Greetings readers! This may be the last chapter for a while since I leave tomorrow for vacation and don't know if I can write another today. Sorry to tell you that. Anyways here is the next chapter. I hope you enjoy it. Please remember to review afterwards for me because I love reading the reviews for this. Enjoy!
"Who are you two?" Ryker asked us as I extinguished my flaming hand.
"My name is Valora and this is Zak." I said as Ryker and Zak shook hands with their hands on fire.
"What are you two siblings or boyfriend and girlfriend?" Ryker asked which made me cringe.
"No! I'm Zak's guardian so to say." I said as I showed him my Kur protector marking.
"Where did you get that marking? I have the same one on my wrist." Ryker said showing me his Kur protector marking. I smiled slightly to him.
"Ryker, do you wonder why you have the ability to control fire?" I questioned while Zak just stayed silent.
"Well yeah. I'm an orphan because of that." Ryker said which made me cringe again. "People think I'm a freak because of the fact that I can control flame." Ryker said as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"Ryker, have you ever heard of Kur?" I asked as I noticed Zak was distant.
"Yeah actually I heard about it recently. Why?" Ryker asked as I kept my eyes locked on his.
"Ryker you are one of the legendary five. A group of people who are destined to protect Kur or Zak here." I said as I put a hand on Zak's shoulder.
"What?" Ryker asked obviously confused. I explained to him about Kur and the legendary five. It took a while for it all to sink in though. "Wait so if you and Zak are Kishar and Kur then who was I?" Ryker asked obviously interested now.
"Djinn the controller of fire." I said as Zak sat down on the ground.
"Wait so are there others who can control water and the other elements?" Ryker asked as we started to walk down from the volcano.
"Yes there are three others besides us. We have to find them." Zak said finally speaking.
"And the distant Kur speaks finally." I said as I slapped him on the back. He stumbled a little but caught his balance.
"So you two want me to come with you then?" Ryker asked as we continued to walk down from the volcano summit.
"Yeah actually we need you to come." I said as I created a ball of fire in my hand and started to play with it. Ryker snatched it from my hand.
"Alright but where are the others then?" Ryker asked as he tossed the ball high in the air.
"We don't know yet. I have sort of a clue for the Air one but Earth I have no idea. Water might be where the weather is very wet." I explained as I snatched the ball back again. "So are you in or not?" I asked as I crushed the flame ball in my hand.
"I'm in of course. I am always looking for a good adventure." Ryker said with a grin.
"Alright then come on." I said as I created a cloud. Zak and I got on and I helped Ryker up onto it. I made the cloud dense enough for him to be able to stay on it.
"Hey do you have any other powers besides the ability to bend the elements?" Ryker asked me as I controlled the cloud to take us back to the hotel.
"Yeah I can morph my body into any animal or person. Example." I said before I turned into a hawk. "See." I said as I turned back. "Why do you have another power?" I asked remembering Bodolf said they each had an element and then a secondary power.
"Yeah I have telepathy." Ryker said as I noticed Zak was still out of it. I nudged him to try and get him to come back to reality but it didn't. Ryker and I talked the whole way back to the hotel. We landed on our balcony and went in.
"Alright we're going to stay here for a few more days since this hotel cost so much." I said as Ryker sat down on the couch.
"I know this place is expensive. All of the rich snobby tourists stay here." Ryker said with annoyance in his tone.
"Yeah well I wanted to treat Zak to a good visit here. He was really upset about leaving his family." I said as Zak laid down in his bed.
"Hmm that's why I'm glad I don't have one. Less stress on me since I don't have to worry about anyone but myself." Ryker said as he crossed his arms behind his head.
"Yeah I know. Just worry about how you are going to live and eat and that's it." I said as I laid down on my bed. I created a water ball in my hand so that the smoke detectors wouldn't go off. I was pushing it last night by trying.
Zak
We all just hung out in Hawaii then for a few days getting to know Ryker better. Unfortunately the dreams about me and Val kept getting worse. We checked out early morning on our last day and headed out to where we had first landed. Val made a larger cloud for all of us and we all got on. "Alright then where to next?" Ryker asked Val. Val and Ryker have been spending a lot of time together for the last few days. Its really been getting on my nerves.
"Mt. Washington summit. The fastest wind current ever was there so maybe our Air person is there too." Val said as I leaned back in my spot.
"Hopefully your right." I said as Val handed me a soda from the cooler she and Ryker bought for us to use for our trip.
"I have a strong feeling I'm right and I had that same feeling about finding Ryker here remember." Val said as she started to control the cloud.
"Whatever." I said as I looked out the side of the cloud.
"Are you always so void of emotions?" Ryker asked as I looked back in.
"I'm tired and not feeling good." I said as my eyes trailed to Val while she played with a ball of blue flame.
"Then just lay back and sleep. It will be a while before we get to Mt. Washington." Val said as she got rid of her flame.
"Are we staying at a hotel again?" I asked as Val made a cloud blanket for me again.
"If there is one close to the mountain then maybe." Val said as I laid back.
"You'll probably try and show off again by getting a really good room and all that." I said as I tried to go to sleep.
"Go to sleep Zak." Val said simply.
"Alright." I said as I rolled over onto my side so I was facing away from the two. I fell asleep quickly and the dreams began again.
Val
"Zak seems to be upset about something." Ryker said to me as I pulled out a deck of cards for us to play cheat. Zak has been asleep for about twenty minutes now.
"Probably just about his leaving his parents again." I said as I dealt the cards out.
"Actually its something else but I wont tell you yet." Ryker said as I finished dealing the cards. I raised an eyebrow at him.
"You used your telepathy on him didn't you?" I questioned with a smile.
"Maybe." Ryker said as he flashed me a grin.
"Alright then what's wrong with him?" I questioned as he put down a few cards.
"I'm not going to tell you yet. Its kind of a personal thing." Ryker said which I just gave up and we continued playing our game a little longer. We played the whole way to Mt. Washington.
"He sleeps too much." I said as I put away the cards.
"You gonna wake him up or let him sleep?" Ryker asked as I landed the cloud. I got a cold breeze the moment we landed.
"Wake him up because I don't think it would be best to leave him here while we go find the Air person." I said as I shook Zak. He woke with a jolt. "Every time you wake up, you jump." I said as he sat up.
"Are we at Mt. Washington?" Zak asked still half asleep.
"Yeah we're at the summit actually." I said as I shivered from the cold.
"God damn it is cold here!" Ryker yelled as he got out of the cloud.
"You are from Hawaii so of course its cold to you." I said as Zak got up and got off the cloud. I jumped off next and the cloud vanished. We started to walk for the observatory.
"Alright then where is our wind person?" Ryker asked through his shivering.
"I don't know. Maybe inside." I said as I felt a sharp gust of wind. It knocked Ryker and Zak over and they landed head first in the snow. "Ha ha! I love this mountain now!" I said still laughing as they tried to get up.
"Why didn't you fall?" Ryker asked as he get his head out of the snow. I helped Zak out quickly before he got frostbitten.
"Because I changed my bodies density so that it wouldn't knock me over." I said as Zak shook snow out of his hair.
"Cheater." Zak said with a scowl. I chuckled and then another gust came knocking him down again.
"I have a feeling that this isn't normal wind." I said as I created a cloud beneath my feat to try and see if I could lure out the Air person.
"And you are right." A girl said as she came up behind me. She had white spiky hair and sky blue eyes. She was very slim and her skin was very pale. "My name is Camille. What are you all doing up here and how are you floating on a cloud like that?" Camille asked as she eyed my cloud.
"Camille? Do you believe that you are the only one with the ability to control air?" I questioned her with a smile.
"How did you know that I can control air?" Camille asked me.
"Because I'm able to control air, water, fire and earth." I said as I created a mini tornado in my hand.
Zak
Val and Camille just talked for a while while I just drifted off into my own little world. I found my eyes trailing up and down Val's body and I quickly turned away. I am not falling for Val! "Hey Zak come here." Ryker said as he grabbed my arm and dragged me away from Camille and Val.
"What?" I asked as he pulled me behind the observatory.
"You're rejecting your feelings for Val aren't you?" Ryker asked which I widened my eyes at this.
"How did you..." Ryker cut me off.
"I have telepathy Zak. I've known since the moment I met you." Ryker said before I collapsed against the building.
"Dude please don't tell her." I said as I looked down at the ground. "I don't know how I feel actually. I keep dreaming about us being together as a couple every time I go to sleep." I said still looking at the ground.
"Yeah I know. Every time you wake up you pretty much jump a foot in the air." Ryker said as he stood next to me.
"Wait do you know how she feels about me?" I asked as I looked up from the ground.
"Why don't you just sit down with her and talk about it. I don't know how she feels about you because she never really thinks about that sort of thing." Ryker suggested which I scoffed at.
"You obviously haven't seen the mean side of Val." I said as I folded my arms across my chest.
"Come on boys we're going." Val called over to us. Ryker and I hurried back over to Val and Camille and the cloud was already ready to go.
"Alright where to next?" I asked as I got onto the cloud.
"Well we need to go find the other two. Our water person is next on the list." Val said as she looked to Camille. "Would you like to do the honor of finding her?" Val asked with a smile at Camille.
"How would she know where our water person is?" Ryker asked as he sat down next to me.
"I have remote viewing powers so I can find the other two with my mind." Camille said as I noticed she was eying me.
"Cool then look up our water person." Ryker said as I looked over at Val.
"Alright." Camille said as she closed her eyes. "I see Mount Wai-'ale-'ale in Kauai. The Hawaiian Islands." Camille said which immediately after Val slammed her head into the bottom of the cloud.
"You fucking have to be kidding me. We were just at Hawaii!" Val said angrily. I chuckled lightly at her reaction to the news. She looks kind of hot when shes angry actually. Ah! I'm not falling for her!
"It is the wettest place on Earth so go figure." Ryker said which got a glare from Val.
"Alright then its back to Hawaii." Val said still obviously angry. She started controlling the cloud to take us back to Hawaii. "This is just bullshit though. We were just there for a few days." Val muttered as my eyes trailed from her eyes to her chest. I quickly looked away.
Val
This is just fucking bullshit! We were just at Hawaii! Now we have to go back to Kauai. We should have checked all the islands when we were there just in case. I leaned back in my spot and then noticed Zak's face was bright red. "Are you sick still?" I questioned him as Camille controlled the cloud.
"Uh no I'm just hot." Zak said as he laid back against the edge of the cloud.
"Its only in the lower fifties. How are you hot?" I questioned which I noticed then that he seemed to be getting nervous.
"Hey stop questioning him Valora. If he is hot then he's hot." Ryker said which got me to tilt my head to the side since he was standing up for Zak so quickly.
"Wow your protector instincts came in fast." I said as I created a ball of flame and played with it for a little while.
"Val when are we going to train again?" Zak asked me a little while later.
"When we land." I said simply. Soon I have to start teaching him water though. He's almost done with fire.
"Alright." Zak said as he turned away from me. What is up with him lately? I just sat back and rested for a while until Zak moved over next to me.
"What's up?" I asked as he looked down at the floor.
"Val when we land can we talk in private?" Zak asked still looking at the ground.
"About what?" I asked as I noticed Ryker and Camille were trying to ignore our conversation.
"I'll tell you when we land." Zak said still not looking at me.
"Why wont you look at me?" I asked as I noticed his face was red again.
"I'll explain later." Zak said as he moved away from me again. What is up with him?
Zak
God I hope that this goes right. If it doesn't I'm going to light Ryker on fire for telling me to. Val fell asleep and I just laid back and relaxed for a little bit. Ryker and Camille talked with each other while I just wondered what I was going to say to Val. "Zak are you still wondering what your going to say to Val?" Ryker asked me as I snapped back to reality.
"What do you think." I said simply.
"Just tell her you like her and hope she feels the same." Camille said as I looked down at the floor again. I clasped my hands together from being nervous. "We're almost to Kauai." Camille said as I looked up.
"Alright." I said now even more nervous.
Val
Dream
I slipped into my dream world. I dreamed that I was running through the forest at night in wolf form in search of someone. I heard someone say my name and changed back to my human form. I was standing in a clear opening in the middle of the forest now and the only light that lit the dark forest was the harvest moon and its stars. "Valora." A male voice said that sounded familiar. I looked around and saw nothing.
"Where are you?" I questioned as I looked around again. I heard something pass above me and then looked up to see a cloud lowering itself towards me. I felt butterflies in my stomach as it got closer until it was finally at my level. There was a male of my height on it and he wasn't in anything but a pair of shorts. His muscles seemed to ripple but his face was shrouded in darkness.
"Valora." He spoke sweetly which made my heart jump and the butterflies in my stomach went nuts. He reached over and took my hand and the feel made my heart melt. He gently kissed it and then I noticed who it was.
"Zak?" I questioned now confused as he pulled me closer to him. He gently kissed me on the lips and my eyes widened to the point where I thought they would pop out of their sockets. Then after a second they closed as I kissed back. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I put my arms around his neck. We pulled away and Zak pressed his forehead to my own.
"Valora I've wanted to be with you for so long. I am so glad that we finally are now." Zak said sweetly as he kept his eyes locked on my own.
"I am too Zak. I've wanted for us to be together for a long time now." I said back before Zak kissed me again passionately. I felt a cloud beginning to form beneath us and Zak slowly lowered us down until we were on the cloud with him on top of me while we kissed. We kissed for a little while longer before my hands started tracing his abs.
Val
I woke with a jolt and then realized that we were no longer in the air. I noticed that Zak was the only other one in the cloud. "Okay now I don't have to wake you." Zak said as I sat up. I felt my eyes change and quickly changed them back to their normal violet.
"Where is Ryker and Camille?" I questioned as I looked around for them.
"They went for a walk so that we could talk." Zak said as he looked down at the ground.
"We have to find our water person Zak." I said as I stood up. Zak pulled me back down to a sitting position. "What are you doing?" I asked as he locked his eyes on my own.
"Val I really want to talk with you. Its kind of important." Zak said as he suddenly looked away.
"Well it will have to wait Zak. We don't know how long our water person will be here." I said as I stood up again. Zak groaned as I jumped off of the cloud.
"Fine then go with Ryker and Camille. I'll stay here with the cloud." Zak said with annoyance obvious in his tone.
"Zak you know I cant leave you here alone." I said as I looked back at him as he sat down on the cloud.
"Well too bad because I'm not going." Zak snarled which was actually kind of cute. Ah! What the hell? Where did that come from?
"Zak your pouting isn't going to get me to let you stay here." I said as I controlled the cloud to make him move with me.
"Val stop moving the cloud with you. I'm not going with you unless you let me talk with you in private first." Zak said as he leaned over the edge of the cloud.
"Well you'll have to wait a..." I was cut off by a fire ball hitting me in the side, knocking me over in the process. I lost control of the cloud and it vanished. Zak fell on top of me and I felt my face flush red and when I looked at Zak his face was deep red as well. He scrambled to get off of me.
"S...sorry." Zak stuttered as I sat up and checked where the fire ball hit me.
"Ryker I'm going to kill you." I yelled to him knowing it was him. I stood up and noticed Zak heading off into a few bushes. "Where the hell are you going?" I asked as Ryker and Camille came out behind me.
"I need to use the bathroom." Zak called back as I smacked Ryker upside the head for hitting me with the fire ball.
"Never do that again." I said angrily as he rubbed his head.
"Alright you didn't have to smack me." Ryker said as Camille chuckled at him.
"I told you it would have been better to hit them with a mini tornado." Camille said as I rolled my eyes at her. Zak came back a few minutes later.
"Alright then lets go find our water person." I said as I started to walk away.
"Val I want to talk with you first." Zak said as he grabbed me by the wrist. I quickly pulled out of his grip.
"It can wait until later Zak." I said as I kept walking.
Zak
Why wont she let me talk! I really want to talk about this right now. I just stayed where I was not wanting to go with her unless she talked with me right now. "Zak come on you are coming with us whether you want to or not." Val said from a ways ahead.
"No I'm not." I said as I leaned against a tree and folded my arms over my chest.
"Stop acting like a child and come on Zak. I'll drag you along if I have to." Val said as she started to walk back towards me.
"Then drag me because I'm not going unless you talk with me in private." I said looking down at the ground. I felt something grab onto the back of my shirt and suddenly I was lifted into the air. I looked back and it was a rock hand.
"Didn't know I could do this did you?" Val asked as she pulled me towards her.
"Put me down." I snarled at her as she pulled me along with her. Ryker and Camille were way ahead already.
"No. We have to find our water person." Val said as I noticed a lake in the distance.
"Then we're talking after that." I said before Val made the rock hand let me go and I fell on my stomach. "That wasn't funny." I said as Val chuckled while I scrambled to get up.
"It was for me." Val said as she kept walking. My eyes trailed up and down her body again but I quickly looked away. "Come on slow poke!" Val called from ahead. I took off for her.
Val
I kept walking with Zak behind me until we got to a lake. Ryker and Camille were sunbathing on the shore when we got their. "Is this really the time for sunbathing?" I questioned them as I stood over them.
"You two were taking forever." Ryker said as he sat up.
"That is because I had to drag Zak here pretty much." I said as I noticed the water in the lake beginning to bubble.
"Ha he likes being difficult for you is why." Camille said with a chuckle. I glared at her and then noticed Zak was distant again.
"Earth to Zak! Stop going distant on me!" I shouted at him which snapped him out of his daydreaming.
"Don't yell in my ear like that!" Zak snarled at me which I then felt my eyes change but quickly changed them back to their normal color. "What are you doing with your eyes?" Zak asked as I looked away from him.
"Nothing." I said simply.
"It doesn't seem like nothing." Zak said as he moved in front of me.
"It was nothing." I snapped as I looked out at the water and noticed it was bubbling more. A second later a large water whip came out and lashed at me but I jumped out of the way quickly.
"What was that?" Ryker and Camille asked as they jumped up and moved away from the water.
"A water whip." I said as I dove into the water to investigate. I heard the others shouting at me but ignored them. Right away a fast current came and I turned my body to stone to keep myself from being swept away. A second later a girl with blue hair and eyes appeared in front of me and started creating a whirlpool. I turned myself into water to go along with the current. "Is that all you got?" I taunted her.
"You're water too?" She questioned from behind me as I turned back to normal.
"No I can just control and turn myself into water." I said as I turned around to see her more clearly.
"Who are you?" She questioned me.
"I'll tell you that if you come up to the shore with me to see my friends who are like us." I said as I started to swim for the shore. She followed behind me. We reached the shore quickly and I helped her out of the water. "Now what is your name?" I questioned her.
"Aqua Naida. I picked the last name myself since I don't have a family." Aqua said as the others ran over to us. What is it with people! All four of us are orphans and our earth person probably will be too. Zak is the lucky one. His parents didn't get rid of him for his powers.
"Well Aqua my name is Valora. My friends here are Zak, Ryker and Camille." I said indicating them as they reached us.
"So you are the one who tried to hit Val with a water whip." Ryker said as he put his arms behind his head.
"I didn't know who she was." Aqua said defensively. "Now why are all of you here?" Aqua asked turning back to me.
"To find you." I said with a smile.
Zak
I walked away as Val started to give her speech to Aqua. I've heard it three times now so its getting really boring. Ryker followed me though. "You gonna talk with her?" Ryker asked me.
"If she lets me talk with her. She wants to find the other person more probably." I said as I leaned against a tree.
"That's what you think." Ryker said as he stood in front of me.
"What do you mean?" I questioned him as I folded my arms over my chest.
"Talk with Valora. She'll listen to what you have to say now that we have Aqua. Only one more to go." Ryker said as I looked past him and at the lake.
"She doesn't want to talk with me." I said simply.
"Zak she does want to walk with you. She's worried about how you've been acting actually." Ryker said simply which peaked my interest. Maybe she does care about me more than I thought.
Val seems to be gaining feelings for Zak now too! How is she going to react to what Zak wants to tell her so badly that he throws a fit because she wont let him? More chapters coming most likely after I get back from my vacation. Sorry about it. I wish I could make more but I wont be able to. I hope you all enjoyedthe chapter! Thanks for reading and please remember to review for me.
