Countless Time

End of Darkness

"No that can't be true. I- I can't be- be a -, " I started stuttering. 

'Well you are sweet hear and it's in your blood. But you weren't supposed to find out until you turned seventeen. Each of us controll an elment. But my line if very weak. I have to use up all my energy just in order to get a camp fire started, Malcolm also controls fire, and Will too,boys get it at 14. While girls get it a 17. But you. You're just fourteen and you started an earthquake without trying. You control earth Sam. And your powers greater than most old witches. 

" Are there more witchs here? " I asked. 

" Yup. Travis and his mom are stronger witches," she said. 

I stare at her. No. This was not possible. 

" Is Crystal?" 

"No," she answered.

"I gonna go to the pool," I said slowly. I needed a quiet place to think. And the house wasn't it. I pack my bags and left with Will. Lucy insisted he go with me so I wouldn't start something again. 

"I can't even be a normal witch," I retort after I get in the car. 

" That's what makes you special sis," Travis still hadn't let go of the whole " best brother" thing. 

I ran out of the car once we got o the pool. And like all ways it was deserted due to cold weather. Yay! I quickly changed into my bathing suit. It was a one piece and had a whole in the back and clung to me body. I pulled my hair back into a bun and put my stuff in a locker. Me and Will were the only people here other than he one life gaurd. Who was dozing of. I rolled my eyes. 

I looked ino the deeo water under the diving bored. I dived in. I fell deeper and deeper into the water. And held my breath and closed while counting. 

1,2,3,4,5,6...

I felt someone grab my. I tried to scream bu took in a mouthful of water. I kicked of e ground and flew o the top and took in hungry breath. 

" What the ell were you doing. You've been down there for 2 whole minutes. 

" I was seeing how long I could old me breath," I say to will. MY back burn. My hand automatically flies out to touch it. I was on fire. I urned around and ran for he changing rooms. I'm going home I screamed on the way there. 

I quickly put my clothes on and ran out of the building and out into the parking lot. I shivered in he cold. My hair fell over my shoulder sicking to my face. I saw Will coming ou and ran into the forest. I kept running until I got lost. 

I looked around and saw only trees and a rock on the far end and. I ran towards i and hear a twig snap. I felt a hand cover my mouth and pull me back. I tried scream bu I heard he person holding me to be quiet. I heard more foot steps. They were coming closer. I closed my eys and shivered un controlably. I was so cold. I leand into thhe stranger holding me. My breathing slowed. Something was wrong. I felt like all my srngth was draining away. I heard the footsteps moving further away. The person let me go. I pulled away so hard I toppled onto the ground. Here were flakes of ice around us. And that's when I saw his face.

Travis.

My teeth chatered. I looked a my finger tips and saw hem turning blue.  " What are you doing?" i whispered. 

" Shhh," he said putting a hand o his lips and staring a something behind me. I turned and saw a figuremovin closer to us. The closer hhe came he colder it got. Travis came and lifted me up. is hands were burning against my freezing skin. My we hair were turning frosty. I leaned my head against his shoulder as he moved towards the rock. He went around the rock and climbed down into a hole. 

He leaned me against he wall once we got to the bottom. And walked to towards a bunch of twigs. He whispered something and they all went up in flames. My body reacted to the flames. My body sucks in the flames. Warming itself up. I close my eyes and sigh. I open my eyes and find Travis siting in the far corner looking at his watch. 

 " What were you doing here?" I ask. 

" Saving you." 

" I didn' need saving," 

"Say's the girl who was dying of hypothermia five seconds ago. " he says looking into my eyes. I get up and walk away. I find the ladder we came in from. I pull m self up and jump out, and run right into WIll. 

"Good your okay." he says taking a deep breath.

I feel wierd. To hot and to cold at the same time. I see the figure again. Time slows down. His hands glow black. Fear veers through me. He lets go off power I push Will out of the way and take the full impact.

It burns. My heads shoots back and my legs give out Beneath me. And with that the pains gone. I stand and stare a the dark figure. The wind pics up as my hair fly around me. Anger flows through my veins. I look down and feel the ground shaking. I meet the strangers red eyes. I hold my head high and walk towards him. 

I'm not cold anymore. I feel Strong. Powerful. I raise my right hand and see i glowing while my other hands burning red. My hands and his chest touch. Nothing happens. No until I push him. He sail through the air and hit the ground with a thud. I feel warmer. My clothes are shining a bright white. I walk forward until I'm standing a few feet away from where he's laying. I grab the back of his jacket and lift him up. 

"Who are you?" I ask. My voice strong. Commanding. 

"It's you. Your the one we've been waiting for," he gasps

" What are you talking about?" I ask

"Your the one who balance dark and light. For years the world has been taken over by darkness but you, are the light," he say." Which is why I must kill you," he says pulling out  a clawed hand. His red eyes glowing. 

"Burn in hell ," I whisper and watch as flames run from my hands into is body. Burning him until he's nothing but ash. 

The adrenaline I was feeling seconds ago fades to nothingness. I fall to me knees and watch the ashes fly away. I slowly get up to my feet and walk towards Travis and Will. 

" He said-he said th- that I'm light," I whisper and collapse into one of there arms. 

I'm light. All these years I thought I was nothing and now I'm the one who balances the universe. 

I close my eyes and dream of light.
