Hey,
Hope you love this first chapter as I worked really hard on it!
Note: The POV's will change in this first chapter, so don't get confused!

Felix's POV
"Attack!" Screams Andy as we all run forward through the Bremin forest.
"No, wait." Jake stops us. "It's looser dad!"
"Are you sure?" Asks Sam.
"Yeah," Jake replies, "Look at the clothes he's wearing! It's totally looser dad!"
"We're home!" Andy exclaims. We all run to them in disbelief. Jake grabs his dad in a tight embrace, and Andy hugs his dad.
"I'm sorry," I say to Sam. "For putting you through all this."
"Hey, don't worry dude," he grins, "We're home! Freak." We laugh.
"You can call me freak." I say.
"Don't worry," he punches my shoulder joke-fully. "It's just the beginning!"
"Sam?" "Felix?" My dad emerges from the forest along with Sam's dad. "Dad!" We both yell at once and we run to them.
After a while of mixed emotions, we each go back home to see our families. While I'm in the car, I start to wonder. What will my mum say to me? What will Oscars reaction be? Will Ellen still be the same? Will they be glad to see me?
We pull up in the driveway of our house. My mum runs up to me and hugs me tight, I hug her back. We go into the house, I have a shower and change into black jeans, a black and white top, and the shoes I was wearing before. I go out to the veranda, where dad is trying to work the BBQ and Oscar is sitting at the table in his wheelchair. Ellen is sitting at the other end of the table, mum is in the kitchen making a salad. I sit down.
"So, what did you eat?" Asks Oscar. "Where did you sleep?"
"Can I tell you tomorrow?" I ask. "I'm a bit tired right now."
"Sure," he says. "As long as you don't leave anything out."
"I promise, I'll tell you everything." I smile, he nods.
Ellen taps me on the shoulder. "Hey! I can't believe you dumped me for a nerd, a jock, and a moron!"
"Yeah," I say. "I can't believe I let myself. But I missed you."
"I missed you too." She smiles.
"No, I really missed you." I say.
Her smile disappears as her face turns to one of realisation. She is about to say something but my mum comes out of the kitchen, placing a huge bowl of salad on the table. "Here you go." She says rather pleased with herself. "You must be starved!" "Yeah." I reply.
My dad comes to the table and dumps the lighter down in front of me. "Well, that's broken." He walks inside. "Oh, let me." I say, picking it up and walking to the BBQ. But before I reach it, a huge flame illuminates from the BBQ. Curious, and shocked, I bring the lighter up and down, up and down. The flames respond to my every movement. I smile in amazement. This is by far the best day ever.

Andy's POV
I sit at the round dinner table in my NiNi's Chinese restraunt. My family is already sitting at the table, when I sit down, we begin to eat.
"Now you realise how much you miss your grandmothers cooking." Says NiNi.
"Not much." I say, grabbing the plate of chickens feet.
"They are all talking about you at school." Smiles my sister Viv. "Really?" I ask. She nods, "What has the nerd done now." She giggles.
"What's wrong, mum?" I ask, she is almost crying and my dad has his arm comfortingly around her.
"We found the food we packed for you, on the trail, and then your backpack...I thought- I thought..." She tries to calm herself down.
My dad comforts her. "Now, now, it's all over. Everything is fine, we're all okay." She nods.
My NiNi turns to me, "Haya, dirty hands, you wash clean."
"Yes NiNi." I stand up and go to the kitchen. I take the Elemental Talisman out of my pocket. Is it really magic? Does it really work? All this is making my head spin, so I put it back in my pocket. I open the tap and wash my hands. After, as I am about to go back, the tap opens up again by itself and sprays me with a continues gush of water. What the? I say to myself. I put my hands in front of me and the water stops. I look at my hands in disbelief. Could it be? No. I shake the thought from my mind and go change my soaking wet clothes.

Sam's POV
I tell my family the whole story of what happened. They don't believe me of course, mum says it was a pretty wild dream. I sit down next to Mia, I missed her so very much, I know I should've treated her better, how she deserved to be treated. I promised myself that after lunch, I'd take her down to the skate park and teach her how to skate. It was usually deserted on a Saturday afternoon, so she wouldn't have any competition.
"Hey, Sam." Mia says to me. "Could I talk to in private after?" She looked concerned.
"Sure babe." I say. "Is everything ok?" Her eyes meet mine for a moment, then they look away.
"Can someone help me with this, please?" My dad calls from the kitchen. Mia gives me a look of sadness, then gets up and goes to help my dad. What was that all about? I ask myself. I keep trying to forget that look on Mia's face, but every time I manage it, the thoughts come creeping back, worse than before. Could this be it? Is she dumping me?
I turn around. "Ah-ah-ah-chooooooooooo!" I sneeze, and something weird happens. The clothesline goes swirling around and around like a hurricane. Wow. I think to myself, did I do that? But it's not possible... What the?

Jake's POV
"I'm so, so, so, so, so, so glad to have you back!" My mum hugs me at the edge of the river bank.
"How glad, mum?" I lag has we walk up the grassy hill to where mum has prepared a picnic table.
"I'm so, so, so glad," she smiles. "That... I made your favorite!"
"Awesome!" We sit down and start to eat.
"Mm," says mum with her mouth full of food, "Your teacher, Mr. Bates, came round to see me a couple of times while you where away. He seems like a lovely man."
"Mr. Bates?" I ask, why was my mum hanging round Mr. Bates?
"Oh!" Mum gets up. "Forgot the mayo!" I'm left sitting there in confusion and disgust.
"Bates?!" I ask myself furiously. No way! The table starts to shake and I jump up. What on earth is happening? It's like a mini earthquake shaking in the same amount of rage as my anger, wait, my anger. Is that what caused it? Something is happening, and I can't explain it. But I think I know who else might be having strange things happen to them. So the next day, I have lunch, go see a few mates, and run to Sam's house.
