Home sweet home

Leo's P.O.V

Ahhhh home at last. I pushed the door open of my blue Nissan skyline, grabbed my bag from the passenger seat and locked my car before making my way to the front door of my house. I put the key in the door and pushed down the handle as I pushed the door forward.

No one was home.

I was used to that. My parents are totally committed to their jobs which frankly doesn't bother me because it means I can practice. I made my way into the kitchen and placed my bag on the breakfast bar, walked over to the fridge and pulled out some coke and then made my way to the garden.

My garden was the best place for me to practise. I had the swimming pool for me to practise my water bending but I could do more than that, I could control fire and air as well but water was the element I felt more comfortable in so I used that the most.

I look at each element differently. The water element I look at in a way of calmness, defensive but can be also be a great offence - it's a good all-rounder to use. To me water is calm and fluid but also when the storm hits the storm hits hard and it doesn't hold back. Air is definitely more defensive than offensive and it's something swift and strong but it can stand it's ground which is why I used air as a defense more than offense but when used correctly it could be used as a good attack mechanism. Fire.....I'm careful with fire. Generally people see it as something destructive but to me it's like life's energy, when I hold a flame in my hand it feels like a tiny heart beat that grows each time the flame grows.

As I walked out onto the patio I removed my black converse, slipped my socks off and tucked them inside the converse, and after doing that I walked straight over to the pool. When I was close enough I stuck one foot out and dipped it in the water, swirling my foot around for a bit. Then I pulled it out and focused on a section of the water. With a twist of my hand three circles of solid jelly formed in the water. One by one I hopped onto the slabs of solid jelly until I was right in the centre of the swimming pool. As soon as I balanced myself on the final slab I disintegrated the other circles of jelly with a flick of my hand.

After positioning myself I started to concentrate on the water again and a pillar started to form. Slowly I raised the water into the air and started moving it, throwing it, turning it into different objects, creating water whips and freezing it solid. I did this for around fourty five minutes practising my speed and my ability in my attacks. The feeling inside of me when I was control the water was just so overwhelming. I couldn't quite explain the magical sensation that flowed through my body every time I used my power all I knew for now was that I was limited; don't ask me how, it was just this feeling inside me that was telling me there were different levels to my power and that I needed to unlock it somehow. The tingling sensation that fed through my body was intense but enjoyable. the sensation made me know that i was in full control. After another ten minutes I dropped the water back into the pool then swung my hand down to the side of me launching me off the solid circle of jelly into the air doing a single flip mid jump and landing flat on my feet.

I sauntered back into the house and went up to my bedroom to shower. After I was showered and dry I started on my home work and then my singing practice for my up coming assessment. After a while I checked my watch to find it was 9:17pm. They still weren't home. Great. Once again my mum and dad had failed to tell me that they were going to be late. I rolled my eyes at the thought of their pathetic excuses in the morning, that's if they would even remember...they are useless.

After I mentally bitch slapped them with my thoughts, I walked down the stairs, picked up the house phone and sat down in the lounge. As I started pressing the numbers down my mobile started to ring so I pulled it out if my pocket and found it was my friend Charlotte calling me.

"Heya sexy, you alright?" I said whilst pulling the phone up to my ear.

"Yeah I'm alright you?" She replied. "Just got back from work and I'm now craving Chinese food."

I chuckled down the phone to her. "Yeah I'm alright. Parents forgot again as usual so they are probably not coming home tonight, but as you mention Chinese food I was actually just about to order some so why don't you make your way over, I'll order the food and we can watch films?"

"Aw man, sounds awesome," she shouted happily. "Give me half hour and I'll be there."

"Yeah no problem, it will take around half hour for the food to get here. See you then."

"See you soon Leoooo." and with that she hung up and I quickly dialled the number for the take away.

Time went by as I got out all the DVDs and dished up the food. All of a sudden I heard the bell go and ran to answer it as I knew Charlotte would be there. I unlocked the door, pulled it open and found Charlotte standing there with a massive smile on her face.

"Perfect timing," I chimed, "just finished dishing up all the food."

"Sweet." She leant in to hug me and I followed suit, wrapping my arms around her tightly. "Oh I have apple loops and some other stuff."

"You went to the Americandy again didn't you?" I smiled at her.

"Haha yeah before work I stormed in, wasn't in the best of moods this morning haha."

"Why not?" I said whilst pulling her in the direction of the kitchen.

"Meh boy troubles, nothing to worry about." She smiled at me and then ditched me as soon as she saw the food. "Oh my life that smells lush!!!"

"I know right, come on grab a dish and let's go watch a film." The two of us grabbed our dishes and ran into the lounge.

I turned the sky box on and went into the saved menu and selected Burlesque.

Charlotte rolled her eyes "Trust you."

"Shut up, you love dancing to the songs in this film." I poked my tongue out at her.

She smiled "True."

After the film we blasted some music and stayed up 'til about three AM, dancing our arses off until we finally crashed out on the sofas.

Sleep was bit restless for me. It was like I could feel another source of magic in the area and it wasn't a good feeling, it was giving me a bad vibe and I just couldn't shake it.
