The Elementalist

Chapter Seven: This Training is Going to Kick My Ass

The next morning, when I woke up I was confused as to why I was on the couch, and not in my room. But then I rolled over and saw Milo laying next to me and I remembered last night.
The insane pain I felt after touching Ty, as everyone's full powers unlocked.

I smiled as I remembered falling asleep in Milo's arm.
He smiled slightly in his sleep as I moved closer.
I couldn't stop my hand as it reached up and gently traced his face.
I jumped and nearly fell off the couch when he spoke. "Good morning princess." He muttered, his blue eyes twinkling.

"Good morning." I whispered. "Where did everyone else go?" I asked when I noticed we were the only ones in the living room.

"Nani came and had everyone go to their rooms." Milo explained as he played with my hair.

"Why are we still here then?" I asked narrowing my eyes in confusion. "I mean, not that I'm complaining. I'm just curious." I added quickly. "I mean, I've never slept so peacefully. I get really bad nightmares. Well actually I just started having them when we moved here. But I didn't have any last night." I rambled.

"Shh. It's okay. You wouldn't wake up, so she just left us alone. And since you said you didn't want to be alone, I stayed with you." He murmured.

I nodded. "Oh okay. Well thank you." I said smiling. "For staying with me." I added quitely.
"Anytime princess." He whispered, planting a kiss on my forehead.
"Princess?" I asked smiling. "Another nickname?" I asked.

"Everyone else has started calling you Lani. And I need something that only I'll use. And Well, your a Princess aren't you?" He asked smiling. "My princess." He added with a small kiss on my cheek.
"Only yours." I mumbled softly.

I rolled over and quickly grabbed my phone off of the coffee table.
"Oh. It's almost seven. Everyone will be up soon." I frowned moving closer to Milo.
Milo sighed and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I don't want to get out bed." I sighed laying my head on his chest. "I mean, who knows when the next time we can just relax like this will be. Our lives are about to be so busy." I added with pout.

"I'll make time for you." He said gently.
"Promise?" I asked tilting my head up to look at him.
"Promise. I'll always make time for you." He said leaning closer, he nose bumped mine right as the front door slammed opened.

I pouted as Milo sighed and moved away.

"Oh good. Your awake. Go get changed. It's time to train." Ruby said throwing some clothes at Milo and I.

Twenty minutes later, after everyone had woken up and changed into our matching training clothes, we all stood outside in a line. With mom, Beckett and Carlisle standing in front of us.

"Okay. So because there are so many of you, we will be splitting into three teams. You'll train for two hours, and have a thirty minute break between each lesson. I've split you up based on your strengths. Nani will teach you about your elemental magic. Carlisle will be hand to hand combat and Becket will be weapon control." Ruby explained, carrying around a clipboard. "I'll be taking notes about your skill but I'm also training." She added, holding up the clipboard.

"Kailani, Penny, Killian, Fate, Tyson and Milo. You'll be working with Nani first. You are the ones that need the most magic training. Your magic is powerful and unpredictable.
Keanu, Copper, Arielle, Tiana and Oliver. You'll be with Carlisle first. You seem to be the ones with the fastest reflexes, fighting will be your greatest strength.
Keni, Royale, Belle, Toby, Faye and Bellamy. You'll start with Becket. Based on your skills, you'll be more suited with weapons. Then you'll switch in two hours." Ruby explained as she dragged us to stand in front of each adult.
