Elements of the world

Chapter 4

Though a bridge, it is quite a strange looking one. With tubes -that look like they can be from a water park- going on each side. Huge, bigger then the type you typically see in a normal waterpark. Though with their control of water they could probably make their own with two fingers . Wait, was water the only power they had or was it like earth, fire, water and air thing ?

A flashback plays in my memory. Its allwhen they put me in the tank bubble and I again marveled at the absurdity of it. Me, stuck in a floating tank of water, That seriously is not even a floating tank bubble just a a gollum of water holding me ,victim, unable to escape. I tried to " swim" out and yet I seemed to just stay in place almost like stop motion walking. it was easy to see that Andren was controlling the water so I figured if I damaged the hand maybe he would somehow drop the bubble.

So I went for it. I dived, and bit the hand. Hard. It was so bizarre and yet hilarious I had to chuckle outloud.

I finally make it toward the bridge and then I duck into a crevice inside and under the bridge. The thing wasn't rotting material or anything and it looked man made. I gasped out loud after I discovered a whole lot of mush under there.

"Ew, disgusting"! I exclaimed and grabbed some left over mitten and started cleaning it out. Luckily, the muck wasn't some kind of dog deposit.

Even after cleaning my poor excuse for a home, I jogged to some garbage cans that luckily contained furniture and some deposited clothes. Thank goodness! I thought these people also made their clothes out of water, since that's all their ever talked about. Ever.

I grabbed two couch pillows and a old used skin tight sweatshirt. It seemed most of the clothes people wore we're always skin tight. All probably water-proof.

Looking deeper into the bin I spied a old blanket wedged in between the two garbage cans. it was to deep so I tried pushing myself in when suddenly, I stopped.

What was I doing!?

I was litterly looking in a pile of garbage just to survive. I slid down away from the garbage and landed on a puddle of water. The whole days events just flooded back to my mind. Waking up on the side walk, to meeting Kyle and Andren, to the chase in the town square, to meeting and stumbling into Cecil. Big sobs escaped my throut and I shook vehemently. I just couldn't contain myself. Every time I try to steel myself a new sob just arose and I would litterly fling myself onto the ground to grab something. Anything that can be comforting. The only thing I grab is the sweatshirt, but still I wrap around it like a life buoy.

how can it be that only yesterday I was a" regular" girl, the one who had stood up to the seniors. Wow that accomplishment seems miles away right now and Andrey..... had kissed me, called me babe, The jerk.

I remenber the feeling of waking up on the sidewalk. That feeling was better then what i was feeling right now was better . I mena their i had only felt sick, her 're I felt lost, alone and anguished.

Now ,with no distractions, I'm realizing what is really happening. My parents are looking for me, and I bet my 10 year old sister Charlie is probably either crying or wondering we're the heck I was or even if I was just playing a prank.

Well I can scratch that part out. I'm not in California right now. Im not even on the continent! Somehow, I am in Asia ,with no Asians even here, and were people easily manipulate water like it's no big deal.

They will eventually find out that I'm not one of them.

" Were am I gonna go. Who am I going to trust?!" That last part ended up in a screech . The place is so dismal and dark, I swear I hear my voice echo like they do in the movies.

" Well, so much for saying you had a place to sleep. B$#% you better not lie to me like that or I'll haul your a&$ into that disposal myself." I hear behind me

It's as if the heavens had lifted and this place suddenly didn't seem so dismal any more. I stand up quickly with a thrust. "How did you find me ?"

"The question is how did you end up here?" the last word is calculated almost like she wanted to add something else, but resisted the urge.

"I walked"

"You walked?" Her eyebrow raises upward and I realize how stupid that sounded.

"Why are you here?"

" Well, I guess...........I don't know what .....to do." I almost choke out the next words because my throat is starting to construct with tears.

Silence endorses for a few seconds before she sighs deeply and seems to be like she's stretching her back slightly and then looks me dead in the eye.

"We'll, I better get you outta the cold because it usually gets pretty cold even freezing at night, especially during these parts."

I can't believe what she is saying and for a second I almost miss it.

"You mean-"

"Yea. Come on, my T.O.P is only a little more downwards and then we'll skim over to my apartments."
