ElfQuest Fire & Flight (This isn't the exact story of ElfQuest for those of you have read the books, but I added a little and changed some of the things that happen and put some in different places than they were in the book. But I hope you read and enjoy.)
Chapter 1: A New Member
Rayek sat on the sandy shore fishing in the only area empty of humans, in this era dominated by humans. Everything was quiet, a soft breeze passing through the branches. The river twinkled and splashed against the rocks. Some fish were making bubbles at the surface of the water.
"Let's see, the forest gets burned down and they go to the Caverns..." Rayek looked up at the outcropping rock across the river. A girl was standing there with a book in her hand. Rayek roughly pulled his fishing pole out of the water, with a fish caught on the hook. He ran further into the trees. He paused in his hurry when he heard familiar names that could never be human names.
His curiosity aroused and he hopped across the river on the rocks, quietly, with his fish pole over his shoulder. The fish still hanging on the hook, flopped a bit. He hid behind some jagged rocks listening to the girl.
She sat down on the edge of the outcropping. She swung her legs over the edge and sat the book down next to her.
"Alex, why do you read this stuff - it's not like it's true or ever will be. Plus if it was, Cutter can't be mine anyway cause he has Leetah. And Skywise. Gees, he even a whole different story." She said to herself as she took off her shirt and showed her swimsuit top.
She threw her shirt behind her and stood up.
"It would be so cool to go there though - right before they go into the desert." Alex said taking off her shorts and looking at her book. She was reading the part about them, right before they went into the desert.
She sat her shorts down next to her book.
"Skywise and I would definitely get along." Alex said smiling.
Rayek thought that in this era humans didn't know about the elves. But it seemed that this Alex knew a lot. She knew more about the elves than they knew about themselves. Alex bent down and closed the book. She looked at the cover and stood up again. She stood on the corner of the outcropping.
She jumped off in a dive. Rayek smiled, turned and walked away, right before Alex hit the water. Alex didn't hit the water like she thought she would.
**THUD**
"Owwch!" Alex yelled.
She looked around and saw that she wasn't where she had been earlier.
"Oh gees, not again. I seriously hope that this time there aren't any wars. Where am I anyway?" Alex said looking around.
All around her was desert and a lot of 'sticker plants.'
"Hey! Am I where I think I am?" She said standing up and looking around again. She looked down at her hand and clothes, which she expected to be normal.
"What the heck! I'm I am elf? My clothes and hand changed. Hey wait, I'm wearing Joyleaf's clothes. Do I look like her, or something?" Alex asked.
Taking her attention off of what she looked like, she remembered the books.
"None of the cacti are cut open.that means they haven't come yet.Redlance is still hurt too." She said.
She started to really get hot, so she sat in any shade she could find.
"Can I send I wonder?" She thought when she heard a noise.
She jerked her head up and looked around her. She saw a wolf coming toward her, and elves were behind it.
"I am at this part of the story." She thought.
"Maybe I can show myself in a minute without getting myself killed." She thought seeing Cutter and Skywise.
She waited for a few minutes [not getting seen or heard to her surprise. She thought they would hear her moving or breathing, but they didn't]. Cutter passed by her, and as she remembered - cut his hand on a 'sticker plant.'
"OW!!" He yelled.
"I'll try to send to him now." She thought.
"Tam." Alex paused in her sending, ".you should be more careful."
Cutter spun around (cutting open the 'sticker plant' as he spun), and seeing a figure that wasn't familiar to him and didn't look like anyone in his tribesmen, and knowing that Skywise was the only one that knew his soul name, Cutter yanked New Moon out of its sheath. He saw Alex standing there.
"..." Cutter just stared.
"You stare at me like you've seen a ghost Cutter." Alex sent smiling and remembered she looked like Joyleaf (Cutter's mother, for those of you that don't know about ElfQuest that well).
"Mother." Cutter whispered.
"My name is Alex." Alex sent seeing his shock.
Skywise came up behind Cutter and saw the 'sticker plant' that Cutter opened had water in it.
"Hey! There's water in these 'sticker plants.' Get yourself something to drink!" Skywise yelled to the others.
Everyone opened the plants and drank, not noticing Alex. Cutter was still standing there staring at her. Skywise came to give Cutter some of the water and saw him standing there staring at something. He looked over at the place where Cutter was looking and saw Alex standing there.
"Joyleaf.?" He whispered.
"No.my name is Alex." Alex said walking over to them.
Cutter remembered how Alex got his attention and said, "Wait.did you just call me. by my soul name?"
Skywise's eyes widened. Alex nodded and looked straight at Cutter.
"I am a friend." Alex sent to Cutter, looking into his beautiful bright blue eyes.
She looked over at Skywise and smiled knowing how much she was in love with him, but didn't say anything because he is a cartoon character. or so she thought. But she kept her mouth shut anyway.
"I'll explain everything," She said holding out her hand.
Cutter took Alex's hand and followed her into the shade, curious to how she knew his soul name and many other things he is soon to find out that she knows about.
In the cool shade Alex and Cutter sat looking at each other for a long moment.
(In Cutter's mind - "How did she know my soul name? Who is she and why does she look like my mother?" In Alex's mind - "OH MY GOD!!! I'm talking to Cutter!! I'm an elf and I look like his mother. OH MY GOD! He is soo gorgeous! And Skywise.OH GOD!!!!.OK now's not the time to drool over them, do it later. ^_^")
Cutter broke the silence.
"How did you know my soul name? Why are you out here in the middle of nowhere. and by yourself at that?" Cutter sent to Alex.
"I know your soul name because I am a friend." She reminded him.
"And I don't really know how I got out here, either." She said.
Cutter looked at her, he looked into her eyes and was thinking about how much she looked like his mother when.
"Syre? What.? Is that her soul name?" he thought.
"Is she my.no she can't be 'souls meet souls when eyes meet eyes' and she knew my soul name before she even looked into my eyes. Could she be.my sister maybe.like me and Skywise?" He thought.
Before he said anything about it, Alex looked up at him. She looked really worried about something.
"Cutter? Is Redlance ok? And Nightfall?" Alex whispered.
Cutter looked at her shocked. "How'd she know about them? We just met and she already knows that two of my tribesmen were left behind?" Cutter thought. "I hope so." He said.
Cutter got up and looked around for any sign of a new home or anything at all other than desert everywhere he looked.
"If you're looking for a new home.there are some mountains over there." Alex said getting up and pointing as she walked over to Cutter.
Cutter looked in the distance where Alex had pointed. She was right. Cutter could faintly see a mountain range in the distance. Scouter was called over, by Skywise, to check and see if he saw mountains like Alex had said. And he did.
"There will be something over there for you I think." Alex said not revealing that she knew everything that they were going to find behind the mountain.
"Wolfriders! We had had our chance to rest and we are close to a place of peace! We must ride a little further to our new home." Cutter yelled to his wolfriders
"Alex.? Come with us." Cutter said.
Alex nodded. Not wanting to be out here by herself and wanting to see how the rest of the story went, even though she knew. But she wanted to see how it went with her in it.
"Godd, then let's ride wolfriders." Cutter said getting on Nightrunner.
Alex stood there for a moment, then started to walk next to Cutter as he rode on Nightrunner,
"Need a ride?" Cutter asked.
Alex shrugged her shoulder.
"Nightrunner can you carry two people?" Cutter asked his friend.
Nightrunner nodded and Cutter smiled.
"Get on.He can carry the both of us the rest of the way." Cutter said and smiled at Alex.
Alex got on Nightrunner and put her arms around Cutter's waist.
