Element Fairies

In the Clouds

"One more month... I'll be a freshman... I can't do this!! I shouldn't even be thinking about school!!!" I whined.

This is what I was thinking about. I was going to be a freshman and be in all Pre-AP. All of my summer break I couldn't stop thinking about school. I have to do good.

Another reason is because my mom said I have to make new friends. Last year I was alone. And the year before that and... ok let me stop there.

I can't do that because every single friend I've ever made has always left me. By moving, separation, popularity, and betrayal.

"Candace!!!" A voice yelled outside my room.

"Ugh. What?!" I yelled back. I got up from my bed and walked outside to see my mom. She was on her phone as always.

"Go get ready." She kept looking at her phone.

"Why?" I obviously knew why. It was because-

"We're going to a party." She finished my thoughts.

I glared at her and walked away. There is no point in arguing with her about this. We go to parties like five times a week.

Once I get ready I look into my bedroom mirror. Dark brown hair in a ponytail as always. Dark brown eyes normal. No makeup because I hate it. My long black shirt with a sparkling star in the center and teal jeans. And black sparkly shoes.

I grabbed my phone and headed outside to the car.

The music is playing and I'm sitting down near the kids and on my phone. I sigh and watch my YouTuber's videos.

"When are we gonna leave?" I said to myself.

I look up to see the night sky covered in clouds. I close my eyes and move my hand. A breeze comes and makes me cooler.

I opened my eyes and lightning and thunder comes. Rain starts falling.

The kids get scared and run to their parents. I feel bad for them.

'Okay let me calm it down.' I raise my fingers and try to calm it down. Usually it would calm down, because of my powers. But now...it just got worse. The wind blew strong and I tried to stop it.

"Wendy? Can you calm down?!" I stand up and the rain comes down harder. Lightning strikes near the area and my head starts hurting.

"CANDACE!!! Come on let's go!!!" My dad yells. I look to the sky and run to the car soaked. My head starts to hurt really bad but I ignore it.

Once I'm home I go to sleep. It was past midnight and I thought I would knock out. Usually I'd sleep better with rain, but now it was like the lighting was literally striking my head.

I got so weak. I tried to calm the storm but every time I tried the worse it got. I couldn't handle the pain anymore. This was so strange. Not even the wind will calm down.

Lightning struck the ground and my room trembles like an earthquake. I finally get too weak and I faint.

"Candace..." A soft voice calls me and I look around. I was in the clouds.

"Am I dead..?"

"No." The voice laughs.

I wander around seeing the beautiful colors of the sunset on the clouds. It was like heaven but I must be dreaming.

I touched a cloud and I feel refreshed. I walk through it and feel like this is home. Inside the clouds I see a woman. She had wavy light blonde hair and was wearing a white flowy dress with pastel colors.

"Um excuse me. But who are you..." I ask her she turned around to greet me with light aqua eyes.

"I am Wendy. It's nice to actually meet you in person." She smiled.

"Wait. What? Y-You're Wendy?!" I said in amazement. "I think I'm just dreaming..."

"In a way you are. But I need to tell you this before she comes." She came over to me. I got worried.

"Before who comes?" I ask.

"Someone. Now listen. Remember when you first got your powers? You found a crystal." I nodded. I remember it as if it were yesterday. "Look." She opened her hand to reveal the crystal I have lost. She placed it in my hands and I held it close.

"I thought I lost it...where did it go?" I look up to Wendy. "It was absorbed into you but now you can use it. Carry it with you at all times, it will help you."

"I will...but why do I need help?

She sighed and spoke. "It's someone who took control over Barak. He isn't himself anymore and whenever he is out of control I lose control too. That's why you couldn't do anything earlier." She looked down.

" What?! How could someone else take control?! I thought I was the only one since my friends didn't believe!!"

"I'm not sure how, but I will tell you once I know!" She looked to the sky and a breeze came. "Whoever is controlling him is using him for evil. You'll get weak whenever strong storms come. But whenever you see the Great Tree again I'm sure he'll say something about it." She smiled.

"Okay so whenever I go back to my school..."

"Yes. Now it's time for you to go. When you wake up you will have the crystal in your hand okay." She smiled one last time and I woke up.
