Mia

Once Cole had stepped up to Dani everybody started fighting. I was reluctant to do so, but I need the training, we all do.

I had my trident in my hand, while Raidon pulled out his lightning sword.

Immediately he swung towards the left at me, I blocked it with my trident luckily.

When it hit against my trident I could feel the electricity tremble through the metal. This kind of pairing doesn't make sense, electricity doesn't do anything to water, it's neutral. Unless Cole knows something he shouldn't.

Raidon backed off after swinging at least five times, now it was my turn. Before he could swing again I turn my trident sideways and did a right dodge, ending up behind him I put the pole of my trident against his neck. It happened so quick he let out a burst of electricity from shock.

It shot upward to the ceiling and caused a giant sound of thunder to shake the room. He waved his sword upward, if I didn't move then it would have pierced right through me.

I dropped my trident and did the only thing I knew how to dodge backward: gymnastics. I did a back handspring and landed a few feet away from him. Before I could balance myself properly, he swept up my weapon. Now he had two things to use against me, besides electricity.

I had to think about this strategically, suddenly a blizzard shaded him from view. Cole. I used this to my advantage and sneakily went up behind Raidon.

He was one step ahead of me and turned around, quickly grabbing my arm and put my trident against my neck this time.

"How original." I said under my breath, before I squirted water out from the hand he was holding and into his eyes. The blizzard has quieted down by now, so I could see perfectly how Raidon had many bolts of lightning gathering around him.

He had his eyes closed due to my water, I was about to take my trident when a burst of electricity shot up towards the ceiling again. This time it took the power from the room, we were left in complete darkness.

I had my hand on my trident, until another hand took my arm yet again and pulled me close.

I could feel my hair getting frizzy and standing on end as he put his lips to mine. We dropped our weapons quickly out of shock of what we had just done.

Then the lights came on again and we were still kissing. Suddenly I could feel everyone's eyes on us, but I didn't want it to end.

I could hear the sound of "oooooohhhhhh Raidon and Mist sitting in a tree" Being called out towards us. It's amazing how that stupid chant had survived for so many years. I pulled back from him and looked around. EVERYONE was staring.

"I don't think this is the time for that kids." Cole called out.

Raidon laughed nervously and picked up my trident. I could hear Jade and Iris giggling as I took it from his hands, sending a spark of electricity up my spine. Now I know that my curls didn't survive all of that.

"Umm, I have to use the bathroom." I said as I started walking towards the door.

As I walked past Dani I could hear her snickering. So I stuck my finger out, then I heard a satisfying zzzttt and a "You shocked me!" from her.

When I walked into the bathroom my hair looked like a pencil it was so straight. I tried to pat it down, but that only got me shocked. So I poured water on my head, it wilted back down.

I walked back to the training room with my hair looking like a mop in a ponytail.

"Okay, now that we are all here we can have a break to recover." Cole told us. Dani and I both walked as fast as we could to each other without looking suspicious.

We walked towards the corner of the room and then squealed to each other quietly.

"Guess who's got a boyfriend?" Dani told me.

"Us!" I answered. "So how was it?" I asked her

"What?"

"It's obvious you kissed!" I exclaimed.

"Really? How? I thought we did pretty good with that blizzard fire combo."

"I know you and I could tell there was something you wanted to hide, I saw that much in between breaths of fighting Raidon," I told her.

"And between breaths of kissing." she told me smirking.

"Pssshhhh, what are you talking about? We didn't even stop to take a breath in the first place!" I laughed.

"You are sick." she said, laughing also. Our watches started to beep, indicating that it was time for lunch.

"Food!" Dani and I both exclaimed together.

We ran to the dining room and found our food already on the table.

Dani and I dove straight into eating. Today I got crawfish, while Dani received _. It looked extremely gross, but she claimed that it was amazing.

About halfway through eating, a man came out of the door to talk to us.

"Today, I'm going to explain a little bit more to you. I am sure you all have been wondering when and where these scientists are, and how you guys came to be. We'll start there. When our scientists made the serum, we created a backup-backup plan incase something happened to the antiserum." He continued.

"That's you. We grouped volunteers together from all over the world and injected them with the EC9 to create you all before the human race can be affected by the serum. Many children did not receive the powers you have. At first we thought you teens would show signs before or shortly after one year of age if evenly possible, since there was a fifty percent chance.

"We convinced many different countries to let you move here to Colorado. In a small, not heard of town to attract no attention. That's why your parents, Mist had to move here. Your mom claimed she got promoted, but we actually convinced her that you were going to show signs." He told me.

My mom had only told me stories of these things called Elementals, I never knew that she anticipated me to be one.

"Now, I'm going to tell you where the scientists are now and where they released the serum. They released the serum in China due to its hugely populated area. The scientists then moved to Australia, because when exposed directly to the serum you have a seventy eight percent chance of death. Of course the scientists don't want to die yet, they want to see the outcome from afar. So first you go to Australia to get the antiserum, but of course there are some obstacles that the scientists have set up. But you have to look normal, because the scientists are hidden in plain sight at a 'shirt making' company. Once you get inside their building you have to be sneaky about getting the serum. It's locked inside a safe room."

"How come you can't get it yourself if you know so much about it?" Gale asked.

"The bad scientists are too powerful, who knows what kind of technology they have created in the span of ten years? Only Elementals are strong enough to get past their safety precautions." The man answered.

"How do you know all of this?" Iris asked sweetly.

"We have planted a spy to look over their plans and contact us."

"Who's to say that there isn't a spy here?" I piped up. That seemed to get the man to think.

"I am sure we don't have a spy, we haven't gotten a new scientist in years." He reassured us.

"You said that we would have to look normal, does that mean we have to wear something other than this uniform?" Jade asked.

"Yes, we have gotten a variety of clothes for you to choose from today." He told us.

The boys didn't seem too excited about this, but most of the girls were.

After lunch we were taken to a room that looked a lot like a store the way clothes were hanging up on racks.

I immediately went to the athletic section and I picked up some navy blue leggings. Then I went to the blue jean section and picked out some shorts. The shirt I decided to wear was a maroon color that was nice and loose.

I still needed shoes to wear so I chose black flats, they're simple, but not too dressy.

When I was walking to get another outfit planned I thought about the last time I went clothes shopping.

It was with my mom, only a few months ago. We were walking around the mall looking for one of my favorite stores. Mom and I were talking about how short I am and how pants only fit me in the waist, not the legs.

"Hey, Mia!" Astrid called out. "When was the last time we did this?" She said, practically reading my mind.

"I have no idea." I said putting down a shirt I was looking at.

"Do you think we can come here anytime?"

"I don't know, why?" I asked her.

"It reminds me of the real world and my life before all of this happened." She answered quietly. Then Jade called her from two rows down and so she left to go help her.

When everyone had got their clothes picked out we put them in our closets and went back to the training room.

"Today, we are going to be doing the simulations, but a little differently." Cole told us.

"How?" Someone asked from behind me.

"Well," he said pausing and walking over to the chairs nearby. "You're going to sit right here and we will give you an injection." He told us calmly.

"Will the injection hurt?" I heard Jade say from beside me.

"No." He answered shortly. There were eight chairs that we all sat in that were put in a circular glass chamber. The chairs looked a lot like doctors tables, but it was more comfy. All the chairs were spread out very far from each other.

We had to wait while the nurses and doctors prepared the liquid. We didn't get to watch them, even though I would like to see what is going to pump through my insides.

I sat in the second section, Dani was sitting in the first. I watched with my head turned sideways as she was given a red liquid that looked like cough syrup. They hooked the wires to her temples, side of her neck, and wrist. All where your pulse is, excluding your temple of course.

It took a few minutes to kick in after she fell asleep.

Her eyes started to dart around quickly, and her lips formed words I didn't understand because they were said so quietly. Then she moved her hands in a ball shape creating a fireball. It was a good thing she was in a glass container, or we would all be fried.

Dani was creating a massive "danger do not touch" sign by putting fire all around her. She even started to combust into flames herself. She seemed really panicky, almost like she couldn't use her powers.

She finally gave up on that attempt and started to punch and kick, she seemed to be attacking something. Whatever it was, she seemed reluctant.

After another twenty punches and different physical harm moves she opened her eyes wide. The doctor by her seemed to nod in understanding. They were watching whatever she was going through.

Before I knew it my nurse was hooking me up to the computer and injecting the serum. I tried as hard as I could to keep my eyes open, they were too heavy.

I opened my eyes and found that I was in a desert biome at night. I looked around and nothing else seemed to be happening, but I felt unbelievably thirsty. I started searching for cactus, until I saw a light in the distance.

I ran to the light, only to find that it was a person turned around with their back to me. The light they were holding seemed vaguely familiar.

Then suddenly they turned around. It was a boy, he had red hair and was tall, much taller than me. He was about twenty or so and smirked at me. I was about to ask him if he knew where water was, but then I noticed the flame in his hands.

The boy moved his hand out fast and caught mine. The burning sensation made me scream in surprise. It didn't hurt because my hand was drenched in water, when the boy noticed that he morphed into something else.

We were now in a snowy biome. I was still holding the boy's hand, but the flame wasn't there anymore, now it felt as cold as ice.

The water that had prevented me from burning was now frozen. Our hands were frozen together, he smirked evilly at me. I started to panic, he knew that.

He kicked at me, but missed, an inch away from my stomach.

I used our hands stuck together as an advantage and bent it towards his head by taking my other hand and pressing against his elbow joint, causing him to hit his head.

He barely stood conscious and yet he kept fighting.

The boy didn't think his actions through and tripped me from the front. I flipped over into my back, but I took him with me.

A blizzard suddenly appeared and whipped my hair across my face. I couldn't see a thing from all the pelting snow. I knew where his general direction was because our hands were stuck together, so I rolled oppositely from him. I heard a crack come from his upper arm.

I didn't want to hurt him. I didn't mean to, if I was him then I wouldn't have gone first, yet he did. The boy let out a small gasp and then let go of my hand. I rolled away and got up from the ground.

That's when I noticed we were on a mountain side, a very small area that's flat, then there's a giant drop that would kill me if I fell.

Of course, I wouldn't actually die right? This never crossed my mind during this whole fight. I was terrified as I desperately tried to find the boy again so he couldn't hurt me. I didn't notice the heat that radiated off of my body, making the snow melt around me from the ground. Turning to water.

I made the water rise up and create a wall around me. Then the heat became unbearable and the star rushed over top of me.

When I woke up Dani had backed up away from me with her hand steaming slightly and water drenching me.

My nurse held an empty bucket in her hand outside the door to my glass chamber, while everyone stared at me.
