for you,” I said.
“He can wait,” he said. He stared at the floor and I watched as a dark emotion shadowed his face.
“Do you want to know the worst memory I have of you?” he asked not looking up at me. I managed to croak a ‘yes’. “The worst part was trying to save you from the boat and you not letting me. You were bleeding a lot and sinking in the water but you managed to create a shield of water way to tough to penetrate. You were dying and losing a lot of blood but you kept me away. It was like you wanted to die, like you didn’t want to be with me.” A series of memories flooded over me. I was helping the mother when I fell back into the water. I was losing a lot of blood but I was smiling. A figure began to swim toward me as I sunk. I waved my arms around me. The water that surrounded me began to twist and twist until it became a spinning wall between me and the figure. The figure banged and kicked at the wall but nothing happened. I reached to touch the figures face but then I was gone.
“You remember?” he asked bringing me back into my room.
“Now I do,” I choked.
“Why did you do it? Why wouldn’t you let me help you?” he asked pain clear in his eyes.
“I’m not sure completely but I think it was out of fear,” I said.
“Fear of what? Tell me. Please,” he begged.
“Fear of change. I’ve always died alone. I left no one to feel guilty over my death. I didn’t want to be that burden of someone important to me. I still don’t want that. I tried to make it hard for someone to get attached to me but you were an exception I suppose. But even the exception can’t stop that fear,” I said. I felt a tear slide down my cheek and I wiped it away.
“I think I understand,” he said standing up. He walked up to me and I looked him in the eyes. They were soft now and a small smile spread across his face. “Committing suicide is the worse way to run from that type of situation.”
“That was a long time ago and that’s not fault,” I said taking a step back.
“Don’t worry. I won’t interfere with what you have here. Well, no more than I already did,” he said. He turned and headed for the door. I began to laugh and he turned to face me. I realized why the dream I had seemed so real. It was real because to a certain extent the dream did happen. I was pulled away from Angelo in the past and that was why I was dragged away from him.
“What’s so funny?” he asked amuse.
“Nothing,” I said trying to stop my laughter. He shook his head and stalked out of my room.

Chapter Six

“Isabelle, will you please calm down!” Marcos asked over Isabelle’s yelling voice.
“What is wrong with you?” Cameron yelled.
“Isabelle, put the knife down!!” Marcos yelled.
“Bloody hell,” Alex said with a sigh. I walked into the room to find chaos. Isabelle was holding a knife to Cameron’s neck while Marcos tried to claw it out of her hand. Kyle looked at the scene with horror on his face while Alex rubbed his temples in small circles.
“Isabelle!!! Drop the knife right now!!!” I yelled. She sighed but placed the knife on the counter and stormed out the room.
“Crazy bitch,” Cameron said rubbing his neck.
“Get out Cameron,” I said coldly.
“What did I do now?” he asked.
“You tell me,” I asked putting my hands on my waist.
“All I said was that you would like pretty damn hot in a two piece and she went ballistic,” he said pulling out a pack of cigarettes.
“When will you learn Cameron,” I said shaking my head. “Next time, I’m going to let her.”
“I’ll go calm Isabelle down,” Marcos said.
“Right behind you,” Kyle said following Marcos out the room. Alex had his head on the table. He looked exhausted.
“Alex, are you alright?” I asked placing my hand on his head in search of a fever. He sighed and nodded.
“Just fine love,” he mumbled. He closed his eyes and after a few seconds he began to snore silently. I turned to leave the room but Cameron grabbed my wrist.
“Let me go,” I said. He hesitated but let me go.
“I’m sorry,” he said. I shook my head no believing there was any meaning to his words.
“Prove it,” I said storming out the room. I followed the sound of Isabelle cursing Cameron to his grave. Marcos sat watching as Isabelle paced angrily in front of him. She stopped pacing when she saw me.
“I don’t know how you do it!! Two minutes in the same room with that creep would get me arrested!!!” she yelled throwing her hands in the air.
“I can see that. Cameron is a special case. He doesn’t care what people might think about him. That’s the way he is. You should know that considering he is always hanging out with your brother,” I said shaking my head at her.
“I don’t even hang out with Alex anymore,” she said dismissing what I said.
“Marcos, do we have any new information?” I asked changing the subject.
“Well, Angelo, Marcel and I have come to a conclusion that we need to have some sort of team in order to prevent anything loose from the portal. We also all agree that you should be the one to lead the team considering your skilled for the job. But that’s entirely up to you,” he said. I nodded.
“How are we in terms of time?” I asked.
“We’re not sure yet. What we really need to discuss is the roles we are going to play in this operation,” Marcos said. He stood up and cleared his throat. “Everyone is to meet me in my office. Now.”
“We’re right behind you,” I told him as he walked past me. Kyle who was leaning on the wall on my right followed Marcos out the room.
“We’ll talk about this later Isabelle. For now, stay away from Cameron and sharp objects. Tell Angelo about the meeting and I’ll tell Marcel,” I said and she instantly started smiling.
“He’s in his room,” she said pushing me into the hall. I sighed and walked to the closed door. I knocked and waited for a response. The door opened and Marcel stood looking at me.
“Marcos wants all of us in his office now,” I said, taking a step back. He came out of his room, closing the door behind him.
“Lead the way,” he said. I led him up the stair to the room across from the upper library. Everyone was already there. They sat at a large round wooden table. Cameron sat across from Kyle and Isabelle glared at him from her seat next to Angelo. Alex was awake and slouching tiredly in his chair. I sat next in the empty seat next to Kyle and Marcel sat beside me. I could feel Cameron’s eyes on me but I ignored him.
“The first thing we need to establish is who is what. I believe everyone but Angelo and Marcel are Elementals. I just don’t know what Elements you guys are. Isabelle would you like to start?” Marcos asked. She nodded and waved her hands in the air. A sharp wind began to spin around us making the room temperature drop a few degrees. She put her hands down and the wind stopped. Cameron grunted and pulled out a cigarette. He put the end of it near his mouth and blew on it. The cigarette began to burn and he put the top of it to his lips and took a long drag. I rolled my eyes while Kyle tried to hide his laugh. Isabelle waved her hand toward Cameron and his chair flew back causing him to hit the shelf of books behind him. He cursed before jumping to his feet. Isabelle laughed and threw her head back. Alex snicker and shrugged when Cameron glared at him.
