The Unexplainable

Chapter 9

Three hours later and, we were in Chicago. Matt was still driving and I was still trying to process what I learned. On the way, I was trying to practice my wind power but Matt said I need to have a breakthrough, so he brought me to the Windy City, he said that should help.He also said the Celertain is in the Michigan Lake though I'm a little scared because he said the Celertrain was inside the lake.

"So, when did you have your breakthrough." I said ripping the silence like a knife.
"Umm, when I was 14." He said
"Is that good or bad." I asked
"Well, it depends on your power or element. Not everyone has an element, only the Electi have the elements." He explained.
"Oh, so will the breakthrough hurt?" I asked trying to sound confident.
"No, I can't explain it. We are connected to the earth, that's why we can control the five elements. "He said.He was quickly interrupted by Sophie "But what about the people that can't control the elements?" "Everyone can control an amount of an element. But they can only do one thing, for example, if you have wind you can have wind generation where you can do a blast of wind." He finished " Huh, and so the Elite can control the full element?" She asked biting her lip, dang those nervous habits. " Correct." He answered pulling up to the lake. When they both got off of the car Sophie could smell the fresh air from the winds and the water. The water was crystal blue, the clouds were high in the sky and had a shade of gray on them. The wind felt like a blanket around Sophie's skin, she never understood why she loves the wind or the idea of flying but once she arrived at the Windy City she realized it was because the wind was like her. Wild and tamed all at the same time.

"Are we going like in a boat or something?" Asked Sophie " Or something." Answered Matt smirking. 'Man why does he have to be so cute,' thought Sophie.

After Matt rented a boat from a guy wearing a dirty white t-shirt and weirdly staring at her- giving Sophie the total creeps- they set sail to the middle of the Michigan Lake.

"Okay we're here, now what?" asked Sophie.
"Now we are going to throw this charm in the water." He pulled out a charm the shape of a raindrop with a colorful tree in the middle, from a bracelet he had on his wrist, and threw it in the water and immediately the water started to spin.
"Come on we don't a lot of time." He said. He grabbed my hand and jumped into the water pulling me with him.

The feeling was strange. I could feel the water but at the same time air, and I could breathe fine, well as fine as you can while a weird force is pulling you at 80 miles an hour.

When I felt still I opened my eyes and I was standing in front of five trees. The first one had a purple bark with orange branches and sky blue leaves. The second one had an ocean trunk with dark blue branches and turquoise color leaves.Another tree looked like a normal tree except this one had beautiful flowers of all different colors. The last one had a bright red trunk with orange branches and crystal bright blue leaves. They were all the same hight except for the middle tree. This one was taller than all the rest and had a bright gold trunk with bronze branches and the leaves had rose gold leaves with a black outline.

After I stopped admiring the trees I realized that I was still holding on to Matt's hand. I quickly let go of his hand and bit my lip, as usual, my nervous habit gets the best of me.

After the awkward silence past, I heard the soothing and firm voice of a beautiful woman say  "Good afternoon, Princess Sophie. I'm Ketsia and Vargo has been waiting for you."
