Chapter Ten: Flooded

Bordeaux, Frace

"Something's happened," Lyria says as she steps toward the Grâce's front door.

"What do you mean? Did you feel something?" Dartanian asks and she nods.

"Yeah. It came from this area," she murmurs.

Pierce watches his daughter before taking a deep breath. "What did it feel like?"

"Loss," Lyria answers before looking at the two men, "what if something happened to Fleur while we were gone?"

Dartanian takes a deep breath. "We would know if something happened to her. The Grâce's would have contacted us," he assures her and she nods before pressing the doorbell. Dartanian gently takes her hand in his and squeezes it, a faint smile appearing on his girlfriend's face for a brief moment.

The door opens, and Lyria takes a deep breath when she sees her friend standing there. "Fleur...are you okay?" She asks and the teen inhales deeply before moving aside, allowing the three people into the home.

"It's not me," she assures them, "I'm fine. But...Amara..."

"She's gone," Lyria whispers and Fleur nods in affirmation, "what about the other?" Lyria asks as they head into the closest room, the den. Fleur sighs softly as she sits on the arm of the closest chair, brushing her messy curls from her face.

"Mikayla is in a coma," Fleur murmurs, "and no one can get ahold of Adrian. But everyone else is...alive."

Lyria takes a deep breath before shaking her head. "That's what I felt," she murmurs as she sits down, looking at her hands, "I can sense when one of us dies," she whispers before shaking her head.

"That's...that can't be possible," Fleur says, "can it?"

Pierce takes a deep breath before nodding. "It's possible," he murmurs before he looks at his daughter, "before you were born, there was a boy who...something was wrong with him. His name was Cai and...he took his own life a few months before you were born. There were whispers that he could do different things...like you."

"So...what are you saying? I'm a reincarnation of him?" Lyria asks.

"No. Not exactly. But it's possible there's a link between you and Cai," Pierce tells her as he watches his daughter.

"How old was he...when he..."

"He was sixteen. He had turned sixteen four months before he took his life," Pierce tells them, "everyone in the Elemental community was sworn to silence. To never speak of him again, but it's pertinent."

"They swear people to silence all the time. It never works," Dartanian insists as he sits beside Lyria, "are you alright?" He asks her and she sighs softly as he wraps an arm around her.

Lyria shakes her head before she leans it against his shoulder. "I'm not sure," she murmurs as she closes her eyes, "what happened?" Lyria asks as she looks towards Fleur.

The Sound Elemental shakes her head before taking a deep breath. "Logan and I were out...and Amara called him. Logan couldn't hear what she said, but I did. We found her holding Mikayla while three Elementals were attacking them. I was able to subdue them...using my voice," she murmurs, her eyes glazing over as she speaks, "then Logan and I brought them here but..." she trails off before taking a deep breath, "Amara was bleeding internally. There was nothing we could do for her...and Mikayla was badly injured, she started having seizures...so Lena put her in a medically induced coma."

Lyria inhales sharply before nodding. "So we could lose her too," she murmurs and Fleur nods, "Adrian's out there?"

"Yes. But we have no idea where," Fleur says.
