Elements: A world away

The Savour

Chapter 2

Finally getting to school Max has found that the doors are already locked and class has started “Dammit why did I sleep in so late it’s the third time this week; anyway Greg will probably let me in through the window again” Max ran around the side of the school running until he got to the very last window and knock twice then paused and knocked again. He waited for at least a minute then the window slowly opened and he crept inside making no noise and not one person including the teacher noticed that he was now sitting behind a large and well-built guy with blonde hair down to his shoulders and deep green eyes then he whispered

“You finally made it Max, I was getting worried what happened?” That was Jack, he and Max had been friend ever since max helped Jack when he was getting beating up. Even though Jack was twice his size he has a very soft heart. “I had that weird dream again; you know the one that I told you about?” Max said with an annoyed tone in his voice, “Yay I know the one with the dark room and the weird sensation” Jack looked directly into his eye when talking this time worry and concern filling his eyes and heart. “The bizarre thing about the dreams is that they are getting more frequent and more realistic” With that last comment the teacher noticed that Max was now in his seat.

“Maxwell, nice to see that you have joined us” Mr Canady

“See sir that is where you are wrong this is where he is leaving you” It was the girl from the alleyway her long blonde hair with ice blue ends was tied up into a braid. She was tall and stood there staring at Max then she through a cylinder shaped container and as soon as it hit the ground it exploded with a thick black smoke covering the room. Under the cover of the smoke the girl ran towards Max and stepped up behind him and whispered in his ear

“It’s time to come back to where you belong. It’s time that you return to the land above the clouds far away from this place.” And with that she hit him right on a nerve and Max passed out falling backwards into her arms. The mysterious girl was about to jump out of the window when someone took hold of her arm. Placing Max on his chair she spun round as quickly as lighting and placed her knight to Jacks throat.

“What the hell Holly! I was about to take him to the Floating School of Elements out of his own free will, then you come and ruin my plan”

“Oh it’s just you Jack. Well plans have changed you have been taking care of him for five years now.” Holly said while taking the knife away from his throat “Plans have changed and the Queen herself has order me to take him to ‘the school’ and teach him the skills he needs to save the Kingdom above the clouds.”

“Well then I am coming with you” Jack said while opening the window and jumping out

“If that is what you desire” Holly said as she lowered Max towards Jack.

“Sorry about this Max but if your home was in danger you would do the same as we are now” and with that the tree of them ran off towards Holly’s red Ferrari placing Max who was still unction in the back and Jack sat next to him with Holly seeding away as soon as they were settled.

“So it’s good to see you again Holly, how have you been since that day?” Jack decided to make conversation.

“I don’t want to talk about it, what I do want to talk about is how you of all people got stuck babysitting this chosen one. I mean you aren’t exactly reliable”

“The queen wanted someone who had actually had live among the down worlders and I was the only one that wasn’t on a mission and his name isn’t the chosen one it’s Max”

“Oh my god, Max as in Maximus the last protector of the Cloud Kingdom and commander of the army the protected us for nine hundred years?” she asked nearly crashing into the car next to her when she spun around.

“Yay I guess so why?”

“I didn’t really think that this down worlder could actually be the chosen one, the one that would save our world. Then I went to his house this morning to see if there was even the tiniest of hopes in him. And when he came out I was nearly knock strait off my feet because of the amount of power his aura had it was even more then the queens, to make it even better I was using a concealment spell and I swear he still knew I was there he turned around and looked directly at me but then kept walking. Now his name Is the same as Maximus I’m 100% certain that he is the chosen one the one to save up from the ones that hunt us down just to drain our powers”

“Well now that you believe that he is the true savour can I wake him up? We are nearly there anyway and we need to explain to him what is happening”

“I just you can but if he run I not the one chasing him” With that Jack pressed five different pressure points and Max slowly started to wake up. Slowly sitting up Max looked around and saw Jack staring at him with a look of concern.

“Hey sleeping beauty your awake, how do you feel?”

“What the hell happened? And where are we?” Max half yelled with anger in his word and burning in his eyes, as soon as he noticed who was driving Max nearly jumped out of the car but Jack grabbed his hand so that he couldn’t leave.

“I’m sorry but you can never go back to the life that you once had without the price of our Kingdom. You have to stay with us.”

“Jack what are you talking about you are really scaring me” Max’s eye were no longer fill with anger but fear.

“I’m saying that you have to forget who you once were and become the person that our people need you to be….. The Savour”
