The Elementals #2, Kiki XoXo [best e book reader .TXT] 📗

he asks. I sigh scratching my eyebrow, what will I do with him?

 

"Well, I know he is going to have to take of Sierra." I say after a moment, Theodore narrows his eyes at me. "She will come at me first don't worry! I'll give her watch she asks for!"  he smiles, remembering the other day when she came at me. Just then the door opens and I leave going over to Thayer. I need to talk to him a second about Tatum. 

 

"He answered once, but said something about Tracy." He says as I close the door.

 

"Oh great." I scratch the back of my neck. I thought I was in the clearing with her? I walk over to the window, dealing with her and the queen will be to much. I know it, I barily handled Tracy last time, I almost died twice! I look out the window, and Thayer lays his hands on my shoulders. 

 

"Hey... don't get stressed." He whispers, massaging lightly. "Tatum is taking care of her if something is wrong he will keep her away. He said something about explaining, and working." Thayer tries to explain the short conversation. 

 

"That makes no sense.." I sigh, turning  laying my head on his chest. "Of course shit gets complicated now!" I mumble he laughs.  "What is so funny?" I ask, wrestling out of his grip.  

 

"Lyra, what has you so worried? Right now things are in your favor, why so tense loosen up." He informs me grabbing my arm and pulling me back to him. He tickles my sides, and I laugh trying to break free.  "See it's easy." He whispers in my ear. I turn my head slightly, giving him an innocent kiss.  "Ready?" he asks, smiling and looking down at the crowd of people. I look through the crowd, spotting everyone. Of course this also just happens to be the training lesson that Sebastien and Chaston come to as well. My eyes run over everyone and Sebastien is looking directly at me. A shiver runs throw me, and I wonder why he is looking at me like he is. Elijah is also looking, although I try to not take to much notice to him.  

 

"Stay up here.." I say, leaving his embrace. "I'll get you when I need you." I say, he nods.  As I walk down the stairs, I take deep breaths calming down.  I walk over to Theodore and Janessa, telling them to keep quiet and to keep their thoughts on training only for right now, but I'm sure it's to late Elijah has probably already went through their minds. Behind me there is a loud snap, and lightening strikes down next to me. I close my eyes taking another deep breath. I started thinking she let it go, but that would've been to easy. I try to ignore her, it was one strike. I don't want to cause a scene either. A little while ago I would've but right now I need to stay focused. 

 

"Chickening out?"  She laughs, and I ball my fists. "Figured you couldn't win!" She laughs, I role my eyes. She asked for it! I turn around, slowly walking over to her. 

 

"Why don't we do this the right way?" I smile gesturing towards the sparring ring. She smiles, agreeing with me. I glance at Thayer and he watching me intently giving me a warning.  I reasure him, and follow Sierra onto the mat. Theodore runs after us standing as the reff, he whispers a warning to me and I nod. No major damage. "Knock out on the table or not?" I  ask getting into place. 

 

"On." Sierra growls. I smile, well she knows whats coming to her. Theodore starts the match, and Sierra circles me.  She throws a couple punches easily dodged. She is mad and worked up and can't fight me properly. This isn't a fair fight. 

 

"Time out!" I say, and she laughs talking about how I'm scared. I make my way over to Theodore. "This isn't a fair fight, I can't fight her. She is running off adrenaline she can't fight properly." I whisper, and he nods. 

 

"She asked for it, Lyra." He sighs. "I'd just do it, and let her know now." He says. I scratch my eyebrow. He knows I'm gonna win. I go back up, Getting back into position, all eyes on us right now. Theordore blows his whistle again, and Sierra kicks right away. I grab her foot twisting it lightly, and throwing her off.  She circles again punching randomly. I role my eyes and yawn. I block a punch and sned her off balance she goes to the mat.  She stands up right away, obviously her adrenline is starting to whither down. 

 

"Is that all you have? Why haven't you attacked?" She asks, circling some more. I don't reply, how long does she expect to do this for? 

 

"Lyra, quite playing with her. Just get it over with, we have to move on." Theodore speaks loud and clear. I nod, ducking from another random punch.  I reach up grabbing her arm, and pulling her into me kneeing her in the gut, I let go of her and she stumbles off. I don't wait for he to regain her balance, going in for the kill I decide on just a normal superman punch, and she is down out cold.  "Elijah." Theodore says, as I look down at her sad defeat. I watch as Elijah comes over to her and starts checking her vitals and all that stupid stuff. I didn't kill her, she is just gonna be asleep for a while. 

 

"How was it? It's been a while." I ask shaking out my fist. Stung a little, I'm used to having my hands wrapped.

 

"Pretty good. You could've just gave her a kick, ad it would've been done." He laughs as we do our hand shake.

 

"Kicks hurt more though." I sigh. "She got off easy." He laughs, and the rest of us get started on training.

Chapter 8

 I keep looking up at Thayer, he is on the phone with Tatum and I have no idea how the conversation is going. His expression goes from good to bad, and I wish I could just go up and talk to Tatum myself. I want to know about Tracy! I mean if she is back on her Lyra needs to die bend then I should know! I'm happy to see the other girls aren't as adrenline ran as Sierra was and they are good fighters. Janessa is the most in tune with combat fighting, Flora and Asia are good with there powers, and Sierra... well she is getting there. She must've skipped a lot of something. I wonder what the air elemental was like... I don't even know her name. I just know that her power was transferred to me, which I don't know why. I still don't even know what killed her! I don't know how I lost my memories. I need to talk to these guys about more then one topic.

 

I stay around Theodore and Janessa, as we idle around watching the others and training at the same time.  Elijah is with Sierra, watching just in case she might have brain damage. I laughed at that, because I wouldn't have caused her brain damage. I could've if I really wanted to, but I need her so I took it easy. Chaston and Sebastien are watching all of us and talking about something, which seems to be very important, they're really into their conversation. I glance back up at Thayer, and I see Tatum next to him, and I smile happy he finally shows up. I excuse myself, and run up there not wasting time I ask what's going on.

 

"We had a problem with a bunch of crows." Tatum informs me. "You're right, and I'll get who ever I can to help. Tracy already agreed." 

 

"So she isn't tryinig to kill me?!" I say my spirit rising. A girl like her helping us? Sounds like a good deal to me! She is ruthless and wont hesitate to kill, maybe she can be on queen duty. Although that's my job, since I started all of this. Who said anything about killing the queen though? I panic, are we going to kill her? I look down at Sebastien and Chaston, they're still talking intently. If  I .. or anyone killed there only living parent how wouldthey take it?  I assume not good, but if it comes to a choice and she needs to be taken out. I will do it.  "Okay that's great! Now we just have to get the these guys." I gesture towards everyone in the training center.

 

"Even Elijah?" Tatum asks, and I look at him. He has his thinking face on again, as he watches Sierra. "He can read minds Lyra,  having him wouldn't be a bad thing. More then likely he already knows what you're planning anyways." 

 

"Exactly." I speak, still watching him. If he is listening, I want him to know where he stands with me. "He does know what we're planning, but he hasn't made any move to help us. Although he hasn't made any against us either. I don't know where he stands, but I hope he knows once he chooses there isn't a second choice." I turn away, and back to the two boys in the room with me. They're both watching me, they don't believe me.  "Right now the fact that we are partners means nothing! I want to get all of this done and over with, then go back to Caswan and get married." I say leaving the room. This damned partner bond is making things difficult, and for all I care it coud not exist! If we weren't partners then the queen wouldn't be so crazy towards me maybe. Although she still might've dabbled with the evil side so we still might've been here at this point. Things would be easier though without it. I wouldn't have to worry about my future with Thayer, I wouldn't have to act so weird around Elijah, and I wouldn't have the feeling I do towards him. He would be the queens dog, although that doesn't sound fair me being happy and him not.  I go to the bathroom, I need to clear my head.

 

Looking back at my reflection, I see a girl white hair, sleepy eyes, pale skin. She is tired and scared. She is weak. The next thing I know the mirror is broken, and there is glass everywhere including stuck in my hand. I mumble swear words picking out the glass as my hand lets out little drips of blood everywhere. I wish my hand in the sink watching the water turn red. I let the water run over my bleeding hand as I start picking up the bigger chunks of glass with my other tossing it all in the garbage. I'm gonna have to tell Theodore about the mirror. Hopefully he wont be mad, I mean it's not like there isn't another three mirror next to the one I broke. The door opens as I start picking more pieces out of my hand, that I missed before. 

 

"Tell Theodore I'm sorry for the mirror." I say, expecting Janessa. When there isn't a reply, I
