The Elementalist Project

Chapter 3

So, that's how we all met
We all trust each other, even with our lives. We all lived up to the rule.
I always keep on wondering why I was the only one who can control the elements. But none of my friends seemed to mind it
For a period of time, we went to school
Now, it was winter break
We were all 17 already. For three years we've been running together
We've had some pretty rough days, but today was going terrible

~~~~~•~~~~~•~~~~~•~~~~~•~~~~~

"Jack! Keep running!" I told my best friend
"I'm trying!" He shouted back
Today, we were being chased by monster wolves. They were like bigger, rabid, wolves. And also, they could shoot spikes out of their spiky tails
We were all injured. Jack was in very bad shape that he could barely walk. Much less run
But we had to keep running
"I've got him!" Ryan said, slinging Jack's arm over his shoulders to help Jack run
"Look out!" Amanda said as spikes nailed themselves on a nearby forest tree, nearly missing me
"Scarlett, stop!" Amanda shouted
I stopped, barely avoiding a fall into a cliff
"Woah." I said, trying to regain my balance ajd not falling in
"I got you!" Amanda said, pulling me back by the back collar of my leather jacket
"Thanks." I told her
"No problem."
"Um. . . guys?" Jack called
We turned to see the wolves closing in on us
"Shoot." I cursed
We all readied pur weapons. Amanda raised her bow and knocked in an arrow from her quiver, Ryan raised his own sword, Jack could barely raise his, so he raised a dagger and made a small fire in her hand
I unsheathed my sword from it's scabbard
We were ready to fight, but before we could, an arrow came from nowhere and killed one wolf
Followed by another, then another, and another
"What the hell?" Amanda asked
"Is it me or did it just rain arrows?" Jack asked
Then, a group of people arrived
They all wore white clothing
One of them, the leader, said to the others
"Do a sweep of the area. Make sure no more Scoropos are in this perimeter."
They nodded and jogged awag
The leader turned to us, the hood was covering her face so we couldn't see
"Do not worry." She said "Your safe with us."
Then, the world went black
