“Onyx, why are we going back to the forest?” Misty asked sounding teary she looked so fragile right now and that only hardened Onyx’s resolution.
“That water Misty tu were attracted to it because it held power and Talia was attracted to it because she can since pure elements” he informed her as they came into the clearing.
“I don’t understand” she said. Onyx looked down at her and smiled.
“When I took a drink I felt cleansed replenished and my cold just disappeared so maybe it may help you. tu didn’t take a drink did you?” Misty shook her head. They were in the cave now and Misty’s voice echoed only a little when she told him.
“No I only let my feet sink into it then I floated to the top. Are tu saying that if I take a drink I will be ok?” Onyx nodded so Misty tentively walked to the waters edge put her hands in and drank.
**************************************************************
The water sent an electrical wave through her body making her tremble and fall luckily her hands hit the rock first Misty gasped her throat burnt and it hurt her to breath but after the shock left her body she took a deep breath and leant backwards. Trying to scramble backwards away from the water Misty didn’t know why but that water wasn’t normal Onyx must be right its magic but how?
“Are tu okay Misty tu looked like tu were in pain” Onyx asked gently grabbing her por her arms and helping her up.
“I was but it wasn’t this water that hurt me Onyx is this salt water?” Misty asked even though she knew the answer she would rather not say it.
“No it’s no why?” Misty walked away then turned back to Onyx.
“It made me think of the ocean and that day, Onyx that water brought back those memories I have to go.” With those words Misty ran well más levitated away so Onyx wouldn’t be able to find her she levitated up to the caves roof and sat there watching him run out of the cave in buscar for the girl who was trying to hide from reality.
*************************************************************
Even though Onyx searched the streets he couldn’t find Misty anywhere and that worried him deeply she had reacted strangely and ran. His friend was too scared to face something and he knew he could help but how. Tired and cold Onyx went inicial hoping Misty would come back sometime during the night.
**************************************************************
Seth picked at his cena not really hungry he was too worried about Misty’s dream talk and how she had reacted when she woke up. His mum was droning on about her new job and Talia was listening attentively as she always did but Seth hated it. Grinding his teeth he picked up his plate and put it in the fridge he would eat it later but for now he needed to walk and thats what he did he walked straight towards the forest and pretty soon he was standing at the mouth of the cave where he heard faint sobbing.
Seth walked in as quietly as he could but every step echoed around him and soon Misty’s face emerged tear stained and puffy from a crying session.
“What are tu doing here?” they both dicho simultaneously. Misty looked away and went to sit back at the waters edge.
“Its fresh water” she whispered and cupped some water with her hands and took a drink with in segundos she was lying down her body writhing in unseen pain. Her screams resounded through the cave then she lay still staring up at the roof.
“Judy my foster mum is dead. I killed her” Misty whispered Seth wasn’t sure wether she was talking to him o herself but he asked anyway.
“How did tu kill her?” she turned her head very slowly and looked at him then then turned back to face the roof her voice was emotionless when she replied.
“I pushed her down the stairs when I sent a gust of wind at her.” Seth was dumbstruck he didn’t know what to say. He didn’t even know he dicho it but it echoed around the cave.
“Why?” Misty was floating high above him in segundos her hair changing into the brightest white he has ever seen. Her flew all around her mostrando a bruise on her cheek that was starting to heal she looked so angry.
“Because she wouldn’t stop, because she was cruel and mean and because I am evil” she screamed then she fell into the water laying lifelessly on the surface.
************************************************************
Misty couldn’t move, her sorrow and guilt kept her down and she slowly sunk under the water and kept sinking she couldn’t see the bottom but she could see light coming up to the left of her. She would have kept sinking if it hadn’t been for Seth who pulled her out of the water she didn’t even cough she just crawled to a dry place and lay he hair was still white but purple streaks were going through it she hadn’t seen the colour before but Onyx had dicho he had when she was so tired from the ocean she was close to death. Tears streamed down her face but she wouldn’t mover Seth was laying siguiente to her his chest rising and falling in uneven patterns. He turned to face her and she heard him gasp then his face was over hers.
“Your hair is purple and your lips are blue. Misty tu need heat I’m going to warm the water and I want tu to sit in it. Normally I would suggest tu sit with me so I can keep tu warm myself but I can’t do that” Misty shook her head she didn’t want to go back into the water not yet. Then she remembered the light and stood up although very shakily.
“There was a light” She whispered “in the water” she spun around then asked. “How long can tu hold your breath under water?” he shrugged then said.
“About thirty to forty segundos maybe less maybe more” she nodded then smiled at him. Misty held out her hand and he took it. Even though she was already soaking wet she took off her shoes and clothes leaving her bathers on underneath.
“Is it common for tu to wear bathers under your clothes?” Seth asked which made Misty smile.
“well Mr heat waves is it common for me to wear bathers under my clothes?” he smiled and pulled of his camisa, camiseta and shorts revealing board shorts underneath she laughed then fell sideways landing on the side of her legs causing it to graze. Seth tried to help her up but she refused then she slipped into the water her pulse quickened and she had to gulp back the salt water taste in her mouth she couldn’t stand the flashbacks of Judy screaming that she was a witch.
“Are tu ok?” Seth asked quietly touching her arm she nodded then took a deep breath and paloma under with Seth holding her hand she swam quickly knowing that Seth couldn’t hold his breath for long. The light loomed up ahead and she quickly paloma under then up through a long tube then emerging when the light shone bright. Seth gasped for air but Misty was already standing up and walking to the trees to empty her quivering stomach the flash backs of Judy hitting her and her body twisted and broken at the bottom of the stairs had been too much. When she stood up she saw a bright moon the biggest she had ever seen. It lit up the whole area. There was a huge field all surrounding it were earth things like rocks and trees and césped, hierba then off to another side were water things like a water fall and a river. Then off to another side was a small volcán very very very small and it puffed out small amounts of lava so it oozed over rocks. Then the last side there was the biggest weeping willow árbol she had ever seen it was well over fifteen metres high and on various stages of the árbol there was little bunk outs and cushions it was a place of power so much power it surged through her veins she floated away from the water and to the árbol where it swayed gently with the breeze she floated up to the first branch and sat there breathing deeply of the air that was apart of her. Seth went to the lava and put his small finger into the lava Misty’s corazón almost stopped seeing the finger then the hand go into the lava. Then she laughed realising he is fire.
***********************************************************
Talia paced the floor waiting for her brother she hadn’t even noticed him walk away from the cocina mesa, tabla she had been so enthralled por her mother’s día at work. It was now eleven thirty at night and he still wasn’t inicial she had already tried his mobile but had had found it in his room.
She had never seen her brother so concerned over someone before it was weird yet beautiful at the same time but something had happened in that cave between them and that something could not have been good.
Finally tired and más than a little worried she fell asleep on the sofá facing the fuego which had been lit to keep the chill out that had crept through the house.
Several hours later Talia woke to someone stoking the fuego which had turned into small embers struggling to stay hot. Seth put his hands on the coals and within a few segundos they were striving licking the new piece of wood with the newly awakened flames.
“Seth where have tu been I was so worried, why are tu wet?” she asked finally noticing he wasn’t wearing a t-shirt but had discarded it over the fuego place railing to dry it.
“I just went for a walk and I lost track of time” was all he dicho before he kissed Talia in between the eyes and went to cama leaving his sister puzzling over what he had really done.
