Elementor (Elementor Series Book 1)

Nam looked at Ana. "You helped me, now let me help you." They looked into each other's eyes, sparks flying between them. Ana smiled and nodded, letting the fire consume her. She closed her eyes, letting her outer shell burn away. The swirls wrapped around her, jets of flame flying into her hand.

"Are there any more of you 'special' people?"

"Not yet."

"Good." Claws flashed in the light of street lamps, shining beneath the moon.

The two Elementor girls were about to join power again, when Flidias screamed to them 'stop! I have a plan!' They nodded and split apart.

'What do you want us to do?'

'Nam, I need him to go for you.'

'What?'

'Oh, I'm so happy he can't hear us. Just get him to attack you. I am serious, I won't let anything happen to you. Trust me.'

'Okay.'

"Fight me!" Roared Adol, his eyes bloodthirsty. The four girls split up, forming a square around Adol. Ari reached out to the others, her mind filling theirs. She pulled their hands back, then all at once the four girls attacked: fire; water; nature; psychic abilities. Adol screamed in pain again, his eyes slitting like a snake's. He whirled around, unsure of who to attack. Then he ran at Nam. Fly darted across the park.

"No water to save you now, freak!" Five razor sharp claws were coming straight at Nam.

'Any time now, Fly!' The brown-haired girl leapt forward.

"Fly, no!" Ari ran towards the body that lay limp on the ground. Brown hair covered the girl's face, her eyes closed. Her blood seeped onto the grass.

'The grass...' Thought Ari. She looked up at Nam whose eyes were tear-filled, her hands over her mouth, holding back sobs. "The grass," she whispered. Nam's eyes opened wide, then she fell against Ana, feigning sadness, feigning tears. The three girls sank to the ground, blocking Adol's view of Flidais. Grass strands began to wrap around the still girl, working their way into her wounds. Her pale skin began to brighten and warm. Colour returned to her cheeks, and her eyes fluttered. Not quite open, but not fully closed.

"She falls."

"No. You idiot. No." Fly's eyes opened wide, vines and grass and leaves wrapping around her. "I gave you the biggest clue. I healed my leg in front of you. My friends told you too. But you are such a fool that you 'kill me' on the grass. In nature. In my freaking element. You idiot." She held out her hand and vines twirled up into her hand, forming a beautiful staff. A piece of fluorite surrounded by tsavorite garnet shone in the moonlight. "Girls. Let's finish this fool."

"Now you're talking my language!" Ana sent jets of flame up into the air. Nam opened her hands, letting water fly high. Fly held out her arms, vines shooting up from the ground. Then she grabbed the others girls' wrists and pulled them high into the air. They floated above Adol, who stared on in hate, awe, wonder and shock. The trio formed a rough triangle and put their staffs out. When the three gems touched, three-coloured light shot down from above. Red, blue and green hit the staffs, then the light turned into the element of the corresponding girl and shot down, down, down, hitting Adol in the chest. He cried out, hitting the ground hard.

Fly descended, a light shimmering on her shoulder. She put her staff under Adol's chin. "Leave. Never. Never! Come back. If you try to hurt us again, we won't be so kind. And yes, this is kind. We won't bother with the slammer again. You'll just break out, even if they trim your claws. I bet Nerezza broke you out, didn't she? Didn't she!?"

"Yes." A chuckle escaped from the boy's lips, which only caused the staff to be pushed harder against his windpipe.

"What's so funny?"

"I won't have to try and hurt you again."

"Oh, is that so?"

"Yeah. Nerezza is going to kill you all. In Swynport. Over the ocean. If you ever get there, go for the darkest spot."

"Not falling for it. The last time we went to attack Nerezza, she sent her lackey to get us. Innocent people could have been hurt. I'm not risking that again." Nam looked serious as she said this. But there was something underneath the seriousness. In the depths of her heart, she was actually wishing that Adol was telling the truth. Not only would it mean she could go to the ocean, they would finally be putting an end to Nerezza's reign of darkness.

"Guys? He's telling the truth." Ari opened her eyes. They glowed faintly in the dark. Nam's heart leapt with joy. Dark crystals began to float around Adol. He smiled.

"Well, girls my ride is here. See you on the other side."

"I very much doubt we will be going to Hell. But you keep imagining, you little devil." And with that Adol disappeared and the girls walked off.
