THE FIFTH ELEMENT 🌊🔥🌪️⛰️☯️
Chapter 33🔥🔥🔥
~
Jake's POV ~🔥🔥🔥
~
After the instructor asked everyone to choose a partner, Madeline walked over to me before I could even think about who to pair up with.
I didn't want to be rude by saying no so I just went ahead and paired with her.
During our fight, she kept telling me how Cassie and Damon were going to be a couple soon which was really annoying to hear.
I tried to ignore her statements the best I could otherwise I might have really hurt her out of anger.
She talked way too much for my liking.
I noticed that the elementals stayed back to watch the fights between students which I thought was weird.
But then I knew immediately that they came to observe Cassie. It had to be the reason.
Madeline succeeded several times in blocking my advancing fire balls and laser attacks with her magic solid flat rocks that seemed impenetrable and which Ofcourse I thought was awesome.
After several trials and success, we both took a break from training and that was when I decided to take a sneak peek at Cassie.
She was paired up with Sage and they were having a serious conversation, sage didn't look happy about something and neither did Cassie.
I wondered what they were talking about.
I saw Sage leave the center after they were done talking but Cassie left not long after her.
I decided to follow her.
I followed her to the very same abandoned building where I normally go to when I wanted some fresh air.
I stopped in my tracks when she went towards the balcony.
Maybe she wanted to be alone.
She stood there for some minutes then the next thing I knew, she started walking towards the edge of the balcony without stopping.
Is she seriously trying to jump?
I got scared for a second and ran to catch her before it was too late.
"Hold on!" I said to her while trying to lift her up.
She didn't weigh much so it was pretty easy for me to lift her up.
Immediately she got on her feet, she clung to me obviously still shaken by her almost falling.
An instinct to console her just kicked in.
"Hey it's okay.... it's okay..I got you." I said to her while running my hands through her hair gently.
We stayed at that position and spot for almost 10 minutes before I felt her moving in my arms.
Something about being close to her this way gave me warmth and peace.
And I can't ignore the fact that it made my heart race. In a good way.
She detached herself from me and wiped out some tears from her eyes.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to bother you." She said to me while trying not to look at me.
"I'm not bothered. And I'm glad I came in on time. What was that? Are you... okay?" I asked her still worried about her.
"Yeah I'm okay. I just kinda slipped there." She said to me still looking down.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked her.
"I just... I'm finding it difficult to deal with all of this. A month ago I didn't even know this place existed and now I'm supposed to just accept everything and just fit in. It's not that easy. And I feel like I don't even know exactly what I'm doing or what I'm supposed to do here. All the secrets and hiding is just getting to me. I just wish I knew what I was doing then maybe it'll all make sense to me. And I miss my mom too." She explained to me while talking really fast.
"I'm sorry." I said to her.
"What are you sorry for? It's not your fault this is my life now." She said finally looking at me.
"Yeah. But still, I'm sorry. You didn't ask for this but it's quite unfortunate that it's what you're getting. You deserve a better life." I said to her and smiled.
"Thanks." She replied and smiled back.
"Look, I'm sorry about the way I spoke to you earlier in the training center. I really do want you to be safe and I didn't mean to get mad at you for talking with Damon." I tried to apologize.
"It's okay. You don't have to apologize." She said to me.
"Yeah I do." I said to her and noticed the cut she had on her face.
I touched it softly but briefly and then quickly recovered.
"Sage isn't playing. I'm going to have to repay her brother for this." I said to Cassie and she almost laughed.
"It's fine. It's just a small cut. You don't have to fight Damon, and it's Sage's doing anyway." She said when she stopped laughing.
I couldn't help but smile as well.
She's very beautiful.
"Yeah I know. But I can't fight Sage because she's scary but Damon on the other hand, I can handle easily." I said just to lift her mood up and just as expected she laughed at my joke.
"You have a point. Sage is kinda scary." She said to me with pursed lips and amusement all over her face.
"So Can I ask you what exactly you were doing or thinking that made you almost fall off?" I decided to ask her.
"Um...I was just trying something." She said.
"What were you trying?"
"To see my mom. Something like that." She said and looked down.
"See your mom? How did you intend to do that?" I asked her.
"A little magic. Like the GPS thing I did with Phoebe and Damon." She said to me.
And that piqued my interest once more.
"Really? Well did you.....see her? Did you succeed?" I asked her.
She furrowed her eyebrows.
"I'm not sure. I don't think so." She replied clearly not sure.
"So you didn't see her location then?" I asked her and she nodded looking a bit sad again.
"Hey that's okay. I'm sure with a little more practice, you'll be able to find and see her from anywhere in the world. Infact you'll be able to find anyone at anytime." I said to her and she smiled.
Yes. I'm definitely right about her. She's the key to helping me find my father.
We both stood there staring at each other for almost a minute before I decided to say something because I felt myself almost getting carried away by her eyes and allure.
"Do you want to go have lunch? If that's that's okay with you?" I summoned the courage to ask.
"Me?... I mean Yes! Ofcourse I do. I mean... yeah sure we can have lunch and besides I'm getting hungry anyway. " She said to me trying not to sound too excited.
I just chuckled slightly.
"Okay. Let's eh ....go to the cafeteria then." I said to her and she nodded.
~
We were walking side by side and so close to each other and I tried everything I could not to make any contact with her.
I noticed we were getting some stares from people but I didn't really care about that. I was only fully paying attention to the girl walking besides me.
We sat down at an empty seat at the table after getting our food from the lunch lady.
We both ate quietly, constantly giving slight glances to each other.
I don't know why all my problems seemed to have disappeared just by looking at her.
She made me happy.
But I know I can't let it get any further than this.
We're at war like the principal said, and this isn't the time for falling for someone.
'Am I really falling for her?' I thought to myself.

Damon's POV~
~
After almost an hour of training with my partner, I decided to take a break. Even though my training partner was very much against me leaving in the middle of our training.
I didn't even want to be here in the first place. I just came for Cassie.
I saw that she was paired up with my sister, Sage.
Ouch.
I guess I'll apologize to her later on my sister's behalf.
I left the training center immediately I saw that my Mother and the other Elementals were gone.
Did mother really have to come here?
She asked me to keep a close eye on Cassie but I guess she also wanted to do so herself.
She keeps telling me how important Cassie's roll is in the upcoming war or whatever that was coming which I didn't really understand.
As far as I know, I haven't particularly seen anything yet about Cassie that'd make my Mom so anxious.
I guess I'd have to get really close to her to see for myself what I need to know.
She said she had her own secrets and I'd very much like to know what it is.
If it's something too important then I guess there'd be a need to tell my Mother but if its not that necessarily important, I'll just keep it to myself.
I went to the cafeteria much later to get something to eat and then saw Jake with Cassie eating together.
I instantly got jealous.
I sat at one corner at the end of the cafeteria, observing them.
Please don't tell me you like him Cassie.
I've already made plans of asking you out and I can't be rejected because of him.
I have to do something.
I decided to take my food over to their table.
I sat down with them at the table and innocently smirked at Cassie.
"Hey Cassie." I said to her and she looked at me with utter confusion.
"Hi. Damon." She replied.
"How was your training with Sage. Did she pick on you too much? Do you want me to teach her a lesson later?" I asked her.
"Um... She didn't pick on me. My training with her was very educating for me." She said and gave me a small smile.
I noticed a small cut she had on her face. It was still fresh so that means she got it from the fight.
"Did she do this?" I asked her and touched her face and but she shifted from my touch just as quickly.
I was taken aback when my can of soda burst up in flames.
I won't lie, I jumped a bit because of the loud sound.
I looked at Jake and saw him fuming at his seat giving me a death glare which made me smirk.
"Geez man. I haven't even taken a sip of my soda yet." I said a little bit amused.
"Are you purposely trying to piss me off? Because if you are, it's working." Jake said to me.
"Good. I'm glad it is. So what now? What are you going to do next? Because I really want to know." I said to him and smirked.
He stood up forcefully from his seat to attack me with a punch but I was quick enough to dodge it and ended up punching him Instead.
"You're dead meat." He said to me and flamed his hands up.
His hands was all fire now.
This is dangerous.
I in turn, transformed completely to water to avoid getting burned or scorched.
He advanced towards me but stopped midway.
His hand that he set over to hit me with was stuck in air like a force was holding him in place. Preventing him from hitting me.
It was weird until I heard Cassie speak.
"Stop!." She yelled out while staring at Jake in complete horror.
"Bring your hand down!" She yelled at him and Jake brought his hand down just as quickly.
"Now. Calm down." She said softly and yet like a command.
Jake's flaming hand suddenly died down.
And that's when I realized. She was controlling him in someway.
This must be the mind control her power was all about.
Intriguing.
