I decided to update early :) ..Enjoy it

A loud beeping sound woke me up at six A.M the next morning. I thought about just rolling over and going back to sleep but the worry about my families safety stopped me.

My shower helped wake me up a little but it wasn't nearly enough I wondered if Elijah would stop so i could get some kind of caffeine. I decided to wear my favorite white Breaking Benjamin T-shirt and black jeans as i didn't know what we were actually doing. I yawned all the way to the front door being careful to not make any noise, stopping only to leave a note on the kitchen table so no one would worry about my absence for the day. I sat down on the front steps waiting for Elijah. At 7 Am on the dot i saw a car move slowly up the driveway.

"Hey" I greeted him as i got in the car

"Good Morning"

"So, where are we going?"I ask him as i put on my seat belt

"Somewhere no one will bother us." Is all he says

"Well thanks, that's all cleared up now" I tell him sarcastically

I see the smile grace his lips but he doesnt say anything or look at me. I lean forward and turn on the radio to fill the silence. I stared out the window and noticed after a while, the houses were coming into view further apart until they stopped coming all together. The landscape was lush forest without a soul in sight. Elijah turned down a small dirt road and drove til it ended.

He was out of the car and opening my door before i had my seat belt undone.

"Where are we" I ask him

"Here isn't anywhere, we have a short walk to get where we're going" he tells me

We walk in silence next to each other for fifteen minutes or so before the trees thin out and a clearing comes into view. The sight takes my breath away ,it looks like something out of a dream . It's untouched; not a picnic table or piece of litter in sight and the river that flows through it is crystal clear with wild flowers and a few large boulders on its banks.

"Wow, this is beautiful. "I tell him still looking around

"Yes, it is" He replies walking towards me

"take off your shoes" he orders when he reaches me

"Why?" I ask

"Some witches like most here in Louisiana need the power of their ancestors to do magic , they are very limited as they can not leave the place where their families are buried otherwise their magic will no longer work. You however do not, your magic can be used anywhere, the earth merely helps to feed your magic kind of like an extra kick." he tells me

"Oh"

I kick off my shoes and socks and feel the grass under my naked feet.

"Close your eyes and i want you to imagine a large flower growing next you" he tells me

I cant help the laugh that comes out as i open my eyes " A flower, really?"

He doesn't look amused.

"Sorry" I tell him i can feel my cheeks turning red

I re-close my eyes and do as he asks.

"I don't think this is going to work, i don't feel anything."I tell him sighing after a few minutes

"Open your eyes" He whispers

When i open them Elijah is standing behind me and to my left there is a large sunflower that wasn't there before.

"So that's it , i just have to think of something and bam its there, That seems a bit to easy" I tell him

"No, after you practice and try other items that are not earth based it will be come easier to do , but say for exsample you tried to conjure up a ball , it wouldn't work just yet. The flower was easy for you because your already attuned to nature as you're one of its servants , it wants to help you" He tells me

"Can i try something else?" I ask him

"Of course"

I close my eyes and see what i want to happen . I feel the first sprinkle hit my nose followed by a few more and then the sky cracks open and the rain is coming down in sheets.

My eyes fly open and i can't help but spin around with my arms out stretched.

I notice Elijah has moved under a large tree to shield himself from my storm. I stop spinning and look at him

"Please don't let me stop you" He calls out to me over the rain

I make my way over and come to a stop in front of him.

"Come on Elijah, haven't you ever played in the rain before?"

"Not in a very long time"He tells me

"Do you have anything important in your pockets ?" i ask him

" A few things"He tells me

" Take them out" I tell him

He raises an eyebrow at me. But after a minute does what i asked.

I reach and grab his hand, it swallows mine as i pull him out into the rain. I stop just shy of the river bank and let go. I grin at him as i kick splash him. Now he is just as wet as me.

"Oh, you really shouldn't have done that. Ill give you a five second head start and i wont even use vampire speed" he tells me with and evil smirk

I shriek and take off running but its only a matter of seconds before i feel his arms wrap around me from behind effectively stopping me. I turn around and look up at him. The joking has stopped and we've both become serious.

"I'm going to kiss you now. It would probably be in your best interest to stop me" He whispers

I cant speak at all. I know i'm not going to tell him to stop.

He takes my silence as permission and closes the already small space between us. placing both hands on the sides of my face his lips gently press against mine.

My hands move on there own one coming to rest on his arm and the other holding onto the front of his jacket.

The kiss becomes something else when his tongue slides across my bottom lip asking for entrance. I grant his request , his fingers are in my long wet tresses and lightly pulls on them causing me to let out a light moan.

I break away from him breathing hard and trying to catch my breath.

"Righlyn I...That was ...I shouldn't have done that, I'm sorry" He starts

I don't want to hear what he has to say. A terrifyingly loud crack of thunder fills the air

"Let's go, ill bring you home" he tells me
