There was no describable way to explain how hard it was to open my eyes. It has the hardest thing I have ever done in my entire life, and I died and came back to life. I looked around the room and white candles were dripping their wax on the posts they were on. The walls were cemented and cracked like the medieval times. I was on a flat stone platform laying flat on my back, looking up to the dark ceiling. It was like a dungeon of some kind, but I wasn't a prisoner, or at least I hope I wasn't.

"Where's the light switch?". I mumbled. I saw a shadow move from the corner of my eye and they stood in front me.

"You're awake, how wonderful". Erica. I sat up and held my head because it was pounding like no other.

"Ugh". I mumbled again.

"You had quite the show Larson, quite the show indeed". She sounded off, and I wasn't in the mood to find out why either.

"Where's Tate?". I asked.

"Him and Mavious are cleaning up the mess that you made". She exaggerated the word you, and I rolled my eyes. Like this my fault. Well it kind of was, but I had no control over this.

"This stuff doesn't just come with a hand book you know". I replied back to her.

"And supernatural creatures cant kill three humans by flashing a light at them and completely draining out their energy sources". She snapped back. Is that what I did?

"Is that why they were all blue?".

"Yes, that is why your victims were blue Larson". She sighed. She came over to me and held a knife up to my face.

"Uh... hi?". I questioned. She took my hand forcefully and yanked me hard towards her. She slit my hand and blood started to leak out of my palm and down my arm. "What the hell!". I yelled.

"I have been alive for centuries Larson, and never in my time have I ever seen something like you in my time. I have to Know what you are, and this is the way to do it". She held a small black bowl up to my hand and let my blood leak down into it. Her eyes glowed her golden color as she swirled the blood around with herbs in the bowl.

"You're a witch". I whispered.

"Why do you think I win so many of my cases?". She smirked. She whispered something under her breath that I couldn't understand, and waved her hand over mine. My cut was completely gone. Just a few drops of left over blood that I wiped off, but not even a scar.

"Wow, you're good". I chuckled.

"Im the best". She smiled. She walked over to a table that had viles and even more candles and set the bowl down. She opened up a box, and came over to me holding a deep sea green vile. "I can't stand having a human in our group, it's unnecessary so with this". She held it up to me and I swear I could see waves crashing on a beach inside. "Give this to Anna for me. With it, she will become an Elemental of water". She dropped it into my hand and smiled. "It's my birthday gift to her".

"Will she change?". I asked.

"She will still have all of her human traits, she will just have abilities. Just like you. But these ones I can control because I know what she will be, you are a different story. Now go on home, your mother is worried sick". My mother? Great! I picked myself up and ran up the stairs that were across the room. I opened up the normal looking door at the top of the stairs and I was in their kitchen now.

"Could this have been the first UFO sighting in this county Major?". I heard on the tv from inside of the living room.

"Do not be silly, Aliens do not exist, next question please".
