Burned water [completed]

11 - Madmen on the roads

Soon after, we continued our journey. It was already late at night, Martinus was still behind the wheel.

"Why don't you drive?" I asked Jungkook, who was obviously nodding off.

"He doesn't have a driving license." Martinus said for him and bit back at all his previous comments, which of course made the black-eyed man very angry. Enraged, he leaned in for a purpose I didn't understand and made me fear for our lives. But suddenly they both tensed and looked warily at the left window. I followed their gaze. I heard a loud noise of the wind and saw the trees along the road bending menacingly. Martinus began to hold the steering wheel with both hands.

"It's them." Jungkook said and I felt chills. What are they like? It didn't matter anyway. Whoever it was certainly didn't have friendly intentions. I pushed myself deeper into my seat, a little confused. Jungkook must have sensed my fear because he placed his exceptionally warm hand on my shoulder and said gently, "Don't be afraid. How many times do I have to tell you that nothing will really happen to you with us." I glanced at him. My heart beat faster and it probably wasn't because of his magic tricks. "Bend down a little and put your hat on," he instructed me, and he hopped over to the front seat, opened the window, and leaned halfway out.

A frosty wind blew into my face, even though it wasn't winter. Martinus followed Jungkook's footsteps and also opened the window. Attacked from both sides, I had difficulty opening my eyes.

"Let's get the fun started @#$%#@#%!" Jungkook exclaimed obscenely and the darkness lit up with a great glow of light. I could see clearly as day. To my left I saw two figures flying in the air. In air! At speed, their features blurred and I couldn't see exactly what they looked like. All I know is that long, fiery red hair was fluttering behind one of them.

"Yours are on the left" Jungkook, although crazy, was probably the leader type. I saw Martinus make one movement with his hand and the flying figures were swept away and hit the trees along the road with a dull thud.

Jungkook shot flames again and again at the enemies chasing us. He had a lot of fun doing it. I watched with horror as he carelessly leaned out of that damned window. His eyes sparkled with joy and he let out screams of excitement. A complete psychopath. I looked at Martinus. He smiled too. So I was the only normal one among them, because I felt fear. Looking at their careless behavior, I was more afraid for them than for myself.

After a few minutes, several triumphant: "Hit!" The boy returned to the car and the two windows closed. There was finally a moment of silence. The wind no longer roared and scattered my voices. I straightened up in my chair.

"I think we've got everyone covered," Martinus said.

"Oh yeah. After all, it was my blows they had against them. They could deal with yours" In one sentence, Jungkook broke the agreement between them a moment ago.

"Oh God, STOP" I screamed loudly as suddenly, out of the darkness, within the range of the headlights, a silhouette of a man appeared.

Martinus braked abruptly, stopping only a short distance from the next madman of the day. We were so close that we could see each other completely clearly. A young girl, maybe our age, was standing in front of us. She was pretty, but not stunning. I think I was more beautiful than her. She had messy brown hair and a dark green button-down sweater. The wind billowed around her, playing with her hair and clothes. And her face... it was a strange face. I immediately knew she was Wind, but she had no hostility in her. Rather great sadness. I looked longer and found that she was staring at only one of us. Jungkook.

I looked at him and saw a complete transformation. Jungkook, with wide eyes and a gaping mouth, stared at the girl like a picture.

Martinus opened the window and tried to stick out his hand. Then something happened that made my blood run cold. Jungkook pointed his burning hand at him.

"Don't you dare touch her," he said dangerously. His voice was bursting with emotion. I could hear the hidden helplessness and rage in him.

Before Martinus could retreat, a piercing sound cut through the air and the girl was gone.

"Okay, okay, can I finally start to understand something?" I asked helplessly, having no idea what was happening.

Sorry for the delay! I know you had to wait a few days, but I had fun on vacation. In the next parts, we will go to Jungkook and Martinus' past. These are my favorite chapters, I hope you like them :)
