-Chris-

I hold Chelsea up after she faints. I give her a few minutes before waking her up myself.

"Chels, wake up." I say.

She soon comes to and looks at me.

We soon wak back inside, holding hands.

I walk to English class with Kyra and she and I sit in the back.

"Everything okay?" She asks in a whisper.

I nod then Violet walks in with Jordan and they sit near us.

Class soon begins after all the students walk in.

When the school day ends later, I'm sitting in the detention room. I do some homework and finish within the first few minutes. After that, I walk to one of the computers and start searching through the town's history to try and find out more about Ellie when I come across something from a long time ago.

"Local Woman Becomes Monster." I mutter as I read. "Eleanor Stevens, Jasper's most renowned supernatural expert, revealed keen knowledge a legend of an evil elemental spirit, but when she was ridiculed, she was driven mad and then showed town she had become said spirit and nearly destroyed the town until others interested in the supernatural used a method that locked her in a cave in the woods." I read.

"So Ellie wasn't always known as Elemental... She was once human..." I think to myself, then feel bad for her.

When my time in detention is up, I pull out my phone and send out a mass text to Alaric, Chelsea, Jordan, Violet, Kyra, Sapphire, and Scarlett.

"Meet me at Starbucks. I found out something interesting." I send them.

I head to my bike then head to Starbucks.

When I arrive, I see Violet's van parking and she and Jordan step out with Chelsea. Alaric soon arrives with Kyra, Sapphire, and Scarlett.

We head inside, and walk to the register. "I'll buy, y'all." I say.

They try to argue, but one look from me stops them.

"Welcome to Starbucks. What can I get you guys?" The barista asks.

"Grande vanilla bean frappuccino." I say.

"Grande iced coffee." Chelsea says.

"Grande Latte." Jordan and Violet say.

"Grande Espresso." Kyra, Sapphire, and Scarlett say.

"Just a grande coffee." Alaric says.

"Okay." The barista says. "And the name for the order?" She asks.

"Rudy." I say.

Once told the total, I use my card and pay for the order.

After we get a table and get our order, Alaric puts cream in his coffee while the rest of us get straws and have our beverages ready.

"What's up?" Kyra asks.

"During detention, after I finished my homework, I decided to do some research on Ellie and found something interesting." I say.

"What did you find?" Chelsea asks.

"Does the name Eleanor Stevens sound familiar?" I ask.

"Yeah. Back in the 1880's, she was the town's best expert on the supernatural." Sapphire says.

"I found a newspaper article about her and you'll never guess what they used for the page one photo." I say.

"What did they use?" Violet asks.

"A split picture of Eleanor herself... and Elemental." I say.

"That freak of nature... was human?" Scarlett asks.

I nod. "According to the article, she found a legend of an elemental spirit and it took her as its host. The ridicule she faced for pursuing the legend drove her insane. She nearly destroyed the town before she was sealed away in that cave everyone at this table, except Violet, found ten years ago." I say.

"That would explain why she's doing all she's doing." Violet says and we all look at her. "Well, think about it. She was bullied. She must think you guys are being bullied too."

"Still, she can't just... kill anyone she perceives to be a threat to to us." Jordan reasons.

"And after me making her mad, who knows what she'll do now?" I ask.

After talking about lighter things, we leave Starbucks and head to our houses.

When I get home, I see my mom and Shadow look at me. "Honey, why's Shadow here?" She asks.

"Oh, right. Brad asked me to watch him while he's out of town for a couple months." I say.

She nods. "Okay, hon. Now, what about that bat?" She asks.

"Fang? I took her in. She was part of a colony that attacked Kai and Amanda. Amanda hit her so I brought her here to nurse her back to health. I took her to Dr. Johnson the other day and he said nothing was broken and she'd be okay. She's not left my side since." I explain.

She slowly nods again. "So long as you don't bring a snake into the house, we won't have a problem." She says.

I nod. "I'm going to the football game tonight." I say.

"No, you're not." My dad says, walking downstairs.

I look at him angrily. "Just go back to Jacksonville and leave me alone!" I say then march past him to change.

I sigh when I'm in my room.

"For the love of God, Frank! He's not a little kid!" Mom says.

"He's acting like one, though!" Dad says.

I soon open the door and let Shadow in. I close the door and he looks scared. "It's okay, bud. They've always been like that." I tell him. He licks my face once. I smile then start to change.

"I'm not letting my son get himself killed!" Dad shouts.

"He's my son, too! If you really cared about him, you wouldn't have left! So just get out!" Mom says.

"FINE!" He shouts again then leaves.

Shadow whimpers and I pet him after changing into school themed clothes.. "It's okay, buddy." I say to him then open the door for him and he and I walk downstairs.

"Have fun, son." Mom says.

"I will." I say. "Shadow's food and water bowl are in my room." I add then grab my car keys and head to my car, a Chevy Camaro. I get in the car then start the engine and then drive to school.

When I get to the stadium, I buy a ticket then head in. I spot my friends in the front row of the bleachers and walk to them.

"Everything okay?" Kyra asks.

"If by okay, you mean my dad just tried to be the same controlling douche bag he is, then yeah, everything's a-okay." I reply then explain what happened before came here.

"Sorry, man." Rick says.

I shrug.

-Chelsea-

As the game goes on, I stand next to Violet and smile when I see Chris then I wave to him.

He smiles and waves back.

When we get to halftime, Violet and I lead the rest of the squad to the middle of the field and we do a routine. When we finish it, we clear the field and the marching band do their halftime show.

The game soon enters the fourth quarter when something weird happens. A multi-colored portal that matches Ellie's colors opens up and snakes fall through it, covering the entire football field. The campus police help evacuate everyone from the field. Violet and I meet up with the others.

"You guys thinking what I'm thinking?" Sapphire asks.

"Ellie." I say.

That's chapter ten. Review and I'll post more chapters.
