The Missing Irene | Bk.1

The River PT. 3

Isabell stepped into the warmed water of the river. "So you guys travel as a group?"

Bella giggles, "No, we are just out for the day, our town isn't too far from here."

Isabell nods as she takes in what Bella just said. She starts to rub away all the dirt and grim that had clung to her body. "I see, then you are all friends?"

"Ya we are, ever since we were little. We kinda just stuck with each other." Bella replies, pack what is left of the dirty clothing, and sending it away with her magic,

"Ya then Bella started dating Max, they were soo cute!" Wind says excitedly.

"Ya, well lets not forget the day AJ and Ryder started dating. They were really awkward and then Ryder kissed her and I swear she turned at least 50 shades of red." Jee giggles.

"HEY! You're not getting off the hook either Jee! What's with you and Eren, Huh? You two have been acting all lovey dovey for the last few weeks. Are you two a couple?" AJ says as she gets up in her friends face.

Jee smacks her friends face back and turns red. "No I told you that we are just friends! Its not like I have feeling for him or anything." The neko says crossing her arms and turning away.

"Real smooth Jee" Bella says grinning at her friend and the rest, including Isabell, giggle away.

"You should be talking Bella! That fall was very elegant, your epic crash right into Max's arms." Jee spats back.

Bella sticks her tongue out at her friend, then they all begin to giggle. Isabell has by now stepped out of the water and started drying off by the fire. Bella hands her, her cleaned and dried clothing. "Here, I don't have any other clothing on me right now, so I washed and dried yours."

Isabell smiles at her new friend. "Thank you so very much."

Bella smiles back, "No problem. We should probably get the boys over here so they can clean up."

Bella pulls a hand gun from the holster on her hip. "REALLY BELLA! YOU SERIOUSLY CAN'T GO WITHOUT A WEAPON CAN YOU?!" her sister shouts as the rest giggle once again.

Bella rolls her eyes. "Cover your ears everyone." She raises the gun above her head covering her ears with her other hand and her arm as the rest cover theirs.

BAAANNGG

"Shots fired." Wind sings out. Within seconds the sound of elephants could be heard. The boys all make it into the clearing as Max runs to Bella, who has returned her gun to its holster on her hip, and hugs her. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?" he says examining her.

"I'm fine just needed get you boys over here, it's your turn to bathe." Bella replies.

The boys all sweat drop. "REALLY BELLY YOU SCARED US HALF TO DEATH. WE THOUGHT YOU GUYS WERE IN TROUBLE!!" Hunter yells at her.

Bella smiles warmly at them, "Yup what I did was totally necessary. I didn't want to yell for you weirdos."

"Oh. My. Irene. I can't." River says as he dramatically falls to the ground.

Wind bends down over her 'dead' boyfriend and boops his nose. "Don't die on me now. I kinda need you."

River opens his eyes, "What do you need me for, my princess?"

"I need you to bathe so we can keep going." She says smiling at him.

River flops back onto his back and groans. "Really, I was hoping I could give ya' a kiss, but no. I see how It is."

Bella walks over to the man on the ground and whispers a few words to no one in particular. Suddenly, tiny ice chucks fall onto River as he screams out. "AHAHAH!" he jumps up from his spot on the ground. "God damnit Bella!" Bella lets out a victorious smile as River was now standing. Wind reaches over and high-fives her sister, sharing the same smirk.

"Hey River, check if the water is cold, would ya." Hunter says kicking the man into the water.

River lets out a scream once more and quickly climbs out of the river. "Really Hunter? Do you want to fight me?" River says as he summons water to his hands.

"OH ya, bring it on you soggy dog." Hunter says engulfing his hands with flames. "I'm all fired up now!"

Wind goes to stop the boys, but Bella grabs her back, as all the friends gather in a small huddle. "My money is on Hunter." She says

Wind sweat drops. "This is sad, but so is mine."

"HEY I HEARD THAT!" River yells at her.

"River if you win, I'll give you that kiss you have been looking for." Wind says

"Ohoho. Alright Hunter, lets go." River says going to charge him.

Hunter stick his flame covered fist right to River's gut knocking him to the ground and his air out of him.

River wheezes, "I guess no kiss then Wind?"

"Not a chance." Wind says as the all begin to laugh
