THE FIFTH ELEMENT 🌊🔥🌪️⛰️🌀
~Chapter 41🌪️🌪️🌪️~
~Phoebe's POV 🌪️🌪️🌪️~
~ Jake led the way and we all followed, everything about this woods creeped me out. It was so quiet, I even tried to listen with my powers but there was absolute silence surrounding us. The only sound that was heard was our footsteps thudding the ground, and our feets crushing the fallen leafs as we walked by.
"Hey Phoebe, Are you getting anything?" Jake asked me.
"No. There's nothing for Miles." I replied.
"Miles?? Oh geez. This is going to be a longgg journey." Madeline commented.
"Gia how about you? Anything?" Jake asked Gia.
"Not yet. We need to go further." She said to him.
"So umm Phoebe right?" One of Jake's friend, Greg asked me while coming closer to walk beside me.
"Yeah." I simply said.
"Nice name. Well I'm Greg." He said and smiled.
I looked up at him weirdly and said, "I know."
"You know, you seem like a very cool person, how come we've never hung out before?" He asked me.
"Because each element usually now keep to themselves and hang out with their fellow element?" I answer unsure what exactly and why he asked me that.
"Yeah. That's true. It sucks that we all have to discriminate each other like that. But hey how about we hang out when everything is said and done and we're back home." He said to me.
I didn't know what to answer him,did he just ask me out?
"Um. Right." I said and briefly looked at him with pursed lips and focused back on the road.
He simply just smiled.
I don't really know if I can have something with someone from the fire clan. My father wouldn't like that in any way.
I once had a big crush on Jake and Damon back in the day, might still do just a little.
But I can remember how angry my dad got when he overheard me telling one of my friends about my little crush on these boys.
He warned me not to have anything to do with either of them. And that he had his reasons. Ever since then I tried my best to ignore it all. And I've been doing great.
I was still lost in my own thoughts when Gia suddenly spoke. "Wait wait wait. Let's stop here. I need to check again."
She said and knelt down to touch the ground once again. Her eyes were closed this time and it looked like she was feeling the energy of the earth. Her hands were glowing a little bit of green.
"I'll make sure to avoid touching her hands not with all the dirt she's got going on on it." Damon commented.
"You think this is easy? And don't you try to ridicule her, we wouldn't have gotten this far without her. So you better appreciate every dirt she got on her hands. And We earth elementals rock." Madeline said sassily to Damon.
"Right. You guys DO rock actually." Damon said and smirked.
"Keep it down." Jake said to them.
"Who made him the Boss." Damon said and shaked his head.
"Dude seriously, stop." Cara said to him and Damon just smirked at her.
"Ok I got something. That way." Gia pointed to a direction and Jake nodded.
"Okay guys let's move." Jake said to everyone and continued leading the way.
~🌪️🌪️🌪️~
"Come on! We've been walking for ages now. Aren't we there yet?" Madeline fussed.
"Yeah. Shouldn't we atleast be getting closer, we have been walking for quite a while now." Cara agreed with her.
"Are you sure you really know what you're doing miss compass?" Damon asked.
"Please don't tell me we're Lost." Greg also commented.
Sage and Nick just sighed.
"We're not lost. And yes I'm well aware of what I'm doing. If you didn't think I was good enough then why ask for my help anyway?" Gia said sounding annoyed.
"Sorry. I'm just so tired of walking." Madeline said.
"And you don't think I am?" Gia responded.
Madeline scrunched her face and said, "Right. Sorry."
"Whatever. Just let me check again." Gia said and reached out to the ground again.
I know she's also tired just like everyone is.
I decided to check out the surrounding as well. I blocked out all their mumbles and sighs and noise and strained my ears to listen far.
At first it was all still quiet, I almost stopped listening... But then, that was when I heard something or somethings.
"Guys?" I say slowly but they didn't pay any attention to my calling.
I heard the noise again, this time it was clearer, sharper and approaching to our direction really fast.
"Guys!!!!!!!" I yelled out and then they all turned to me.
"What is it? Do you hear something?" Jake rushed to my side and asked.
"They're coming. They're coming towards us really fast." I managed to say.
I suddenly felt so scared.
Of course something like this was expected to happen but it still felt unreal.
"Okay okay. Everyone don't panic. Just brace yourselves. We knew there would be dangers along the way and this might just be one of it, so keep your guards up and ready yourselves for attack. We don't need to be scared." Jake said to everyone.
The noise kept getting closer.
"Oh geez, this is bad. This is really bad. I don't want to die! My Mom would kill me if I died out here because I went on this journey without her permission." Madeline started panicking.
"Calm down Earth girl. I'm sure anything that's coming can't take all of us at the same time." Damon said and conjured up a water sword with sharp ends.
"He's right. Everyone let's circle in. And get ready." Jake also said and his ball of fire suddenly morphed into a blazing fire sword.
We all followed suit and conjured up our weapons, ready for a fight.
Sage conjured up a long water whip, and set her stance for a fight.
Cara conjured up a fiery bow and arrow.
Greg, a giant looking fire Axe.
Nick, two sets of throwing fire daggers.
Madeline, Two boomerangs with pointy sharp edges made of stone.
And finally Gia with her Sword blazing with green hue.
I conjuring up a spear with a sharp pointy end.
We all stood in a circle facing outwards, waiting.
I kept my ears open as we waited for the impact to arrive.
"Phoebe, how close now?" Jake asked me.
"Really close. I'll count down. Ten.... Nine..." I started counting down as the noise kept getting closer and closer.
I could also hear everyone's heartbeat thudding so fast. I guess I wasn't the only one truly afraid.
"Eight.... Seven...Six....Five....." I kept on counting and everyone kept breathing heavily.
"Four..... Three....Two.....One. They're here." I said almost as a whisper and gulped hard.
We suddenly heard a loud growl coming from the shadows of the woods.
I heard another, then another.
"Three. There's three of them. The monsters." I said aloud but not too loudly.
"Everyone, keep your eyes open on every direction." Jake said to us.
We were all analyzing our surroundings, while ready for any attacks.
Then suddenly one of the monsters came out in view. This one came out from the direction Madeline was facing.
"Guys, it's coming... towards me.." Madeline said shakily, her voice full of fear.
Suddenly the other two creatures came forward as well, trailing towards us really slowly.
"Okay. Me, Damon and Phoebe will take on one creature. Greg, Cara, Gia, you guys take one. Then Sage, Nick and Madeline, you guys take one as well." Jake said and we all complied.
Each team started moving towards the creature as well.
The creature kept screeching at us as we took steps closer to it.
"Come get us you ugly stinking beast!" Damon yelled at the creature and that seemed to have aggravated it the more. Our creature launched itself towards Damon but Jake slid down and swiped his sword at the creature's feet, this caused the creature to growl in pain.
It now faced Jake but Damon quickly threw his sword at it which went through it's shoulder and it winced in pain.
Damon immediately conjured up another sword.
The three of us surrounded our own creature and launched towards it at the same time. Jake and Damon swiped their swords at the creature but it was able to dodge it. The creature's reflexes was swift like an air elemental. I'm guessing this creature has once taken the power of an air elemental.
I used my own speed to circle the creature while throwing my spear severally at it at a go and catching it on each end. It continued to wince in pain and I paused to take a small break but once I tried throwing my spear at it again it caught it swiftly. Jake and Damon seized the opportunity to swipe their swords at the creature on the leg at the same time. This caused the creature to get down on it's knees in pain.
Jake conjured up flames and sent it to the creature's head. The creature screeched in agony and fell to the ground, Damon smirked and used his sword to behead the creature.
"This was fun." Damon commented.
I put my hands on my knees to catch a breath.
When we looked over to the other teams, We saw Cara's team had just taken down their own creature. Now what was left was Sage's team.
"Let's end this quickly." Damon launched himself towards their creature and so did all of us. We swiftly took down the last creature without wasting much time.
"Nice!!!!" Madeline remarked.
"We actually make a very great team." Greg commented.
"Yeah surprisingly we actually do." Damon said sounding surprised to the fact.
"Good job everyone." Jake said and gave an acknowledgement nod to us all. He conjured up fire and torched the creature's bodies with it while we watched them burn.
"Gia, you can continue from where you stopped with the tracking. Time is running fast." Jake said to her and she nodded.
She quickly put her hands on the ground, thankfully this time without any distractions.
"That way. We must go that way." She said and Jake nodded.
We continued our journey deeper into the woods in search of Cassie.
