The Elements

“Turn around, monster.”

After I had my little chat with Raven, he sent 2 of his best guards to escort me to the academy because “You have to pack your things and I know that you girls waste up to 5 hours to pack.“. The fuck he knows. I can do my packing in less then 1 hour if I want, but since he pissed me off, I’ll pack my things as slow as I can.

Anyway, now I have 2 stupid guards escorting me and trying to make me to wear a stupid blindfold because “The location of this place can’t be known.“, and I want to piss them off so bad that they will scream and try to kick me.

“What about no?” I said and crossed my arms stubborn.

Guy1 sighed and rubbed his face while guy2, who’s holding the blindfold, glares at me.

“Listen up, kid. We already waste 15 minutes arguing with you, so if you don’t put this shit on your eyes you will regret making me mad.”

His face is so serious that I feel like laughing. I have a bad habit of laughing in inappropriate situations and I got into lots of problems because of this.

Yeah, because you’re an idiot.

I mentally rolled my eyes and smirked at guy2. “Nope. I refuse to put that thing on and you can’t hurt me. It’s against the rules. TAKE THAT FUCKER!” I yelled the last part when I saw him sending me murderous glares.

“Fine. My way then.” he said and took out of his belt something that looks like a steel stick and when I wanted to give him a sarcastic remark, he hit me in the head with it and shocks of electricity waved through my whole body. I fell on the floor with my teeth gritted to stop any whimper that wanted to come out.

Try to don’t get both of us killed you idiot! Don’t piss him off more then you already have!

Oh, shut the fuck up! I’ll do whatever the fuck I want.

I tried to get up, but when I tried to move my hands, another shock hit my body and I fell back down.

“Stubborn ones don’t have their place here, kid. I told you to not get me mad but you won’t listen.” guy2 raised my head by my hair and wrapped the blindfold around my eyes and tied my hands behind me.

“F-fuck y-you.” I managed to crock out but shit. It hurts to even talk.

He let out an evil laugh. “Butterfly, take this bitch in the van and let’s go. And you bitch, try to not move to much because the shocks will get worse.”

You stupid retarded fuck. I hate that guy so much that I fucking want to snap his neck so bad.

Let’s do it then.

No.

Guy1, or Butterfly, throw me over his shoulder and I let out a whimper because another shock went through my body.

“Sorry girl. It just pisses me off when this grumpy old man calls me butterfly.”

Ohh. So his name is not butterfly. How stupid can I be to think that his name was butterfly!

Apparently, very stupid.

Shut the fuck up.

“I-It’s fine.” I mumbled and he placed on what feels like a car seat.

He patted my head. “There you go. You have to finish packing until 6 because at 6:30, you have to catch a plane.”

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. Nobody said anything about any plane. I mean, I know that Raven wants to get rid of me, but I never thought that he will send me away with a freaking plane!

Well, he wants. Surprise!

I’ll ignore you from now on.

“I guess that he haven’t told you were are you going then?” I could hear that he wasn’t very surprised that Raven omitted a little big thing from his marvelous plan.

“I-I know t-that I h-have to g-go at H.I.D.E.” I said through clenched teeth. Damn, this fucking hurts.

“Yeah, but he haven’t told you where H.I.D.E is, right?” he asked and I just nodded my head a little. Wrong idea.

“Well, I’m not allowed to tell you, but I will tell you because if I do and someone founds out, guilty will be the oldy in the front. H.I.D.E. is located in what the humans call France because even if it exists more then 15 different dimensions, the globe and it’s continents are, basically, the same. Only in some places the climate is different.” he paused to let me process the new information.

This is so awesome! I wasn’t expecting it, but it’s still awesome.

“W-Where are w-we now? A-and the ac-cademy?”

He hesitate a little before he answered. “This place is not to far from the academy and the academy is in....” it was a pause like he was thinking about it “In that place that starts with A and has the Panama canal.”

I chuckled a little and winced. “A-America.”

The sound of snapping fingers was heard. “We are in America! And H.I.D.E is in France, somewhere in east. Nobody knows exactly where, except the leaders, of course. Anyway, I heard that it’s not so bad there. A little rainy, but I guess that that’s all.”

This means I’m going in France? Bonjour mon petit croissants.

Hmm. France sounds good. And we like the rainy weather.

I have to agree with you here, my little voice.

“A-And the c-countries have the s-same names?” I asked curious because I found all this things very interesting.

“Of course not. As you know, our world is ruled by a council formed by a member of each royal family and I think that you observed that every family represents an element.” I nodded my head and ignored the painful shocks. “Every family was the leader of a region or country how you name it, so we have 5 big regions, but some of them are smaller then the others so they are lead by a royal family because we don’t have a rep for every single element. We had but since the war started some of them disappeared: the Frozenbites, the Shinestars and the Watergazes.”

We lost 3 royal family in this shitty and stupid war! Not 1 or 2! Three freaking royal families! That’s so sick.

“That’s s-sick.”

“Yes, it is. We lost lots of people, some of them were vital for our kind and we almost lost the war when the third family was exterminated, but the rest of the royals started to create places like this academy and they created the first Alpha Team. Since then the tradition keeps going in order to prevent the chaos that will come if the darks will win this war.” he sounds sad and angry in at the same time, but I understand him. I don’t like the idea of the darks leading the whole world into an era of darkness.

That’s true, but it truly is good to kill them all?

At first, I thought that it was a good thing, but then I thought that everything is in a balance. What’s going to happen if we break that balance? Or in our situation, if we kill all the darks?

Light can’t exist without darkness and darkness can’t exist without light.

Yes, I know and that’s the problem, but I can’t do anything since I’m send to an asylum.

I shook my head a little. The pain wasn’t so bad anymore so the effect starts to fade.

“What about the regions?”

“Every region has a royal family. The Celests have Mistdail and they assumed Gazestar after the Shinestars died, the Earthquakes have Wildfawn, the Firestorms have Firegate, the Darkbolts have Brightstorm and they took over Rainfort after the Watervapours died and the Moonlights have Boltmountain and took over Snowfair after the Frozenbites died. All of this kingdoms form The Kingdom of Lights which is all lead by elementars, while we also have The Kingdom of Darkness which id lead all by darks. And that’s all for now.”

My head starts to hurt from so much information. But it’s worth it. I like to know about my kingdom and my world.

You mean ex kingdom because you aren’t a princess anymore.

Officially, I’m not anymore but they can’t get it out from my blood. In my veins floods royal blood and I’ll be a princess until I’ll die, even if they like it or not.

“BUTTERFLY!” the oldy yelled and pressed the brakes so hard that I almost flied from my seat. Thank God that Butterfly cached me by my arm.

“Fuck.” B muttered when a door was opened.

“You will stay with me in the front seats because you are getting to friendly with this criminal. What were you 2 talking about?” the oldy demanded more then asked while I heard B exiting the car.

“Nothing.” “Your death.” B and me said in the same time.

The oldy just puffed annoyed and slammed the door shut again. I flied from my seat on the ground when the oldy started the car and took a sharp turn. So since I have enough space to fall face first on the floor, this means that I’m in a van with leather seats. Nice, what can I say.

For the next 15 minutes, that fucker drove like a maniac and took sharp turns just to hear me banging my head on the floor, seats and wincing at every hit. He’s damn lucky that I’m still dizzy from that electric shit he hit me with.

Suddenly, he pressed the brakes and I flied in the wall behind me with a groan. To my bad luck, I hit that wall with my face and I think that I have a broken nose. The back doors cracked when someone opened them and that someone grabbed me by my right ankle and throw me outside, thankfully on the grass.

“You are almost at your ex home monster. I’ll escort you until you enter the apartment.” he said and brought me back on my feet by my left arm, not very nicely I may add, and started to drag me.

I scowled. “I like your nicknames for me and no thanks. I prefer B because you stink of old bullshit.”

B chuckled from behind us, making me to smirk, while the oldy thighs his hold on me and starts to walk so fast that he literally drags me.

“Slow down fucker! My feet hurt!” I said and started to trash around. We are now walking upstairs and he walks so fast that my feet are hitting every step almost breaking my ankles.

Kill this shit of a person. I know that you want to.

I want, but I won’t do that because that’s exactly what he wants. He wants me to lose my cool.

Fine. But if you change your mind I’m here.

“I don’t care and we are here already.” he said and throw me on the floor again.

Why the fuck we don’t have a carpet in the living room??

That oldy untied my arms and the blindfold. “It’s 3 PM. You have time to pack what you need in 3 hours before we have to leave again. You can say goodbye too, because you won’t come back here again, but wait. Everybody hates you! What a shame!” he said on a sweet tone.

I sent him a death glare and got up from the floor. “I hope that you will root in hell.”

He smirked and walked to the exit. “I’ll be there right next to you, monster.”

A growl vibrated in my chest and I walked up in my room before I’ll kill him and get in more problems.

When I arrived in my room, I closed the door and walked into the bathroom. When I saw myself in the mirror, I could swear that the girl I was seeing there, it wasn’t me. My hair which was in a high ponytail, is now very loosen and my hair was all over the place. My skin was paler then usual while my once bright blue eyes were now a dull blue, almost green. My eyes were accessorized with dark bags under them. My nose is red from all the hits I took and my bottom lip was busted on the right corner.

I looked at me dead in the eyes and I saw nothing, except sadness and tiredness. No more happiness and warmness in them. They are just 2 blue balls of sadness looking around lost not knowing what the fuck to do anymore.

My right fist connected with the mirror and I don’t know if the crack noise was from the mirror breaking or from my fist breaking. Pieces of bloody glass were falling into the sink and I was watching them too tired to feel anything.

After 5 minutes, I calmed down and started to pack my things after I cleaned my fist. Two big red suitcases were placed on my bed, waiting patiently for me to fill them. I filled one with my favorites hoodies, jeans and sweatpants since B said that the weather is rainy there, while the other suitcase was filled with all my favorite pairs of shoes and creams, deodorants, perfumes and other little things.

I took a step back and look around. Am I forgetting something?

Phone? Laptop? Earphones?

I’m not allowed with a phone or laptop because I could try to contact my old friends from here. I’ll take my iPod and earphones.....After I’ll remember where I put it.

“I know!” I bent down and looked under my bed. I like to fall asleep listening to music and somewhere in the middle of the night, my iPod flies from my bed and hides from me under it. I took it from under my bed and when I raised my head I saw something on my nightstand. There was a pack of tropical jellies, which were my favorite, some papers and a little box.

Me, being the curious minion I am, I took the little box first and studied it. It was black with a grey ribbon on top of it. I shook it and it didn’t sounded like a prank. I slowly opened the box and gasped when I saw what’s inside. There was a silver ring. I looked closer at it and I observed that it was a stress ring. It was all silver except the little bar, that should be moving in order to relieve stress, which was black and has a lightning bolt patter.

A small smile appeared on my face as I placed in on my big finger. Don’t judge me, I always wanted to wear a ring on that finger.

Next, I took the papers but they weren’t actually papers. They were pictures with me and the idiots. The smile from my face disappeared and it was replaced with a thin line.

I can’t look at this pictures without remembering what happened. I shoved the pictures in one of the in pockets of the suitcase. Right now, I don’t want to be distracted by insignificant little things like those, when I need to calm down and pack.

After I frenetically ran around my room to check everything for 5 time, I decided that it’s time to close the suitcases.

“Damn you hoodies.” I mumbles angrily while sitting on the suitcases and trying to close it. After the 3rd jump I did on the suitcase, it finally closed.

I jumped back on my feet and cracked my fingers. Good. Now let’s change from this sweaty and bloody clothes because I’m wearing the clothes I had at the team meeting. A dry chuckle escaped my lips at the word ‘team’.

What should I wear?

I don’t know what you should wear, but I know that you should shower first because you stink.

Good point. I walked into the bathroom and showered using the shower gel I forgot to pack because I never thought that I should shower there. Why would I need a shower when I can kill them with my stinking?

At last we won’t be sent away or killed because we won’t exactly kill them.

You’re sick. I thought as I ran in the close because I was freezing cold. I quickly dressed in all black, yes even my panties you perverts.

I stick my head out from my clothes to look at the clock as I was putting my pants on.

17:49 PM

Fuck. How long I stayed in that shower?? I took a nap in there and I can’t remember??

I swear that it wasn’t my fault! I didn’t made you black out!

No shit, Sherlock. I know that it’s not your fault.

I dragged the suitcases outside the room and stopped.

“Time to leave.” I sighed and turned around to look one last time at the room.

Memories of me and Sparky staying up all the night to talk, or with Hazel would barging in our room with his trumpet to wake us up, flashed before my eyes. My chest tightens at those memories so I quickly closed the door and dragged the suitcases down the stairs.

A part of me was hoping that when I’ll enter the living room, all of them will be there to say goodbye. But it looks like hoping is for people that have nothing left so they have to just hope that something will magically happen.

No one was in the living room. Nor the kitchen. Nor in the house. All of them were probably at school, enjoying their day, forgetting about me.

Honey, I think that they already forgot you.

Maybe you are right.

Even if I think that they forgot me, I was playing with my ring. The ring that one of them left there for me. At last one of them cared or that’s what I want to believe.

Hope? Believe? What are this undefined words? The Shadow I know, would only accept certain things like ‘I know’, no ‘I hope’ or ‘I believe’.

I chuckled as I exited the house, this time without looking back.

That Shadow is longer gone, my little voice.

“I’m done. We can go.” I said monotone and walked past oldy.

I heard him scoff. “You are late with 2 minutes.”

“At last I’m here now.” I bite back and jumped in the back of the van with the suitcases.

Oldy slammed shut the doors again as I placed my earphones in my ears and listened to Oh Ms Believer by Twenty one pilots. I swear that their songs are caressing my soul and calming down my demons.

Five times in a row I listened to this song, I wanted to listen to it for the sixth time, but oldy opened the back door.

“Get out.” he ordered but at last he helped me with the suitcases.

“So you still have a very little spark of kindness in you, huh?” I teased as we walked in the airport.

“Shut up.” he mumbled and shoved them at me along with my ticket. “Gate 3, private class. When you hear the flight to France at gate 3, go there and Au revoir!”

I glared at him and I wanted to tell him some profanities, but I was interrupted by a voice.

The flight number 1934 to France is leaving in 10 minutes. The embark is made through gate 3 for the next 5 minutes. Thank you.

“Au revoir, asshole. See you on the other side in hell.” I told the fucker with a smirk and walked to gate 3.

The airport wasn’t very crowded and I can only see middle age people. I don’t understand why they look middle aged since we can decided at which age we want to stop ageing, but whatever.

“Hello. Your ticket please.” a lady said and pulled me out of my trace.

I gave her my ticket and she let me pass through the gate. I looked back one last time and sighed a little in pain.

So that’s it? No goodbye, no you are a dump ass for what you did? Nothing? I just have to leave without any fight, goodbye or I don’t know, anything else?

The ring was spinning on my finger as my mind was racing. Raven was right. This really is the best punishment for me. I’ll be alone in a new place with new scars on my soul and more questions on my mind.

With one last thought I walked in the airplane to search for my seat.

It’s the end for now, but we will meet again and you will wish that we hadn’t meet again. I’ll make sure of it.
