Last Elementals: Nathan's Diary

Chapter 9: Joanna Knows

  Nathan sighed as he ran a hand through his platinum blond hair. He had just finished telling Mara and Xander about what he saw and the three were now trying to figure out what they needed to do next.

  "I guess the only thing we really can do is train your respective powers as much as we can." Mara said after a few minutes of them all thinking. "Or, we can try to do some more research." Nathan's eyes went wide. He knew that voice anywhere.

  That was Joanna's voice.

  Nathan blinked in surprise. "How did you-?" He was cut off by a coil to the mouth. "I can hypnotize people, remember? Not to mention you talk in your sleep." She explained.

  Nathan groaned when she released his mouth. "Well, if I was hypnotized and/or asleep, how am I supposed to know that?" He asked. Joanna giggled, instantly sending all his worries and frustrations to the back of his mind. "You can remember it, but it sounds like you don't want to." She answered. Nathan felt his face turn red with embarrassment, his arms crossed, his gaze directed at the ground to avoid further embarrassment.

  "But the point is that there's obviously something that we need to be wary about, so I would say that the best option for us right now for Nathan and Xander to practice the indevidual elements needed to defeat the threat." Joanna said. Nathan sighed, running a hand through his platinum blond hair again. "So be it."

  The boys practiced for hours every day. Eventually, they managed to get the hang of their respective elements.

  Several months later, Nathan finally picked up his diary again, and sighed. It's been a long time since I last wrote in here. I guess I can put every clue Xander and I find in here so I don't forget.

  Reluctantly, he took a pencil, and began to write.

  "It's been a while since I last wrote in here, and boy, has it been a ride. We moved back to Ohio, I started up novice classes at my old dance school, and apparently Xander and I have superpowers. I remet Joanna too. She definitely got pretty, there's no denying that.

  Right now, I have a dance competition early tomorrow morning. Xander does too, and I'm assuming so do Joanna and another girl I met, who Xander seems to like, though there's a boy in this class that he seems to like as well, named Mara.

  Anyways, there's something strange happening, so most of the other enteries now will probably be filled with clues for that. It's good to get my feelings out, but since I have to get up early tomorrow, I'd better sign off and get to bed.

  Goodnight for now I guess."

  Nathan sighed as he closed the book and walked over to the bed, which Xander was already sleeping in. He decided to lay there for a minute, running over everything in his head. Is this really happening? If so, I wonder what'll happen to the Feis tomorrow.
