Elementals: For Made Of Power, The World's Loyalness And Bravery

The Time Is Coming Near...

Kitty's POV-
    My day today is gonna be a heck of a lot busy. Everyone has been a little bit down, some even scarred from the recent events. I especially feel bad for Shelby, she's been going through so much... I know! I did it last year, I can do it again! I went to check the date on the calendar... December 20!? I don't have much time! I quickly began to sweep up the Living Room and straighten things up. Cory walked by the room, and from the look on his... Camera face... (Lol, couldn't figure out what to write!) He was quickly growing suspicious. "What are you even doing? You're never this invested in something..." He said. "Oh, nothing. But promise not to tell Shelby. I'm doing this for everyone, but especially for her. She's been going through a lot recently, and this is my way to help." I replied, silently hanging up mistletoe above the door. "Fine, but what are you..." He said, seeing the mistletoe. "Again?! Fine, but only because she has been feeling down." He said, leaving the room. I have so much more work to do, I want to make this time even more special then last year... Shadow rubbed up against my legs, purring very loudly. Dang, I love her, she's a great familiar, also cause I love cats... Apparently, he had thought about it, because he came back with decorations. "Want some help?" Cory offered. "You know what, sure, I could use some help..." I replied. Then, we both started working on preparing the place for Christmas...

Shelby's POV-
    I was alone in my room, taking a break from all the crazy things that have been happening recently. I put my head in my hands, and sighed. So many weird things have been happening, and I almost feel like they're targeted at me. First Graser, then the corruption, it just feel like everything's going wrong. I've been feeling bad for Cory too ever sense the corruption. He goes under all that pain and pressure, and he hadn't even told anyone about it. He deals with this everyday, and it can crumble people so easily. Yet, he stands up to all of that, without any of us noticing. Someone ended up knocking on my door. "Come in!" I said, with the happiest voice I could muster at the moment. I think anyone here would be able to tell that the voice was fake. "What's wrong Shelby? What're you thinking about?" Cory said, entering the room and crouching down towards me. "Nothing..." I said. "C'mon Shelby, I can tell that you're upset about something." He replied. I can tell that I'm not gonna get very far without admitting the problem. "Well..." (You guys got spoiled on the length today! Love you all, and see ya in the next chapter!)
