The Elementalists: Darkness Rises

Her Fear (Tay's View)

  I walked into her room. I saw her lying on the bed with IV's needles stuck in her arm and stitches all over her body. Her eyes were closed, almost as if she was in a deep sleep.

"Just look at you...bruised and beaten...you didn't ask for this...you were happy...you were shown love...you were heartbroken...you couldn't have known...I should've protected you when I had the chance. That stupid son of a bitch is gonna paid for what she did to you. I'll make sure of it." Tyliah and Naomi walked in along with Octo and Bri. "Oh my god...I didn't know it was that bad. Is she alright?" I sighed, "If I'm gonna be honest, I don't even know."

I walked to her, putting my hand on her arm. "I wish...you'll say something...please..." As I moved my hand off her arm, she suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me back with a tightening grip. "N-no..." My eyes grew wide as everyone stood up and came right next to me. "Andria?... Can you hear me?" I said to her. "T-tay..." She tried to speak but kept stuttering. "Andria...say something." I said, "How do you feel kid," Naomi said to her. Her hand began to twitch. "S-s-scared...f-fear...wanna...m-move...but can'..t..." Her voice was low and broken. I looked at everyone's faces. Bri was the most worried. "Guys...I think we should back off right now." "Save your strength, Andria. Just get some more rest." Tyliah said. Her heart rate began to increase at an extreme rate. "Guys, I'm serious. We need to back up and leave her be." Bri said. "Why do you want to leave her so bad? Do you not care for her?" Tay said. "Guys...look at her veins." I looked at them only to see, they were glowing. Then her body was twitching everywhere.

The lights in the room started blinking on and off. "Guys! What the fuck is going on?!" Bri yelled. Her veins began to glow in different colors. The lights exploded and the glass fell to the ground. A huge gust of wind started blowing into our faces, making it hard to stand in one place. "Her powers are going crazy! What's going on with her?!" I yelled out. "I don't know! But, if we don't do anything about it, she could kill herself!" The wind was getting stronger and then balls of light began flying out of her hand firing at us. "Wait! Tay, use your mind power to calm her down!" Naomi yelled. "But I haven't mastered it yet! It could do something even worse to her!" "Well if you don't, she could kill her own damn self by going insane!" Naomi yelled. I struggled, but I managed to grab a hold of her bed. I placed my hand on her arm, gripping it tight. "Andria! You need to calm down! Tell me what are you so scared of?!" Please answer me!" My eyes began glowing orange. "What's happening?" It felt like I was being teleported somewhere. I opened my eyes, looking around in a dark room. "The hell?" I said. I saw a figure in the distance. The figure had a man shaped body and he wore a bright white hood. "Hey! Wait up!" The figure ran off. I was tempted to walk toward it when an image(or a scene) appeared in front of me. It was a scene where Andria was being bullied. I remember that time. She was so young back then, so innocent. Being punched and kicked in the ground...when I wasn't there.

"That day, you were being bullied...and they jumped you...you were begging them for mercy...just you did with Alex. You were laying on the ground crying. Hoping someone would come to find you. That's what you're afraid of, isn't it? You're afraid of getting hurt?" Another memory pops up in front of me. It was a scene in school when all her friends had turned on her for a mistake she made. No one wanted to be her friend because she was...different. I looked at other memories, seeing her alone and by herself. I found one of her dream memories. It was her...all alone in the dark with no one to help her find her way back home. Another shadowy figure appeared in front of me staring at me as I turned around. But this time, it had a female build. It was a little short so I figured out who it was. "I-I get it now. You're not afraid of getting hurt. All of your dreams, memories, and fears...are about you...being and feeling alone. You think no one likes you. You believe there's only darkness for you, waiting in the afterlife. Is that why you're scared? You're scared of being alone?" The shadowy figure nodded slowly. Its voice was quiet and low but all I could make out was, "Don't want death...must live on...need help...save me..." I held out my hand toward the figure. "No matter what happens, I'm not gonna let you die, nor get hurt ever again. It's me and you...Andria..."

The shadowy figure came out of the shadows and into the light I was shining. It was Andria, smiling and grabbing a hold of my hand. "Cousins?" "Cousins." I hugged her and before I went back , I saw the white figure again. It looked like he was smiling and he waved at me as I appeared back in the healing room. The wind stopped and the light stopped flickering. "Is everyone alright?" Octo said as he stood up everyone onto their feet. I started to breathe heavily. "I...did it..." I stumbled until Bri helped me up. "Easy there...you alright?" I nodded and looked at Andria. "Look, she's smirking. What did you see?" "I saw her memories of being alone in the dark. I told her she wasn't alone anymore. I saved her..." Tyliah smiled at her. "You saved her...she's grateful for what you did for her." Octo walked up, "Now we gotta wait for her to wake up. Anyone want to order pizza?" Naomi smacked her head. "You do know you can just summon a pizza right dumbass" "I'm sorry overgrown devil girl." Naomi started to get angry. "I'm a devil boy, you idiot! Get it right!" Bri calmed them down and summoned a pizza for us to eat. After a few hours passed, everyone had fallen asleep. My eyes got heavy as the sound of the heart monitor put me asleep. Beep...Beep...Beep...
