The Gateway That Led To You

Chapter 52

Third Person POV

Time suddenly stopped. Only Aidan, Cleo, Darrel, Ethan and Isabelle were moving. The five of them looked at each other in confusion. "Everyone ok?" Cleo asked.

"Yeah... Other than a headache." Aidan rubbed his head.

"That was weird. I never remembered something that detailed." Darrel said.

"Uh, what's going on?" Isabelle asked, noticing that no one was moving.

"Are we frozen in time?!" Ethan panicked.

"Oh wow, cool!" Darrel exclaimed.

Cleo's hand touched Ethan's shoulder. It immediately caught fire.

"AHH!!!" Ethan tried to put out the fire, throwing himself down to the snow.

"Somebody get some water!" Darrel panicked, Ethan was suddenly drenched, with the fire put out.

"What's going on?!" Isabelle asked again.

"One minute I'm fine, next I'm on fire, next I'm soaking with water! Now time stopped for some reason! What's next?! Being dry would be nice?!" Ethan grumbled, a breeze surrounded him and he was completely dry.

"What's this?" Cleo looked at her palm. "And this?" She pointed to her streak of red hair.

Suddenly a bright light shone on them, it was the moon. They stood out in the open, looking up to the moon. A voice, Manny, talked to them.

"The five elements..."

"What? That doesn't even make any sense." Ethan said.

"Try explaining what happened just now." Cleo shot back.

"I don't get it, who are we? I don't even know who I am now!" Aidan exclaimed. "Is the moon serious? We're the five elements?"

"The flashback... Does this mean that I had some elemental power since young?" Isabelle asked, looking at the symbol on her palm.

"Yes, you just didn't know how to use it, what more control it."

"Why do we have it in the first place?" Cleo asked.

"You were chosen, and you proved yourself worthy. The symbol you each have is your power."

Water began to surround Darrel. "I'm a water bender!" He said excitedly. "I don't even know how I'm doing this!"

Cleo tapped her foot lightly on the ground and a ring of fire circled her feet. "Oh my... I don't know what to say."

Aidan touched a tree, shut his eyes and concentrated, the tree uprooted itself and came to life, shook hands with him with a branch. "Nature is always with me..." Aidan whispered.

Ethan imagined himself being able to fly freely, the wind suddenly lifted him up into the air. "I can do this?!" He asked in disbelief.

Isabelle rubbed her hands together and touched Darrel. "Ow! Hey! Find someone else to be your test subject!" Darrel said, rubbing his arm.

"Electricity... Now what happened when I was six is starting to make sense..." Isabelle muttered to herself then looked at the moon. "How do we control it?"

"You'll learn with time..."

In that instant, time resumed itself. Ethan had a shock when he saw everyone move again and fell down.

"The tree's alive!" Jamie screamed.

Everyone wondered how the five of them suddenly teleported to the other side.
