Chapter 3
I woke up when my alarm went off, which is funny because I don’t even remember setting it. As I stretched my arms out above my head, I clenched my hands into fists, and suddenly fire appeared in them. I had totally forgotten that I now had a fire power. “I guess I still need to learn how to control it,” I muttered to myself as I got out of bed.
I went out of my room and started down the stairs to the kitchen to get some breakfast. “I wonder if Jen is awake yet,” I thought as I headed towards the kitchen. Sure enough when I got to the kitchen, she was already there.
“Morning,” I said as I walked by and to a cupboard in search of a bowl.
“Morning,” she replied. “How are you this morning?” she asked turning towards me.
“Surprisingly, I feel quite good,” I said as I grabbed a bowl, and then turned towards her and smiled, as I made for the cereal cupboard.
“You are in a good mood. That’s good,” she said as she went back to her cereal. “May I ask why you are in such a good mood?”
“Aha!” I said as I found the cereal that I wanted and put it down on the counter next to my bowl. “I’m in a good mood because I learned something really cool! Watch this,” I said as I drew my hands into fist and flames appeared in them.
“Oh my gosh! Laney, your hands are on fire!” she said pushing away from the table and freaking out.
“I know they are,” I said laughing. “I did that on purpose. Now watch this,” I smirked as fireballs appeared in my hands.
“Ah!” she shrieked as she covered her face with her hands. “How are you able to do that?” she asked standing up and coming over to me.
“What I am going to tell you, you probably won’t believe,” I said as I put out the fireballs in my hands.
“Over the past year, I have seen many different monsters because of you, which I wouldn’t have believed unless I saw them with my own eyes. I think I am used to believing far out things. Give me a shot,” she said sitting back down.
“Well, last night after I went back to my room, I suddenly felt dizzy and ended up collapsing onto the floor. When I opened my eyes, I was at the Stonehenge.”
“The Stonehenge? But how is that possible? Aren’t they located like somewhere in Europe?” she asked, furrowing her eyebrows.
“Yes, I was at the Stonehenge, but I wasn’t there physically,” I said pausing to look at her. She gave me a questioning look, but didn’t say anything, so I just kept going on. “There was another person there with me, who said he was there to help me develop my powers. He explained to me that I was able to be there because when I am asleep or unconscious my mind is susceptible to receiving different images, so my mind and spirit were able to be there without me physically being there,” I said as I poured the cereal into the bowl, and then put the milk in there and sat down across from her.
“So you’re telling me that you basically learned it all in a dream?” she asked incredulously.
“It wasn’t really a dream. It was like I was there, but I wasn’t there, you know? Kind of like being in two places at one,” I said taking a bite of my Cheerios.
“Whatever, as long as you actually possess powers,” she said as she went back to eating.
As soon as I was done eating, I called the government so that I could get paid for killing the demon last night. I was upstairs in my room getting ready to go jogging when there was a knock on the door.
“I’ll get it!” I heard Jenna yell as she raced for the door. I heard the door open and her say hi to the person. “Alania! It’s for you!”
“I’ll be right down!” I yelled as I quickly put my hair up and went down to see who could possibly be at the door. As I came to the top of the stairs and saw who was there. I had to hold in a gasp, because the person there looked exactly like Tristan, except that he wasn’t wearing a robe this time. He was wearing jeans and a polo.
“Alania, this is Trevor,” Jenna said as I was about midway down the stairs.
He was holding out his hand for me to shake. “Nice to meet you Alania,” he said as I grasped his hand and shook it. For a moment, it looked as if he had flashed me a quick wink.
“Likewise Trevor,” I said as I gave him a questioning look. “What could I help you with?” I asked taking a step back from him.
“I have two tickets to England that I am supposed to give to you,” he said digging in his coat pocket and producing two tickets.
“That’s nice and all, but how am I supposed to just up and leave here and go to England, when I won’t even have a place to stay when I get there,” I said crossing my arms.
“No need to worry. There is a place out in Amesbury that is up for rent, and so my company had it all taken care of,” he said smirking at me.
“Do you mind if I talk to you outside, Trevor?” I said, putting and emphasis on the “Trevor” and dragging him outside after me to stand on the porch.
“What’s wrong Alania?” he asked as he sat down on the porch swing.
“Just cut the crap,” I sneered. “You’re really Tristan, aren’t you?”
“Look who is a smart one,” he said sarcastically.
“Why did you use a different name?” I said irritated.
“Because, regular humans must not know,” he said standing up.
“My roommate Jenna already knows all about witches and demons, so it’s perfectly safe,” I said sitting down on the rail. “So why am I actually going to England?”
“I thought that you would have guessed it already. What is there in England that I would want you to go there?” he said with amusement.
“The Stonehenge, of course! I get it now. By actually being at the Stonehenge in person other than just spiritually or whatever, I will become even stronger, and my powers will develop better,” I said smacking myself on the forehead.
“Give the girl a star,” he said sarcastically.
“Ha ha ha,” I said lightly shoving him. “But, why are there two tickets?”
“What, did you want to go alone?” he asked with amusement.
“I didn’t really think of that, but who is the other ticket for?”
“Who do you think it’s for?” he said crossing his arms.
“Is it Jenna?”
“Precisely,” he said as he went and sat back down on the swing.
“Well, how are you going to get there?” I asked, but he just laughed.
“Silly woman. I don’t need to travel by road or plane. I can just poof myself from one place to another whenever I wish,” he said leaning back and closing his eyes.
“I’m really beginning to not like your attitude,” I said as I went over and plopped down next to him, make the swing move violently.
“And why is that?” he asked settling the swing.
“Well, maybe because you’re just too cocky and arrogant,” I huffed.
“You know what?” he said as his face came close to mine. “I think you that you don’t actually hate it, you actually quite enjoy it.”
“And why the hell would I enjoy your cocky attitude?” I asked nearly spitting in his face.
“Because everyone else you encounter doesn’t question or challenge your abilities, while my arrogant attitude challenges you like nothing else has,” he smirked.
I hated to admit it, but in a way he was right. “I may enjoy the challenge of your attitude, but that does not mean that I don’t hate it either.”
“Say whatever you want, but I really know the truth,” he said stretching his arms. “Oh, look at the time, I have to get going,” he said standing up.
“Wait, when do I leave to go to England?” I asked before he poofed.
“You leave at 6 o’clock this evening. Have fun packing, oh, and uh, nice outfit,” he said as he poofed into the air.
Hopefully none of my neighbors were watching when he poofed, otherwise I would have a lot of people asking me about the strange disappearance. I just realized that I was wearing short shorts and a sports bra, since I was going to go out running, and I blushed at the thought of what he said before he poofed.
I suddenly started to freak out, since he didn’t give me the tickets, but when I looked at the swing, they were sitting there where he had previously been.
I looked at my watch since it was only 12:30. I went for a quick run around the block before I went back inside the house.
“Jenna, pack your bags, we’re going to England,” I said making my way up the stairs.
“When are we leaving?” she called after me.
“The plane leaves at 6pm,” I said going into my room.
“What!” she screamed as she raced up the stairs and dashed into her room.
5 hours later, we were sitting on the plane, ready to take off to England. I had my IPod in and was jamming to “Riot” by Three Days Grace, when Jenna tapped my shoulder.
“Aren’t you just super excited to be going to England!” she said in a rush.
“I would be, if the reason I was going was to relax,” I muttered.
“What do you mean? Why are we going there?” she asked.
“I’m going there to work on my “powers”,” I whispered to her. “You are just along for the ride,” I said lying back in my seat.
“Have fun with that. While you’re training, I’m going to be relaxing and tanning,” she said lying back in her seat too.
The moment I closed my eyes, I felt something, and I opened them and I was at the Stonehenge again.
“Tristan!” I yelled turning around in a circle. “Why am I here right now? I am on my way to England right now so that I can actually physically be here.”
He stepped out of the shadows, and he was once again wearing his black robe. “The Guardians wanted you to know more information about your powers. It turns out that you are able to somehow put all of the elements into use,” he said coming towards me.
“You mean Earth, Wind, Fire and Water? That’s pretty cool,” I said leaning up against one of the stones.
“Those are the ones,” he said calmly. “Now, in the case of your ability with the wind, you can also control some elements of the storm, like the electricity.”
I was liking this. I could electrify someone if I wanted to, and no one would ever find out that it was me. “Is it possible that I can control entire storms? Like the precipitation and thunder?” I asked hopefully.
“Time will only tell,” he said as he stopped a few feet away from me. “Now, I want to try something really quick before you wake up. Try blocking this,” he said as he threw a knife at me.
“Are you crazy?” I yelled as I dodged it. He just threw another knife at me.
“Try to block it!” he yelled as he threw knife after knife at me.
“Fuck off!” I yelled as I crossed my arms in front of myself, using them as a shield. But I didn’t feel anything touch my arms. What I did feel was a wind whooshing around me, acting as a shield between myself and the knives Tristan was throwing at me. I brought my arms down, and the wind slowly stopped.
“Well done, you have learned to make a force field. Try doing it again without me throwing knives at you,” he said, intensely staring at me.
I slowly raised my arms in front of myself, and nothing happened. I concentrated harder, using one of my hands and pushing at the air, when it started to blow away from me. I moved my hand in a circular motion, and it was flowing around me. I didn’t do that the first time, but I’m not complaining, as long as it works.
“That was pretty good. Not as good as the first time you did it, but it works. You’re going to be waking up soon, so I will leave you,” he said as he disappeared behind a stone.
“Whatever,” I muttered letting the wind die down. “Let’s try this again,” I said as I crossed my arms again. This time, I felt the energy exude from my arms, and the wind around me began swirling fiercely.
“I did it!” I happily cheered as I let my arms down.
I suddenly felt exhausted, and collapsed to the ground. But before my eyes closed, I saw a figure walking towards me, but it didn’t look like Tristan. It looked more like a female.
When I opened my eyes, I was being shaken lightly by Jenna.
“Alania, we’re here,” she said standing up excitedly.
“That was a quick trip,” I said as I took my Ipod out of my ears and stretched, careful not to catch my hands on fire.
“That’s for you to say, you were asleep the whole time. It was weird too, because every once in a while, I could feel a cold chill come off you,” she said staring closely at me.
“I’ll explain it later,” I said standing up. “Right now, I just want to go find that house that we’re supposed to be staying in.”
“Same here,” Jenna said as she got our bags out of the above space.
As soon as we claimed our luggage and other belongings, I went and looked around trying to find out where we were supposed to go, when there was a guy holding a sign with my name on it. As I got closer, I saw that it was Tristan in disguise.
“I will show you to where you are to live,” he said as he bowed to me.
“I love how nice these people are,” Jenna said as she came over to me.
“Yeah, let the fun begin,” I said as we loaded up the car and started on our drive to where we would be staying.
