack he pulled out a passport, opening it to the photo page he showed it to me. I gasped it was my school photo.

"How did you get that photo and the information and how did you know I would come with you?"

"One- shifting sand academy needs to invest in a good pupil security system. Two- go to your house, sneak in and steel your passport. You really need to take care of personal documents better. Three- you're an elemental you would trust other elemental's with your life even if you don't know them.

I opened and closed my mouth. "So I am traveling with a fish now, great" he joked.

"Shut up Seaweed" He didn't have a response. We got into the line waiting to cross the border. After what seemed like hours we were at the front of the queue and it was time to hand over our passports to be checked by the big mean looking police man. Seth went first he handed his passport over and the police man opened it up and compared the picture to Seth, then after a minute of clicking of his computer keyboard handed Seth his passport back. The police man then turned to me and I handed my passport over to him and he done the exact same thing with my passport as he did with Seth's he handed it back and we passed through.

"Breath Sky" Seth told me. I scowled at him for using the nickname only my parents used to use. I hadn't realised that I had held my breath all the way through passport control. I let go of my breath in a big sigh and then continued to breathe in and out.

"Where are we going now seaweed?" I asked.

"That's for me to know and for you to....."

"Find out" I finished for him. I really starting to get annoyed at Seth he wasn't telling me anything how far away we were from this elemental valley place or how long we have left of this stupid journey. He led me out of the border control building and walked to the taxi bay. He knocked on the window of the only taxi parked there. The window rolled down and a fat bald man with sunken eyes and a cigarette hanging out of his mouth was sitting in the driver's seat.

"What?" he rasped angrily blowing smoke in Seth's face; his disgusting yellow teeth were making me lose my appetite

"Can you take us to the train station please?" Seth asked politely. I don't know how he managed to keep his temper with his jerk I would be screaming in his face right now.

"Sure, Get in" the driver said.

"Thank you" Seth responded

Crossing over to the back door, Seth opened it for me,

"After you Sky" I received a wave of pain when he used that nickname but I didn't mind I was going to have to get used to it. I climbed into the smoke filled car dragging my bags behind me. Seth clambered in after me, we sat in a comfortable silence till the car slowed and the driver asked for $20.

"Here" Seth said pressing a uncounted wad of notes into his waiting hand.the man's jaw dropped to the floor.

"Keep the change" the man's jaw dropped further if that was even possible.

We walked into the train station, Seth already heading for the ticket booths.

"2 tickets for Hopeville please"

The lady slid the tickets over the counter to Seth. Seth handed her a $50 dollar bill. She handed Seth a $10 dollar bill.

"Have a nice day" she said in a sickly sweet tone with a fake smile like those Disneyland staff.

We walked straight to the train and got on. Seth doesn't like to linger in shops.The train jerkily pulled away from the platform. Seth didn't talk he was too immersed in his thoughts. I turned away from his face after thinking about what he might be thinking about, to look out of the window at the long blades of grass bending away from the train as it blew by. At the shining blue stream running over a rainbow of pebbles, the fish racing the train. At the distant trees, a blur of green and brown. At the vast cloudless sky.......................

I didn't know when I fell asleep.
