AN: Shoutouts will be at the end of the chapter. Enjoy! ^_^
Raining Hard
Chapter 5: "...whatever change took place in the lives of the prominent men has also taken place in the whole people." - Marcus Tullius Cicero
*~Previously~*
Overhead the clouds began to rumble. There was going to be a lightning storm very soon. Any minute the rain would begin to fall.
Elemental was disabled, not helpless. And since the thing used magick, she was liscensed to do the same. Did she dare though? Magick was harmful, there was no doubt about that. However, simple spells never hurt anybody...did they?
There was no more time to think. An attack was coming straight at her. Elemental said a blocking spell and held up her arms, crossing them over her face. The magick attack fell by the wayside.
The figure just watched Elemental's every move. It had attacked, now common rules dictated that Elemental would. That was how wizardry matches went.
Elemental chanted a rune and a scythe of light was thrown towards the figure. It easily deflected it.
The battle took to the sky as both competitors hovered in the air. Elemental took the opportunity to use the energy in the sky. Lightning rained down upon the creature, and thunder sounded in over the city. But the daemon still stood.
An inky blackness surrounded it and its black aura penetrated all life. A chill came about Elemental and she shivered. This needed to end. Each surrounded themselves with a strengthened aura and they charged.
A thunder clap was heard, with a brilliant burst of light.
The creature had been thrown from San Francisco, and Elemental lay on the rooftop.
And the rain began to fall...
*~End~*
Elemental did not have a restful sleep that night. It was now Thursday evening, or very early Friday morning depending upon your point of view. Her students were still tending to her and the wounds were healing well, but her energy was drained and healing herself would have been a huge chore. Alex offered energy, but she flat out refused. Never would she put him through that pain and agony again if she had a choice.
She had been moved back to her own room and Alex was sleeping on a futon one the floor as he always had done. He was very overprotective of _his_K- chan_. He had always been like that even when she could beat him in a competition. He always watched out for _his_K-chan_.
In fact Alex had been the one to give her that nickname. It had grown from her true first name, Kassie.
Elemental turned over in her bed. Nothing was comfortable.
"K-chan?"
"No I'm not comfortable, and I haven't been since I got hurt."
Alex smiled. She always knew the question before she said it. He threw back the quilts for his futon, got up, and walked over to the side of her bed. She turned to face him.
"Alex, I know I need to lie still, I just can't find a comfy spot, okay?"
Alex smiled with his eyes, and yet looked with compassion upon her. He climbed onto the bed, on top of the covers, and pulled her close. Elemental relaxed and let herself be drawn into his embrace.
He kissed her forehead like a brother would kiss his sister and then tightened his grip. 'Cry' he silently begged in his thoughts. 'Just cry and let it all out.'
And as if on command, tears began to roll down her face. Alex looked down upon her face. Gently he wiped her tears away as more came down.
"Alex, there is so much pain and anger, and it is all aimed towards me. All of it. I can't take it any more. No more."
Alex held her tightly, but gently and told poems that were comforting that they had learned. And unbeknownst to her, tears fell from his eyes, for his friend and because the pain was far from over. The rain, the storm was far from over.
AN: Short I know, but hopefully more will be up soon. Now for ShoutOuts! The return message part of the typing. And here we go...
VampireNaomi: Thanks for reviewing when my story was only a chapter long. ^_^ I'm working on Elem. My tendency to make characters perfect so I'm working on changing that. I hope that these next few chapters help.
a-Leng: Thank you and long chapters is just part of my writing style. I can write short chapters, when I am having problems thinking.
foxylittlelady: I have written more, and I hope you like it!
ShadowElfBard: I have continued. I hope interesting is something good. Enjoy the rest.
