Chapter 3: Explanations
(River)
it took about 30 minutes for mom to drive home. And the whole time I was trying to breath deeply and settle down from the heat I was feeling at that point and time.
It was when my mom checked my temperature that she got concerned. "This can't be right at all." She said. "What you mean mom?" I asked. "It must be broken because it reads 127" Mom said. I didn't let on that that worried me more then she knew.
So I decided just to head to my room and lay down for a while since things were getting a little too tense. I opened my window and sat on the bed for a minute to let the cool air inside.
'How in the world can my temperature be that high and I don't get effected by it.' I thought. Because in the medical books that I have read, no human can survive up to 105. It is too high.
So I just laid down and let the air in my room cool me down. I didn't want to get under the covers because I was already sweeting at this point. And I just didn't want to move. So I closed my eyes for a minute and began to think.
But before I even knew it I was drifting off towards sleep again. And this time a new dream seemed to have hit me.
'I saw 2 creatures coming down the same road my mom took to get to school and home. I realized it was the same two dragons from my dreams earlier. "Are you sure he is one of them?" Ember asked trying to keep up. He just nodded. "He was showing the signs that he had and element in him." Flame said.
"Well is it going to be ok. I mean he didn't see us when you where talking to him earlier today." Ember said. "I am sure he will see us this time. Then we can explain every thing to him" Flame said. They then were about to pull up to a house.
But then Flame Grabbed Ember and dove into the bushes as a lady walked out the house.' Before I could finish the dream I heard a noise out side. But before I did any thing it occurred to me that Ember said. 'we talked to him earlier and he didn't even look at us.' that freaked me out. "No way these people can exist." I said afraid. I got up and went to my window.
"Close the window or you'll regret it." I said to myself. But no matter how many times I say it I wouldn't shut the window. Something was just keeping me from shutting it.
So i turned around and walked to my door. When I was at it and about to turn the knob. I heard a crash and turned around to see what it was. But what I saw stopped my blood cold. Standing right their on my bed was the two dragons from my dream.
(Flame)
We tried hiding in the bushes and then we saw that their was an opening on the side of the house. We decided to go for it not knowing that River was in their. So when we landed and looked up We saw him starring at us in shock and fear.
ember nudged my shoulder to get my attention. "He sure lives in a strange way having so many odd things in his small little home." Ember said to me. I nodded then looked up at him.
"I guess we have a bit of explaining to do then." I said. River just shook his head not saying anything. I sighed. "Come on sit down so we can tell you then." I said. He moved to the side of the bed eyeing us like we would attack at any moment.
I took a deep breath and started. "First off This is Ember and my name is Flame." I said. He just nodded. "And we well. We don't come from your world as you can tell. We our from a separate realm from your own. We are here to find the 4 of your kind that each hold one of the elements in them. we need them to help in search of our friends Spyro and Cynder." I said.
River shut to his feet and dug into a light brown box. He kept looking till he found what he was looking for. "I always thought that this world was fake. and hear I am being proven wrong." he said. This obviously confused me.
"Um I don't mean to ask but what are you saying?" I asked. He got up and showed us a picture that had Spyro on it. This made both me and Ember jump. He had a picture of our friend as he was standing on a ledge with his chest held high.
"Thats him. Right?" River asked. Me and Ember just shook our heads. But I didn't want to ask him how he got it I just looked at him and took a breath."So yeah as I said we are here to find the four that will help us." I said.
"Ok but I don't see what that has to do with me." River said. "I am telling you this because you show signs of the fire element." I said. It took a while but after a bit the look on river's face told me he got it. "No way dude you got the wrong guy I am just fighting a cold." He said.
"River. This is no cold. You have the Fire element. Which means you have some where in you, no matter how small it is, you have a dragon form hiding ready to come out." Ember said. I just nodded in agreement. But I could tell River was in denial. "Look I am not a dragon and I am just over heated besides I can't poses and element I am just a normal high school kid." river said.
I took a breath. "Look River. You have this because you wanted it. Some where inside yourself you wanted to be a dragon thus giving you the fire element." I said trying to sweep away his denial. He just looked up and took a breath. "So I am asking you. Can you help us find our friends." I asked.
"Fine but I have no idea how to find the other 3 your looking for." River said. "No need to. The others are those people you were hanging with earlier today." I said. He then took out some kind of black square and pushed something. He then held it up to his ear.

After I hung up the phone I grabbed my bike and left the garage. "My friends will be at the park but they can't wait long." I said. I started peddling very hard. And I was still having trouble believing that this was happening. But the prove was flying above my head.
I mean these where game characters that I played threw out my child hood. I never expected them to once ever be real. It was surprising to me to find them real. I was just struck with both fear and shock from it all.
But after a while I slowly began to accept then I began to think. 'How can I help these two find their friends. I remember Spyro and cynder beating the dark master but thats it nothing else.'
As I was in thought I didn't notice the curb. By the time I looked up I was already going over my handle bars. I landed with my back right onto the ground. Boy I was lucky it was grass and not concrete.
"RIVER!" I heard some one yell. I looked up to see Sierra coming at me. When she did she helped me up and sighed. "Are you ok?" She asked worried. I just nodded. "Are the others here to?" I asked. "Yeah. But why you want to see us?" Sierra asked. I just sighed. "I will tell you when we are with the others." I said.
She nodded and pulled me to Emily and Kyle. "Hey what you want to talk about dude." Kyle said rubbing his shoulder. "Before for I say any thing. I want to say that what I am about to tell you. Don't freak out over it." I said.
They all looked at me like I was about to commit a murder. But I might as well have. "Ok you two you can come out now." I said. My friends just looked at me for a moment then their eyes got wide. Flame and Ember came from the bushes and stood right beside me.
"Guys this is Ember and Flame." I said. "Tell me this is a joke and that is dogs in a costume." Kyle said. "Oh I assure you that we both are very real." Flame said. They all looked at me wide eyed.
"Ok I guess I should start to explain but I think you all need to sit down for what I am about to say." I said. They nodded and sat. Then I started to explain our little problem
(A hour later)
"No way. It is not even possible." Kyle said in denial. "Your nuts dude we are not like that." Kyle said pointing to Flame. "Kyle's right. I mean do you even hear your self River. It sounds crazy." Emily said.
I just looked at them waiting for them to calm. The only one who seemed un affected was Sierra. "You ok?" I asked her. She looked at me with red eyes. I could tell she was crying. "Yeah it is just a lot to take in." She said.
"So after hearing all this, I want to know. Will you guys help them?" I asked. They were all silent for a while. I could tell they were thinking this over. I did the same thing on the way here. I knew that They were being asked to give up every ting and go to another world not knowing if they would ever come back.
They would be leaving their family's and friends not knowing were they where. I was about to say something when Sierra let out a sigh. "Ok I will help. I mean it is to fins their friend right." Sierra said. I looked up at Kyle and Emily. They looked at each other and nodded.
"For the record I am only coming so you don't have all the fun River." Emily said. "This better be fun then." Kyle said. Then WE all turned around facing Flame. "Well are you going to help." I nodded. "We all agree to help you find your friends." I said. "Thank you very much." Ember said happily.
We smiled. Then I notice the wind starting to pick up. The trees were moving with the wind and the leaf's were falling off. Then the ground started to shake. And we all dropped to the floor. "What is happening!" Emily yelled. I stood up and saw a hole open up in the middle of the park.
When every thing stopped. Ember and Flame where standing next to it. "Last chance. Are you all certain you want o help out?" Flame asked. we all just nodded. We walked up to the whole and we could see another world on the other side.
I turned to Sierra and said. "Would my twin care to go first." She smiled and walked threw. Then after a while Kyle and Emily stepped threw as well. Before I walked in a looked at Ember and Flame. "See you both on the other side." I said. I then walked threw. But soon after I did I felt my bones snap and reform. And my body began to change. I wasn't able to help it I let out a scream and passed out.
Author: "So here is the third chapter. I am sorry if it is a little long or not understandable. My friends all typed this one up with me this time. Since their names where used I thought it was fair to let them have their say. I wish they could be here tonight but sadly they stayed to catch the school foot ball game. So yeah hope you like it. Please leave a Review or comment. It does help me get better. And please be honest i dont care how hurtful it is.
