Sisters Of The Sky

Chapter 1-Cloude's Clouds

If you live in Sky you are meant for one thing, and one thing only: 1) Learning how to control your God given gift, and using it to keep Earth spinning round. 

Spending most of your life keeping a whole planet moving smoothly doesn't always make for a happy Cloude. Who could be happy being used to make another world run according to plan? There wouldn't be a single reason to complain, except every ones gifts are now strictly prohibited to be used in any situation excluding working at 'Weather Control'. I'm starting to feel like a minimum wage water planter.

If you're not keeping up by now, I'll clue you in. My name is Cloude Elena Sky, daughter of King and Queen Sky. We live on Sky a castle resting on millions of clouds high above the atmosphere of Earth. I have 3 sisters named Raine, Hale, and Sonny. Unique, right?

Our names aren't just unique but they're unique in there own name. All of our names tell what our God given powers are.

For example: Raine has control over Earth's rain. Hale has control over Earth's hail. Sonny has control over Earth's sun. And me, I have a control over Earth's clouds if you didn't already guess. Raine and I have to work together most of the time, even though I'm 17 and Raine is 15 we're like two peas in a pod. Now Sonny and Hale are another story.

As you can tell, sun and hail don't get along so well. Their powers seem to shine through into the real life, because if they're in a 5 foot radius of each other hail and sun balls are sure to be thrown.

Out of the two Hale and me are closer and Sonny and Raine are closer. In the end we all love each other no matter what our God given powers want us to think. We even all agree on one thing: Our powers need some time to breath out side of the 'Weather Control' room.

Weather Control, is a simple matter. We have weather, and earth needs theirs to be controlled. Every 24 hours we go and make some magic, which is sent down to earth taking 24 hours to make it's way there. You get a week preview of how your weather will be, we actually make it happen.

Ever wonder how you have those freak storms going on down there? All that's really going on is: We were bored and our mentor left us on our own. Nothing really, so next time hails splattered through out California I would watch out.

Anyways, we all want to have some freedom shined through our life. We have all been sheltered and stuck behind the Sky Wall, the wall around our world, but I push my luck as far as it will go. I am bound to be free some how, for now I'm just working my way up.

Everyday I go a little closer to the outside, and bring a little more clouds to the castle than before. 

Today I figured the cloud field in the west court of the castle was daring enough. All through the field are Sky horses and Sky plants of all sort. In the very far corner closest to the wall is an opening. A clearing filled with nothing but white puffy clouds. Me. Myself. My creation. My power.

"This is us,"I pat some clouds no matter how impossible it is when your hand always flings through," we are one in the same," I whisper into the cloud covered area. Now is the time to create a little more clouds to add to this cloud field.

With just a wave of my hand there is a line of clouds wavering in front of me. A few swipes of my fingers later you could faintly see the letters C-l-o-u-d-e floating in the air as it began to disappear. That's the one sad thing about being in control of clouds, they only stay for a short period of time.

With the last traces of my Cloude cloud (What I call all of my creations, Cloude's Clouds) a tear slowly slides down my cheeks with my dreams of being free go by with it. As i turn around to leave my parallel universe of a life behind I see Hale running out towards me.

"Hale, what are you doing out here?" I shout across the opening.

"Same thing you are! I want to feel free and alive, but I thought I'd catch you before you went back to give Forks Washington a 100% chance of clouds," Hale said panting from her run.

"Man, Forks again? Do they ever get sun? I really need to ask Sonny to shine a little light on them." I giggle at the thought of humans hiding under umbrellas 24/7 in pretty much all of Washington.

"That would probably give them a chance to quit quivering under their umbrellas!" Hale chuckled obviously thinking the same thing I had figured.

"So, how do you plan on using hail to make something?" I ask trying to figure out what she's going to do this time.

"Give me a cloud, give me a cloud." Hale joked while waiting for me to drawl up a cloud. After a medium cloud appeared a few feet in front of us Hale did her magic. Swinging her arms every which way, Hale had hail flying all over the place.

"What the heck are you making?" I cry out watching her hopeless creation.

"Waalaa," Hale stepped back admiring her hail art in awe.

"How did you get that," I gesture at what she just made,"out of flinging your arms in all directions?" I question while gaping at her ice sculpture of a heart that stood almost as tall as me.

"Skill babes, skill." Hale said while swiping imaginary lint off of her shoulder.

"Well if I had some practice I could finally master using hail.. and well.. any kind of precipitation." I sigh sadly. I have the power of all precipitation but I can't master any of it. AND they will only let me create clouds on Earth so there is no way to learn how to use my powers, no matter how much I work on it in the cloud fields.

"I know Cloude, I wish we had more power and freedom than we did. Think about it this way though, if we had more power then we wouldn't get all this cloud field sneaking around fun, right?" Hale told me in the process of trying to brighten my mood.

"Anyways sis, what's up with the heart? Is someone crushing on another entity?" I say trying to get off of the subject of our powers for just a little bit. Plus I wouldn't pass up an opportunity to tease Hale about her ever going crush on most of the boys in other entity's. 

"Well... I really like Lightning, I mean Chase Lightning, not his dad that would just be weird." Hale looked away in embaressment.

Awwh! My little sis has a crush! I mean she always has crushes on other Sky entities, like the Light, Thunder, Wind, Snow, and The Night entity. She has never confined in me about any of them though until now. I may be close to Hale, but Raine is her gossip buddy. They share more gossip in one day than I hear in an entire year!

"He's just so cute! And Sweet! And Nice! And Cute! And Sweet!" Young love! I still haven't found a boy toy. I'm fine being a loner for now having grown up with everyone in the other main entities it is slightly awkward just thinking about it.

"Awh! So him and Storm broke up? I hadn't heard about that yet, I really need to get in the loop with you and Raine about this stuff!" I got out all in one breath.

"Do you know how Storm took it? Or did she break up with him?" I ask lastly.

"Uhmm... About that." Hale said with wide darting eyes trying to avoid my gaze.

"CHASE LIGHTNING YOU DID NOT JUST BREAK UP WITH ME!! NO ONE EVER BREAKS UP WITH ME!!!" Shouted Storm as violent winds flew threw the field and a storm started brewing around the castle.

Rain started pouring down around us. Hail and snow hitting us full force with thunder and lightning covering the sky all over. I drew up a thick cloud above our heads as Hale made a block of ice as extra support. We started running back towards the castle for more coverage.

After seconds our ice began cracking and started double layering our only protection from the dangerously large hail that seemed to be aimed for us. This defilently has to be the worst one yet.

I grumble,"Not another one of Storm's temper tantrums."
