The plan is coming together...we just have a few more things to think about. We decided to use a bonding spell...to link all of the people in our close circle to me and Sophie.
We are the only ones with Fae abilities and it would make everyone stronger if they had the abilities we have.
"Okay give me your hands." Sophie and I hold out our hands to Alexia. She takes a needle and pricks one finger on each of our hands and it falls in a pot. There's a bunch of different things in there that will help the bonding process.
She let's go of our hands and drops a ring for each of them. Ares, Elias, Klaus, Aaron, Kristina, Nikolas and Quin. Alexia is already a witch so she doesn't need our abilities.
She finishes up the spell and takes the rings out and passes them to me. Sophie and I walk to the rest of the group and hand a ring to each person.
"So you're saying I can control fire with my hands!"Aaron squeals. Maybe giving him a ring was a bad idea...he is definitely going to be a troublemaker. "Well fire, water, air and earth, yes." Sophie says sliding a ring onto Elias' finger.
"So theoretically I could roast marshmallow with my hand, right?" He asks. "Don't make me take away your ring, Aaron." Kristen says with a clear sternness in her voice.
"Ok so we are going to go to the lake to teach you how to control water. I think that's the easiest element to master first." Sophie tells the group and we start walking out of the pack house.
"Get into pairs and climb into a rowboat." I say and start climbing into mine. Ares follows me and everyone gets into their rowboats.
"It's not that difficult...all you have to do is focus your energy into your arms and channel the element you want to use. So, hold your palms up and gather your strength. It will help focus your energy." I demonstrate by turning my palms and creating a medium sized water ball and hovering it in my hand.
"Why do the tips of your hair turn white? Sophie's doesn't." Elias asks. "I'm a hybrid, a mix of werewolf and Fae. That, plus my rank in my pack all adds to the strength in my abilities. You will be drawing from mine and Sophie's power." I explain, raising the water sphere into the air and popping it in the lake.
"Won't that be bad...it will drain you more than me." Sophie says." My rank provides enough power for everyone, and since the bond is shared with you, it won't take much. After a while I will be tired, but for the most part I should be fine." I tell her, hoping I'm actually right. I haven't done this before...I do think I'll be fine.
"Are your sure you're going to be fine?" Ares asks quietly. I nod my head and turn back to the group.
"Okay now you guys try." I tell the group and wait for Ares to try. He raises his palms and focuses his energy, I can feel the link. Small water droplets form in the air and merge into one small sphere...but then it breaks, and splashes us. We start laughing and the rest of the group tries.
"Raise your hand a little more." I hold his hand and move it up a little bit. He tries again and the sphere forms better than before.
"That's good...you're doing it." I say and he chuckles, which breaks his focus and it lands on me. He laughs loudly and the rest of the group turns to laugh at me aswell.
"Ares!" He won't stop laughing so I make a big water sphere and splash him back. He didn't see it coming and now he is soaked.
I start laughing and he scowls at me and tries to make another sphere.
The rest of the group seem to be doing well. Everyone is comfortable and concentrating on the water.
"Aaron seriously!" Kristen is soaked and is laughing so hard she is turning red. Aaron throws his head back and let's out a donkey-chainsaw laugh. That gets everyones attention and we laugh at the couple.
"Scar, look I can make multiple spheres." Ares says.
Scar...
Scar...
Scar...

" Scar come on, we are gonna miss it!" Elijah pulls my arm and leads me to the roof. "Slow down, you are going to get hurt if you keep rushing." I scold him.
"The sun is going to be gone by the time your old bones get to the roof. Now hurry up!" He runs up the stairs." Will you keep quiet, we aren't supposed to be on the roof." I tell him, before he gets us caught.
"Stop being dramatic, Scar. We have done this many times and never got caught." He says and opens the window for us to climb out of. He climbs out and holds his hand for me to take. I grab his hand and he hoists me up onto the roof.
"One day you are going to fall off of the roof...and when that happens I promise I will laugh." I tell him, he is too rough, I don't want him to get hurt and then I get blamed.
"Come on you're going too slow." He rushes out and sighs frustratedly.
"You need to learn patience..." I tell him and sit next to him. We stare out past all the trees and lands, watching the sunset. We do this every evening when the sun goes down, it's kind of a tradition.
"Watch." He says turning to the sunset. I turn my head and stare at the sun slowly going down. It is gorgeous, the sky is painted pink and orange with gold tints.
Elijah rests his head on my shoulder and we watch the rest of the sunset.
Flashback over
~~~
"Scarlett...are you okay? You zoned out for a while." Ares voice brings me back to reality and I look at his face. He stares at me with concern and I just smile at him.
"I'm fine...just thinking about something" I tell him and turn to the rest of the group who all look like they're practicing.
"What were you thinking about?" He asks and tries to make another sphere.
"When I was younger my brother used to call me Scar all the time. I used to hate it because I didn't want to be like the bad lion from that Lion King movie. He wouldn't drop it, so that's all he would call me. I haven't heard it in long time, that's all." I tell him and fix his hands so they're in the right shape to make a sphere.
He looks at me and I look up and smile at him to reassure him that it's fine.
"Oh...uhm, sorr-" I cut him off.
"It's cool...I'm fine with it." I say still smiling and focusing on his hands.
"Aaron!!" Water splashes and Kristen and Aaron's boat flips over. They are soaked and she scowls at him. Anger is rolling off of her in waves. He is just laughing and that makes everyone else laugh too.
Elias muddles the water surrounding us and our boat starts rocking. Ares stands and does the same to their boat. Klaus makes a big sphere and hurls it at Ares and it knocks him out the boat. I'm laughing so much I can't breath.
Ares turns around and swims to our boat. He starts rocking it and I'm trying my best to hold on. He reaches in and pulls me out into the water with him. He laughs at the look on my face and kisses my cheek.
The rest of the group has the audacity to laugh aswell so I shake all of theirs boats with wind and knock them out too. Aaron, Kristen, Ares and I laugh at the rest of the group and they start splashing us. We use our water abilities and have a water fight.
The day ends with a bunch of laughter and happiness coursing through our veins.
This memory is going to be one for the books.
