This Is My Story

Ch 4

As I sat near the ocean, the thoughts of the previous days flooded through my head. Visions of me meeting Evangeline and my powers beginning to work played like an unstoppable movie. Having my knees close to my chest, I blocked the strong breeze that hurled towards me, My white long skirt flew up, but not to high to reveal anything. I closed my eyes and imagined the water of the ocean rushing into my body. Keeping my eyes closed, I waved my hands towards me. Suddenly the ocean water crashed into me, making my eyes widen in surprise and a shriek escaping my lips. No no no! You can control water, not breathe in it! I mentally screamed. I felt my emotions race. The taste of salt water exploded into my mouth, making me reflexively spit it out.

Except that you can't spit in the ocean.

More of the water flushed into my mouth, making my arms get thrown forward to try and reach the shore.Please god help me.

It has only been a week of the accident, and I had an broken leg. With my leg broken, I could not swim.

After many attempts of trying to reach shore, I gave up.

Sighing mentally, I welcomed the salty water into my mouth and lungs.

I felt black dots take over my vision of the water.

Sapphira, feel the water in you. Take the oxygen. Make the water your oxygen. A female voice directed me.

Having a pinch of hope, I did so. Though, it was too late.

The darkness beat me.

~~~

"Come on! Open your eyes" a voice whispered as I felt a light slap on my cheek.

Slowly, I opened my eyes. An angelic looking boy appeared. His golden eyes pierced mine and chocolate brown hair fell over his forehead.

"You alright?" he inquired.

I blinked in confusion. What happened?

"..y...y..yes" I answered and it came back to me. The water, saltiness, and a strange womanly voice guiding me on how to control water.

Did I drown?

"Yes" he answered.

Huh? I looked at him in confusion

"You asked me if you drowned." he looked at me if I was stupid.

"Oh," I shook my head not aware that the thought got past my lips. "sorry about that then"

I slowly got up from the black leather couch I was on. Taking a quick look at his body, I could tell he went to the gym often.

"Is she alright Louis??" a familiar voice asked, very faint. It was a females voice. The answer was revealed as a pair of bright grey eyes met mine and her black hair stuck to her face.

"Arianna" I hissed and backed away.

"Saphira, please don’t leave. I need to explain" she pleaded. Narrowing my eyes at her I asked.

"Why should I let you explain?"

"Because it’s reasonable"

"No!" I shrieked in pure anger as I felt water flow through my body and the sapphire gem in my necklace started brightly glowing and burning my skin, though burning in a good way.

Soon, I gathered a bunch of water and hurled it towards her.

Her grey eyes widened and her hair started thrashing, controlling my water and pushing it towards me. Her hands moved in the directions that the water went so she could block it. Papers, lamps, couches, everything surrounding us either got soaked with water or thrown around wildly. It was like a mini-hurricane.

I scowled and threw more water at her while shouting. "There is no reason to have left me alone with that asshole!"

“I’m super sorry Saphira. Geez everybody makes mistakes sometimes.” Arianna threw more of my water back in my direction.

“Well that was the biggest fucking mistake of your life.” The pendant glowed brighter.

"Guys stop!" the male that saved me shouted.

Oh shit! I forgot that I have to keep everything secret.

"Guys!" he roared and suddenly the lights go out and the mini-hurricane stops with me and Arianna screaming. We both start curling into a ball on the wet floor.

"When I say stop, stop" he growls angrily.

"Baby I'm sorry." she cried and squirmed to make the pain leave.

I sighed in relief as the sharp pain in my body went away.

"I needed you guys to stop. You almost tore my hut apart" he whined.

My mouth dropped to the floor as I took in the scene. The roof was torn into two, the door was thrown somewhere in the beach, everything was out of place.

"How could you stop us?" I croaked.

He grinned. "You're new to this I suppose. You look 17, so of course...” he kept rambling on until he said.  

"I'm an angel."

Laughing with amusement, I looked at him and said “Really. Where are your wings?”

He extended his hand towards my face and started stroking my cheek. “So clueless and innocent.” He remarked in a way I couldn’t understand.

I sent a scowl in his direction. Louis just laughed.

“My wings are invisible silly. Only certain people can see my wings but only if I allow it.”

“Can Arianna see?” I wondered.

“Nope.”

“Why?”

“Cause.”

“Cause?”

“Shut up and drop it.”

“Tell me.” I pleaded.

Louis looked around the hut quickly. His fleeting brown eyes soon landed on a jar of Nutella.

“Eat this and shut up.” He held the jar out to me.

“Are you bribing me?” I smirked and scanned his face for any sign of amusement.

He swayed the Nutella in front of my face. “You know you want it.” He reached in the fridge. “I even have strawberries.”

I squealed. I love nutella with strawberries!

Childishly, I snatched the jar from his hand but he pulled away quickly

“Will you drop this and never say a word?”

“Promise” I jumped in delight.

He chuckled and handed me the jar that I was about to tear into, but rememberung my manners, I dipped my finger into the jar and sucked on the nutella. I moaned in delight as I was in nutella heaven.

If only I had strawberries...
