Discovering Elements

(Cai)Summer Storm

Izak and Aloe left, and I figured we need to get a little business done. I looked over at Kaiti, and started the conversation. "Where are we going to go? We at least need to build a safe house." I said, trying to think of what we would be doing. We need to do something to make a base, or at least a hideaway so we could continue, grow, or at least practice. I noticed Kaiti and Lily talking about an area that would make a nice house. At least it would not be to hard to gather supplies, since we could just create them. Izak and Aloe came back, and it seemed Izak was almost to tears. Aloe seemed shaken, so I did not pursue what happened.

We agreed that it should be a base for people like us, who have powers but do not want to be a prisoner of the "school" or anywhere similar. We began to move when Aloe and Lily stopped. "What are you guys doing?" Izak said to them. "We are going to create a base here, so that way we can help those who escape, and then send them too.". We left them be, but we said we would be back once we found a way to communicate.

We made it to the town that Kaiti came from. When we came across it, Kaiti had us change her looks. She then walked with us, but kept her head down and stayed behind us. We found some money on the ground, which was a blessing. We have not have actual human food ever since we had ran away. With the 10$ in our pockets, we walked to the McDonald's. Izak went in to grab our food when some kid came to talk with us. He began to talk with us, but when we did not talk back he hit Kaiti. As she fell her disguise fell off, as of fault to our limited supplies. He showed recognition upon seeing her face. He began stuttering, surprised he found her. He then walked over and looked at me. "So, you took her? Or what?" he said. I did not answer, so he yelled it to me. Everyone's attention was suddenly on us. The crowd realized who it was with me. The guy punched me and Kaiti's face snapped. She rose, saying in a dark but loud tone "You have messed with the wrong person", her face glowing with a dark menace. She raised her hand, intent on her face. The drinks in the onlookers cups rose out, gathering around the guys feet. "Josh, you better know you you confront next time. The mix of sodas and water began to climb up him, surrounding his whole body. The water covered his stupefied face and covered his mouth and nose. "Kaiti, stop before you do something you regret!" I screamed over the screaming of the crowd, mine making it not five feet before it was smothered. It did not need to reach her, just my face did. She gasped, realization at what she was doing dropped on her. She looked hurt, pained, scared, and confused all at the same time.

Izak chose that moment to come out with our food, and we ran for it. They followed us, angry and uncaring. At one point we were shot at, but we still ran. We made it to another nearby town when we stopped. I said that we need to stop, hunger clawing at my stomach. When we sat down at a base of a tree, me and Kaiti's stomachs growled at the things he was pulling out. Burgers, fries, shakes, and nuggets. We ravaged it, leaving not a crumb. The grease slid down my throat, hunger getting the better of me. When we finished, we sat down to relax. We dropped out, our full bellies playing a big part.

We woke up to the sun setting, and some kids tramping though the woods behind us. "Shouldn't you guys be heading home?" the kids asked us when they came out. Kaiti, obviously still half-asleep spoke too truthfully, "If we had one... I don't even know if they would be okay if I came back.". The kids suddenly realized we were "runaways", just not the whole elemental thing. They pulled out their phones, calling the police. Izak yelled at them, but they could not have done anything. I felt my energy increase as their phones died. Instincts are great right? Kaiti quickly grabbed their phones. Shaking with fear, they spoke "What are you going to do to us?". We began to take off, going back because we were obviously leaving a trail. As we began to run, the kids didn't follow us. Thinking we were in luck, we slowed down. Just as we looked back to check on them, Izak was hit by a rock. Kaiti stopped to take care of him, so I turned to defend. The kid who threw the rock had another in his had, bouncing it up and down. He pulled his hand back, getting ready to throw. Before he could throw the good ten pound rock, I sent out a shockwave. Izak and Kaiti were shocked because I could not control it yet, but the kids got the brunt of it.

"So you think you can just attack us after witnessing the drainage on your phone? We were minding our own business before you bothered us!" "We just want answers, Merlin has a power too" They replied to my questions. The nerdy kid shook his head, and then the wind picked up. The nerdy kid then began to speak, but was shivering with fear "I can do things with the weather, like strengthen the wind, make it sprinkle, and make it foggy.". To test to see if he had, I told him to stop the wind that was picking up. It began to slow a quick speeds, but did not stop. The concentration on the kids face made me tell him to stop. The wind began to return to normal, but a tornado must've been forming from the wind changes. "You need to come with us, or you will be hunted down!" I yelled over the wind. He nodded as the tornado hit, pulling us in. We were moving so fast that we could not concentrate. Suddenly it stopped, dropping us ten feet.

"I did it, I stopped it, I just had to protect my friends, I stopped a tornado!" Speaking of his friends we ran over to protect them. They had hit a tree, but they were thankfully not bleeding badly. They would be fine.
