Elements

Chapter 9

After spending a week up in the tree house, I was ready to kill Brad. Seriously. Every night he would try to sleep in my bed or in my room. Then he would try to use his love powers on Rosie. Sometimes he would complain because he was missing out on his family trip to Santa Barbara. Other days he would complain about not seeing his girlfriend Sophia. I don't think they are going to last very long because Brad is so flirty. 

One morning, I was making some breakfast for the three of us when I heard some footsteps. 

"Here, let's check," I said. We all walked out slowly, being very quiet. I looked through the plants and saw that brown, large head. Robert.

"Go!" I whispered. "Now!"

I ran with as plants filled in my tracks. I heard Robert running quickly, but there was more than one pair of footsteps...he has other friends with him. 

I used the sun to blind some people behind me. I heard yells, so I felt successful. We came across a large lake, no way around it. 

"We have to swim! Let's create a huge wave to carry us and flood the land behind us," I said to her.

"I'm already a fast swimmer. I've been training for stuff like this," Brad said. Rosie and I gave him a look that said, "Brad, you'll die if you swim without our help."

"Alright," Brad mumbled. With all of my strength, I flooded the land while Rosie created a wave to carry us across. After about 10 seconds, we were on the other side of the lake. We continued to run until we saw snow. 

"Snow?" Rosie asked. 

"We must be near Ella!" I exclaimed. We traveled for 2 hours straight, looking for any signs of Ella and Hayden. 

Suddenly, a castle stood in the distance.

"They should've toned it down a bit," Brad said. He must've been jealous about the beauty of it. It took us about 30 minutes to reach the castle. I was so excited and nervous at the same time. What if they thought we were intruders?

I walked up the steps with Brad and Rosie on both sides of me. Brad decided to knock on the door quickly. We were taking a huge risk being together. We were finally with Ella and Hayden again.
