The Elementals #1, Kiki XoXo [book club suggestions txt] 📗

Garret found me wandering and wanted to talk to me about the whole moving situation. He called Molly, and now we are sitting,  new part of the castle that was built specifically for us. We are for sure moving to the castle.  I admit it is nice, My room is still the same size and I have my own bathroom still! The kitchen is extremely nice, big enough for Molly to cook lots of big grand meals. All in all nice place, and we will be all moved in in a couple of days. I still haven’t gotten the reason we’re moving yet.  Hence why we are all standing awkwardly in the still not furnished living room, listening to the one item in the here (a clock)  ticking on and on.  The paint on the wall is still drying, so it stinks a little, and I’m not supposed to lean against the wet paint. I don’t know why they don’t just say, he were moving because blah blah blah. Get it over with already.

 

I walk around the room looking out all the window. From the living room, I can see a garden like most windows. Molly and Garret start whispering hastily to each other about something, and I grumble about how dumb the are. I’m still in the room, I can hear the little noises whispering. Walking right out of the room they don’t even notice. I head back to my soon to be bed room, and lookout the two windows, it has. I can see the beach. Again everyone out having a good time, while I’m up here living no life! Sierra and Frederick are all over each other, and Chase and Chaston are acting as if they would never think about going there. What’s up with all the secrets? Sierra and Frederick act like they aren’t together around me. Although I  guess I have no room to talk about secrets. Elijah and I.  Tatum and I(I mean just not telling everyone about Tatum himself). Oh and how could I forget, the whole entire I can also control wind along with Ice. That’s very important as well! Speaking of wind…

 

I move to the middle of my room, and think about wind and air. I’ve always wanted to play with my powers, what better time then now? I feel like I’m going to die of boredom, so why not try and have little fun?

 

Holding up my hand, I point at the ground and twirl my finger. Exactly what I thought would happen happens! A very tiny tornado of wind forms, and twirls along the floor in my room. Twirling my whole wrist now the tornado grows and is now as tall as me! My hair is whipping around from the wind, and I laugh. Still twirling my wrist I wonder how big I can make my little wind storm. I stop twirling my wrist and and I give it a flick, then the tornado is gone. I feel the grin spreading across my face. I need a bigger area, outside! If I go outside I can make it bigger! Running out of my room, I slip right past Molly and Garret who are still whispering (Must be some real serious topic). Running towards the door outside, I think about where I should go. Not the beach obviously. Not a garden either I wouldn’t want to ruin anything. The outdoor basketball court! Is a big open area, where hopefully no one will see me messing around. Making it there I sigh, it’s perfect! Standing right at the center line of the court, I twirling my finger. Again the small wind tunnel forms, and I make it bigger not waisting any time. But how do I get it bigger from here? So far it’s about as tall as me, and I don’t know what else to twirling. Maybe using both hands? I try and it doesn’t work. What is does do makes me giggle. Snow start spurring out of it like a snow storm.  Dropping my wrist, the snow quits and I think of how to make it bigger. Maybe my whole arm needs to twirl? Trying that, I do find another thing I can do. The speed picked up and now it’s moving in a circle like my arm! Testing more theories out, I point my arm in the direction the basketball hoop to my left, and the tornado buzzes over, but it’s to small to do any damage.

 

How do I make it bigger? I bring the storm back over to me, glaring at it wondering how it works. There isn’t any instruction manual anywhere fro me to look at, I’m on my own.  Watching as it spins, I start to pick up what I have to do. Twirl. I have to twirl my whole body! Spinning around once, I look back at my little storm.  I jump with joy, and spin again and again. Every time I spin it gets bigger and bigger! Then I cut it off watching the wind break apart like the snow flake at the end of that Disney movie Frozen!  I wonder if I have to start it small? Maybe it I can make it bigger right away? I grin, and ready myself for twirls. Sure enough the wind gathers again, and it’s bigger then ever! Comparing it’s height to the basketball hoop is practically impossible now! I’m happy the court is back a little away from the palace, otherwise people might’ve seen this. Although I bet they still can see, I shrug my shoulders. Oh well, it will be one less secret I’ve been keeping.  I keep testing different idea’s and working with my powers, and I realize I’m having more fun then I had in a long time, other then kissing Elijah of course.  I want to fly! Smirking, I think of a way for me to maybe fly. I jump right inside the tornado, and I flight straight out with out spinning in circles like you see in movies. Hovering what looks like thousands of feet in the air, I cheer. I did it! I’m flying or hovering what ever! Pointing my arm to different places, I roar with laughter. I’m moving! I do flips in the air, still spinning my wrist, and I dance like an idiot of course.

 

I wonder what happens when I cut it off?

 

Cutting it off while I’m still in the air, I start to plummet down. I scream from fright, and then I twirl as I fall creating a tornado the reaches me still hundreds of feet in the air.  I land feeling nothing, but still I was caught! Whooping and cheering, I make it smaller and smaller until I’m back on the ground. Taking the ponytail from my wrist, I tie my hair back.  Lets test this out. I want to fly, without a tornado under me. There has to be a way! I sit on the ground for a second, thinking about what I could do. My power comes to my with mostly hand gestures, unlike some of the others when they have to sing and dance. I stand up dusting off my butt, I think about what super hero’s do then they fly. Well, Superman hold his arm up. Iron man shoots fire out of his boots and hands. I bet I could force wind under my hands!  I crouch down, rolling my shoulders, taking a deep breath. I thrust my arms down to the ground, and nothing happens. Mumbling t myself, I think of other ways. Thor uses  his mighty hammer, and Green Lantern has his special ring.  I try to fly like Superman does, but like I thought, nothing happens. I really think I was on the something, with the whole entire Iron man idea!  Throwing my arms down, again. I see if I feel a fizzle of power. I do. Okay, so what else do I need to do?

 

“Ms. Castir? What are you doing out here?” A guard asks, walking out towards the basketball court. Of course some one shows up now. At least it wasn’t anyone from the gang, just a guard on patrol. Easy enough to send away

 

“Just messing around.” I reply, holding out my hand. Watching a snowball appear, I smile. This trick never gets old.   “Nothing to worry about. I’m not causing any storms.” I laugh, and he nods  saluting to me. Then he turns around and walks back away. I wait until he is clearly out of sight, tossing the snowball behind me, I think other things I might do to be able to fly. Do I have to say something, maybe yell up up and away! Now I just laugh. Once I focus again, I think about what I’ve seen hero’s do in the movies. I bounce back and forth from foot to foot. Getting antsy, I want to fly dammit! Maybe I’ll fly myself right out of here! Then I’ll ome back though. I wouldn’t want to leave Elijah, not permanently. I feel a lithe rhythm kicking, and I feel power  rise up from my feet. I stop bouncing and it goes away.  Okay, maybe I need a jumping start? Bouncing from foot to foot, I rolling my shoulders one more time. Feeling the power build up, I jump, thrusting my arms down at the same time. So glad I put my hair back in a ponytail, so it stays out of my face!

 

I’m flying! In the air, no tornado under me. I’m flying! I buzz around a hundred feet or so above the court under me, wondering if I can fly higher, and faster. Higher. Faster. Higher. Faster. Just thinking those to words, makes my soar higher and faster! Steering myself towards the castle, I  zoom toward the highest point which is the part with the clock tower! Landing light on the roof, grabbing the point to hold myself steady, I look down. I can see the whole city from up here! Glancing at the basketball court, I can barely see it, it’s so far down. I spot the beach, which i can see actually leads to an ocean. I can just make out the little figures running around, but no way can I tell who is who.

 

“Alright Lyra. Let’s have some fun!” I say to myself, jumping off the roof. I fall loving the feeling of the wind blowing my face, Thrust out my arms, I feel the bust of power that lifts me right back up. I twirl my wrist creating a miniature tornado, I hold it out in front of me. Then I fly into it getting a huge speed boost! Almost to the volt in gymnastics,  when the gymnast jumps to it the go up in the air to perform their trick. Accept this didn’t give me a little boost, this shot me out like I was a bullet going the a gun barrel!  Cheering and whooping even louder then before, I can tell I’ll never bored again! All of a sudden Tatum appears in front of me, and I ram into him. Now I’m falling, and so is he. I tail catching myself in a tornado, and him as well.  “Tatum?” I yell over the wind. He smiles. “Tracy, take your brother!” I yell, no way in hell do I want her mad at me again.

 

“Tracy sent me!” He says, now I’m throughly confused.  The fuck is with this family!?  “I’m supposed to ask you about the girl, that is in the dungeon!” He yells back, and I send him a glare.

 

“You go back and tell Tracy, that I don’t want to talk to you about it! Only her!” I says pushing him of the tornado. I watching him fall, but then he disappears.  Good, I didn’t just kill him. I wonder why is was all smily? I mean I was a complete and total bitch to him like 4 hours ago. I also don’t understand why Tracy
