Alex - The Guardian of the Air

The Power

Tori's POV, PM:

Her eyes glowed bright green, she had smoke coming out of each hand, and sometimes it flickered green inside the smoke. Her feet didn't touch the ground and green energy was all around her. What is she? She lifted her hands to her chest, as the smoke left a fading trace of electricity after the motion. Then she turned her hand in a twitch and the creature let go of me. I fell to my knees and started crying. This was just too much.

"I think I won't need to tell who's got the power," she said with a strange voice.
When I looked at the girl with red hair she did a new motion with her other hand. The motion was forming a loop, out, up, in, and down. The smoke in her hand followed her hand perfectly. At the same time, as she did the loop motion something flew out of the beast's mouth. And then it just disappeared.

The girl's eyes stopped glowing and she fell to the ground. When she got up she looked confused.
"Where he go?" the girl asked.
"Don't you remember?" I said with tears in my eyes after everything I've been through.
"No, but sorry," the girl said.
She was few-worded but she actually saved me.
"My name is Tori, what's yours?" I asked and wiped off my tears.
"Name?" she said asking. "Don't have."
"Oh, then we'll need to make one, I guess," I said. "And we should probably go back and get some new clothes for you."
She just started walking in the direction I came from.
"Wait on me," I said with panic.
Then the girl stopped to wait on me. We walked to the bush and I went through first. So that was the Never woods, no one has ever gotten out after they walked in. What a joke.

Unknown's POV, PM:

"Master, I saw a green light from the Never woods," a woman in a black hood, bowing before me.
"Do you think it is... green sorcery?" I asked her.
"We should look deeper into it before we do anything about it, but I think so," she said and looked slightly up towards me. I nodded.

Redheaded girl's POV, PM:

We had gotten out of the forest and the concert area. Now we were on our way to the closest clothing store.
"What about Karen?" Tori asked. "Nope, most Karens are Karens, no one likes a Karen"
To be honest, I didn't understand a single word of that sentence, Karens are Karens isn't that the point? That people are themselves?
"Octavia? No, I hear how that sounds," she said and looked down. "I don't know, no names really suit you. We should at least find some clothes that could suit you in here."
She pointed at the building in front of us and then opened the door and let me in first. It was filled with different colored clothes in here. And there were white, faceless, glossy humans wearing some of the clothes, they stood completely still. I looked around a little and saw a dress that I had seen before.

Suddenly the building became a meadow and the white human lifted its skirt and spun. When I saw the place where the face should have been it actually was a face there and the white, glossy skin was now a beige skin tone. Then everything turned into the scene I had seen earlier. The evil creature was holding the same woman that spun on the meadow. Then the little boy was yelling "let go". Suddenly I was back in the store again. A tear fell down my cheek, I didn't know this woman but she meant a lot to me. But the worst part is that I can't remember why she meant so much or who she was.

I walked up to the white human with the dress.
"Hello," I said.
"Oh you silly, it's just a display doll," Tori said. "It can't talk."
What? I just saw that... doll... become someone I care about, even though I don't know who.
"No, I saw," I said.
"What do you mean?" Tori asked and looked confused.
"Remember," I said and pointed at the dress.
"Do you have a memory of someone in that dress?" she asked.
I nodded. Then I looked at the dress and I felt another tear falling down my cheek. It felt strange to cry, I haven't done it in a very long time. And I've never cried about something like this before.
"Was the memory like a flashback or someone you know right now?" she asked.
"Flashback?" I said confused.
"A flashback is when you remember something from the past, from something that has already happened," Tori explained.
"Yes, flashback," I said.
"Oh, do you know who she is?" she asked.
"No, but did," I answered.
"That's strange, but I can't help you if you don't know her," Tori said. "Should we look out some clothes for you?"

We walked to another part of the store. Tori held up some clothes against me to if they suited me. When she found something that looked good she asked if I liked it, but to be honest did all clothes look good? Most of the clothes she held up were grey T-shirts with a purple star over the whole shirt, or over the left part of the chest. Some jeans shorts and long shorts were common too. But one garment that stood out, it was a soft, grey jacket with green sleeves from the elbow and down. That was my favorite.

"This should be enough," Tori said. "Let's pay, I guess you don't have any money so I can pay."
"Pay? Money?" I said confused.
"A lot of new words today, right? Ehh, you can't just take what you want, you need to pay with money. It's like trading." she explained.

Tori's POV, PM:

We walked to the checkout and paid. Then we walked out of the store and started going back to the concert. Suddenly my redheaded friend stopped. I looked at her and her eyes glowed green again. And she looked around like something was wrong. She turned around and stared to cover her face.
