The Hourglass

Leaving-Chp. 10

"Alright, another thing that you can do is force other people into the air. It's the same as making yourself fly, except you do it to someone else." Nix nodded and suddenly I was being slowly raised off the ground. "Good job!" I praised. AJ walked up to me, "Hey Katie, can you come over here? I've thought of a new attack." Excited I nodded my head, but then realized that I needed someone to keep training with Nix. I looked around and spotted only one person that wasn't busy, oh gosh Nix was going to kill me later, "Rexly! Can you come over here and help Nixella train?" Rexly nodded and walked towards her. Rexly was Nixella's age and a fire bender with elm tree leaf wings. He was strong with short blond hair. Nixella also had a huge crush on him. It was actually kinda ironic because AJ took Rexly under his wing. I smiled and turned around to follow AJ. When I reached him he said, "Katie we're going to have to fly pretty far into the forest so put Liza in charge while we're gone." I thought for a moment, "Liza's in no condition to watch the group," I said. "Well then put Willow in charge," he replied shortly. I sighed and turned to go find Willow, the only reason I know who she is, is because her name is Willow and she chose four weeping willow branches as her wings, like a dragonfly's. Willow is a Water bender with an ice sword as a ENW. Really classy. AJ also had a little crush in her. I spotted her working with a little girl. Willows long curly blond hair almost reached her butt and her bright green eyes were always excited. She was kinda ditzy. Her long weeping willow wings were moving softly in the light wind. "Oh hey Katie!" Willow said happily as she stood up to meet me. I smiled a forced smile, "Willow, AJ and I are going to be DEEP in the woods doing SOMETHING very IMPORTANT, can you watch the group please?" I watched as her smile become forced through my little speech, good. "Ya sure thing Katie, the brat," she whispered the last part so quietly I barley heard it. "What was that Willow?" I asked trying sound innocent, we both knew I knew what she said. "I said, ya sure thing Katie!" Her smile was so forced I thought she was trying to poop. I smirked, "Thanks Willow!" Suddenly from behind me AJ yelled, "Katie come on! This might take a while so we better get going now!" Oh wow this was working out better then I had planned. "Ok AJ, I'll be right there! Do I need to bring anything?" Oh my gosh, this was going so well. "No I got everything we will need!" I smiled. "Ok, be right there!" I then turned to Willow, "Bye Willow!" I turned and walked away like a boss. Once I reached AJ he took off in a random direction and I followed. The trip there was silent, that was ok because that meant that I got more time to silently celebrate my victory over Willow. Poor Willow, boo-hoo. I wasn't usually this mean to anyone, but Willow just kind of pushed my buttons, all the time. AJ was probably just thinking about Willow as we flew. Once we landed AJ started talking, "Ok Katie so remember when Liza and I learned that we can turn into creatures made out of our element?" I froze and nodded silently, that was also the day that AJ kicked me out of the mission. "Well so I was thinking, can you turn into a dragon? And if you can, can you make it like 300 feet tall?" My eyes widened and I nodded. AJ the made an extremely thick ice ball around him so that I wouldn't squash him. Then I did it. It took a little bit of planning what materials would go where and then I shifted. I had huge rose petal wings with a diamond body. I was beautiful. I wanted to smile, but it's hard to smile as a dragon. I then shifted back, "AJ I did it!" I screamed happily. "AJ?" I peered inside of his translucent ice ball and saw him looking at a picture of Willow. How he got it, I have no idea. But I was angry. I turned around and flew back to the camp. On the way I panned out my next move. Working out all the details in my mind, I decided that it was good enough. When I got to camp I quickly packed up all my stuff, suddenly a soft voice cut me out of my angry trance, "Wow, Katie what are you doing? Where are you going?" Liza asked. And suddenly I broke down, "Liza, I'm going to help with the fight but I'm leaving until then, can you come with? Please?" Liza looked down and sighed, "Yes I will go, there's nothing left for me here." I smiled, "Great, this is going to be fun!" She smiled and walked away to go pack her things. None of us had a lot so it was quick packing. I then decided to ask Nix if she wanted to come, and then Rexly after that. I've taken a liking to him. So I stepped out of my tent and went to find Nix, I found her training alone. "Hey Nix?" "Ya?" She asked. I suddenly felt a little guilty, "So AJ's really pissing me off, and I decided to leave," she opened to her mouth to object, "but don't worry we'll be coming back for the fight. Liza's coming and I'm going to ask Rexly after this, so what do you say?" She thought it over, "Ya, Katie, I will." I smiled happily, "Great Nix! Go pack and I'll go ask Rexly!" I then turned to go find Rexly, but before I got to far I saw Nixella blush really hard. "Ooohhh is my baby Nixy blushing?!?" I cooed evilly. Nixella blushed harder, "Shut up Katie!" She squealed. I laughed before evilly cooing, "I just don't want baby Nixly's running around yet, I'm too young to be grandma!" I didn't think was possible for Nix to bush even harder, "Ewww that's gross Katie, I'm only 13! And really Nixly? Sooooo genius Katie." I raised my hands in surrender and made an innocent face, I just made my eyes really wide and puckered my lips. Nix just raised an eyebrow and crossed arms. "Really Katie?" she asked. I just made a made a raspberry (if you don't know what that is, go ask your mom or dad, or whoever is taking care of you) and ran away. "Katie!" screamed Nixella as she ran after me. I took off running in some random direction, I then approached the area where we store all our food and have it set out so that people can take it. I accidentally knocked over an ice table as I ran. "KATIE! THE HELL?!?!" I was surprised to find that it was not Nix that yelled at, it was Willow. Ha lol in your face Willow. I just turned around and stuck my tongue at her, while older woman scolded her about swearing in front of the children. Hahahaha the precious Willow isn't so innocent anymore! "KATIE WHAT IN THE NAME OF FUCK ARE YOU DOING!" It was not Nix or Willow this time, but AJ. I shrugged, "Being a monkey what the fuck does it look like I'm doing? Oh wait, did I add too much gorilla? Ooo that's why your confused, ok I don't blame you that was WAY to much gorilla in that monkey," I clicked my tongue, "Ya I should probably work on that. Ooooo I got it this time!" And with that I shoved him and ran away while Nix and Liza were rolling around on the ground laughing. AJ sighed in frustration before running after me. As I was running I saw Rexly and ran over to him, "Hey Rexly AJ is pissing me off and so I'm going to leave but come back for the fight. Do you wanna come with? Nixella's coming!" I rushed out in one breath. Rexly looked at me weirdly, but understood exactly what I said, he's going to make an amazing son in law! Rexly shrugged, "Sure." I clapped as I jumped up as down, what I'm feeling like a kid today, a bratty kid. "Katie what the fundip was that?!?!?" Nix shrieked. "Sorry Mom, I was just sitting there talking to you when I realized just how fun it would be to be a monkey. I then decided to try being one. And here we are!" Nix gave me a look, "Mom?" I shrugged, "You just ruined my fun, like a Mom." Nix gave me a look. "Katie we are preparing for a war and your over here pretending to be a fricking monkey." It was kinda funny to watch someone three years younger than me scold me. "Well I was also waiting for you lame asses to finish packing." Mom gave me a look, "No swearing." She then turned on her heel an walked away to go pack. Rexly laughed, "Im going to go pack, see you in 10 Katie!" He the ran off to go pack. "Katie where are you going with Nixella, Rexly, and Liza?" I lost my happy go lucky side and brought out my 'you-wanna-mess-with-me-bitch?' side. "Somewhere your not," I responded in bitchy tone. AJ sighed, "Katie," he said in a firm voice. "AJ." I replied in a high obnoxious voice. "Guys what are you doing?" Willow asked as she walked over to us, glaring at me and smiling at AJ. I forgot to mention that she was not even an inch shorter than AJ, so she was like three inches taller than me. I immediately turned serious the moment I heard her. She walked over with her long legs, not that mine were short because I had some pretty long legs, her legs were three inches longer than mine, bitch. She then kissed him on the cheek, wtf? "Oh ya, Katie, Willow's my new girlfriend!" he smiled as he turned to her and kissed her, right in front if me too! The indecency was killing me and I turned around. As I was walking I started to cry. Why would he do that? Kiss her right in front of me? I rounded up Liza, Nix, Rexly, and Blue, and left.

A/N
Yes I will admit that Katie was over reacting a little to much, but plot line and all. Also, if you couldn't already tell, Katie REALLY REALLY likes him and it's like watching her true love be with someone else. But yes she is still overreacting.
