new recruits

 Lucy was surprised at how many of the kids at the school were prepared to fight Eric. Tony had even managed to get the other elementals that were at the school to help them.

As they were sitting around the common room waiting for the others to get back Lucy took in the appearance of the other elementals. There was Jack, he had spiky blue hair, blue eyes, and Lucy would have guessed his height at around 6’5. His element was Air. Then there was Corey, she had shoulder length blonde hair and blue eyes, she was tall for a girl and Lucy figured she must have been around 6’2. Her element was Water. The last person in Tonys elemental group was Kiara, she had long candy floss pink hair and eyes that were green as emeralds. Apparently elementals weren’t made small, and like Corey Kiara must have been around 6’3. Her element was earth.

The next person to arrive back at the common room was Jessie, she had brought with her Amber and Lucius. Looking at the two newcomers Lucy figured they had to be twins. They both had Jet black hair, green eyes   and apart from the height difference between Ambers 5’5 and Lucius 6’0 there were not many other differences between the two. Lucy was hardly surprised when Jessie told her that they both had the ability to teleport.

After about an hour James and Charlie walked through the common room door followed by four more strangers. James looked to the guy on his left and introduced him as Silvan. Lucy had felt what she thought was a cold breeze drift over her, it was as Silvan took a seat close to where she was sitting that she felt the breeze again and realized it was Silvan, before she had time to blink Silvan produced a single white orchid from behind his back and passed it to Lucy. “A white orchid? They don’t grow around here.” She said to Silvan with a confused look on her face.

“Oh I know which is a shame I mean they are a beautiful flower after all.” Was his reply. “So then where did you get it from?” Lucy asked. “I didn’t get it from anywhere, not in the way that you think anyway, materialization is one of my gifts, I can conjure things from out of nothing.” He said. “Well that must come in useful, wait you said it was one of your gifts? Does that mean you have others?” She asked. “Well I have two gifted parents so I guess I inherited both of their gifts. The ability to materialize was my mother’s gift, my father is a pathfinder.”He replied. Lucy had noticed the look in his eye when he mentioned his mother, she wondered what had happened to her but wasn’t going to ask. “What is a pathfinder exactly?” she asked. “A pathfinder is the name given to the ability to find anyone or anything anywhere on the planet.” He replied.” Awesome” was the only reply Lucy could think of.

Lucy looked across the room at the other guy who had walked into the room with charlie and Kyle. As she took in his appearence she noticed he looked a lot like daniel craig, well if daniel craig was around eighteen that is. He had the same sandy blonde hair and was pretty much the same height, she would have guessed him to be around 5,9.

It was as she was admiring his amazing physique and high cheekbones that she noticed his eyes. Immediately she was mesmerized, he had the eyes of a wolf. She took a step away from him figuring he was on the verge of changing and that was when she felt Nate at her back. "Dont worry hes not changing, his eyes are stuck like that because he was forced to stay in his wolf form a long time ago." he said. "Oh right." said Lucy. She noticed him walking toward her "Hi im Bobby. Sorry if i creeped you out i forgot to put my contacts in this morning." Said bobby with a somewhat shamed look on his face."Oh, no its totally fine it was just a shock seeing wolf eyes when you hadnt changed, kinda thought you were about to go all wolf boy on us." She said with a nervous giggle. "Oh no youd know if i was about to change honey trust me."Replied bobby with a cheeky glint in his striking wolf eyes.

"So have you been in Nates pack long?"Asked Lucy. she noticed Bobby look at Nate, she noticed the nod Nate gave as if he was giving Bobby permission for something, she also noticed the solemn look at had suddenly appeared in Bobbys eyes. "Im sorry Bobby I...."She started to say. "No its fine, its just been so long since anyone has asked me that question. I was born a lycanthrope, thats werewolf to you."Said Bobby with a giggle.

"I joined Nates Pack just after a shaman had forced me into a wolf and made me stay that way for three months, as his guard dog."As he said the last part Lucy noticed the solemn look that had been in his eyes just moments ago had turned to a look of absolute hatred."But why would you stay a wolf why not run?" She asked. "I.. He... he had my mate and our twin boys, he threatened to hurt them if i wasnt a good doggy. I should have just killed him when i had the chance. "Lucy didnt want to ask him what had happened to his family, she opened up her mind to bobbys and immediately she saw images of his family, they were being held captive by the shaman, waiting for the day Bobby would come sweeping in and save them. She grabbed Bobby by the hand and looked him straight in the eye, "Were going to get them back Bobby, I swear it."She said. she felt a single tear slide down her cheek and wiped it away. Bobby didnt say anything in reply he simply sqeezed her hand.

She was about to ask Bobby more questions when she heard a commotion coming from just outside then common room door. As Jessie and Lucy opened the door ready to kick some butt, they were disappointed to see that it was Kyle. He was arguing with some guy who was getting up in his face, the look on Kyle’s face spoke volumes although Lucy had heard then arguing long before the others had, she wondered how many more gifts she was going to pull out of the hypothetical hat.
