OK, people, I decided to rewrite this, cause
It wasn't descriptive enough, and
I wasn't getting any reviews, dammit!
So here is the revised version. This time, please review, please, please, please! I'm getting depression here!
Meet the team
Ryelle's POV
I'm Ryelle. Normal teenage girl. At least on the outside. I've got black hair that comes down to my shoulders, brown eyes, and a temper that would put anyone to shame. I'm English, and proud to be it.
"Hey Ryelle, what're you doing?"
That's Gaia, my best friend. She's got a bit of a big mouth, and she swears a lot. She's also the only one that can ever stop me when I'm in a temper. She's not much better at controlling herself though, so I often do the same for her. She's American and she's also black. She's got these really beautiful black eyes, I swear, they really are pitch black, and she's got black hair as well. Black all over.
Then there's Clio. She's a year younger than the rest of us in our group, but she's in our year at school cause she's really smart. She's also very shy, and she needs protecting a lot. She's half albino, she got the white hair, but missed out on the red eyes. Instead, they're brown. She's Greek, she comes from Athens.
The last one in our quartet is Sephy. Her full name is Persephone, but that's too much of a mouthful for everyday use. She's got absolutely white skin, pitch black hair, and blue eyes. She's considered to be the prettiest of our quartet. She comes from Greece too, but I can never remember the name of the city she comes from.
There's another two sets in our group of eight. In one, there's Kasmira. She tends to think that boys are one of the most important things in life, along with make-up. We all call her Kaz. She's Russian, from Moscow. She's got blond hair, blue eyes, and she's really pretty. A bit snobbish too. She and Sephy are always at each others throats.
Her best friend's Cassandra. She's not quite so into boys, but she really cares about her appearance as well. She's French, so her real name's Cassandre, but she prefers Cassandra. She's got purple hair (yes, purple, I kid you not) and the same colour eyes.
The last set is made up of Alyssa and Diana. Alyssa is English, same as me, but we don't get along that well. She's got blue hair and blue eyes, so that makes three in our group to have everything in one colour.
Diana is our resident eco-warrior. She's another blond, but she's got green eyes. She's Australian.
We've all lived in Japan for quite a while, and now that we're all sixteen, we've got an apartment together in central Toyama. It's heaven with no adults around, but Kaz does her fair share of bossing us around.
That's it for the normal bit. The unusual bit about us is that we were born out of the elements, and we inherited the powers of those elements. I'm fire, Gaia's earth (like duh!), Clio's air, Sephy's dark (double duh!), Kasmira's light, Cassandra's magic (triple duh!), Diana is nature and Alyssa is water. Not quite as normal as you first thought, huh?
A few months ago, there was a group of warriors that had Talpa to deal with. We watched them fight, we even helped them when we were sure that no-one would see us. They managed to defeat Talpa. I'm glad they did, because if they hadn't the last defenders of the human realm would have had to step in. Us. And I wouldn't like to go through all that they did. Talpa would have been even more powerful, as well. But we don't know who they are really. That might be a good thing, because it's almost certain that they're boys, and Kaz would never have left them alone. Let's just be thankful for small mercies, as Gaia pointed out.
Back to normal, then, I guess. Or as normal as it ever gets for us. We'll probably never see the warriors again. We're starting school again in a week, but we've changed schools cause Gaia got into one too many fights, and she got kicked out. So we're all uprooting and going to Han'a High. And lets just hope that no-one starts flirting with Gaia. If they do, all hell will break loose. Gaia does not like to be flirted with!
