Chapter 2

(Brittany’s POV)

I was suddenly awoken as something plush hit me in the back of my head. I looked up dazed to see a grinning Lauren standing there, pillow in hand.  Janet was behind her hanging over Lauren’s shoulder, also grinning, “Better get up and get ready sleepy head! The boys are here to figure out your powers.” She said in a singsong way.

I jumped out of bed and rushed to get dressed in a light green, strap tank top with a low lying back; so it wouldn't get ripped by my wings, along pair of blank skinny jeans and my grey sneakers. Then rushed into the bathroom and brushed and tied up my long hair into a rough ponytail before walking out the door ready for the day.

I was greeted in the corridor by to very handsome guys who go by the name of Riley and Haden. I smiled at the sight of them because even though we just met yesterday they were the closest things I had to friends right now, well besides the twins.

“So what are we doing today?” I asked trying to break the silence that had started after I joined them in the hall.

“Well, we’re going to find out what your element is!” Riley said clapping his hands rapidly, all excited like a five year old.

“Oh wow, really!” a jolt of excitement suddenly jumped up my spine and a nervous tingle sat at the pit of my stomach, “So what is there to choose, I mean, receive again?” I though about it but couldn’t think straight with the excitement bubbling up inside of me.

“There’s Water, Earth, Fire, Air, Light/Darkness or Electricity but there is only like two three kids who have Electricity it’s kinda of rare. It doesn’t seem that too many kids have air either but I don’t know whether that coincidence or what,” Haden responded listing all the possibilities.

I though them through carefully imagining what it would be like to have each one and excitement jolted through me again. Too think that anyone of these elements has been bottled up inside of me for this long without even knowing. A smile crept across my face and the excitement settled and found a place right next to the small pit of nervousness.

I was in a daze and just let my feet walk along side Riley and Haden’s and didn’t even take not of where we were going. When we arrived at a cream door outside a large shed style of building.

“Here we are at the gym. You ready?” Riley turned toward me with a smile, excitement zipping through his piercing blue eye. The thought of a gym being in a place that looked so much like a mansion made me laugh on the inside. I nodded and we preceded though the door into a single and very large room. Lines littered the rubber-like red floor and bright rays of sun filtered through the windows along the top of the cream walls just under the lowered panels of the roof. A group of people caught my gaze when they turned around to greet us.

As we walked over to them Riley and Haden grouped up with them. One of them caught me eye however because of his unusually white hair, I mean pure white but I stopped staring when Haden came back over and started to talk.

“You ready?” I nodded hesitantly, “Ok then go stand over there while the rest of us set up k,” he pointed off in the middle of nowhere but I did as he requested.

As I stood out in the middle of the gym I felt so odd, exposed if you must and to make matters worse as I looked around at the older kids starting to form a circle around me I noticed one of the guys looking me up and down. When my eyes met his spectacularly coloured ones they looked at me weirdly and he gave me one of those ‘nods’. I turned away and found Riley standing next to Haden both with their hands in the air. Two balls of matter floated in the air near them: a clump of earth near Riley and a sphere of water near Haden. I looked amazed at them and as I spun in a circle I saw five other balls of matter and their benders standing spread out around me. The boy whom had been perving on me had a ball of fire hovering in the airspace near him and the boy with the white hair had his hands up too but I couldn’t see anything but when I noticed the movement of his hair and clothes I assumed he was controlling air. A girl was holding her arms out wide and separated a ball of bright light over to her right/my left and a ball of pure darkness to her left/my right. I just kept turning and gawking.
