Chapter 5 (Elena's P.O.V.)
I woke up the next morning, unable to believe how I slept a whole night since I've been in that hellhole back at the Darkastle. I sat up slowly and looked outside to see the sun shining on the sand. I got up and whipped the sand off me and the first thing I noticed about the others was the fact Holly and Tom were huddled together and hugging. Wonder what happened last night. I shrugged and made my way outside into the sunlight and stretched my arms.
"Aw man does that sun feel good!" I said to myself.
"Sure does." I stopped stretching and noticed Dougie was sitting near the edge of the water.
"How long have you been up?" I asked as I made my way over to him. He shrugged and looked out to the sea.
"Couldn't sleep." I stood next to him.
"Ha, I was the exact opposite." I said in a bragging tone. He looked up at me and smiled.
"You gonna sit down?" I looked down to the water that hit the toe of his combat boots.
"Uh…water's not my favorite thi-NG!" He pulled me down, making me scream the last bit of my sentence, and now I was sitting next to him.
"I insist." He said with a smile. I turned my attention to the water and watched as the water came near my feet making me tuck them into me. He started laughing. "Relax." I took a deep breath and let it out just as more water splashed my feet and I noticed a spark come up. I immediately jumped up and took a step back from the water. Man I hope he didn't see that spark.
"I…uhh…think I'll stand." He started laughing again and stood up too.
"What's wrong with water?" He said as he dusted the sand off his pants.
"Water, plus my powers, equals not good."
"You have more powers?" He looked really interested instead of scared. That's new usually people are scared of my abilities, besides Holly.
"Just another element." I turned on my heel and walked back to our mini cave.
"Well what element?" He yelled and he followed me.
"Lightning, I can't control it yet, and it acts up near water." It was true; I don't even like using it because it takes up so much energy.
"Okay, so let me get this straight, your powers are earth control, fire, and lighting." I nodded. "And Holly's powers are ice and water."
"And wind." I corrected him. His eyes widened.
"What can she make tornadoes?" I shrugged.
"Maybe, she never tried. She likes using her ice and water abilities." Suddenly a loud exploding noise came from the van, then Harry and Danny came out coughing with smoke following them.
"What happened?" Tom asked as he and Holly ran out of the cave.
"Something exploded under the…*cough*cough*…hood." Harry said while he waved the smoke out of his face.
"Let me take a look." Tom said as he made his way to the van, and we followed him. "Well this doesn't look good."
"What?" Dougie asked, standing next to him.
"This pip, it's broken!" Tom yelled, kicking the van's tire.
"Hey, hey, calm down. It's just a van." Holly said trying to calm him down and she placed a hand on Tom's shoulder.
"But how will we get to Terrosama?" Tom replied, and he sure got my attention.
"Out of my way!" I yelled pushing between Tom and Holly to the hood of the van. I saw the broken pip and where the pipe was once attached to another pipe. "I can fix it!" I took my fingerless glove off my right hand.
"How?" Harry asked.
"Like this." I grabbed the pipe and the boys screamed.
"It's hot!" Danny yelled and he pulled my arm away from the engine. I ignored him and pulled my arm out of his grip. I grabbed the pipe again and my hand heated with warm energy, making the metal pip melt. I grabbed the other pipe and stuck it into the melted metal and the pipes melted together so they were one again.
"Whoa…" Harry, Tom, and Danny said together.
"Wicked." Dougie said. I turned to him and looked him straight in the eyes. He smiled and I smiled back as I closed the hood.
"Danny, try starting the van." He nodded and turned the van on. It sounded bran spanking new!
"Brilliant Elena!" Tom said as he climbed into the back of the van with Holly.
"You're a life saver Elena." Harry said as he got in the passenger seat. A smile appeared on my face from the comments. I made my way to the back of the van where Dougie was.
"You're just fool of surprises aren't you?" I shrugged and climbed into the van and Dougie followed me, closing the doors of the van behind him.
"So this Terrosama, how far is it?" Danny asked as he pulled out from behind the boulders.
"It's about five hours, north from here." I said sitting down across from Holly who was sitting next to Tom. Man I could already see them as an old couple.
"Oh well that's not far." Dougie said sarcastically. Just as he was about to sit down, Danny ran over a bump and caused Dougie to fall on top of me, then Tom, Holly, and Harry started laughing.
"Dougie, get off!" I could feel a blush appear on my face, you would to! Dougie was literally lying on top of me until he pushed up off the van floor and he looked straight into my eyes.
"Wow, your eyes…they're amazing." My eyes widened because I defiantly didn't see that coming. Wait, what's so amazing about my eyes? They're just green and there's a ring of orange, or maybe it was light brown, circling my pupil. I always thought my eyes were weird looking.
"Thanks…" I found myself looking into his own blue eyes; they seemed so…kind and lost.
"Hey Doug, are you gonna get up? I think you might be suffocating her." We both looked over to Danny and man did he look pissed.
Mate, what's your problem?" Harry slapped Danny in the arm to get his attention.
"Well somebody has to tell me where the place is!" He yelled back. Dougie was watching the two as he slowly got off me.
"Danny chill, I can tell you where it is." Holly said, patting Danny's shoulder for him to calm down, and he did. He started driving again and Holly told him the directions to Terrosama. I noticed Tom looked a bit confused, but I didn't let it bother me. Honestly, I was too busy thinking about a blue-eyed blond. He was at the very back of the van, playing with the objects hanging from his gage.
About three hours later, I finally got the guts to move to Dougie.
"What's up with Danny?" He looked at me and then to Danny and then back to me and shrugged.
"Don't know, guess he's just jealous Tom and I are talking to the pretty girls."
"Oh, wait Tom's talking to Holly, who're you taking to?" He burst out laughing and everybody looked over their shoulders to us. I shrugged and they went back to whatever they were doing, in Tom and Holly's case; flirting. "Can you be any louder?" He finally managed to stop laughing.
"Sorry, but I was talking about you." I gave him a look like he was insane. "What, you don't think you're pretty?"
"No! Lots of guys are scared of me! So I pretty much thought it was because I was ugly." This time he gave me the look like I was insane.
"Are you crazy?" I shook my head and he sighed. "They're obviously running away because you're intimidating."
"Hey!"
"No…just because of your powers."
"Oh."
"And you're pretty brave…and you're beautiful." I looked away and could feel my cheeks heat up.
"Thanks, you're probably the first guy to tell me that." He put his hands behind his head and he leaned against the door.
"Those guys are just wusses because they don't have the courage to tell you the obvious truth." He closed his eyes but I knew he was still awake.
"Thanks Doug." I scooted next to him and rested my head on his shoulder. About five minutes later he put his right hand around my shoulder. Then we both slowly fell asleep.
About two hours later, I woke up to Holly shaking me knee and she had a huge grin on her face.
"Elena wake up! We're home!" I shot up and looked out the window and saw Terrosama.
"Dougie get out of the way!" Tom yelled in a joking way. We climbed out of the van, along with Harry and Danny, and examined my home. It was exactly the same. There was a huge stone wall around the ceramic town, and a huge wooden gate right in the middle of the wall. The buildings were still tall even though I was older and taller.
"This is where you live?" Harry asked as he continued to stare at the city in awe, and then Danny whistled.
"Come on Elena, let's find your parents!" Holly said as she grabbed my hand and began pulling me to the gate.
"Come on guys1" I yelled to the guys. They snapped out of their daze and ran after us.
"Name yourself." The guard in leather with bits and pieces of metal covering his body commanded.
"Elena, daughter of King Aries of Terrosama."
"Holly, daughter of the deceased King Bernard of Aguaria."
"And these are our friends." The guard took a good look at us and then he waved his hand causing the other guards to open the gates.
"Okay I thought this place was amazing outside, but now that I see this place in the inside, I have to say this place is wicked!" Dougie said as we entered the city, Holly started laughing.
"Now I wonder how your parents will react when we bring four boys back to the castle." Holly said making me freeze in my steps. I totally forgot about how my parents will react!!
