AN: Sorry this chapter has got me. I hope this is ok. :S Please review, and let me know if I'm going in the right direction.
They walked back along the corridor, this time accompanied by Bei Fong. Ethan's pace was significantly lower now that he was walking away from the place he loved. He walked next to Kay, both of them behind Bei Fong. Everyone was silent. It was something about Bei Fong that made Kay uneasy. It felt like him and small talk didn't go together. Whereas Ethan was normally all about saying anything to fill a silence, he was subdued. He looked like he was thinking hard.
The silence made Kay nervous and she started wringing her wrists and pulling on her hoodie sleeves.
"Stop that," Ethan said quietly without appearing to even look in her direction. Kay gave one last defiant tug to show she didn't care, but stopped anyway.
They walked a while longer and Kay could have sworn it didn't take this long last time.
"Here we are, oh dear. Feels like rain." Bei Fong remarked. "I'll open the hatch when you get to the top.
Ethan went first climbing the ladder; Kay gave a small smile to Bei Fong, and hesitated,
"Bye," She said suddenly and started climbing.
"Good bye Kayleigh," The light dimmed as they reached the top. The cap, just as before lifted itself up and let them leave, replacing itself just as Ethan had finished giving Kay a hand up. Just as Bei Fong predicted it was raining. Kay started to run,
"Wait," Ethan said grabbing her wrist to slow her down. Ethan looked around to make sure no one was looking. He moved as if he was performing ballet. But as his arms came back up, the water followed his movements. Kay was no longer being rained on, but the rain bent its path around them. She looked up in awe. So it was all true...
The dome started moving,
"Come on," Ethan said, as he moved forward holding his arms up. She ran a few steps to be next to him.
"So you really wanna go back home do ya?"
"Yes," Kay said quietly, she didn't really. But she didn't have a choice, did she? "That," She said pointing to the dome above them, "Can I do that?" Ethan grinned.
"Yes, I'll teach you," They reached her front garden, and walked into the shelter of the porch, Ethan relaxed his arms. "Now-"
"Sh" Kay said putting a finger to her lips, "They're asleep," She whispered.
"Ok," He whispered back, and rolled his eyes. Using one hand he pulled a hand-full of raindrops from the air, with his hand open they all floated still in front of it, he clenched his hand into a fist and the raindrops merged into a small ball of water. Kay was amazed.
He opened his hand, and led the water towards Kay. "Take it from me," He said. Kay raised an eyebrow, Ethan nodded. She raised her hand and tried to mimic Ethan's pulling move. Nothing. She sighed and slumped her shoulders. "Hey, hey," he said getting her attention, "You gotta focus. It needs a lot of concentration, water bending. You have to feel the energy go through you to the water. Try again," Kay did not feel like trying again. She was in a freaking prophesy, and she still wasn't special. It was obvious she would not be able to water bend. Or worse that this was a joke and she fell for it. Nonetheless, Ethan did look very persuasive with his wide grin. She concentrated on the water moving towards her hand. She started beckoning it almost. Nothing happened for a while, until a small drop left Ethan's hand, and then followed by a trickle, slowly but surely all the water found its way into a ball now cradled in Kay's hands. She felt amazing.
"I did it," She looked up at Ethan, full of pride for herself. Ethan laughed, and chucked her chin, all the water fell through her hands onto the porch floor,
"Ha-ha, right, well I guess I'll see you later." He jogged off into the rain with the dome above him. When she saw the dome she didn't feel so proud of her achievement anymore. She felt her face where he had touched her, shook her head clear, and, as silently as she could, opened to the door and went to bed.
