CHAPTER 5: FLIGHT
Era felt a hand shake her lightly from her unconcous state, once her vision had cleared she saw Rameerez standing above her."If you want to fly you have to wake up" he stated, she got up groggily and climbed down the wall to the waterfall. "What are you doing" he questioned raising an eyebrow, "I havent washed my face in days nor have I brushed my teeth" she said yawning and searched through the bag she brought down with her. Once she had finished and climbed back up Rameerez had put his cloak aside to show a black t-shirt(which had holes at the back for his wings) and black cargo pants, "jump on" he said and bent down slightly. She climbed on and her eyes widened behind her goggles as he put his hands on her legs, she would never blush."Brace your self" and with a huge downward thrust of his wings they shot up into the sky, Eras grip on his shoulders tightened as they left the ground, she'd never been so high before. They clouds didn't seem so distant now.
Adreneline rushed through her body as the wind hit her face, 'this is fantastic!' she thought. Once they landed Era got of and wobbled slightly then fell on her backside, then she did something unexpected, she laughed. Then she stopped, realising she hadn't laughed like that before, even when her family were alive. Not the burst out laughing type anyway. Rameerez raised an eyebrow at her weird behaviour, but he shrugged it off.
Once again the group set off deeper into the woods, and the silence was rather uncomfortable. "so...do we have any more gems to get?" Madison asked, "yes, were heading for one now, luckily it isn't that far away" said Kai, with Rameerez repeating it to Era. As they passed the dark trees Era felt annoyed by the silence so she put her C.D player on, Her mother had given her C.D's from earlier in the century. The people who she liked the most were called linkin park and evenescence (I jus had 2 put there songs in this coz i luv em i do not own the songs either), she played evenescence and let the music flow through her ears and calm her down.
long lost words whisper slowly to me
still can't find what keeps me here
and all this time I'v been so heart lost inside
I know your still there
watching me
wanting me
I can feel you hold me down
fearing you
loving you
I want let you hold me down
haunting you I can swear your alive
your heart pounding in my head
watching me
wanting me
I can feel you hold me down
saving me
raping me(that didn't sound right)
watching me
watching me
wanting me
I can feel you hold me down
fearing you
loving you
I want let you hold me down
Era turned her C.D player off as they reached a huge clearing with a large oak tree on the other side, as the Era walked to the middle out of mere intrest the others stayed back, well actually Madison was held back by Kai. Suddenly a green form jumped down from the oak tree, turns out if you look closly its a male. He had green hair that looked like leaves and was covered by masses of leaves or small plants, he looked at Era with hard set emerald green eyes then spoke clearly."Sorceress of dark my name is Sayther the earth tribes leader(where do i get these names), you must battle me and win to claim the earth gem and its people." He got himself in a fighting position and Era did the same.
Suddenly a vine that was wrapped around his hand and wrist extended like a whip an shot out for Era, she dodged but got a nasty cut on her cheek. Era ran up to Sayther jumping and dodging the whip along the way then launched at him with a punch, it landed on his jaw and he flew back. After he quickly recovered he kicked Era in the leg and she fell over, he was about to slam his foot down in her face but she rolled and jumped up. She spun and kicked Sayther in the back and he doubled over in pain, Era launched again and pinned him with his arms behind her back."Very well young one! you have passed the test, the services of me and my people are yours." Era nodded and helped him up which shocked him a bit, but he bowed greatfully and gave her a dark green gem. Sayther disappeared into the gem and Era pocketed it, the rest came over and congratulated her. The same energetic feeling ran through Eras body as the last time.
Then a sudden wind picked up and a white women jumped down from the sky, she had pure white hair with feathersintwined here and there. She also had angel wings that were twice the size of Kais and she wore a pure white dress that covered her feet, she looked at Madison and walked over with such grace that she truely did seem like an angel."Young sorceress of light my name is Angela the air tribes leader, you must answer three questions to claim the air gem." She stood infront of Madison and and asked, "if there was a young orphan in the street what would you do to help the child?" Madison answered quickly, "Well I would offer the child shelter, food and water of course." The women nodded then continued,"If there was an arguement between two beggers over food what would you do." "I would buy enough food for both of them and say that you must share and not be greedy next time" she said finding these questions easy. "And last of all what do you expect of the world?" she asked, Madison considered this for a moment and said."I expect everyone to be fair to others and respect others, I wish that the world could be less violent than it is now and hope that people will realise their mistakes soon before it gets out of hand." The women smiled and said "you have passed the test and you may take the air gem and its many services," she handed Madison a white gem and disappeared into it. Madison felt that strange energy rush into her again, she smiled slightly and put it in her pocket.
Era smiled as she watched her sister pass the test with ease, then gave her a thumbs up. "Hey I'v just realised Era, we haven't had a bath or shower in days" she said cringing slightly, Era thought for a moment. "Hey Madison I have an idea, what if we use our gems. I use earth to make some sort of pool and I fill it with water, then you heat it up and then we can bath" she said. Madison nodded, "but you to HAVE to stay away while we bathe you got that" Era warned pointing a finger at Kai and Rameerez. They nodded in understanding, then Era and Madison walked behind the large oak tree with their bags and walked in a little. Kai and Rameerez stayed sat on the mossy type grass and felt slight shakes of the ground, then Era and Madison came back."Ok Madison you can go first" said Era who sat herself down on a log, and looked at the dence and dark tree tops.
About half an hour later Madison walked bak into the clearing wearing her usual clothes but had damp hair, "you can go get a bath now sis" she said and sat on the log Era was sitting on. Era walked to wear she and her sister had created a small pool, she got undressed and got in. The water was cool now but she didn't mind, Era grabbed the shampoo(thats a weird word wen u think about it lol)out of her bag and washed her hair quickly. She never took to long in the bath or shower, she never really was bothered about her appearence. Era looked up at the dark canopy above her, she smiled and thought about this morning.'I hope I can do that again, its the most fun I'v had in ages' she thought as she got out and dried herself of with a towel from her bag. 'Better get some different clothes for now', she pulled some new clothes out of her bag and got dressed.
Rameerez looked up as he saw Era enter the clearing, his jaw dropped slightly. She was wearing Baggy black pants that hung of her hips with chains on both sides,a navy blue sleeved shirt that showed her stomach and he noticed her black and silver hair wasnt tied up. She a slim(not ded skinny though) stomach that looked like she deffinatly exercised regurly, but to be top of the fighting class you have to be strong. Madison waved to her sister and Era nodded back, she sat down next to Madison and adjusted her goggles slightly."Theres an exit to the forest not far from here, I believe a small village is there, so we may rest in comfort" said Rameerez who had just got over his gaping session. Kai repeated this to Madison, Madison looked at Era who nodded. They got up, got their bags and began to walk.
Era looked back to see Madison, as usual, walking with Kai and chatting casually. It made her feel out of place slightly knowing that she would never be as open with her feelings as her sister, her gaze turned back to the invisable path and she trudged on. They soon made it to the edge of the forest and found a village, Era and Madison thought it looked strange. The houses were made from wood instead of bricks and metal, "the village wanted to keep to tradition and use wood for building. That forest is their land but people can travel through it, its where they get there wood" explained Rameerez. They walked along the natural path and looked in awe at the old fashioned village, they walked into an inn and went to the counter."Hello sir, me and my friends wonder if you have a room free" asked Madison politelly. The short man looked through a book, then he handed her a key and she paid the money. They walked up the creaky wooden stairs and stopped at their room, Madison fell on the bed the moment she entered. Era went over and pulled the covers over her, then went to her bed. It was around 10 'clock, Era put her bag on one of the four beds and walked out."Where are you going?" Rameerez questioned,"I just need somw time to think ok" and with that she left. He wasn't fooled that easily,'if she's crying again then I should comfort her, shouldn't I?' he pondered. Kai was already sleeping in the bad opposite Madison, Rameerez left the room quietly and stopped outside the door. He heard a noise from the upper floor, so he walked up and found the source of the noise on the roof top.
Rameerez saw Era leaning against a railing that over-looked the streets, with her balck coat has swishing out behind her. He walked up and stood beside her and felt relieved that she wasn't crying, she didn't seem to notice. "Are you ok?" he asked with concern in his voice, she nodded."What are you doing out here anyway?" he questioned, "I'm just thinking" she replied. "About?" "...parents," he couldn't tell if there was tears in her eyes because of her goggles but her voice said she was upset."It would be wise to tell some one about your troubles, keeping it bottled up inside will do you no good." Eras hands tightened on the railing and she cried, she let it all out."I don't know why I'm crying, my nightmares stopped that night when you saw me cry. I shouldn't be crying now the nightmares have gone but my parents... they wont get out of my head, I want them to leave my head. They were killed by a bunch of drunken gangsters, the had no motive except their fucking urge to kill when ever they see some one! And I couldn't do anything... me and Madison watched as they shot them, I covered her eyes so she wouldn't be able to see then. But I watched, I couldn't stop it and its all my fault! I could of helped them!" They tears wear building up in her goggles and she was close to tearing the railing out of the ground, the mix of saddness and anger coursed through her body. She didn't know why she was opening up to him, she just needed some one there right now.
He hugged her while she cried in his shoulder,'she has serious problems, has she even talked to her sister about this?' he thought. She sniffed and whispered "thank you", then let go of him, sat against the railing and took her goggles of. Era wiped her eyes and shaked the black goggles of any tears, she kept her eyes closed and leaned her head back. He sat down beside her and said "open your eyes?" "Why?" she asked with her eyes still shut, "I'd like to see your eyes thats all" he said with a slight pale blush creeping up to his cheeks,'good thing she had her eyes closed when I said that'. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at him. He stared at her for a while not really noticing what he was doing, Era looked at the floor. "You should let people see your eyes, theres nothing wrong with them" he said sincerly. "I think I'll keep the goggles, I'm quite attached to them" she said. He was glad now that she was no longer upset, "Have you talked to your sister about your problem" he asked. Era looked up and shook her head, "I don't want to worry her." He nodded and got up, "we better get some sleep" he said holding out a hand. She grabbed it and stood up, she walked off down to the rrom with Rameerez following.
Era climbed in the comfortable bed and drifted off, Rameerez watched her smiling slightly.'If she can open up to me and not her sister then maybe she does like me' he thought, he got into his bed and fell asleep.
