Elements

Chapter 10

The doors opened on with us having to push on it. Okay, now I felt like Princess Anna. 

I walked in looking around. The place looked beat up; the walls were cracked, the staircase was broken, and the light coming in was blocked. What happened?

I rebuilt the staircase with ice so it was safer to walk on. I entered the main room where I saw a whole case of swords. 

"Grab one," I said firmly to the others. I took out the long, sharp sword that had gems that sparkled on the handle and glowed with my touch.  Rosie's sword was twisted like vines, and the color almost looked green, and Brad's sword has a clear reflection of himself. 

I walked into what looked like the living room. When I looked down, my sword dropped out of my hands. I have never screamed so loudly in my entire life. I feel to the ground next to my sword, crying my eyes out.

Blood was written on the walls saying, "you're next" as Hayden and Ella's bodies were on the floor below it. Dead.

-

I didn't want to leave their side. This was all of my fault. If the stayed with me, then they would've survived. 

I buried their bodies in one hole, holding hands. I put them in front of the castle, putting flowers around their bodies. 

I tore down the castle, melting it with fire. We continued to walk with our new swords. Going somewhere far bought us some time, as we needed those extra days to practice our sword fighting. 

Rosie, Brad, and I walked in silence the entire day. No one said a word and there were no words to say. Brad's head was down the whole time, looking up every so often. Rosie just plucked off the petals of a flower and would regrow them and pluck them off again. What are you supposed to do when you saw the bodies of your best friends?
