The Elementals

Chapter Three: The Campfire

(A/N HEYY GUYS THANK YOU FOR 45 READS!!! ENJOY THE CHAPTER!:):))

Autumns POV:

I walk in the house to see my mom sitting at the table working.

"How was your day at school?" She asks.
"Fine." I say.
"Did you make any friends?"
"Yea"
"Who?"
"Well Ali showed me to some of her friends like this guy named Josh who is really nice."
"That's great honey." She smiles at me then starts working again.
"Hey mom?" I ask.
"Yes." She says without looking up.
"Ali's having a campfire tonight and.....I was wondering if I could go?" I say nervously.
"What time is it at?"
"It's at six."
"Well.....Ok you can go as long as your home by nine."
"Thanks!" I say and run up the stairs to my room to start on homework.

After one hour of homework it's 4:15, about two hours till the campfire. I decide to call Ali to ask about what to wear. I type in her number and the phone starts ringing. She picks up after three rings.

"Hello?" She says.
"Hey Ali, I was calling to see what we're supposed to wear to the campfire." I say.
"Oh, just wear what you wore to school." She says.

In the backroad I can hear voices. Ali covers the phone and says something that I can't make out.

"Ok thanks." I say "Is anyone else their?"
"Oh that was just my...mom." She says hesitantly.
"Oh,ok I guess I'll see you at the campfire."
"Yup." She says.
"Bye."
"Bye!"

Who were those people talking in the background that she lied to me about?? Maybe it actually was her mom. No, it couldn't be. Or could it? After an hour of thinking and reading I see that it's 5:30. I decide to head out. Ali lives ten minutes away and I don't want to be late. I say bye to my mom, walk out the door, and get on my motorcycle. (My mom doesn't let me ride to school cause she's afraid I'll get in an accident. But I could get in an accident on my way there.....mom logic). I arrive at 5:45 and approach the house. Ali comes to the door and let's me in. She's wearing a green blouse, which matches her eyes perfectly, a pair of white shorts, and yellow flip flops.

"I'm so glad you could come!" She says smiling.
"Yeah I'm glad I could come too!" I say.
"Follow me to the backyard" She says motioning for me to follow her.
"Ok." I say and follow her to the backyard.

Once we get there I see a TON of people. There's a huge fire in the middle of the yard with some people standing around it roasting marshmallows or talking. A couple of boys are playing a small game of football while a group of girls sit in a circle talking and doing hair. Others are just scattered around the yard talking. Then I spot them. Ali's group.

"Come on!" She says running down a little hill to where her group is.

I run down after her and stop when I reach the group.

"We were just about to play a game." Lydia says. "Wanna play?"
"Sure." I reply trying to sound confident."What game are we playing?"
"Truth or Dare" Ali says.

We all sit down in a circle and Ali starts off.

"Lydia, truth or dare?"
"Truth" Lydia says.
"Is it true that you like Logan?"
She blushes and says "Yes"
"I KNEW IT!!" Ali screams.
"Yeah whatever, anyway Josh truth or dare?"
"Dare." Josh says.
"Ok, I dare you to go up to that girl over there and kiss her on the cheek."

Lydia points to a girl standing alone by the campfire. She has straight long brown hair, is wearing a white sweater, blue shorts, and white flip-flops. Her eyes are blue and seem as if they radiate water. Wait. That's the girl that ran into me yesterday. She looks at me for a couple seconds then turns away. Huh weird.

Sydney's POV:

Uhhhh. Why do I have to be the one to keep an eye on her? I stand by the fire hoping I would spot her soon. I look over and see that she's staring at me. Her dirty blond hair, was down resting on her shoulders , she was wearing a flowy yellow tank top, a pair of white shorts, and black flip-flops. Her eyes were bluish greenish but when the fire reflected on them, they looked red. I noticed that someone was walking up to me, and it was a guy. He had brown hair that flips to one side, his blue eyes sparkle in the moonlight, he's wearing a light green t-shirt, a pair of light brown shorts that reach his knees, and black slides. I notice that he is very lean, muscular, and kinda cute. Cute? Did I just think he was cute? I then remember that he's walking towards me. He walks up to me and smiles.

"Hi." He says.
"Hi." I say looking into his beautiful eyes. Wait beautiful?
"What's your name?" He asks me.
I push my hair behind my ears and say "Sydney."
"Nice to meet you Sydney, I'm Josh."

He suddenly leans toward me and kisses me on the cheek. My face burns bright red. I look up at him stunned. He waves bye then runs back to his group. I touch my hand to my cheek. Did that really just happen??

Autumn's POV:

I watch Josh go peck that girl on the cheek and then come back grinning from ear to ear.

"What's up with you Josh?" Alex asks wiggling his eyebrows.
"Nothing" He stammers.
"Oh really" Ali says.
He blushes a little then says "Autumn truth or dare?"
Oh crap.
"Dare." I say
"I dare you to roast a marshmallow until it dissolves."
"Ok"

I get up and the group follows me. As I get to the campfire I grab a marshmallow and put it on a stick. I put the marshmallow in the fire and watch it burn until it starts dissolving. I turn around to show them that I did it. No ones there. I turn back around and see them but one persons missing.... Then suddenly I hear a voice behind me.

"Sorry about this Autumn" The person says with no sympathy. "Master's orders."

I feel myself being pushed forward into the fire.
I fall in and everything goes black.
