The Elements

Chapter Sixteen

Flora was up against a dark version of Asher, which he didn't seem to care how much he hurt her.
"Ok, I'm gonna say this once more, LET ME GO!" Flora screamed at the top of her lungs, and started to punch the not Asher.
But all the punches seemed to go through him.
Flora was already bleeding in serval places, and her eyes held a seething gaze on the not Asher. Soon, she started to grow plants out of the ground, and a purple mist flew out of them.
"What the hell?" She asked herself and glared at the not Asher.
"What a pity you don't know what you are."
Flora didn't recognize the voice, and she turned around on instinct. She then realized that the not Asher was gone.
"I mean, we could use someone like you. You have courage, you won't back down from a fight, you're not gullible-"
"Who the hell are you?!" Flora asked in a furious voice, knowing her last nerve was on the brink of breaking.
"I won't say. But I'm someone important."
"Tell me," Flora said bitterly." I'm not in the mood for games."
"Dear, you'd be frightened if you knew who I really was."
Flora knew the voice wasn't going to reveal anything, so she started looking for a way out. A way out of the very real hell she was in.
But there wasn't any way at all.
"If you won't tell me anything how do I get my friends and I out of here?"Flora asked, a tone to her voice.
"There isn't a way out until you all realize something."
"What would that be?" Flora asked, not knowing what the voice was going to say.
"That you wouldn't hurt each other." A new voice said.
"Stop telling lies. I wouldn't hurt them, and I don't know if they would or wouldn't. But I know that this is all a dream, and this is all crap. Tell me the truth." Flora dared to say, and she meant what she'd said.
Soon she started to choke as a mist just like the dark void around her creeped into the air.
It was Death Mist, and this wasn't mentioned, but Death Mist is unlike no other power and can be used to kill sometimes. But not always.
Flora breathed heavily, and tried to will herself to calm down. Her heart was beating wildly in her ears, her eyes were watery, and she feared the worst.
"Death Mist has a different effect on everyone, and it seems you haven't passed out yet." The voice came back.
Flora grunted in effort to get out of the Death Mist, that was surprisingly turning solid.
"If you want to get out of here alive Flora, you need to relax."
This voice was from Coral, who just happened to be helping her.
Flora let herself relax, feeling relieved as a weight lifted off her shoulders. Soon, she wasn't stuck in the Death Mist, and she saw her friends.
But they didn't seem to see her.
Soon Flora looked at her hands, and it seemed as if they were fading away.
That's when she thought the world was slowly coming back to her.
And it was.
