Soul Shards

Chapter 17

Alex's POV:
I was ok with Ross and Abby being together I just didn't like the fact that it would then be easier for Azazel to get into their heads. I decided I would just go for a wander today just around Bristol. I came to a park and decided to sit down and have a rest. I just sighed and looked up at the tree above me and watched the leaves sway. It was peaceful and quite. A leaf flew down and landed on my face and I made it fly around my hand before going off into the sky again. I didn't realise but a lady was sitting in the park and saw me do that. I just sighed and waited for her to gather her stuff and briskly walk away. Instead a leaf flew into my hair. I picked it up and looked at the lady she smiled and pointed to a necklace that she was wearing. I looked at my crystal and it was glowing faintly. I looked at her again and she was gathering up her stuff. I wondered if she was with someone as there was no one there and surely she wasn't here on her own. She walked straight up to me and I started to get nervous. "Hey I'm Autumn," she held out her hand and I shook it.
"Alex."
"Beautiful day isn't it."
"Yeah it is."
"So what brings you out here."
"Just wanted to get away from all the commotion."
"Are others here?"
"9 others."
"Oh ok, I can understand that. So where is your base of operations, hey."
"You know I can't say that, I just met you."
"Yes that is right. Well at least tell me what you are."
"All of them."
"Oo that's rare."
"How about you."
"Just an elemental drawn here by something and finding out it was you."
"How long have you been here then?" I asked curious and trying to ask questions to see if Azazel wasn't possessing her. "4 months. Have you found the other one like you, I have heard there are two."
"Yes I have."
"Oh can I meet them this is really cool just to meet one of you." She kinda stopped and looked at the ground. "Sorry I'm just kinda a awkward person."
"That's alright, you do know there is an Amerite here."
"Where there is Oderrus there is Amerite, I thought I was safe until I heard of that guy dying by a sword. No one but us uses swords anymore. Was the guy on of yours."
"Yeah he is."
"Is? Still dealing with the loss."
"No he is alive and well. Well sort of just a bit traumatised."
"You brought him back to life?" I just realised if she is one of Azazel's hypnotised the I could be telling him everything. "Yeah with the help of the other."
"Oh yeah what's her name." I narrowed my eyes at Autumn, how did she know that Abby was a girl when she only just met me. "How do you know they are a she."
"Just a hunch not hypnotised by Azazel or anything." I pulled out a dagger and put it to her neck making her fall to the ground. "Nice try Azazel but I know your hypnotising her."
Autumn laughed then fell unconscious. When she came round she started screaming so I let go of her. "Jesus Christ who do you think you are!"
"All three."
"What?" I took a leaf off the ground and started twirling it around my hand.
"Just Elemental. Why did you have a freaking knife on my throat!" She was still in distress.
"Sorry an Amerite was possessing you."
"That's wonderful, names Autumn."
"Alex," we shook hands for a second time.
"I see the crystal," she pointed to mine and I realised it was still glowing and hers was as well so that wasn't a lie at least. We just starred at each other for a bit, she was beautiful. Autumn had well autumn coloured hair and brown eyes. "Um I better be getting home then," she said.
"Umm yeah me too."
"Back to the ruckus."
"Yeah I guess their family though."
"Surely not all."
"Nar only a sister the rest are like friends family."
"Ahh I get cha. Alright see you around I guess."
"Yeah, see you around." We just parted ways and left. I had hoped to see her again sometime.

Abby's POV:
I was messing around with my hypnosis and testing it out on people, making them do dumb things. Duncan was just calmly sitting there on the couch innocently. I smirked and he got up and did the chicken dance. Then I stopped and he looked really confused then just sat down like nothing happened, I was trying to not laugh. Duncan just looked really confused, but he acted like nothing happened. I saw Chris sitting on the other side of the table trying to make a card tower. I made him take out the bottom one so it all fell down after all that hard work and brought him back just in time to see it all fall down. "Abby!" He yelled at me.
"Hey that wasn't me," I said trying to not laugh.
"It was you," he made a sad face.
"Fine," I walked around and helped him build it back up again. "There you go baby Trotty." I patted his head and he smiled at me like a happy child who just got what they wanted. I sat back down I couldn't think of anything to do. I just played with a bubble of water and watched Chris build the tower. Then my water bubble disappeared and I saw that Paul had taken it off me. I took it back off him and then it turned into a bit of water ball tennis. He was sneaky and made the water ball a bit bigger and he kept doing that until it was to big to push back and forth. I grabbed it and shrunk it again then threw it at his face. We both laughed for a bit but then the boredom sunk back in. I wondered where Alex was he just kinda got up and left and hasn't come back.
