Clair was going to comment by how amazing the painting in the book was amazing when they heard voices and footsteps. And for some reason Sam knew they should hide from these people.
''Come on get down'' Sam whispered to Clair while putting all her stuff in her backpack and putting a strap over her shoulder ''wait why'' Clair asked but followed Sam to the end until they were far behind a book shelf so the people couldn't see them or the security cameras but Clair and Sam could still hear them.
''We need to tell the students Roger'' a man said to Mr. Fisher whose first name was revealed to be Roger. ''Yes I know but how we can't just tell the children they have elemental powers they need to figure that out on their own we can't force it'' Mr. Fisher told the man.
''Wait did he just say'' Clair said but was cut off by Sam ''Shh! They'll hear us'' Sam whispered to Clair but they both knew something was up now.
The man sighed ''I suppose you're right but how do you propose we get this started so they will unlock their powers'' ''I have an idea we should just let it go let the children figure it out and when they do they can come to us for guidance'' Mr. Fisher explained ''wise move Roger now I must be going I have some important business to attend to'' the man announced ''very well see you soon Dominic'' Mr. Fisher said as the two of them walked out of the library.
Sam and Clair waited until they were sure they were safe to come out.
''Oh my freaking god! Clair practically shouted while taking a few paces away from Sam and standing up ''can you believe them they think we have elemental powers man they are messed up in the head'' Clair exclaimed while pointing a finger to her head for emphasize. She was about to go on when Sam interrupted her ''uh Clair'' Sam said fear colouring her voice ''you might want to come see this'' Clair sighed oh what is it now Sam'' Clair sounded annoyed. But before Clair could say anything else she saw Sam's hands shooting electricity out of them from one hand to the other the electricity was jumping like a slinky back and forth.
Sam' eyes were watering ''what's happening to me'' Sam cried ''I don't know'' Clair said while she was still looking at the electricity in Sam's hands. ''Try to stop it'' Clair says to Sam trying to calm her down. Sam clenched her hands into fist the unclenched them but the electricity was still there, Sam was crying now freaking out since she wasn't sure what was happening to her ''it's not working! Sam screamed luckily there was no librarian. ''Shh, it's okay'' Clair cooed to Sam in an effort to calm her down since her fear was making the electricity unstable ''just take a deep breath and relax'' Clair cooed Sam didn't say anything but nodded she took a deep breath then let it out and Clair realized that when Sam was calming down the electricity died down a little. Clair grabbed Sam's face between her hands and brought it to her own afraid that if she grabbed her hands she would get electrocuted. ''Now Sam if you want to stop this just do it you have the power just focus'' Clair said encouragingly to Sam. Sam nodded closed her eyes and took some nice deep breaths and in few minutes the electricity stopped.
''Good job'' Clair congratulated Sam with squeeze around the shoulders Sam shrugged ''thanks'' she mumbled. Sam walked a few feet away from Clair ''well I guess those old guys were telling the truth'' Sam said Clair walked over to her ''I guess they were'' Clair said with an impish grin ''now I say we figure out the others'' Sam announced Clair looked at her confused ''what do you mean by that'' Clair asked curiously.
''I mean we figure everyone else's elements electricity is taken'' Sam said pointing to herself with chagrin. Clair laughed and walked over to Sam putting an arm around her shoulder ''I guess it is'' Clair added.
''That means there are 9 elements left
Water, earth, fire, air, light, nature, life, death, and darkness and whoever has the darkness element we should watch out for right?
''Right'' Clair agreed.
The bell rung which means it's time for lunch. ''Come Clair we better go get some lunch I'm starving'' Sam says while walking to the door. They arrive at the dining hall before anyone else and Clair catches Sam up with what happened and where everyone is. ''Beau swimming with Lizzie at the lake, Eric and Tyler are playing at the arcade, Caleb and Jacob are playing basketball, Jade is horseback riding and Ainsley is doing archery all caught up'' Clair asks Sam ''um yeah'' Sam says to Clair even though she's still confused. All of a sudden Caleb and Jacob walk in ''hey Clair and Sam'' ''hey Caleb'' they both say together.
Sam looks down at her lap and realizes that there's a little electricity on her finger tips it's probably since Jacob's here. She elbows Clair in the arm to not shock her ''psst Clair'' ''what'' Clair says annoyed then she looks down at Sam's hands ''what caused it now'' she asks urgently ''I don't know but I think it might have something to do with Jacob here and my gazing problem'' Sam confesses in a whisper ''what should you do? Clair whispers ''I think until all of them show up I should go back up to our room so I can calm down'' Sam whispers ''good thinking'' Clair says with a thumbs up. They focus their attention back at the two boys who are now giving them strange looks ''umm is everything okay? Jacob asks raising an eyebrow at Sam ''yes everything's alright here totally w-why wouldn't it be'' Sam says shaking in her chair ''are you alright Sam? Jacob asks more caring this time Sam stutters then books it out of there careful to hide her hands and up the stairs she doesn't bother to look back and see their expressions.
Jacob turns around and races after Sam. ''Jacob wait'' Clair yells after him but he's already gone.
Jacob runs up the stairs and tries to open the door but the handle is locked. ''Sam open up'' Jacob yells through the door he puts his ear to the door and he can hear crying ''please Sam'' he whispers then he hears the sound of a lock being undone and he opens the door looks around for Sam then spots her on the balcony. He runs over to her but she pushes him back ''you shouldn't have come here'' she says through the crying ''what do you mean I shouldn't have come here'' but then he spots her fingers and can see some glowing current at the end of them ''what happened'' he ask urgently trying to grab her hand but she pulls away ''please just go back I'll be fine'' She says trying to find an exit but Jacob's blocking every possibility literally. ''I won't'' he yells which surprises her ''fine'' she says in defeat ''but I have to tell you the truth'' she confesses ''okay let's hear it'' he says crossing his arm. ''Well when Clair and I were in the library we overheard a conversation between Mr. Fisher whose first name is Roger anyway he was talking with a guy and he said they needed to get the children- Sam did that part with air quotes –to unlock their elemental powers and'' ''wait hold so you're telling me that we all have elemental powers? ''yes'' she answers ''okay Sam I think you need to think straight'' he says and puts his arm around her but she pulls away ''I'm not making this up'' she shouts ''I'll show you just got me a bobby clip or something small that's metal'' ''how is this gonna help'' he interjects ''just do it'' she snaps and with Jacob goes and gets a bobby pin he comes back with one. ''Okay now put it down and step back'' he did as he was told. Then Sam put one hand out and a lightning bolt shot from her hand and hit its target dead on. ''Whoa'' he shouts. Sam walks away and leans on the end of the balcony ''umm Sam'' he asks she sighs ''what Jacob'' she says turning around to face him ''you never told me why you ran out or why you don't look at me" she blushes he walks over to her ''Sam'' he says ''yeah'' she says but doesn't look him in the eyes ''I know you like me'' He confesses.
Sam looked at him a mixture of surprise and fear, she then walked away from ''how did you know about? She asks ''I overheard you telling Clair'' he confesses then blushes ''wait Jacob hold up why did you follows us'' she asks putting a hand on her hip he laughs and walks over to her. Her electrical current has gone down dramatically now there is only little sparks. He reaches for her hands Sam is hesitant because she doesn't want to hurt him but she lets him take her hands.
The minute Jacob touches Sam it was like an electrical current ran through him just at her hands on him but the current wasn't painful it sparked something in him desire and then he started to glow. Sam looked up to meet Jacob's eyes and was surprised at the sight she saw ''Jacob you're glowing'' ''why thank you'' he said his voice seductive ''no Jacob you're really glowing'' she held up their intertwined hands he looked at their hands and realizing his tan skin was glowing.
He pulled away from Sam with a frightened look on his face ''what's happening'' he asked urgently ''Jacob your element is light'' she explained walking over to him putting her small hands in his.
Just at the simple contact of Sam's skin on his took away the fear and replaced it was desire. ''I just have one question why did you follow us'' Jacob lowered his head so he wasn't looking Sam in the eyes ''because I like you too'' he confessed. Sam smiled she moved her hands out of his traced them up his abdomen then chest to wrap her small hands around his neck. This for Jacob sent a current of desire to wash through him stronger than the first one. He wrapped his one hand around her waist and the other one came out to cradle the back of her head. She looked deep into his dark brown eyes smiling then leaned in and planted a soft kiss to his lips the look on Jacob was surprise which shortly after became happiness.
The kiss started out innocent but then he smashed his lips into hers, her lips began to move. Her hands moved higher up and got entangled in his short dark brown hair. His lips molded to hers perfectly like they were built for each other the passion in the kiss was escalating. For Sam and Jacob it was a whole new experience since it was their first kiss. They both knew it was their first kiss. They both pulled away looking at each other in the eyes and there was no more fear for them or embarrassment in there the only thing in their eyes were desire threatening to overtake them it took all their strength to do so. They pulled away from each other but their hands were still intertwined Sam walked over to the couch and Jacob followed but before they sat down she turned around to face Jacob not scared of looking him in the eyes anymore but still worried that the desire would overtake her. ''Are you hungry? She asked it took a second for Jacob to answer ''well now that you mention it yeah kind of'' he said with chagrin colouring his voice ''then let's go eat'' she said as she practically dragged him out of the room then stooped in her tracks ''what's wrong'' he asked she turned to face him biting her lip ''I don't want people to know you like me or I like you'' he raised an eyebrow at Sam ''it's just we both have reputations and what happens if we break up this is a small amount of students it wouldn't blow over''. Jacob listened he frowned at the mention of a break up but pushed it aside Sam had a point so for now their relationship would be a secret. He reluctantly let go of her and let her have a 5 minute start.
When Sam came down to the Dining hall everyone stared at her she felt electricity come to her fingertips she clenched her hands into fists and went to sit near Clair then after a few moments Jacob came out and walked over to sit on the other side of Sam. ''What are you doing we're suppose make it less conspicuous not more conspicuous'' Sam whispered to Jacob ''there wasn't any more seats what was I supposed to do sit on the floor" Jacob whispered back ''I'm sorry'' Sam whispered. Then they heard someone else whisper ''psst what did you guys do'' Clair asked leaning over ''I'll tell you later'' Sam whispered Clair gripped her forearm and looked her straight in the eyes ''promise'' Clair asked sternly ''promise'' Sam whispered back Clair released her grip and went back to eating her meal.
Sam looked at her lap and realized that her fingers were still sparking Jacob probably realized that to because he reached his down intertwined his hand with hers then gave it a squeeze ''thanks'' Sam said relieved because her hands stopped sparking.
When Lunch was finished everyone left to do their own individual things. When everyone was gone there was only 3 people left Clair, Sam and Jacob when the 3 were sure nobody would be able to overhear they began to talk. Clair walked over and stood in front of Sam and Jacob ''Sam can I talk to you alone'' ''sure'' Sam said as Jacob reluctantly let go of her hand.
Once Sam and Clair was alone Clair got right to the point ''okay Sam spill it'' Clair demanded Sam filled Clair in with everything ''whoa he sounds like a keeper'' Clair exclaimed Sam blushed ''well now we can cross of the elements of light and electricity and the two people'' Sam blushed at the last part ''yes, yes we do'' Clair added. ''Hey Sam do you think we could try to find out which element I belong to'' Clair asked sheepishly ''if it's not a bother'' she added Sam stared at her wide eyed ''are you kidding of course it's not a bother I will totally help you'' Sam squealed ''so your possible element could be either water, earth, air, nature, darkness, life, death or fire'' Sam listed ''I hope you aren't the last two'' she added ''me two'' Clair said. Sam turned on her heel and went back to Jacob, he put his arm around her shoulder and Sam hugged him around the waist.
''So what are we doing now? Jacob asked ''well we're going to find which element Clair belongs to'' Sam answered ''oh okay'' Jacob says curious. Clair walked over to the two and put both hands on her hips ''Let get this started'' Clair announced.
''First we need to figure which challenge for which element'' Jacob said ''yes we do'' Sam added ''I think for water you should be in the lake and see if you can make the water move'' Sam decided ''I think that would suffice'' Jacob agreed ''well why are we just standing here let's do this and with that Clair ran up the stairs to get changed. 5 minutes later Clair walked out with her things in a bag ''okay I'm ready'' Clair announced. They headed off to the lake Clair handed Sam her things, took off her shoes then ran into the water she waited until she was waist deep in the water. Clair looked around but nothing happened she turned around to face Jacob and Sam whom were on land Sam hugging Jacob and his arm around her shoulder ''nothing's happening'' she yelled confused ''just try to calm your mind and focus'' Sam yelled back since they were far apart. Clair closed her eyes and took a couple of deep breaths she then pulled her hand in front of her and tried to make the water move it didn't work she tried again still didn't work, a third still nothing. Clair was getting frustrated she started to swim back to shore ''I don't think its water'' Jacob said ''No shit Sherlock'' Clair snapped. ''Hey Clair relax'' Sam said quietly ''anyway which element is next? Clair asks wanting to switch the subject ''the next element is earth so let's see if you can move a few rocks'' Jacob answered ''alright'' Clair said ''just let me go get changed'' and then she walked away.
