The Element Games

6

I woke up with puffy, red eyes and a broken spirit. I sluggishly got into the shower and got dressed. My uniform was crooked because I can't do it myself. I put my ear to the wall and heard Triton snoring slightly. It was my chance. I quickly opened my door and walked out of my room. There waiting for me, was none other than Tranquility. She had that smug look on her face. "Shut up and go away! I don't want to see or talk to you!" She mocked as I stalked past her pushing her with my arm, almost knocking her over. I turned around. I don't care if I wake my brother, I want every one to hear this.

"You sicken me! You take my brother away from me and you corrupt him! I hate your guts, and you'll be the first to die when the Games begin!" I was about to cry again when I had a great idea. I snapped my fingers, "Sorry to rain on you're parade, oh wait, no I'm not." A dark cloud formed over her and the lightning began. The cloud poured water all over her and her 100% cotton uniform. I waved and gave her the sweetest look I could muster, "Enjoy." I skipped down the hall as I heard her screams.

...

This training, all of the rooms combined into one and we were able to train with kids from the other sectors. When training started, I saw that Tranquility still had the cloud over her and when she looked at me it was like she was trying to destroy me with her mind, I just looked at her with determined eyes and drew a line with my thumb across my neck. When Triton came in, he looked at Tranquility with anger, but he looked at me with pleading eyes. I ignored him as I was getting into position to fight Phoenix.

It was truly an epic battle. Phoenix had the upper hand until I trapped her in a whirlpool. I had just shook hands with Phoenix when a man appeared out of smoke and fire. The Element Master of fire. No one bowed. He looked like he was the complete opposite of the Element Master of water. He was a young man who looked about three years older than Triton, with short black hair and was all muscle. "Children, the time has come for your Team Exercise. For this, you must team up with people from different Sectors. When you find your partners, go to your assigned room." Feather, Leaf, Phoenix, and I paired up and were heading to Room B when Triton grabbed my arm.

"Rivers..." he started but I cut him off.

"Just save it," I jerked my arm out of his grasp and followed my team into Room B.

The room was small with four chairs in a row. I got in the second chair and strapped into the chair. When everyone was strapped in, a woman dressed in white came in with a cart full of syringes. She injected Phoenix first, who instantly slumped back in her chair, not moving. When the woman came to me with a brand new syringe, I struggled against the cold grip of her glove. She plunged the needle into my arm and everything went dark.
