Fighting Evil

FE: how it was going to end

Here is how the whole book was going to be if I had actually finished it and wrote everything.

Niall, Louis, and Harry were continuing their training of Valentina. Valentina learned combat and self-defense with Harry and Niall, while Louis was more of a guide but he would help train her elementalist powers in secrecy. Thanks to the books Louis gave her, she also learned a lot of history and basic information about her heritage and elementalists in general. Elementalists and their powers were slightly based on European alchemy, with for example noble metals, mainly gold, able to weaken an elementalists powers (based on how alchemists tried to change base metals into noble metals). There were going to be more chapters showing bonding between Perrie (and Zayn) and Valentina, and even Harry and Valentina.

Valentina was extremely skeptical of Niall and Louis, for obvious reasons, but she pretended not to do anything, since she knew that she stood no chance. She also decided to take advantage of the luxuries Louis was giving to her, so that she could master her combat and elemental skills and then kill him one day when he expected it the least for everything he did to her. One day she confronts Louis about why he would even allow Niall to be alive after he poisoned her with "Intus a morte", but Louis explains to her that Niall is brainwashed to forget about his evil intentions, and he tells her that he doesn't want her to go through anymore pain and will protect her. It leaves Valentina conflicted, and she even debates asking how he was even able to brainwash Niall, since it sounds like something cruel. But instead, she asks if her power has been reduced due to the poison. Louis explains that she may have only just been temporarily weakened for a few days because she was actually able to control two elements before the poison tried to kill her, not only fire. He shows her the metal lawn chair she had used to fight against Niall the night he attacked her, which got warped under her touch, proving that she also has the ability to control earth. He tries to train her earth powers but he has difficulty teaching her.

The next day, before her daily training starts with Harry and Niall, she gives a quick apology to Niall, and tells him she feels bad for always being slightly mean to him. He responds by telling her that he's okay with it and he understands that he might be intimidated by her, but also accepts her apology. Then during her training with Louis, he gives her a pretty bracelet made out of metal, and formed by an earth elementalist he knew but isn't with him anymore. Louis explains that the intention is that with metal constantly touching her, she may learn to become better at controlling the earth element. Valentina tells him that she had a necklace with metal on it, a necklace with her parents' wedding rings on it, but tells him she thinks it was taken from her when she was under captivity (she's pretending to be oblivious to the fact that she Louis could have been the one who took it from her), but to her annoyance he tells her that he's sad to hear that and hopes one day she can get it back.

Then there were going to be more chapters of Valentina bonding with her friends (Perrie, Niall, Harry and Zayn) and excluding Louis out whenever he tried to approach her, and even telling him to back off from her, despite everyone else being friendly with him.

Chapter 35-ish shows Zayn becoming brainwashed and receiving lightning powers by someone with blue eyes to kill "her".

One day when Valentina is somewhere out on the grand gardens of Louis' estate just reading in the elementalist chronicles, she's approached by Niall, who eventually leads their conversation about Louis, and why she avoids him so much. She tries to play it off, lying that she has no idea what he's talking about, and that Louis saved her, just like he saved everyone else who lives in the estate. But Niall tells her that he knows she's been acting like she's fine when she really isn't. He knows that she has had nightmares every night and her mental health has only been deteriorating since she was saved. "You're terrified every waking moment of the day, because you don't know when he's going to throw you back into that cell and return back to torturing you. And you're terrified because he seems so kind, but you know it's all a lie, and you think that everyone else is in danger too, but you don't dare say anything. You see his face in your nightmares all the time and his proximity haunts you, but you don't dare say anything."
