Part 9

Time passed quickly. One day Alexa, Jane, Robin and Sky had just gotten to know each other and the next day they had already been sent on a mission. The four young people had quickly become friends and had gotten to know each other a lot better. Alexa remembered well how Sky had come in on the first day with a small Elf on his shoulder. "Yeah, laugh it up" Sky had said to them. After a while it became clear that they were not to lose sight of each other. Sam had explained to them why they had been chosen for the team. Later, he had also explained what they would have to do to prove to them that they were suitable for the team. Each of them had had to pass a specific test. Alexa had had to prove her by building something complicated that could be used for weapon. Sky had had to complete an entire course. Robin had had to hack a few computers and track down individuals. And Jane had had to pass some tests to prove her. She had had to shoot a few arrows into a rose and say a few things so she could lead a team. Sam had said to her that they had never found anyone who had the ability to both lead a team and win a fight. All those things had passed quickly. The new team was formed before they even knew it. As Sam had said, the four youngsters had become best friends. After a long time, they also found that each member of the team had an Elf. They had all found out in a different way, even if they hadn't wanted to. From Sam they had had some assignments that they had solved fairly quickly. When it became apparent that murders were afoot, the Four had had to step up their game. Not everything was as easy as usual. They faced impossibilities and had moments when they didn't know what to do anymore. luckily, Sam and Doctor Smith had always been there for them and had solved all the difficulties together. Sam and Violette had just become parents to the Four. After all the difficulties, it was already September and Sky, Jane, Alexa and Robin had to go back to school. Even Sam had told them to keep going to school so as not to arouse suspicion. So the school year started and Jane and Alexa walked to the now-closed school gates. "Have you heard anything more from Jessie?" asked Alexa to Jane. Jane her Elf's name was Jessie. Jessie was a Nature Elf and helped the team brew potions and other things like grooming. "No," Jane replied. "And believe me; I'm happy about that." Alexa smiled and looked at her. "Have you heard from Robin yet?" she continued. The team had had a week's vacation one week before the new school year. No one had said anything by today. "No," Jane replied. "Why?" "Just..." said Alexa with a small grin on her face. Jane wanted to say something in return, but suddenly heard a laugh behind him. She turned around and saw Sky and Robin walking towards them. "Hey," Sky said and gave a high-five to Jane and Alexa. "How's it going?" "Good," Alexa said quietly. "To translate: everything is going super well. We're glad to see you guys back," Jane said. "Who's looking forward to the school year?" "I'm not," said Robin suddenly. "Why?" asked Alexa startled. "Oh just," Robin replied quickly. "Has anyone heard from Sam yet?" "No," said Jane. "You?" "Nope," said Robin. "I hope this will be a quiet school year..." "Yeah, I o..." Sky began, but a scream from a woman interrupted him. The four looked at each other and began to walk toward the gate....
