RECAP:

"Why did you call me?" I ask.

"It is about Quinn." She replies.

************************************************************************************************************

Nick's POV

Her serious tone sends chills up my spine. My palms start sweating like they always do when I am nervous. Something is terribly off. I notice that the lady is waiting for my response. "What happened?" I ask her nervously.

I am scared. Quinn maybe annoying at times and he might get mad at us a lot but in the past three weeks he has been like an older brother to me. He even has dinner with us once in a while when he isn't out on his missions. Maybe something happened to him on a mission. But how? Quinn is unbeatable. His stories are popular through-out the school. Who could have harmed the best student to graduate from Zion Academy?

The lady looks at me with me sympathy. Why is she looking at me like that? Why do I feel like the night my parents died? Why? "Come on. We have to get the others." She grabs her long back cloak and walks down the hall. I follow her.

Her heels are loud in the quiet and deserted hallway. I take a closer look at her as I walk. I feel like I know her and I don't. I have never seen her in the school but something about her seems familiar. She has the kind of face that is not easily remembered. Her face shows no expression but her eyes looks as if she has gone through a lot of pain.

She gives off a powerful aura. A scary kind of power. I shiver.

Why did they send her to get me?

Andria's POV

"To control water... you need to feel like water. You need to stop trying to stay in control of your body and let it loose. Relax." I do as she says. But I don't feel comfortable doing it. I like being in control. I don't feel safe otherwise.

"First step to relax starts with unclenching your fists, Andria." Ms. Heffernan tells me. Oh. Right. Unclenching fists. Forgot about that. I unclench my fists and loosen myself up to the best of my abilities.

This is probably one of my least favourite classes. I can't stand not being the best. Just like Xavier. I can't believe he can control his element so well. But he has been training with it his whole life so it makes a little sense.

It was hard to believe myself when I read that my golden paper said Water. I mean, how the hell did they make that connection? From which angle do I look like a water person? Because of that stupid paper I have been working day and night to learn how to swim. And now I have to learn how to make the water from one glass go to another. This is probably the first time I have found a subject hard.

"Come on, Andria. We know you can do it." Ms. Heffernan encourages me. I AM trying. I look around the class. The whole class (which consists of 20 students) are waiting for me to finish. All of them have already gotten their water across. Most of the students here are teenagers. However, there are some 12 year olds as well. And they all look up to me. In the little while here... all the teachers have spread the word about how good I am in every subject so everyone expects me to do great on this one as well. Just my luck.

During the past ten tries I have gotten the water from that glass everywhere but to its destination. I have drenched not only myself but also the students on both sides of me. I am pathetic. It's a good that we learned how to dry ourselves automatically during the first class and that the whole room is water proof or they would probably be cursing at me right now.

I try to lift the water again. Half of it rises in the air and falls to the glass floor. Great.

Before I try again...I get sidetracked by the glass floor and what I see through it. That is the thing about the BODIES section of the Academy. It doesnt have the plain white hallways with white everything. It is divided into four Sub-sections for each element. And each Sub-section is decorated according to its element. I am not allowed to be in any section besides my own but I have heard that the Earth Section is like a rainforest and each hallway has grass on the floor and vines and flowers on the walls. Even their bell sounds like birds chirping. The water section is not that bad either. It is like walking in one of those aquariums. All the walls and floors are made of glass through which you could see the bottom of some ocean.

Right now there is a shark underneath my feet. For some reason this shark follows me to every class I take in this section of the school- which arent many. But i like to think of him as my personal pet. I always wanted a goldfish. Sharks are pretty much the same thing, right? I call him Dolphin. Don't ask me why.

"Hey Dolphin. How are you doing today?" He smiles when I greet him. At least I think it was a smile.

"Ms. Evans. Please pay attention. Here, let me show it to you again." Ms. Heffernan suggests. She closes her eyes and water magically appears in her glass. "Okay so you just have to concentrate on your destination. It is kind of like shooting a basket ball through a hoop." Just as Ms. H gets her water to the other glass...someone walks in through the door. I look up.

I spot a lady dressed in completely black walk in. Her skin tight clothing makes it look as if she is a spy going on a mission. I know that the MINDS wear all black but I know she is not one of them. I spend basically my whole day at the MINDS section. I have never seen her. Plus she is wearing a cloak. I don't have a good feeling about her.

"Hello. I was wondering if I could borrow Andria?" she asks Ms. H. What does this lady want with ME?

"Umm...sure." Ms. H says looking confused. She is probably thinking the same thing I am. Why me?

It doesn't matter. I am not going with her. It doesn't feel safe. Just when I am about to object going with her... I spot the other three at the door. I have to know what is happening. I pick up my stuff and follow the lady out the door. What emergency could give these three the authority to come to this Sub-section? It is forbidden.

I get a gut feeling this is not going to be good news.
