(Alex)

 We all woke up in our tent the next morning. We didn’t talk much that night. Everyone just went to sleep. We all just wanted to think to ourselves. When I woke up Meghan and Luke were apparently training. Luke was lighting trees on fire with fireballs.. A little rude don’t you think?… anyway Meghan was trying to put out his fire with water. Izzy unzipped her tent almost the same time I did which isn’t unusual with us. 

~ Do you think we should help them cause it looks like they might form a new lake and start a forest fire, at the same time~ I sign to Izzy

~ No I think they should work it out on their own. Actually they have a good idea, We should go try that.~

~ True but I would rather not catch the whole forest on fire so maybe they should start by the lake.~

~ That’s probably a good idea~ 

We zip up the tents and tell them to go over by the lake. They leave racing to lake. I can see how happy they are, they haven’t smiled this much in forever.

~ So how exactly do we do this?~ I ask Izzy

~Umm I don’t know, what if you try to make a flower and I try to make the wind wiggle it?  

~ Well I guess that sounds okay.~ I say a little nervous

~ Yeah I guess. So how do we get these things working in the first place?~

~Every movie I have ever seen says concentration is key, so we can try that~ I say with a smirk

~ Okay, I remember in the cabin there is a certain way to start and stop what I’m doing, making a fist made it stop. I think~

I close my eyes concentrate on the Daisy I’m trying to make appear. I thought it was going great, that was until I hear a huge snap, and tearing noises. I open my eyes and Izzy screams. Then I smile in amazement.

“You made… a tree? A full grown tree?”

“That’s not what I was aiming for…”

“Well it’s pretty cool anyways”

“Thanks I guess. Now blow the leaves around! Just try not to be an overachiever like me.”

Izzy concentrates, I guess she was thinking about the sound of leaves rustling. I started screaming for her to stop!

“Izzy! Izzy! Stop! That is not wind!” 

She had created a tornado, and it wasn’t stopping!

“Guys run!”

The tornado hits the tree that I had just made and was throwing limbs everywhere. Izzy and I look at each other for a second, then ran and tackled Luke and Meghan into the lake they were standing next to. Just as we hit the water the trunk of the tree is ripped apart, and shreds fly everywhere. We all look up to the top of the lake and see the chunks of tree hitting the top of the water. Since Luke wasn’t using his powers anymore His asthma was coming back.

(Izzy)

If Luke’s asthma was coming back he wasn’t going to be able to hold his breathe much longer. I knew I had to do something. But I just made a tornado I don’t trust myself enough to try and help him by using my powers. Either way he was going to die. Okay, what was I thinking when I made that tornado. I was thinking about how awesome this is going to be. Okay I need something other than happiness, Fear! I was scared to death right now. I place my hands together and just think of everything that could go wrong right now. I could kill us all right now! I picture a beach ball, I don't know why, but thats what I was aiming for I guess. I make a bubble, it was beautiful and majestic. I had finally done something right! I sign to Luke to inhale it, he does exactly that. Meghan and Alex were still fine, and now the tornado stopped. We swim to the surface

 Sensai comes out of no where  and helps pull us out of the water.

 ~ You both are going to hear what I told your brother and sister just a while ago. You need to focus on your powers and don’t try to make it happen when you have hit that point of focus you start to be able to talk and hear just like Luke can chase Meghan through the woods and Meghan can see where she is going. You will also notice that when you are using your powers your eyes glow a specific elemental color. This is because there is so much power going through your body that your eyes start to glow from it all, but don't let anyone see because that could draw Tunay and that is not a good idea. The only way to use your powers correctly is through emotion, as I think Izzy just learned.~

“What emotion?” Meghan asks

 ~You have to find that out on your own. It could be different for all of you. Once you know the basic’s you can begin training under other emotions. What emotion were you under Izzabell?~

 ~...Fear.~

~Training begins after we clean up this tree~
