Bond of the Elements (Book 1 in the BOE Trilogy)

Talk With Quinn

I sat in my bedroom, thinking about today, how the Dark King was there, and said words that made little to no sense. Who is this sister? Could it be Kamer? No, she doesn't hate me... Yet. Ever? Nope.

It had to be Quinn. Quinn now has such a hatred for me I don't know how it could be anyone else.

I can't see a resemblance at all, Quinn had eyes that glassed over any emotion that you could think of, and twinkled with happiness, even when mad you could still see it. But he had eyes that bore into insanity, and a lust for power.

I picked up my phone to call Quinn.

It ringed forever, before it went to voice mail. So, I left a message.

"Hey Quinn, I know you kinda sorta hate me right now, but gosh, how do I put this? Um I think I ran into your long lost brother! Hehe, you know, the one that wears black and has eyes that portray a villan that wants to watch the world burn? Yeah that one. If you don't remember, he can also turn into a bunny and who knows what else. Call back when you can, Cassidy, the one you hate," I stopped the voice mail.

"Gosh that sounded so stupid," I muttered, rumbling my temple.

Five minutes later, I got a call back, from Quinn.

"Hello?"

"Cass, hey. I'm sorry, but I don't have the slightest freaking flaking turtle caking idea of what you are talking about, please explain so I don't have to face having to figure out myself!"

"Oh! Yeah, I ran into that Dark King dude today in the hall, and he talked to me about me being a pawn in his game to make his sister hate me to make her turn evil and blah blah blah he turned into bunny I got detention for saying a bunny is the dark King blah blah and then he said to say to his sister that he misses her. And I only thought, 'hey, it must be Quinn so let's call up the girl who holds a grudge against me to talk about an evil man who she probably has no memory of!'"

Silence.

"well, sounds like you had a great day, have fun with that. Byeeeeeee,"

"Wait!"

"What?"

"Just, ask your parents about this, they probably know. Please, I can't stand you hating me, and I don't want you to go to the dark side," I pleaded.

"Cass, I don't want to go to that side, but if I have to, I won't complain, I look good in black."

I laughed and airy laugh. She can still make me laugh even when she hates me, I thought.

"Just, do it."

"K, and don't go around talking to strangers, for all you know this mysterious man in black claiming to be my bro could've killed you!"

"Trust me, I'm pretty sure if I wasn't 'a pawn in his plan' he would've,"

"Ok, I will go ask, good luck, Cassidy, tell this King I said hi next time he comes around!" Then she hung up.

What an odd soul.
