      Audrenia and me were hiding from the Capricorn who was hot on our trail. We really shouldn't have turned that corner. I scolded myself shamefully. I made a rock wall and hit the Capricorn where it hurt and continued to run. I grabbed Audrenia's hand and gave her a look that I hope said, "Use the water." 

       As I handed her a pouch filled with the liquid, a smile grew on my face as I watched Audrenia quickly command the water to do as she said. Water trickled out of the pouch and began to swirl as it formed a waterspout. 

     The waterspout grew within seconds, making the other zodiac signs scream in terror. The water flooded and expanded as it washed over the walls. I got a large piece of earth to break the wall and watched as chunks of it flew everywhere. Audrenia and I ran out of the building as I replaced the wall with a thick wall of earth and stone. 

     Audrenia and I finally made it back to the house. The two of us were extremely tired as our powers had drained us. When I made sure that Kalemia was still in the basement, I gently nudged her awake and released her from my vines. She looked up at me confused.

     I helped her stand up as I led her to a guest room I had set up for her. "Wh-why are you being so nice to me? I thought I was your enemy!" She exclaimed confusedly. I gave her a small smile and gestured towards the room.

    "You may not be my friend but you are not my enemy. You are nothing but a person who needs help discovering who she is. Please, take this room for the night. You've been through so much already." I answered as I watched her walk into the room.
