In fifteen minutes, they all met and sat in a circle. Patricia and Jerome were not on speaking terms with Nina and Fabian yet and Alfie and Amber were caught in between. Fabian and Nina were talking as usual, like best friends do, Alfie and Amber were trying to talk, but were nervous around each other. Both couldn't understand why.
'Why does Amber make me feel weird? I mean it's only Amber. It's not like there's Halle berry in front of me, although she is hot, but still. My stomach feels like I have rocks in them when I'm around Amber. Oh, god. I think I like Amber Millington! Maybe I always have. Man, this is jacked up! I never realized how pretty she looks.'Alfie thought, arguing with himself. Amber was going through the same dilemma.
'Oh, come on. It's only Alfie. Although…I don't know, he may score a 9.5 on my cute lip chart tops! He's so funny and sweet, though. I even find the potato chip thing kind of a turn on. Ohmigosh! I like Alfie. Have I always liked him? Yeah, I like him. I like him a lot. That Jeremy guy is yesterday's news. It's all about Alfie now.'Amber thought as she came to her discovery.
Patricia and Jerome were sitting in the silence until Jerome had the impulse to break it. Jerome smirked that familiar 'you-know-you-want-me-so-worship-me' smirk, and Patricia gave him a 'you-better-stay-the-fuck-away-from-me-before-I-ki ll-you' look.
"Hey babe," Jerome greeted flirtatiously. He slid an arm around her.
Patricia growled and slapped his arm away. The nerve!
"Don't call me that! Touch me again, and I tear your arm off! Comprende?"
Jerome loved getting Patricia all worked up. This is what he wanted to do, and they both got an adrenaline rush from arguing with each other. Patricia liked shooting Jerome down. Jerome still remained close to Patricia. He just wanted to pester her a bit. Patricia glared, sensing he wasn't done with his daily 'annoy Patricia' fix. She had to pretend to be annoyed for effect.
"Wanna make out?" Jerome asked, while playing a lock of Patricia's hair. For some reason, Patricia let him.
'Pull away, Patricia! Damnit, why does he do this to me? It sucks when Jerome has all of this control over me and I can't do anything! God, my life stinks. Nina will probably rub it in. Little Miss Goody-Two-Shoes. She sickens me sometimes. Oh, well. I'll deal with it. If I can deal with Jerome then Nina's a piece of cake.'Patricia thought, racking her brain for a comeback.
"What are you in the mood for? A black eye or a broken nose? Or how about I give you both?" she growled. Jerome smirked. It drove Patricia crazy when he did that, because he knew he was getting to her. Thank God Jerome didn't notice it.
'Man, she's hot when she's angry. I love it when she's like that. It…I don't know…kind of turns me on. Ok, I really need to sleep now. Someone spiked my water.'
"Stop undressing me with your eyes. Why can't you see you love me? I know you want me."
"Oh, really. Then in that case, remind me to gouge my eyes out later!" Patricia retorted. She smirked, satisfied with her comeback.
'That shut up him up. He's so hot—Shut up Williamson!'Patricia thought as she sat in silence.
'Oh, she so wants me, but the only difference is I want her just as bad. I WILL make her mine. Once I put on the ol' Clarke charm, she'll so be snagged. You just wait, Patricia. You'll crack sooner or later. I have to have her!'Jerome thought with a smirk.
Fabian and Nina were talking as well. They were best friends but neither knew about tonight's events. Nina mostly questioned Fabian about why he called them out so early in the morning.
"Yeah, so why are we here so early? Couldn't we have just talked about in the lounge?" asked Nina.
Fabian shrugged, "Yeah, but I thought it would be more secretive this way. I'm sleepy too, but I won't be able to sleep not knowing what's wrong. Even though, we did talk in the lounge, there would be one problem."
Fabian and Nina thought it over before a familiar name hit them, "Victor!"
Nina and Fabian laughed at how they could think of the same person. Fabian marvelled at how beautiful Nina looked when the moonlight hit her at the right angle, but who was he kidding? She was gorgeous all the time. Nina thought Fabian was a sweet little boy in a teenager's body. He had that child's innocence to him. He has easy to talk to and always found ways to make her laugh. Be it crashing into a flagpole or accidentally riding his bike down a flight of steps. He was her shoulder to cry on, and they shared each other's darkest secrets. Nothing no one else knew, and they liked it that way.
'God, she's beautiful. Especially the way the moonlight hits her. I wish I could tell her so bad. Well, you know what? Time to prove Pretty Boy over there wrong. I'll tell Nina tonight and risk it.'Fabian though with a resolve in his heart.
'Oh my God. I think I may like my best friend. I always have. I'm such an idiot. Fabian has always been under my nose and I didn't see it. Instead what do I do? Date a serial sex freak, and get cheated on.'Nina thought, regretfully.
Everyone was trying to comprehend what was going on between them. Just trying to process their thoughts. Even Amber, who was super-ditzy, knew something was wrong. Thoughts were jumbled around when a voice was heard behind them. Everyone screamed and Fabian whipped around to find Joy beaming at them. (A/N: joy and Patricia aren't best friends in this)
"Hey. Why are all of you out at this hour?" Joy asked. When someone was out at 3 in the morning, something was fishy. Unless…
Fabian replied, "You're smart, so can you answer something for us, right?"
"Of course. I'll try to the best of my ability," Joy replied, happy to help. "So, what's going on here?"
Patricia grew exasperated with joy and her psychobabble. She wanted to get away from Jerome, not because she didn't like him, but because he was tormenting her. He did strange things to her.
Patricia explained in her own way. "We were sleeping and we wake up at the exact second. Is that normal?"
"No, it's not. The odds of six people waking up at the exact same second are odd," Joy answered while thinking thoughtfully.
Patricia crossed her arms and scowled, "Ok, you're smart. Fix it. Then I can go back to sleep like a normal person."
'Maybe it's time to be truthful. I can't keep them in the dark about it anymore.'
Joy took a deep breath and spoke for what she had to say would be life-changing. They would question the validity of her sanity, but right now, that didn't matter. She knew actually what happened, but Joy had to confirm it.
"Um, were there like any peculiar dreams or premonitions involved?"
"Actually, yeah there were." Nina answered. She paused to explain, trying to remember the events of her dream. Nina explained, "I had a vision of water. Clear water. I was splashing around. Just admiring how beautiful it was, that is, until a wave of water hit me. The scary part is I could control the water and even though the water hit me, I was dry. That's when I woke up."
Fabian's face looked like he just had an epiphany. Like he was starting to remember his dream too.
"Yeah, now that you mention it, I had a freaky dream too."
Joy looked interested at this point and urged him to continue on.
"Mine was of a meadow. It was big and green and I was lying in the grass. The air smelled nice, actually. There were flowers everywhere. Pink ones. White ones. All the colours you could think of. Out of nowhere these thick green vines were shooting out and they surrounded everything and when they left everything was messed up. All of the animals were gone and of all the plants died. There was a dead rose and I touched it. When I touched it, the rose glowed and it started to bloom again. It's like I gave it life again. I snapped out of it and woke up too," Fabian explained.
Joy thought about for a while, and then asked Jerome to explain his dream. Jerome was clearly bored and didn't want to talk but Joy's glare made him.
'Jesus Joy! I'll talk! Just stop with the eyes. I can actually feel them burning through me, but they're not as hot as Patricia's…Oh shit! I can't get my mind off of her. I hate this so much.'Jerome thought as Joy waited for him to talk.
"I dreamt of something too. I was surrounded by flames. Usually, it would be scary but this time I wasn't scared. I put my hand on the fire and it didn't burn. Like I could tame the fire. I controlled the fire. The fire didn't control me", Jerome explained as he turned to Patricia and smirked at her, "but then again…I can control anything and fire's hot. Just like me."
"Oh, please…" Nina muttered as her breath as she rolled her eyes. There was tension in the air now and Joy figured Patricia should go next.
"Patricia? How about you?"
"Well, my dream was kind of strange Darkness. It was pitch black. The darkness wanted to envelope me but it didn't. The darkness allowed itself to be controlled by me. Then I saw myself at a mirror. I wanted to touch the mirror and when I was close to touching it, the mirror shattered into pieces. The sound of the glass shattering woke me up," she explained, reluctantly. Fabian was clearly fascinated.
"Wow that was a deep dream," Fabian said.
Amber bounced up and down wanting to tell them badly about her dream.
'Amber! Shut up, already. God. With Miss Motor-Mouth going, I can just forget bed. The pillow wouldn't be so bad now…to suffocate her with, and then sleep on!' Patricia thought while crossing her arms.
"Me next! Me next!" Amber squealed with excitement.
"Ok, Amber, your turn."
'You hate me, don't you? What did I do to deserve this? Why? Why all the time me?'Jerome thought while running a hand through his hair. He was starting to get a headache.
Amber smiled and starting explaining. Well…more like rambling, "I saw the sky and fluffy clouds and I was walking on them. I wonder they feel like. Then one of the clouds had a hole and I fell through it. I was falling, falling, falling and I was screaming really loud. I was surprised when I didn't touch the ground or break my neck or something. Ouch that hurts. I heard a flapping noise and looked around if it was a seagull. I hate seagulls. Those birds are so mean. I sprouted wings and I could fly. They were white. I like white but I like pink better. I love PINK! Wonder if I could fly to a mall...I should try."
'She's even hot when she rambles. Ok, am I really that lovesick?'thought Alfie. 'She's…kinda…cute.'
Alfie was interrupted by Fabian calling out his name.
"Alfie!"
"Huh? What?" he asked, kind of dazed.
"It's your turn, dude," Fabian replied, eyeing Alfie with a hint of suspicion. "You ok, Alf?"
"Yeah, I'm good. Thanks, man."
"Anyway, mine is similar to Jerome's only I saw weird electric currents and then I was outside. It was raining and I was struck by lightning. It didn't kill me, surprisingly. Thunder boomed outside and the sound woke me up."
Joy sighed and looked at the six friends in front of her. How could she tell them? Joy looked kind of flustered and paled. Nina was full of concern for Joy by now. Joy looked like she was about to hurl. Joy regained her composure, and she sighed sadly.
She explained, "There's a reason why you all saw these visions. You didn't dream of it. They're memories of your past."
"WHAT?" they all questioned in unison
"I think it's time you knew. I'll tell you."
Fabian and Nina looked scared. Amber cocked her head to one side in confusion. Patricia scowled and crossed her arms, while Jerome and Alfie raised their eyebrows. In fear, the girls scooted over to the guy closest to them. Nina to Fabian, Patricia to Jerome and Amber to Alfie. Jerome was way too confused to set Patricia off. Joy stared at her friends, fear written on their faces. She hated doing this to them. Joy sighed sadly.
"Level with us, Joy. You're creeping us out," Fabian said, trying to remain calm. There were red lights and alarms going off in his head, though.
"Please, Joy. We need to know," Nina pleaded. She couldn't take the waiting anymore.
"Honestly, I didn't wake up and come down here, just to be kept waiting! Talk or I'll get it out of you…one way or another," Patricia threatened, menacingly. She glared at Joy, hard.
"Patricia! We're all tired. Let Joy speak, please!" Nina instructed.
"There you go, again! First, you tell me how to feel, and now you try to control my speech!" Patricia snapped. "You gonna tell me when to breathe now?"
"Patricia, Nina didn't say anything, she just—" Amber started.
"Say anything, and I'll make sure your vocal cords never work again…" Patricia promised, narrowing her eyes at the blond. Jerome decided to step in.
"Ladies, ladies. Relax. There's enough Jerome go around," Jerome said, with one of his cocky grins.
Fabian rolled his eyes, "Yes, the world revolves around you…"
"Glad we see eye to eye on that one, Rutter."
Alfie groaned in frustration, "Obviously sarcasm doesn't ring a bell with you Jerome, does it?"
Soon all six were argued while Joy looked on. Joy rubbed her temples in frustration. She closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose.
'Okay, be reasonable, Joy. Ok, forget being reasonable. I've got to put an end to this now! 3...2…1'
"YOU ALL HAVE SUPERPOWERS!" Jo yelled over the bickering group. Everyone's eyes widened and jaws dropped. Nobody spoke for about 5 minutes. Even Jerome was too shocked to make any smart aleck comebacks.
"W-what?" was all Fabian managed to stammer out. "But how—I—we..."
"Did you zap yourself with an insane ray? Because we're only teenagers, Joy. Superpowers? Come on," Jerome laughed.
'She has just defined the word freak in a new way,'he thought.
"What kind of superpowers are we talking about here?" nina asked. She was still in shock.
Joy smiled like she had everything under control. Patricia's eye was twitching and she blew up.
"JOY! ARE YOU CRAZY? I WAKE UP FOR THIS? WHAT THE HELL! TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON…NOW!" Patricia ranted, and after about 5 minutes, she took a breath deep breath. She was glad to get that out of her system. If only Jerome's situation was that easy…
"As Patricia, um, put it, could you please tell us what's goin' on? I'm just really cranky and snappy right now," Alfie said.
Fabian agreed and nodded, "It's true. He almost tore Jerome's head off for whining."
"Well, you think I like being up at 3 am? Do you really, Fabian?" Jerome asked, narrowing his eyes at the raven-haired teen.
"Jerome? We're roomies, right?"
"Yeah," replied Jerome.
"Then shut up before I rip your face off! I'm pretty sure girls will be running away from you after that!" Alfie snapped.
"Oh, Alfie…I've never heard you yell before, and at Jerome nonetheless. I like it," Patricia said with a smirk.
'And she enjoys my inflicted pain. Sadist… Whoa, where did that come from? I learned something in English. Now I'm scared.'thought Jerome.
"Now I'll explain if you want. I'll verify what I'm saying is the truth. You all have a strange birthmark on your left inner forearm, correct?" Joy asked. Alfie raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, but what does that have do with anything?"
"That birthmark you all have has copious relevance to the current situation," Joy nodded and smiled knowingly. Amber was just plain lost, with Joy's choice of words. What the hell did "copious" mean?
"Huh?"
"Roll up your sleeves and look at the birthmarks and concentrate," Joy instructed.
"Watching paint dry is more interesting," Jerome muttered under his breath. He had just woken up to look at a brown spot on his arm. It has always been there, but how did Joy know, and how come everyone had the same mark?
'Maybe this is another bad dream. Just another bad dream.'
Fabian shrugged, "I don't know, guys. Joy may be right, because of the circumstances. It's creepy how we were all born with the same birthmark. I just want to know if we're actually gifted with kind of powers. It'll be slim, but it's a chance, right?"
"Yeah," Nina replied, agreeing with Fabian.
Everyone rolled up their sleeves. As Joy said, they all had the stranger birthmark. Fabian raised his eyebrow. Nina shot a confused glance at Joy. Patricia and Jerome both glared at Joy, mostly because of their boredom. Amber looked surprised at the strange brown mark on her arm like today was the first day she saw it and Alfie had a look on his face that said 'WTF!'
"Nothing's happening." Alfie said with a monotonous voice.
"Yeah." Amber chirped. It was definitely too early for Amber's perkiness.
Joy smiled knowing what was going to happen, "I wouldn't say that. Look again."
Everyone looked again but this time, there was gasps heard and looks of bewilderment. Fabian had a green glow surrounding him and there were green leaves blowing around him in the wind. Nina had a blue glow and the waves on the oceans got stronger and more powerful. Jerome had a bright red glow and he suddenly felt hot and he was sweating. Patricia had an eerie dark purple/black glow, and for some reason she was drawn to the darkness. The night's darkness only fed her glow and made her more powerful. Amber had a heavenly white glow and the more she glowed, the stronger the winds became. Her blond locks blew in the strong wind. Alfie had a bright yellow glow and watched as electric sparks surged through him and bounced on his hands. Their glowing stopped and all six of them had wide eyes. Joy smiled because she knew she was right all along.
What the hell? Joy was right...I can control earth and nature. Joy, what did you do to me?'Fabian thought.
'Oh my God. I control water. How is that possible? I'm only 16. Where did the beautiful blue glow come from? Did that come out me?' thought Nina.
'I always knew I was hot. Now I can prove it. Fire, huh? This could be fun,' Jerome thought with a smirk.
'Hmm...I control the powers of darkness, nice... This could have its advantages…' Patricia thought, with an evil plan formulating in her head.
'I control wind...YAY ME!' Amber thought, happily. Whatever floated her boat. But then again, she didn't have a boat. Oh, boy…she was confused. Anymore thinking and she would have a brain haemorrhage.
'I can't control light. That's just whack.'Alfie though, trying to process everything.
Fabian broke the eerie silence between them, although the realization hadn't hit him yet.
"So, as it stands right now. I control all of the Earth's nature, Nina controls water, Jerome's element is fire, while Patricia has control of the dark. Amber can control air and wind while Alfie can control lightning and light?" Fabian asked, trying to clarifying everything. Joy only nodded.
"Yes. I'll explain your powers and abilities. Starting with the earth ones," she said.
"Um, sure. I'm still waiting for all of this to sink in but ok, tell me." Fabian replied, nervously. He didn't get it, but he listened anyway.
Joy explained, "Fabian, you have the earth elements because you are a down-to-earth guy. You have the ability to make vines and roots shoot up from the ground. Those are your offensive attacks "Roots of Evil" and "Vines of Confusion". This attack is useful for slowing people down. There is a special attack but you're going to have to figure that one out because for I'm not sure what that is. You also have the ability to resurrect living things and give life again. You can also conjure up flowers. All you have to do is snap your fingers, literally. The flowers will appear in the hands of the person who want to give them to. Just release the element within you and focus. When you feel the energy bubbling over, snap your fingers."
"Ok, it's worth a shot." Fabian naturally obliged. He wanted to see it would work or not.
Fabian stared at his hands and focused on his earth element. He started seeing trees blowing in the wind. He felt a boost of energy but it wasn't bubbling over yet. He wanted red roses. 12 of them for Nina. Nina. Red roses. The energy overwhelmed him and he glowed again, a bit too strong this time. He snapped his fingers when he couldn't stand it anymore. Nina gasped to see a bouquet of red roses in her arms. Fabian was shocked all over again and blushed when Nina smiled at him.
"Thank you, Fabian. They're beautiful and they smell nice." Nina smiled. Thank God it was dark or else Fabian would've seen her cheeks turning a deep scarlet.
Fabian swore he could feel himself turning red, "You're welcome."
Jerome grew tired of the love-fest about to evolve here. After all, everything revolved around him, right? "Can we move this along? I want to know what powers I have. It's all about the jeromeator."
There were 6 pairs of eyes glaring at him. Why was Jerome such a jerk?
"Ok, Jerome. You have the element of fire because you are a passionate guy, believe it or not. You have the ability to make things explode and you can shoot fire out of your hands. Your offensive attacks are "Eruption" and "Fire Storm". This attack causes damage to your enemies. You also have Mind Control, meaning you can get anyone to do whatever you want. There is almost a special attack for you too, Jerome but like I told Fabian you have to figure it out. To shoot fire out of your hands, concentrate and unlock your element and think of fire," Joy said.
"Will it get you to stop talking so much?"
"Ugh! Jerome, you're such a bastard!" Nina yelled.
"Love you too Nina. How about we stop by my room for a make-out session?"
Nina wrinkled her nose in disgust, "Not now. Not ever."
He only shrugged, "Can't blame a guy for trying."
Jerome sighed and focused, harder than he ever did in his entire life. Pictures of flames haunted his mind. There were flames everywhere. He suddenly starting to sweat and he felt hot. His hands glowed fire engine red and a stream of flames shot out of his left hand, barely missing Nina. Nina jumped onto Fabian's lap because of that. Fabian had no objections but he did blush a little.
"Jerome! Watch where you aim that stuff, will you?" Nina screamed, unaware she has climbed on Fabian's lap. "You go from wanting to swap spit with me to burning me to a crisp. Great."
Jerome smirked and crossed his arms, "Well, well, well. It seems I did you a favour. Look at whose lap you're sitting on."
"Huh?" Nina looked down and realized she was sitting on Fabian's lap. She immediately blushed.
"Oh, sorry Fabian. I'll get off." Fabian was ecstatic to have Nina sitting on his lap. She wasn't that heavy anyway. In fact, she was as light as a feather.
"It's ok. I don't mind. You can sit on my lap. I wouldn't want Jerome burning you to a crisp anyway."
"Thanks." Nina said with gratitude. The two locked eyes. It looked like they were about to lean in when—
"Nina?" Joy's calling her name made sure Fabian and Nina tore their eyes away from each other, at least for now.
"Yeah, Joy?"
Joy explained in great detail, "You have the element of water. You got this element because you are as calm as water but when you have strong emotions when you're provoked. You also have the gift of healing yourself and others. It's useful in combat. Your offensive attacks are "Whirlpool" and "Tsunami". Meaning you can instigate waves of unspeakable heights, therefore drowning your enemies. You can shoot water out of hands too. Like Fabian and Jerome, there is a special attack in store for you. Unlock the element within."
"I'm not sure if I can," Nina replied, with some degree of nervousness. Fabian, being the best friend he was, encouraged her. He knew she was scared. Who wouldn't be after finding out you and your friends control the forces of nature?
"Come on, nines. You can do it."
"Thanks, I'll try," she replied back.
Nina concentrated on her element. Flashbacks of water, lakes, and waterfalls flooded her mind. She too glowed a beautiful blue and the energy of her element also subdued her. She stretched out her hand and a powerful stream of water shot out of her right hand, barely missing Jerome. Nina crossed her arms and smiled. Patricia tried to suppress a laugh threatening to come and Jerome glared at her.
"Don't make me burn you," Jerome said, as he glared at Patricia. Patricia obviously wasn't going to take this one sitting down.
"Remember it's still dark out, and I could kick your ass even without my powers."
"Not with my fire you can't," Jerome retorted. He just did that to set Patricia off. She loved the attention, and wanted to play along with it.
"Oh, yeah? Bring it on Pretty Boy!" she retorted back.
"It's already here! And that's Mr. Pretty Boy to you!"
Alfie rubbed his temples in frustration. It was way too early for this. He wanted to go to bed…now!
"Shut up and make up already! You know you like each other! Stop faking it!" Alfie growled. He was still kind of cranky from being up so early.
"Yeah, what Alfie said." Amber nodded, obviously agreeing. Joy just sighed, and ignored Patricia and Jerome's pouting.
"Now I'll explain the dark powers."
Joy sighed, "Finally. Someone talking who isn't Jerome. Go on."
"Patricia, you have the element of darkness. You got this element because you aren't exactly a ball of sunshine. You're moody, but no messes with Patricia Williamson. You like to protect those around you and no one causes your friends pain and gets away with it. You're blunt and you are brutally honest even though no one wants to hear it. You do, however, have a vulnerable side but that isn't expressed too much because of your high walls. You're special gift is Telekinesis, meaning you can move things or causes levitation with only the power of your mind. You're offensive attacks are "Shadow". This attack makes you completely invincible. Your other one is the "Demon of Destruction" which will possess you and make you pure evil, but it's temporary. This attack is deadly and the demon inside of you will allow you to destroy anyone in your path. There's another special attack but I don't know what that is. Try to find inner evil and unlock the darkness within," Joy explained.
Patricia rolled her eyes, "Whatever."
Patricia focused and closed her eyes. She thought of everything that made her mad. The darkness outside was pitch black. She had found her inner evil and the darkness of the night made her glow purple. Nina clutched on to Fabian as they and the rest of their friends watched. Patricia opened her eyes and smirked as she stretched her left hand toward Jerome. Jerome levitated into the air and soon Nina, Fabian, Alfie, and Amber were looking up.
"Patricia! Put me down!" Jerome was at least 3 feet above the rest.
She smirked as she kept Jerome in suspension. Patricia pretended to think about it, "Should I?"
"Yes!" Jerome was annoyed. He was going to get Patricia back later.
"Fine, God. You always got to ruin my fun," she said bitterly.
Jerome replied in a flirty tone, "Don't worry, baby. We'll have lots more fun...like making out."
"Ugh! You're nasty!"
Jerome only smirked, "You know you like it."
Patricia finally gave up and set him down on the ground. Patricia smirked. Whoever gave her these powers, she was for once grateful.
"Who wants to know about their powers?" Joy asked.
Amber's hand shot up in the air, like she was in a classroom. "Ooh! Ooh! Me! Me! Me!"
"Ok, amber." joy laughed at amber's enthusiasm. Maybe that's why she got the element she did.
"Yay!" amber chirped as she clapped her hands together. Joy smiled at amber and explained.
"Amber, you have the element Air. You got this element because of you bubbly personality. Your happy-go-lucky personality. You're not the brightest but you like to be around your friends—"
Amber interrupted, "And don't forget. Cute boys. And I like to shop. I like pink things. I think I'll name my first daughter Pink…"
Joy laughed a little. She was one of the few people that could tolerate amber's rapid speech. Joy explained, "Yes. Those too. Anyway, you're special gift is flight. You can fly. Your offensive attacks are "Sonic Scream". This attack allows you to scream so loud at a high frequency. Not only will everyone get headaches for a week but that scream can break any surface no matter how hard. Your second one is called "Tornado". Like everyone you have a third attack, figure it out. You need to call a strong wind and spin at high speed for this one to work. Think of all the things that make you happy and focus."
"Ok."
Amber pictured all the things that made her happy. Alfie sitting beside her. The new pair of sneakers she was wearing. Her friends. Anubis house. Everything. Suddenly, amber glowed brightly and the winds came stronger and more powerful. She felt different somehow. Just different. Amber gasped when she saw white feathers around her and she wasn't on the ground anymore. She had sprouted white angel-like wings and she was flying while her friends looked on.
Amber gasped in surprise. "Ohmigosh! You guys! I can fly! Weeee!"
"That's great but come down!" Joy shouted from below.
"Aww, ok," she said sadly. In a second, her voice took a happy tone.
Amber flapped her wings until her feet touched the ground. Her wings went into her back and soon she didn't have them anymore. She smiled and took her seat next to Alfie.
"That was fun. I should fly around again." Amber said while grinning. Joy explained Alfie's abilities.
"Last but not least, Alfie. You have the element of light and electricity because you keep everyone in check, almost like Nina. Your offensive attacks are "Shockwave" and "Lightning Punch" You also have a sense of what is right and wrong. You're able to manipulate the weather to your liking and you can shoot lightning out of hands. In order to do that, you might to concentrate on your element. Give it a try."
"Ok. The quicker I can do this. The quicker I can get to sleep."
Alfie focused on his elements. Thunder. Lightning. Light. He soon started to glow yellow and sparks formed around his hands. Alfie felt the power surge through his body and soon an electric current shot out of both his hands, and nearly skinned Jerome. Jerome was clearly pissed. Everyone else laughed.
"What is this? Is it "Let's pick on Jerome" Day?" Jerome questioned, peeved.
"Yeah, pretty much," Nina answered while shrugging lightly.
"Thanks Joy for telling us. You've been a great help." Fabian said, smiling but he was kind of sleepy.
They all stood up now.
"No problem. Now, if you don't mind, I have something to tend to."
Joy smiled at her friends and bounded off.
"Ok, we all know what's happening there. So, I need to catch some shut-eye. We'll deal with this later."
Alfie threw his hands up in the air. "Hallelujah! Sleep!"
Fabian quietly laughed, and Nina giggled at Alfie's charade.
"Yeah, sleep sounds good," agreed Nina, while rubbing her eyes.
Amber yawned, and Jerome was trying to keep his eyes open. Patricia pinched him.
"'Night ladies," Jerome said tiredly. Even jerks needed their sleep.
"It's Saturday so we'll meet up for breakfast in the lounge," Nina suggested.
"Yeah, sounds good." replied Amber. She was too tired to go into full-blown conversation.
"Whatever," replied Patricia, shrugging.
It was now 5am and the darkness was starting to fade away. They all agreed to catch some more sleep and meet back for breakfast at 10am. It was Saturday and there were no classes, to everyone's liking. The 6 friends all walked in the same direction, until they went to their rooms. Jerome, Alfie, and Fabian went left down the hall, while Patricia, Amber, and Nina went up stairs.
Little did they know they were being watched by 6 people
