Help!

"Someone help me!" Capri called out. He was running like he was insane! Like a Jaguar he sprinted through the meadows. Shreds of grass was flowing through the wind, colors of mustard, and pine flowed beneath his shoes. The sunlight glistened against his caramel color skin, and blonde to brown ombré hair.

Everyone ran towards Keaton, but I could hear his heart beating. It played in my mind like music, a lullaby almost. He was knocked into a short-term coma. I knew what had to be done next. Softly whispering a naiad spell, flowers rushed towards Keaton, crawling up his fingertips into a blanket across his arms.

I watched Treviso slap Keaton to try to get him to wake back up, but with a Boulder piece of earth hitting you, it's hard to tell the outcome.

Tre had been shaking him like a rag doll, what have I done? I can normally control my powers, but how could I when my conscience feels out of body. This would just be another thing for the nymphs to criticize me for.

I teleported next to Avi, he looked scared as hell. Peering into his brown eyes i could see the terror within him. He stood still out of breath, shaking, with bulging eyes.

"I got it. I can take him to our health center. They're just minor injuries... but he's going to be fine," I reassured him, and suddenly his body began to relax. His eyes were back in normal placement, no longer shaking, but still standing still stunned.

I laid my hand on Keaton, quickly feeling the thumping from his heart, and In just a second we were in the Naiad healing center.
Jensen was at the front desk waiting for the next patient to walk through the doors, and I doubt out of everyone he would have been expecting me.

Naiad nymphs have healing powers among various others, were able to sense the growth of other beings. Anything to do with nature has to do with being a nymph. Without us, mortals wouldn't have flowers, or leaves, sunshine, or rain. The mortals wouldn't have rainbows, rivers, bushes, and even smelly skunks that protect the Nymph's River.  My brother had been assigned medical nymph due to his high IQ.

"Anthesa, what have you done now! Mortals can't be here," Jensen screeched out. The sound of his voice crawled down my body. I could never get use to the disappointment face he gave, it only made me feel sick to my stomach, and snatched away all my confidence.

If anyone could get on my nerves it was him. My older brother. Jensen always thought he had so much control because of the large age gap. I always had to pick up his slack, just so he could take credit for all of my work. I'm pretty sure, I would have been assigned medical center if it weren't for him. I think that's why he's so jealous now, all those years of picking up his chores I was able to perfect my magic while he fell behind.

"I use to hold you up to such high standards until I realized you're just like everyone else. Start treating me like I'm somebody Jensen! I just went to talk to Tre..... and things got out of control.....He has minor external injuries, but it looks like he's suffering from a short-term concussion," I screamed  ramming past him shoulder-checking him, not even caring what Jensen had to say next I laid Keaton down on the nearest bed.

"Nai, we have something special," I called out trying to grab anyone else's attention. Luckily, Nai was a dedicated doctor and I heard his footsteps beat against the floors, gradually getting louder and louder.

Nai rushed from the back of the room and immediately began an assessment. He cleaned the blood from Keaton's face, sewing up the small gash above his eyebrow. It was definitely going to leave a small scar.

Nai grabbed some gauze out of the medical cabinet, along with some naiad butter blooms. He glazed the blossom butter across every scrape like jelly on bread. After applying bandages he looked up at me and asked," What happened Thea?"

"Put the gravity into the palm, never falling, never fearing. Across the oceans, along the river, worth it least, the gravity within me is now released," I sang out so instinctively.

This was a basic levitation spell, something I memorized when I was 17. I can picture Jensen yapping on and on, deep breath in, imagine the sky and birds. Read the spell, and all the books will go back on the shelves. Always tried to tell me how easy it was, and how easy it was for him to master it. Now I realize that he was just lazy, and I was so naive.

Nai looked aggravated, he couldn't look me straight in the eye as he gasped, " He got hit? How could you just miss a 170lb, 22-year-old, mortal? That's just insane Thea! You know the rules, and I'm really disappointed in you." Nai looked over, then snapped his fingers. I felt I tight grasp around my wrist almost cutting off my circulation.

Before I could turn around, look, or move. The unidentified person had hurled my body around, yanking me out of the medical center. I was kicking and wailing, trying to twist my hands every way they could, but nothing worked. The more I tried to get away, the more the strangers fingernails dug into my skin.

I whispered," Elements of ice
Grant me this power of cold and ice" Centering my interest to the brutal hold of this attacker's cracked-up hands.

The water around us began to frost, then I felt the grip around my wrist loosen. A few drops of blood dripped from my wrist, slightly stinging me. Their legs had been frozen in place from my spell, giving me full advantage. Immediately I turned around to see the expression of my kidnapper seeing that it had been Zealand.

"Zealand! Stay away from me! If you ever grab me like that again, I will freeze your lungs into nothingness," I screamed once I saw the face of a familiar friend.
