LIES
This story is based off McFly's music video "Lies", hope you enjoy it! I do not own Just My Luck, or McFly. I only own my characters Elena and Holly.
Chapter 3 (Elena's P.O.V.)
"Not sure, Holly is usually the one who comes up with the plans, I'm just the artillery." Dougie gave me a confused look. See, I may look normal; long brown hair, hazel eyes, tan complexion, but once you see my abilities I'm anything but normal.
"Why don't we stop somewhere to rest?" Holly spoke up. "You guys look like you could use a rest, and if I use any more of my abilities I won't be much use."
"So that still leaves the question, 'Where to?'" Harry said turning to face us.
"Keep driving straight, I'm sure we can find a good are for Elena to build us a shelter." Holly said looking back at me.
"Sure." Harry turned back in the driver seat and began driving. Dougie did to but only after he took a quick glance at me. What were my shorts to short? Was my cleavage showing too much? Did I have something on my face? Wait…that's just dirt from wearing that stupid helmet.
Harry didn't drive much longer. He eventually had to pull over behind two boulders that were big enough to hide the van, than we all got out.
"Alright, so what do we need to do to help?" Tom asked as he began to pick up some sticks. I walked over to him and took the sticks away from him and threw them on the ground.
"You guys can just relax for a second, I got this." The boys all looked at one another and shrugged. Holly laughed at their reaction. I cracked my knuckles and stretched my legs. "Alright, one shelter to fit four boys and two girls coming up." I slammed my right foot down on the ground and three boulders, which looked like walls popped out of the ground. I kicked one of the boulders that was hiding the van, and knocked a piece of the boulder off. I waved my hand from the piece of boulder to the three walls and it laid on top of them to make a ceiling. Once I was happy with my work, Holly and I entered.
"Whoa…" The boys said together. I turned to look at them and found them staring at my work with their mouths hanging open.
"You guys comin' in?" I asked. They immediately snapped back to the real world and entered the shelter. We all sat in a circle; Harry, Dougie, Tom, Holly, me, and Danny.
"It'd be nice if we had a fire." Danny said as he pulled his legs up to his chest. I punched the ground and a circle of rocks appeared in the middle of the circle.
"Whoa!" The boys yelled again. I snapped my fingers and a small fire appeared in the circle of rocks.
"Next time, man up." I said to Danny, he just glared at me.
"Wicked." Dougie said making me look up to see him giving me a small smile, I smiled back.
"So, were you guys in that fortress?" Harry asked. Holly and I nodded.
"How'd you end up in there?" Danny asked.
"Oh we decided it'd be a great experience for us." I said sarcastically.
"Elena!" Holly said. I dropped my head and began tracing symbols in the sand. "We were captured and taken from our home." She explained.
"What were they doing there?" Tom asked her. He actually looked really sorry.
"Terrosama, our home land, was at war with Queen Irene." Holly continued.
"Who's Queen Irene?" Dougie asked.
"The witch who kept us as her prisoners at Darkastle." I answered for Holly. He looked at me through the flames of the fire.
"How long have you been there?" He asked me, even though the question could have been answered by Holly.
"Seven years."
"Damn." Harry said underneath his breath. I continued to trace symbols into the sand but I could feel Dougie's eyes on me.
"Why did they capture you guys?" Danny asked.
"Queen Irene wanted special soldiers with powers in her army." Holly paused and she made the block of ice melt so she could put the water in her leather pouch. She put Danny's scarf near the fire so it would dry off and she continued. "She found out Elena and I were elementalists so when her soldiers ran into us on the battlefield, they captured us."
"Why didn't you fight them off like you did with that robot?" Harry asked.
"Well, then, we didn't know how to control our elemental powers that well, and Elena was forbidden to use hers."
"How come?" Danny asked.
"The elders didn't think it was wise for me to play with fire after I burned down one of the churches." I answered with a little annoyance in my voice. Okay, so I was a bit harsh with Danny.
"But you just proved you can control your powers by building this shelter and making a fire." Dougie piped in making me look at him.
"That's only a simple trick, if I use any fire abilities someone could get seriously hurt." He continued to look at me and I looked at him.
"But, I'm sure you practiced while you were in…" Tom started.
"Darkastle." Holly filled in for him. He smiled at Holly; she looked away with a hint of blush.
"Yeah I did, but I was always using the fire against them and then they would chain me up and put a metal helmet on me." I looked back to the ground. These guys…they don't know us so why do they care?
"That's so messed up!" I looked to see Dougie speaking. "They shouldn't have treated you like an animal!" I was surprised to hear him defend me. I looked straight into his eyes and couldn't speak for a little bit.
"Thanks…" We all fell silent. I moved my direction from Dougie to the flames, Danny retrieved his scarf and put it around his neck, Harry laid back on the sand, Dougie played with the objects in his gage, and Tom ad Holly both looked out at the beach.
"Why don't you guys come with us? To Terrosama." Holly said breaking the silence. The boys all looked at each other.
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" I asked her.
"Yes, you saw what Tom can do! And I'm sure you guys also have abilities." She said looking at the boys and they nodded.
"Same abilities as Tom, but I think he's got it down better than us." Harry answered as he sat up.
"Elena, they could help us with the war!" Holly said to me with excitement written all over her face. I looked down at the ground once more and thought to myself.
"Great, so tomorrow we head to Terrosama!" Tom announced making me look at him. The guys nodded and Holly smiled. "Alright then, time to get some shut eye; we got a big day ahead of us." He said as he laid back in the sand. The others followed his actions, I on the other hand, took a quick glance at Dougie as he started to drift into a deep sleep and I suddenly remembered something I once asked my grandmother.
'Grandma, how do you know when you fall in love?'
'You'll know when he comes and proves it.'
I barely remembered that conversation before, so why am I remembering it now? I shrugged and soon fell asleep too.
