The Elements (CURRENTLY BEING EDITED AND REWRITED)

17. You!

Okay, here I am. Open the door. Come on Shadow. Do it. You can do it. They won't kill you. I hope.

I took a deep breath and opened the apartment door. As I stepped into the living room, all of them were siting on the couches and staring at me.

I gave them a sheepish smile. "Hey guys."

Silence.

"Hey guys." I said a little bit louder.

"Don't you dare 'hey guys' us." Sparky said and point her finger at me.

I looked at River begging him to save my ass.

"Don't you dare to look at me with that face. It's 9 pm! You know how freaked out I was?? You left into the forest, ALONE, for 1 hour! You know that that forest is full of darks and they can chop your head off with just one finger????!!!" River was now yelling at me and walking in my direction.

With every step he took ahead I took one back because River is mad and I'm not stupid. Sadly my back was now pressed into the wall and River was right in front of my breathing like a dragon.

"I'm sorry River. I was just shocked and I wanted some time alone. I'm sorry." I said, actually whispered because he really scared me. I'm not getting scared easily but he looks like he was going to kill me and I'm scared because I know he can kill me.

"River! You idiot, you're scaring her! Look at her face!" Flame yelled at him.

His face soften and sighs. "I'm sorry for yelling at you but I was just worried. Don't do that ever again." he said and hugged me.

"Okay....Now can you let me go?"

"Fine. But we have some things to discuss." he let me go and gave me a pointed look.

"YOU! You are an idiot!" Sparky yelled and punched me in the shoulder.

"AUCH! Woman! Stop being violent!" I yelled back at her.

"Don't-"

"ENOUGH!" Flame yelled and dragged us into the living room. "Sit."

I didn't had the energy to protest so I just dropped myself on the couch next to Hazel.

"Now that we all are here, you kids need to know a little detail because tomorrow we start attending this academy and you have to know why the kids will be staring at you. You don't have wh-"

"OMG! Just say it already!!" I yelled exasperated.

"Okay, calm down! We are royals." Flame said and puffed his chest out.

Me, Sparky, Lincoln and Sky, we all had another reaction.

I was blinking, Sparky started to laugh, Lincoln has a WTF face and Sky looked like he was about to faint.

"Yeah, right." Sparky said between her laughing.

I sighed. "To be honest, nothing surprise me right now."

"Why everything is spinning?" Sky looked paler that usual.

"Well, at least it was better than this morning. Yup, we all are royals and that's why we are so powerful. The royals are more powerful than the normal elementars." River said relieved.

"And why are royals so powerful?" Lincoln asked and rolled his eyes.

"Because our grand grand grandparents were the ones that built this world and its rules. They were the leaders and they were the only ones who could control the rare elements. That's why." River explained and Flame glared at Lincoln.
