Chapter 21

A/N Well, it seems clear that Ella dev is the obvious choice, so here it is:

Ella POV

I walked up to Max's door and knocked. "Max, are you in there?" I said.

"Yeah, come on in."

I walked in to find her sitting on her bed, playing with her iPhone. She put it down and looked up to me.

"What's up?"

"Umm… I have something to tell you."

"You aren't preg-

"Max! No! What? That's insane Max! No!"

"Sorry," she laughed "Whats up?"

"Umm… I can fly…" I said. I wanted to tell her everything in segments, but then everything flew out of my mouth. "And go on fire, I think. And become water, go invisible, turn into metal and probably a lot more. Also, I've been dating Iggy. We made out big time last night." I didn't mean to say that part, so I covered up quickly by adding something in. "It wasn't my fault though because he kissed me first!" I sucked in air, completely out of breath.

Her mouth dropped. "I'll be right back," she said after a moment.

She left the room and I went and sat on her bed.

"Ow! What the hell?" Iggy screamed.

"That's for making out with my sister!"

I heard another "ouch."

"And THAT is for making out with Nudge and then ditching her."

Then a third "Ow!" "That's for making out with Nudge in the first place!"

I heard her footsteps coming down the hall. She opened the door.

"Sorry, I had to do that anyway, I talked to Nudge before."

I looked down. "It's OK" she said. "She's happy for you."

I smiled for a moment. "Thanks." I said.

"About the flying thing… we're gonna need some practice."

I was flying! I was freakin flying! On my own this time, too! It felt amazing!

"Having fun?" Max asked from next to me.

"Hell yes!" I said. I quickly began a loopdie-loop, stalled at the peak of the loop, and then went straight down. I screamed in excitement. Everything was so exhilarating. I felt adrenaline coursing through me.

Suddenly Max's expression changed to one of slight fear. "Hey, umm… Ella? You're kinda… err… glowing."

I looked down at my hands to see she was right. My skin was glowing yellow with a slight tint of green and a deep blue on the outside. Scared, I quickly hugged Max.

Suddenly, she looked like she was being electrocuted. I quickly let go. The glowing had died down a bit. Great, now I'm a human tazer.

"It's ok… I'm f-f-fine. J-ju-just a l-lil sh-sh-sh-shock-k." She stuttered, suddenly shaking every time she did.

I thought about what emotion I was feeling when I started glowing. Then I forgot, I was still glowing. I decided to try commanding myself to use my ability, the way I have with flying.

Thunder. I flicked my hand outward and a line of electricity flew out of my hand and into a tree, my body stiffening as it happened.

"Holy crap." Max said for the 10th time that night. "Ella… you are so grounded." She giggled.

A/N Sorry again about taking so long to update the last few chapters. Also, I'm horrible at rhymes and Ella needs some sort of rhyme or words to use for her spells instead of something un-original like "fly." So I'm turning to those of you readers who are in countries outside of America. I need you to give me a foreign word that means different things such as "fire" and "water" and "metal" etc. Italian, Egyptian, Guam…ian, Chinese, whatever! I just need a word. Cant update till I have one. Oh, and if you live in the states but know a word that might work, please leave a review telling me what it is! Thanks!
