The Elementalists

Chapter 5

--Isabella's POV--

I woke up and checked my mail, as I saw something very interesting........

To: Isabella Lockeheart

From: Drunken Dragons

Our third annual Tournament is today. Sorry for springing it on you all! As usual, Dusk will probably defeat us all. Again. Anyways, here are the listings.

First Round:

Isabella Lockeheart vs. Milton Sevich

Merrick Sevich vs. Rose Winters

Dusk Blackwood vs. Norick Reynolds

Melissa is a healer, so I decided to remove her. But good luck to you all!

-Sven Silcrest

"Nooooooooooo!" I scream in fury. "I wanted to destroy Melissa, but she's lucky Sven saved her!" my hair begun turning gray. "No!!! Don't!" I say, fighting back my Insanity. "I won't let it take hold... when Norick and I kissed last night.... his love was there.... I sensed it... I can't let it get in the way! I wait and calm down, as I went to the guild house.

I got there minutes later.

"First Match!" Sven said. "Isabella vs.-"

"No!" Milton raised his hand. "I won't fight a girl!"

D-does he think I'm weak?! Well, I'll show him!

--Milton's POV--

I can't hurt Isabella.... I.... I love her...... but then again.... I loved every girl in here at least once.... it's hard to get a girlfriend but... nobody will ever understand.

"Windstorm!" Isabella blew me back far into the guild house wall.

I black out.....

Why doesn't anyone love me.......

--Sven's POV--

I took this outside, avoiding any further guild house damage as the next battle had progressed.

Rose had tears in her eyes. "I'm so sorry for what I'm about to do...." she sniffled as Merrick sneered.

"Don't. Cause I'm not. Pretend I'm evil. Pretend this is a real fight and go all out!" he grinned as he shot rock-like balls of water at her, she absorbed the water. Wait... how? Only same elements can absorb each other..... but....

"Pillar." A pillar of rock came from under his feet, launching him in the air as Merrick was silent, not fighting back, not using his full potential to fight his girlfriend, which he never intended to harm as he fell, letting himself be defeated.

--Isabella's POV--

"Dusk vs. Norick!" Sven announced.

No.... no..... Dusk will KILL him! I don't want him in that fight, it's suicide! He hasn't lost ONCE  in this tournament. "Norick! Don't!" I beg.

"Izzy, it's fine. I've been in fights before." he said, smiling.

I pulled him aside. "Fine... I don't know if Dusk is a killer... but I need to tell you something....." I sigh, preparing to confess my love.

--Norick's POV--

"What? What is it?" I asked.

"Well.... I... I love you...." she revealed as my facial expression didn't change.

"I love you, too.... but I have to fight...." I say, hand on her shoulder.

"Okay, but.... if you get too hurt.... quit." she requested with puppy dog eyes.
