Move Along Chapter 2: Introduction, Part 2, a loonatics unleashed fanfic

My legs were slightly bent out of shape, but the doctors said it wasn't permanent. I couldn't go to school for a while though. When I got home, I wondered what to do with the necklaces. I slipped the one with the sapphire onto my neck. I admired it, then attempted to pull it off. It wouldn't budge.

From then on, I was the cool Element of Water.

Unwittingly, I had bonded myself to Water, my favorite of all the Elements. I didn't know I gained powers too. I discovered this when I was washing my hands. I cupped my hands together and the water formed a sphere. Surprised, I withdrew my hands, and the water splashed down again. I didn't know what was happening. But then I remembered.

Choose one, and I hope you choose well.

I was careful not to somehow use my powers without myself knowing of it. I didn't tell anyone else about it either. Then I remembered the rest of the amulets. I carried them around everywhere. I looked at each one and wondered about the lady. She had said give them to trustworthy people. The first person that came to mind was Julie, my best friend. The next time she came, I decided that she was definitely someone trustworthy.

"Julie, can you keep a secret?"

"Yeah?"

I held out my hand, and I formed a water sphere.

"Whoa." Julie poked it.

I pointed to my sapphire necklace, the gold chain intertwined with my jade necklace's string.

"It's because of this."

And I told her the whole story. Like the good friend she is, she listened intently.

"So you have four to give away? Who are you going to give them to?"

I showed her the amulets.

"Choose one."

"What?"

"You're a good, trust worthy person. I decided you can have one."

Of course, Julie always tries to leave the deciding to me. I eventually gave in, and did eenie-meeie-miny-moe. I picked the topaz. Julie put it on.

"I wonder what it does," she whispered.

"Probably gives you the power of electricity," I thought aloud.

As a joke, Julie pointed at the lightbulb, and went, "Turn off."

It did.

We checked to see if the light switch was still in the 'on' position.

It was.

Julie figured out how to turn it back on ("Turn on!") before my mom came. We decided not to tell anyone.

After that, Julie was the Element of Thunder.

The next day, Julie came again, this time with my cousins, Chris and Stephanie. Chris got bored, and went to play Maplestory. That's when another thought occurred to me.

Stephanie was trustworthy.

She was a year younger than me, but she was still smart. She wouldn't abuse her powers.

So we told her. She took it all in, occasionally looking toward the doorway to make sure no one was listening.

"So they give you powers?"

"Yeah."

"And I can have one?" she asked.

"Yup," Julie replied.

She chose the diamond necklace and put it on.

"I can hear a lot better," she said.

"What?"

"I can hear some people arguing...two blocks from here."

"How do you know that?"

"The wind told me."

Stephanie was now the graceful Element of Air.

A few boring weeks later, I could go back to school. I still had the emerald amulet and the ruby. I wondered who else would be trustworthy enough. And then I knew, as Lauren was whacking Jacovie for making fun at my legs.

Lauren and Jacovie.

Both of my friends listened, and both my friends accepted the amulets.

As soon as they did, Lauren became the beautiful Element of Earth, and Jacovie, the burning Element of Fire.

Jacovie was jealous. We both loved Water, and he didn't think that it was fair that I was the Water Element. However, he dealt with it, and made sure to keep his newfound temper under control, otherwise, his homework would burn.

Lauren found everything quite amusing. She enjoyed her powers, and she seemed much more calmer now. Emma and Ling were suspicious, because she hadn't called Emma an idiot for some time. But Emma wasn't complaining.

We seemed to have other powers too. I found out that I could heal things, after I had bruised myself, and the bruise had healed itself quickly. It seemed to me like I was a white mage of sorts. Jacovie also bruised himself, but he didn't have white mage powers, or at least, not my kind. The few tears that fell out his eyes had burned a hole through the floor. We thought it may have been phoenix tears. Lauren almost got hit by some idiot bird's poop, but it bounced off something invisible. She had somehow conjured a shield. Julie had gotten bored and stared at a piece of chalk too long. As a result, the chalk was lifted in the air and flew around a bit. Fortunately, no one but her and Stephanie noticed. She had developed telekinesis. Stephanie had taught herself how to teleport using her Air powers. We made the best of these powers without being noticed.

I felt happier than ever I did in my whole life, although I don't know why. I wondered what was the point of giving us powers? Would we have to use them? My question was answered sooner than I thought.

Notes:

This is slightly messed up. I mean, the timeline of it. Er...Jacovie's probably the only one who knows what I'm talking about...never mind.
