So, I have a little favour to ask of you guys... if you read this story and find it awesome enough to review, please check out ThePeregrine's story "The Superficial World of the Supernaturally Gifted 2" I'm sure you'll love it too...and please review it so she'll keep writing. She deleted her other story and I don't want her to do the same for this one. Thx :)
So, anywayz, I'm going to start a little ongoing poll until the end of this story.
What should I write next? (I can write either 2/3 while doing 1)
1. HHNFLAMS pairings oneshot series (title - "If Only") you guys can suggest pairings
2. A Step Up/Clique crossover (title - "My Own Step") starring Dylan Marvil
3. An LXD/Zoom/Sky High/Clique crossover
The group found themselves inside the cave once more. The girls looked very uncomfortable, and the boys only slightly less so. Only Anala and Dylan seemed happy about where they were.
"You live…in this…dump?" Massie asked, wrinkling her nose.
Anala ignored her, gesturing for everyone to sit down wherever they could find a spot.
"Landon. Please continue." She brushed a wisp of white-blonde hair back and settled comfortably onto the floor."
"I wasn't thinking of dragging everyone into this, but Massie and Claire insisted that I couldn't leave. They told me they'd stay and fight."
Anala cast an amused glance at the girls, and Massie couldn't help but think how uncannily alike the expression in her eyes and Landon's were.
There was a brief silence, then they heard the scuffle of footsteps drawing near outside the cluster of boulders. A bright, yellow glow came through the small crack and a sizzle of steam hissed through.
Landon and Anala rose simultaneously, and stood back to back. One side of the room was bathed in a silver glow, and the other side in a slightly darker grey sheen. Derrick crept to the entrance of the cave, his arm stretched out threateningly, and he pushed open the boulder that formed the entrance.
There was a shout and two figures tumbled onto the floor. Derrick's left hand was trembling, and he slowly backed away from the other boy.
"Cam?"
He spun around and faced Claire, a gleam in his eyes.
"So, can I join the party?"
Anala ducked behind Landon in her attempt to stay hidden, but Cam noticed her and stepped sideways, following her.
"Who's this?"
Derrick placed a hand on Cam's shoulder.
"Hey, man. What are you doing here?"
Cam smirked in Dylan's direction, and she squirmed uncomfortably.
"A certain little redhead let it spill that she was going somewhere secret tonight, and I thought I'd follow. So, now that I'm here, why don't you all explain?"
Massie cast a frantic glance at Landon, then grabbed him by the hand.
"Okay, maybe this is getting a little out of control…"
"Ya think?" asked Claire snarkily.
"…but he can't do us any harm, right? If he doesn't tell anyone?"
Dylan came a bit closer, looking worriedly at Landon.
"Hey, I'm really, really, sorry I let that slip. It's all my fault. I mean, it's not like we have a choice now, right?"
Landon smiled coldly.
"There's always a choice."
Cameron took a step forward, his eyes blazing and his posture rigid.
"So what are you going to do now, Landon? Kill me for stumbling in on your little soiree?"
Anala took a step forward too. She stared Cam straight in the eye and he recoiled slightly.
"We won't kill you. This girl here seems too fond of you." She cast a withering glance at Massie.
"Awesome. Then it's settled." Cam sat down on the ground and crossed his legs, leaning back nonchantly.
"Whoa, hold it there. Are we going to tell him about this or not?" questioned Derrick doubtfully.
The silence lengthened and everyone stared uncomfortably at the floor.
"I don't see any harm in doing so, unless he's an enemy, or he plans on telling the whole world." Muttered Anala.
"He's no enemy." Massie assured her.
"But I wouldn't guarantee that he'll keep it to himself…" countered Landon.
Cameron's palms ignited at the same time Anala's hand started to glow. Claire held out her palms, where a few sharp shards of broken ice formed, and Dylan's eyes flashed as she retaliated with a handful of thorns.
Landon and Derrick were thrown backwards as a bright light exploded in the midst of ice, fire, moonlight and thorns. It began to grow around the four of them, emitting an earsplitting crash as it exploded. Landon barely had enough time to shield himself, Derrick and Massie from the blast.
Everybody leapt back simultaneously, Landon on one side of the room flanked by Derrick, Anala, and Claire, and Dylan and Cam on the other. Massie wandered in between, unsure of where she belonged.
"What was that?" Dylan forced out in a shaky voice.
Derrick studied them curiously.
"Cam, Claire and Dylan are all elementals, but Anala…?"
"Moonlight?" murmured Massie.
"Well, if you consider light an element, it could sort of work, right?" Cam seemed skeptical.
"Yeah," said Claire, "what exactly did that explosion do?"
Dylan shrugged.
"Guess we'll have to find out, then."
Review! Remember to vote on the "next story poll" and tell me whether you reviewed and read ThePeregrine's wonderful story :).
