The Dark Hour

--------Lalna--------

I was in the bathroom rewrapping my arms when I heard the front door open. I froze for a second then I quickly shut the door.

"Lalna!" I sighed, it was just Ridge. I opened the door and went to the living room. He smiled at me and sighed.

"Hey, you ok?" He asked gently. I nodded.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Ok, you sure?"

"Yeah, just maybe a little on edge."

"About what?" He asked walking, well kinda limping a little, over to me.

"Well kinda everything. I don't think that the gang is just going to do nothing. There was this guy asking me questions about how to get into the angel base and I don't know if-"

"Hey, it's ok. I'm sure that your dad and the other leaders here are working on this. And I'm not going to let anything happen to you. I promise." I nodded and smiled softly.

"Yeah, thanks Ridge." He hugged me and I hugged him back.

"So um I have something to tell you," He said quietly. I looked up at him.

"What is it?"

"Um, so I'm not human," He said slowly.

"You're not?"

"No, um I'm what Castiel called an elemental. It's kinda um... I can do water magic and anything related to water magic but that's it." I nodded.

"Ok, so what can you do?"

"Um move water around, make things out of ice, and heal people."

"You can heal?" I asked a little excited. He nodded.

"Yeah, I healed this burn on my friend's leg."

"Friend? Nevermind you can tell me later. Um can you heal my arms?" I asked softly. His eyes lit up and he nodded.

"Yeah, um let me see them." I unwrapped my arms and Ridge looked over them. "Ok, um hold on I'll be right back." He went to the kitchen then he came back with a glass of water. He set the glass down then I watched with wide eyes as he pulled the water out of the glass.

"Ok so don't freak out and tell me if it hurts, ok?" I nodded. He gently moved then water down my arms and it felt like a cool breeze was going down my arms. He pulled the water away and all the scratch marks I had on my arms were gone. I smiled and Ridge quickly put the water back in the cup.

"That's awesome," I smiled. He nodded.

"Yeah I thought so too. I don't think I can heal myself though, I tried and it didn't really work." I nodded.

"It's ok, we can find Ryan and see if he can help."

"Yeah I guess so. But don't you think you should get dressed first?" He asked smirking. I nodded.

"I guess, but I like wearing pajamas," I smiled.

"Lalna," Ridge chuckled.

"Fine," I said getting up. "I'll go get dressed then we can go see Ryan." Ridge nodded.

"Ok." I went to the room and got on a clean t-shirt and jeans. I found a pair of socks when I heard someone knock on the front door.

"I got it!" Ridge called out. I pulled on my socks then went to the living room and saw Skyla.

"Hey Skyla," I smiled as I ran over and hugged her. She giggled and hugged me back.

"Hey Lalna, how are you doing?"
