Kala's POV:
I stared at all of them in shock. "H-how do you guys know?" I said slowly. They all looked at each other. "Well, when you came up with your idea to defeat Jason, somehow you got into our heads and told us the plan mentally. It freaked us out at first." John explained. I thought about it for a minute. "So, does that mean....." I didn't know what power to call it. "Yea Kala! You have mind control basically!" Terra yelled in excitement. I wondered if I could read people's minds too. "Here, try it in me." Jax suggested. I focused on what to say, then focused on Jax really hard. He laughed after a minute. Emerald looked confused. "What'd she say?" He shook his head. "Well, she said that she thinks you are the one at school who...... Who push people out of the seat!" Emerald looked around nervously. Everyone's jaws went down to their feet. "Your name is Emerald. You have dark hair. It is you!" Kala exclaimed. Emerald put her head in her hands and started sobbing. "Woah woah, what's wrong?" She looked up. "Are you guys ready for a story?" She asked.
As soon as we calmed Emerald down, she started. "When Shadow and I met, we were best friends. We would do everything together. As we got older, he found new ones. Eventually we were in a group of people. Then, when we got into high school, everything changed." She paused for a minute, then continued. "They all thought they were the kings and queens of the school. I knew that was going to happen, but not as extreme. He took it to far one day, and made us dress up looking all evil and stuff like that. Then, he demanded us to be the bad and mean people in the school. If someone doesn't follow his orders, there will be big consequences."
"And what exactly are those consequences?" Henry asked. I was surprised he didn't even know. "H-he'll beat y-you up and..... Well he is an element child so..." She was interrupted by Terra. "What?! He can't be!"
"Oh he is." Emerald said. "We just don't know what power, or powers he has." We all looked around. Suddenly, I remembered how hungry I was. We hadn't eaten in a while. "Hey, where can we get food?" I asked. Henry pointed more into the woods. "There's a little town up ahead. We could see if they have food there."
"Alright, then let's go!" John said, and soon we were off.
When we got to the town, I thought it was the cutest town I've ever seen. "Maybe we can ask someone where we can get something to eat." Jax suggested. We nodded. Before we went, I used my mind-control powers to tell them to conceal our powers. They nodded again, and I went to find someone.
I found a man with wood in his hands. "Hi! Do you know where we can get something to eat?" He put his wood down for a minute. "Yea, over there." He pointed to a little cabin. The lights were on and I could see the outlines of people eating. "Thanks." I said, and told the group to follow me.
We walked through the door, and wonderful aromas wafted through the air. We sat down at a table and ordered food. As we ate, we talked about random things. I got a little curious at one point. "Hey Jax, if you were in the car with me when I got in that accident, where were you?" He looked down a bit. "That wasn't your brother sitting next to you, that was me. You just called me your brother because we were so close." We all fell silent and I nodded. "This just got awkward." Terra whispered to Emerald.
As we were paying for our food, we heard a big boom, and the whole cabin shook. We all ran out past people freaking out and screaming. We got outside and looked around. We saw a shadowy figure in the sky. It looked down at us. It flew down and stood perfectly still right in front of me. Then, my head started pounding and I fell to the ground. All the sounds of the town and my friends disappeared, and all I could see was darkness. Then, I heard him. I was furious. "Hello Kala. Having fun?" He laughed. "Get out of my head, you stupid thing!" I shouted. It laughed again. "Not yet, I just want to ask you something."
"Then what is it?!" I asked it. There was a pause, then,
"Do you want to sit with us now, Kala?"
My eyes flew open. I could see, hear, and my head didn't hurt anymore. I gasped and stood up instantly. I look behind me, and my friends eyes were all the color of their power. They must've fought him off after he told me. I ran to them. "Guys, I know who that is!" They all looked at me waiting for an answer.
"It's Shadow."
After that, my friends stared at me for a long, long time. Then, they looked terrified. "Guys, are you okay?" They pointed behind me, and as I turned around, he was right there. I tried to back up, but he grabbed me and head butted me really hard. Then he let go and took off. After that, he got in my head one last time and said, "That's what you get for telling them."
The world was spinning. I was wobbling. I saw the blurry figures of my friends running over to me and hold me up. I rubbed my head and I started seeing black spots. My head hurt so bad. Then, darkness once again.
I woke up in the air, and flipped out. "Kala, calm down! Emeralds got you!" I looked up and saw her look down at me and smile. I smiled back. "What are we doing?" I asked. "Traveling to Maine, duh." Terra told me. "Oh yea." Well, this adventure is getting really crazy, and it's probably about to get crazier.
