"I-I um... I... You talk."
The cat sighed and said "Yes. I talk. I am Destiny Faith, Spirit Familiar. I can be summoned when needed and you still haven't explained why you are here." Destiny walked up to my face and stared into my eyes.
"To heal?" I lifted up the sheets to see my side. Pulling up the shirt, I saw bandages. I pulled the blanket to the side and unwrapped the bandaging. "I'm healed... So I'm not here to heal." I tried to get out of the bed but the IV stopped me again. I raised an eyebrow at Angi indicating I wanted it out. She walked over to me and while glaring at me, reluctantly took out the IV. She set it to the side and walked back to her chair.
"Angel Grace! Why are you here? You should be outside with the others!"
"Others?" The others from the van?
"Want to meet them?" asked Angi.
I pulled the cover up and covered most of my body. I nodded my head shyly.
"Hey guys! She's awake!" she yelled over her shoulder.
Three women walked into the room and stood at the end of the bed.
"Mornin' sleepy. Ya made us all worry and stuff." said the woman with the deep green hair and lime green eyes. She was wearing a cowboy hat, short shorts, ankle boots, and a shirt that was tied just underneath her breasts. "Demetria May's the name by the way. Call me Demi. I represent Earth. Nice ta meet cha!" She took off her hat and did a sort of bow thing.
"Nice to meet you too." She had a really strong Texan accent. I looked at the next girl.
"My names Aria Mystique. I represent Air. I'm really glad that you're awake; we were all really worried." She seemed like a shy girl. She was wearing a Victorian style dress that went down to her mid-thigh and ballet flats.
"Thanks for helping me back in the van." I smiled at her.
She blushed and said "N-not a problem. I hope you get better soon."
"Better? I'm already healed." I lifted up the covers and showed Aria. She came round to my side of the bed and inspected that area.
"She really is healed. No one other than the Water should be able to do this."
"But there already is a Water. How can she possibly be here? I thought we were mistaken when we first found her."
"You weren't. Hence why I am here." said Destiny. She seemed to be kind of like the boss of the group.
"Do you work for the white dragon?" I blurted.
All five of them stared at me with mouths wide open.
"What?" I asked.
"Did you see him?"
"Yeah. What's wrong with that?"
"Nothing. It just means you have an important role to play in the future." said the one with the red hair. "Serafina McKenzie. Fire. 600 years old."
"600?" She looked no older than 20. She was wearing a t-shirt that was cut off just under her breasts, short shorts, and ankle boots and fishnet gloves.
"Who are you? Isn't it common courtesy these days to state your name to your rescuers?"
I opened my mouth to answer.
"Sarah. Finally, I was able to contact you."
I looked around to room. No one had opened their mouth to speak. It must be all in my head again.
"Hey, you alright?" asked Angi.
"Shh!" I got out of the bed and walked out of the door.
"You've been unconscious for a while. Can you get up?"
"Yes. Why?"
"Meet me in the Training Room immediately. I have something to talk to you about."
I looked at Angi and asked "Where's the Training Room?"
She gave me a weird look. "Why would you want to go there? You just-" She looked at the others and said "Anat's here."
"Really? She hasn't been here for decades..."
All of the people in the room turned to look at me.
"C'mon honey; we need to get you to the Training Room immediately." said Demi May, taking my hand and leading me out of the room.
"Who's Anat?" I said following Demi May.
"She's a Familiar like Destiny, but for Water. And she's the closest to the Light Dragon."
My eyes opened wider. "What would she want to tell me?"
"I have no idea. We can only hear our own Familiar's thoughts but we can hear them when the talk out loud."
"Thank Dragon for that or otherwise it would mean that the Elemental was too powerful."
"What did you say?" I turned back to look at Destiny.
"I didn't say anything."
"Yeah you did. You said 'Thank Dragon for that or otherwise it would mean that the Elemental was too powerful'"
"I thought that..."
I felt my eyebrows knitting together.
"We'll talk about it after she sees Anat. This is more urgent than anything else." said Aria.
Demi tugged on my hand and I followed after her. "Demi, what will happen once I walk in there?"
"Nothing too life threatenin'"
"Oh..." We stopped outside some double doors.
"Once you go in there, there is no turning back. Either you accept this way of life or you die. Which do you pick?" asked Angel as she stood beside the door.
"I choose to live." And the doors were pulled open and I stepped into my future, as unclear as it was.
