The One and Only Elemental
That morning, I woke up in my bed, like nothing had happened. I slowly sat up, wincing some. Out of no where, a headache from hell came and hit me, and my shoulders where aching. "Ah! What's wrong with me?" I groaned. I slowly got up and stretched trying to pop my shoulders. Reaching up as high as I could, all that could be heard then where two sudden pops. One right after the other. I sighed in relief, then looked around my room. It was a huge mess, with only one area clean, and that was right where the wiccan star was. "I'm going to need to cover that up." I said to myself, then began to pile dirty clothes there.
Once I was done, I smiled and then went to the bathroom to get ready for the day. Sure it was around 11 in the morning, but today was Saturday, and that only meant that my birthday was only one day away. I will finally be seventeen! I giggled some, then looked at myself in the mirror. It didn't seem to look like I was turning seventeen. More like nineteen, but oh well. I shrugged, and then decided I was going to take a shower, so I removed my my necklace only to realize that my pendant wasn't on the chain. "Oh goddess! Where is it?" I shrieked, then ran back into my room, looking around. I was freaking out big time. I mean I always freaked out when I lost or misplaced my necklace, but this time I was freaking out more because the pendant was off it. Throwing clothes out of the way, I found myself in the middle on the big wiccan start on my floor, trying to find my pendant.
All of a sudden, the entire circle around me started glowing light purple. I stood up quickly a looked around, freaking out more now because I had no idea what the hell was going on. I then felt something weird on my chest, and slowly looked down some to see a spot on my chest glowing the same light purple as the circle around me was. "What the hell?" I screamed, then ran out of the circle and back into the bathroom. I jumped in front of the mirror and watched as the light purple glow on my chest faded. After it went away, my eyes widened only to see what the glow was hiding. There where my pendant use to be was a little wiccan start tattooed into my skin. "Oh shit...Mom will be pissed when she sees this. Well..If she sees this." I said, running my fingers over the black tattoo. I was then struck with confusion. When I had asked the Gods and Goddesses to bring me a talent, I didn't think it would actually happen. I then began to wonder what it was I could do. 'I'll call Christina over after I get ready.' I thought, then quickly just got dressed, forgetting about the shower.
After I got dressed, I grabbed my cell off my bed side table and then quickly dialed Christina's number. Within two rings, she picked up squealing into the phone. "What?" I shrieked. "You did it! I can feel it! So, tell me your power." she said, already know mostly everything. "I have no idea. That's why I called." I replied, rubbing the back of my neck some. "Oh. Well I'll be right over then!" she said. "Alright. See ya." I said to her. "Well duh!" she giggled then hung up. I smiled and then closed my phone and ran down stairs to wait for her.
As I came down stairs, I covered up my chest where the tattoo was and looked around. I was sure my mother was gone for the day, don't know where, but she said that she wouldn't be here at all. Just in case, I managed to check the entire house before Christina showed up. Because right as I walked back to the stairs and front door, my door bell rang. "Coming!" I called out to Christina, then opened the door. She ran inside and clung to me. "Oh wow! You feel super powerful!" she said, letting go of me. I bit my bottom lip some and then pulled my shirt down to show her the tattoo. "Did you get one of these when she asked the Gads and Goddesses?" I asked her. "Yeah, but yours is in a weird spot. Usually where it is, tells you what power you have, but this is new to me." she said, then pulled up her long sleeve, and showed me the black tattoo wiccan star on her wrist. "I'm a healer. Others like Kira and Seth are either a mind reader or they get visions. They have theirs on the back of their neck. Then the last one is the palm reader, like Trish, and hers is on the palm of her hand." Christina explained to me. "What the hell could mine mean then?" I asked. Christina shrugged some, then got out her phone and began texting. "I'll tell everyone to get over here to help figure this out. Everyone meaning only Kira, Seth, and Trish." she said to be before I had to ask. 'I swear, she might be the mind reader or something.' I thought, then rolled my eyes some, and began to trace over my tattoo. I felt like it was engraved into my chest, and it felt so weird.
After Christina got replies from everyone, she smiled at me then said, "They'll all be here within 30 minutes. Until then, we need to set up for blessings." I nodded to agree with her, then turned to go up stairs. "You might need to help me pick up some." I warned her, smirking some. "The room a mess?" she asked as we came to my door. I slowly opened the door, and then pushed her in. "Whoa. It must have been crazy last night." Christina said, looking around. Nodding some, I sighed and began picking up clothes just to shove them in my closet. Christina soon helped and then after the clothes, we picked up the trash.
Right as we finished there came two knocks at the front door and one ring of the door bell. 'That's weird.' I thought, then ran down stairs. Right as I reached the door, I heard someone say, "I heard that Lynn." I rolled my eyes and then opened the door to see Seth standing there with a smirk on his face and then saw Kira and Trish behind him. "And exactly was I thinking Seth?" I asked him. "That the way I let someone know we're here is weird." he said. 'Damn, your good.' I thought, not wanting to admit it out loud. Seth smirked once more, and then walked in. Kira and Trish soon followed in behind him. I smiled and then shut the door behind them. "Alright everyone! Blessings time!" Christina announced from the top of the stairs. I smiled up at her, and then ran past everyone to go up stairs. As I went up stairs, the others followed behind me, and then I felt like I was being stared out, I stopped and looked behind me to find Seth still smirking out me. I glared at him, then closed my eyes and screamed in my mind. "Ow! Damn girl!" he yelped, covering his ears. "Stay out of my head then." I warned him, then giggled and then walked the rest of the way to my room.
Once we where all in my room, Trish closed my bedroom door behind her, and then walked over to the circle that was still in the middle of my room. Christina stepped in the middle, then I took a point of the star. Everyone smiled, then joined in by taking a point, then joined hands so there was a circle around Christina. We bowed our heads, then Christina began to pray. When she finished, her, Seth, Kira, Trish, and me all said at the same time, "So mote it be!" I slowly looked up and saw everyone looking at me funny. "What?" I asked, blinking. "You seem so-" "Powerful." Seth interrupted Kira. I looked at Trish and Christina and they both nodded to agree with Kira and Seth. "Nothing has come to mind on what it is your power might be." Christina said, and then sighed. I sighed softly too, then walked to the door. "I'm going to go get some water. You guys want anything?" I asked before I left. They all shook there heads 'No', and then I opened the door and walked out.
I ran down stairs, and then into the kitchen. 'What could my power be?" I thought, looking at in the cabinet for a cup. Sighing, I just grabbed a plastic up, then filled it with water from the sink. I took a sip then sat it down, biting my bottom lip some, thinking. "Oh my goddess! Lynn!" I heard Kira yell. It scared the hell out of me! I turned to quickly and then knocked the cup of water over. "No!" I shrieked, trying to reach out to grab the cup. But as I reached out, the cup fell to the ground, but no water was spilt. I blinked, then looked up to see the water floating in the air. "Whoa..." was all I could say. I moved my hand to the side, and the water followed. I moved my hand to the other side, and it followed again.
Shocked as hell, I was still messing with the water when I heard everyone come running down stairs. I looked over at the kitchen door way only to see them right when they got there. "Are you kidding me?" Trish said. I quickly moved my hand so that the water would be over the sink, then put my hand down, making the water drop into the sink. Christina laughed, Trish glared, then Seth and Kira just stood there in shock. "Uhm...I take it that this is my power, to control water?" I asked. "Not only that! Your the Elemental." Christina said, sounding very excited. "The Elemental?" I asked, confused on what that was. "Kira has seen it! You can control all of the elements. Fire, water, earth, and wind." she explained to me. "Wow." I said, now shocked myself. I then looked down and reached up to place my hand over my chest where the tattoo was. I bit my bottom lip hard, then looked at the others once more. "Well I think its time you guys left. I'm not sure what time my moms getting back, so yeah." I said, trying to find a way to get them to leave. I kept my thoughts covered from Seth and then picked up the cup, faking worrying about when my mother was going to get home. Placing the cup in the sink, I turned to look at everyone, and they where just staring at me. "Please you guys, I don't feel like getting in trouble." I whined, "Alright. Text me if you need anything." Christina said, waving. She then walked towards the door and everyone else followed, waving at me too, except for Trish. I waved to everyone, not really caring.
Once they left, and I heard the door shut, I ran to the door and locked it, then sighed in relief. Of course my mother wasn't going to be home anytime soon, but I needed to figure out how my powers worked for my self. I sighed once more, then felt my phone go off in my pocket. I dug into my pocket, taking out my phone and then found out it was just a text message. Flipping my phone open, I saw that it was from and unknown number, well a number I didn't have in my phone. 'Who in the hell?' I thought, then opened the text.
Unknown: Hello Lynn, this is Aro, just to let you know. Anyways, I forgot to even ask if you reall had anything to dress up in. So, I sent you a few early birthday presents which should be arriving soon.
Right as I finished reading the next, my door bell rang. "Whoa." I said, then unlocked the door to find a beautiful, short and pale girl, with short pixie like hair, and real pretty golden eyes. I figured that they must have been awesome contacts or something, because they where so bright. Once I opened the door all of the way, I realized how close she was to the door and away from the porch that was drenched in the sun. As she saw me, she smiled brightly. "Hi! I'm Alice. Its nice to finally meet you Lynn." she said. I blinked, and then looked down at the two boxes and bag she was carrying. "Nice to meet you Alice. Those for me?" I asked. "Well yeah. There from Aro. He asked if I could deliver them to you and make sure everything fits fine. But I already know it will, and you'll love it too!" she said giggling some, then letting herself in. "Oh! So your like Kira! You have visions too?" I said. Alice smiled at me and nodded, and then I turned around and shut the door.
Once I turned back around, I looked up to see Alice already at the top of the stairs. I blinked some, then shook my head and ran up stairs. Alice already seemed to know where to go. Guess she was a bit more gifted than Kira was. I shrugged, and then followed her into my room. As I went in after her, I saw her sat the stuff down on my bed and still holding onto the bigger box. I walked up beside her, and then she turned to hand the big box to me. "This is the dress. I had to pick it out, well everything I picked out Aro just bought it for you." she said, laughing some, then turned around to get the other stuff out of the bag. I then noticed that she didn't have the wiccan star tattooed on her neck. 'If she was like the rest of us, shouldn't she have the tattoo?' I thought. I then became super confused, and then Alice's phone went off. Alice dug into her pocket, then took out her phone and answer it. "Hey Edward I-" she began to say, sounding like she was interrupted. Alice sighed. "Damn. Well what should I do?" she asked whoever it was. There was a moment of silence for the other person to speak. "But Edward! I wanna see-...So, I want to see her actually wearing it." she pouted some. I blinked confused even more, then she sighed, giving in. "Fine. I'll be down in a minute." she whined, then closed her phone. "Mean brother. I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow night. Me and my family will be picking you up." she explained. "Oh! Right. So your family is part of The Volturi Coven?" I asked as she walked to my door. "Haha! No. My family is its own coven. Its small, but we like to keep it that way. We're The Cullen Family Coven." she replied. "Cool!" I said, smiling. "Well I'll show myself out. Try on everything, and then tomorrow me and my sisters will come over early and help with your hair and make-up." she said, smiling at me. "Alright. See you tomorrow!" I said. Alice waved and then left my room.
When I heard the front door shut, I began to jump up and down, giggling. I was so excited, and I so could not wait! I then realized that I still hadn't looked at the dress, and bit my bottom lip some. Once I had prepared myself for something good looking, I closed my eyes and then opened the box quickly. I slowly opened my eyes and saw the most beautiful dress ever. 'Oh yeah. I so can't wait.' I though, smiling down at the dress.
