THE FIFTH ELEMENT 🌊🔥🌪️⛰️☯️

Chapter 29🌪️🌪️🌪️

~

~Phoebe's POV~

I heard something I shouldn't have after the monster hunt yesterday.

Damon isn't just a normal water elemental, he has extra powers, he has ice powers.

I've heard stories from my grandma about how any elemental with extra powers were treated in our world.

They were treated like outcasts, like traitors who couldn't be trusted.... but it's not really their fault for possessing more power, it's just an extra gift from the gods.

But what I've come to understand is we tend to paint bad something we do not and cannot understand.

That is why I also fear for Cassie. Her powers are new, foreign to us, no one has had the fifth element before, we don't know the depts of it or understand it.

And now, there's an ice element among us.

Which has got me thinking.....

How come he has this power?

He must have inherited it from one of his parents. But which one?

Could it be the principal?

Does other top elementals including my father know about this? Or is the principal keeping it a secret from them as well.

We were meant to report someone with extra powers immediately to the top elementals if we ever came across one.

If the principal is keeping this a secret, does it mean she can't be trusted?

I had so many questions in my mind.

I guess I have to pay more attention and listen more closely to find out what I desire to know.

No one must know what I've heard just yet till I gather more information on it.

I'll have to inform my father immediately I'm certain it's the right thing to do.

I woke early in order to get to the training center on time.

Surprisingly, alot of people were already in sight.

I saw Jake working out hard at a corner, he conjured fire blazing weightlifts and was doing some push ups all by himself.

I quickly averted my eyes from him.

Ever since we were kids , I've always had a little crush on him.... Actually I believe every single girl here once atleast had a crush on him. But I was satisfied with admiring him from afar. I dared not embarrass myself in front of him, all in the name of liking him.

Besides, what's the point of dating someone from another elemental clan when you can't ever end up together. It's a disaster.

I joined my fellow Air elementals that was already present at the center.

We the Air clan always liked to keep to ourselves. You would never catch us in an argument, or any flimsy fight or gathering.

Other elementals always thought of us as proud and slick and quiet. But that wasn't the case. We just preferred to get the teas and gossip using our enhanced hearing.

Enhanced hearing is one of the many perks of our magic. We find the way to push the air around us to any direction we want.

We think of ourselves as the invincible ones, superior to all the other elementals.

I caught a glimpse of Cassie and Damon standing very close to each other at one end of the center.

They looked like they were talking about something serious so Ofcourse I had to listen.

Damon's POV~🌊🌊🌊~

I couldn't sleep last night due to the secret Cassie now had about me.

I got up so early and got ready for the day... I needed to talk to Cassie again and go over how important it is not to tell anyone about me.

I was the first person to get to the training center. So I just sat down on the floor and waited for more people to come in.

I saw a few Air Elementals walk in majestically like they owned the place.

I just can't stand how neat and calm they always seemed. It made me feel less of myself. They seemed so sure of themselves, like they didn't have a care in the world, they seemed so peaceful, which always pissed me off about them.

I scoffed to myself and muttered, "Losers."

I sat waiting, after some time, some of my people showed up and they came to stand around me.

Other elementals started filling up the center bit by bit. Then I saw her, Cassie. The girl who knew my secret.

I went to her quickly to start up a conversation.

"Hey Cassie." I tapped her shoulders and she turned back to face me.

"Oh Hi!" She replied looking a little surprised to see me.

"Can we talk?" I asked her.

"Sure. Yeah." She replied.

We moved away from the rest of her friends, Madeline and her likes.

I made sure there wasn't much space between us as I wanted the conversation to be as private as it can be.

"You're so close." Cassie said looking at everywhere but my face.

"Are you uncomfortable?" I asked her a little amused by her reaction.

"Um... Maybe just a little bit." She said using her hand to describe the bit.

"Why? Don't tell me you have a crush on me, is that why you're nervous standing so close to me, because you have a crush on me. " I said to her...I was really enjoying her reactions to my words.

She is adorable.

"What! No way! I don't have a crush on you or anyone for that matter so you are so wrong dude." She said to me with a little high pitched voice.

I chuckled slightly.

"You're really a funny girl, you know." I said to her.

"Oh. No one has ever described me as funny before... but I'm glad I amuse you." She said with pursed lips and a forced smile.

I couldn't help laugh at her expression.

I scattered her hair with one of my hand playfully.

"Hey! It wasn't easy to comb through this hair this morning you know!" She replied and slapped my hand away.

She quickly arranged her hair with her fingers and focused back on me.

"So.. what exactly did you want to talk about?" She asked me innocently.

"Right." I was brought back to the main reason I came here in the first place.

"So... about what you saw me do yesterday." I said to her slowly.

"I know. I won't tell anyone about it if you don't want me to." She said.

"Can I really believe that? How can I trust you to keep my secret?" I asked her.

"You can trust me Damon. I know it's not my place to tell anyone your secret, and I won't. I mean I wouldn't want anyone to tell my secret too. So you just have to trust me on this." She said to me.

I raised an eyebrow.

"Your secret? What? Are you hiding something from me? I thought we were lovers now." I said to her.

"Huh? What are you saying? Lovers? We're not even friends." She fired at me.

I pretended to hold my heart dramatically.

"Ouch! Now you're just breaking my heart intentionally." I said to her.

She shaked her head at me.

"Are you always like this?" She asked me.

"Like what? Charming and handsome?" I asked her.

"A flirt. Are you always a flirt?" She asked me and folded her arms.

"A flirt? Me??? Uh no.. Absolutely not. Although with you around, I should up my game... take a few lessons on how to get the girl. Something like that." I said to her and she face palmed herself.

I chuckled. She's more than adorable.

"Okay um...I should get back to my friends now... that'll be all right?" She asked me.

"Ok okay... I'll let you get back to your friends but don't forget our pact. You can't by any chance let anyone know about me. Okay?" I asked her to finalize everything.

"Okay." She said and smiled.

"And.... I think You should also tell me about your little secret that you're keeping to yourself. You know to balance it all out. I keep your secret, you keep mine. What do you say?" I asked her.

I, for one wanted to know what she could be hiding.

She looked like she was contemplating on it for a second but her face changed to stern the other second.

"I don't know about that Damon.....I don't know if I can trust you, or anyone for that matter. So I think it's best I keep it to myself until am sure who I can trust." She said to me.

I nodded slightly.

"I'm trusting you... So I can only hope you can do the same. See you later." I said to her and went to join my fellow Water Elemental people once more.

I didn't want to push it. But I was certain I'll find out what's she's hiding sooner or later.

~🌊🌊🌊🌊~

Jake's POV~🔥🔥🔥🔥

I was so curious to know what Damon and Cassie was talking about.

I noticed she blushed a few times during their conversation... What is that all about?

When I saw she was alone, I decided to step in.

"Hi" I say to her.

"Hey...hi.....I mean hello..how's it going?" She asked me while nodding her head awkwardly.

She seemed so shocked I was talking to her.

"I saw you talking to Damon." I said to her without looking her in the eye.

There was something about her eyes that drew me in.

"Oh. Yeah. I was." She replied with a low voice.

"What were you two talking about?" I asked her.

"Huh?" She asked me looking taken aback by the question.

"What were you two talking about?" I repeated the question.

"Um sorry but I don't think that's any of your business." She replied coldly.

"I'm just trying to look out for you. You shouldn't be too close to him. He's not good for you." I said to her which made her frown at me.

"Are you being serious right now? Who are you to tell me who's good for me and who isn't? " She said angrily.

"You don't need to get over dramatic... like I said, I'm just trying to look out for you." I said to her.

"Really? Look out for me? You won't even say hi to me properly and now you're acting like some jealous boyfriend?" She said and scoffed.

"Jealous boyfriend? You know what? Forget it, forget I said anything. You wanna be best buds with him, go ahead, I wouldn't give a shit anyway." I said angrily to her and left her standing there.

I don't know why I got so pissed at her.

I just don't want to see her get hurt, that's why I'm genuinely worried about her being close to Damon and she thinks that I'm acting like a jealous boyfriend?

I think I'll go back to staying away from her.

I'll find another way to find my father, somehow.

I can't rely on her if she's close to Damon.

And under no circumstance should I even think about falling for her.
