The 4 Elements: The return

Chapter 4

"Why is the sun so bright?"

"I don't know but I kinda wish it was raining."

"Of course you would want it to rain Skye."

"What would you prefer Eva?"

"Cloudy"

Skylar rolled her eyes and chuckled.

"Are they still sleeping?"

"Yeah. How can they sleep for so long?"

"You could do something to wake them up."

Eva smirked and out of nowhere came a strong wind that pushed all the boys onto the floor. The girls started to laugh that the looks that Zach and Chad gave them. Austin woke up and ran upstairs leaving everyone confused. He came back holding something. It was a photo album.

"I've been thinking about that music room I saw. I couldn't help but think I had seen it before then last night I had another dream and I finally remembered where it was."

He started to flick through the pages while everyone started to walk uptown to him. He landed on a page that showed a music room in their school. 

"I don't know how I could forget it. I used to go there loads of times before I met you guys."

Eva had a look of fear as she took the book and looked at one picture. 

"Skye....."

"Yeah what's up?"

"I think you should look at this."

Skylar went over and looked through the pictures until she saw the picture that made Eva frightened. It was a photo of Skylar and Monica.

"That's impossible."

"Then how is it there?"

"I... I don't know."

Zach took the picture from Skylar. He ran his hand through his hair.

"I knew it. "

Everyone turned to look at Skye.

"I've had this feeling lately. It was like I recognised Monica but I didn't know how."

"Well you were right. You must've known each other to take a photo together."

"Unless you're Austin who loves to take pictures of himself looking weird."

"They're artistic photos to prove the difference of how I look to others."

"Basically pictures to show how many double chins you can have."

"You know me too well."

"What happens now?"

"I guess we're going back to school."

"Yay! Back to prison."

"The quicker we do this, the quicker we will know who she is."

"Are you sure you want to know?"

"We have no choice. We need to know why she has a vendetta against us."

"Fine if we're doing this, can we at least go to the cafe before all Hell is let loose?"

"That sounds like a good idea actually."

"Well we should go before someone tries to steal our spot."

After a 10 minute walk, they arrived at the cafe. They greeted the owner and went to sit in the corner booth. It was quiet........... But not for long. As they looked at the menu, a loud crash could be heard. A group of cloaks had smashed through the window next to them.

"You've got to be kidding me?!" 

They all jumped up and started to fight. Chad and Austen were back to back punching. Eva kicked one in the back causing another cloak to be pushed over. Skylar kicked a chair towards Zack who hit a cloak over the head. Zach lost control and sent a wave of fire which left tables and cloaks on fire.

"Leave!"

All cloaks staggered to their feet and disappeared. 

"Is anywhere safe anymore?"

"Zach?!"

Zach was losing control and his eyes were changing to red. Skylar ran over and held his arms.

"Zach look at me. Control it."

He breathed out and blinked a couple of times. His eyes went back to brown.

"I'll go put the fires out."

"I'll help."

"So we will."

"The cafe is ruined."

"It's my fault."

"Don't Zach."

"What?"

"Don't blame yourself. It doesn't help trust me."

"I feel bad though."

"There's one thing you can do to help."

"No not that."

"Yes Zach you have to help ............ clean."

He fell to his knees.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO."

"Dramatic much?"

"Don't ruin it."

"Get up."

"Yeah I feel ridiculous."

"You look it."

"Hey!"

They all had the same thought and they all had the same answer. Until they figured this out, all they had were each other. The next day they would walk back into the school that caused so many days of torment but they would do anything to finally figure out what was going on.
