Chapter 2 Leader

We were in the car for hours, I jumped up when I saw the mountains. We are finally here, Blake, let's see who you are.

          We were walking to the mountains from the closest parking lot. We passed this girl, she was around fifteen, she had brown hair, bob, pale skin, brown eyes, wearing a pink tank-top, and a green mini-skirt. When I saw her, there was something telling me to go to her, telling me to change her.

          Holly must have felt it too; she walked up to her, and said "Hi." When she said that, she collapsed to the ground. I heard a bone snap, but she got right up. Her eyes changed to a dull pink color.

          "Hello, I'm Lilly.  I have been waiting for you." Lilly said.

          "Hello, I'm Holly, and this is Olivia. We have been searching for you." She said with a grin on her lips.

          "Wait, what about Blake? I thought we were searching for him?" I asked.

          "We are supposed to search for all the other gods and goddess. There are a lot." Holly asked, staring at me with those big red eyes, grin still there.

          We continued up the mountain with Lilly following us. We made it to a cliff, Holly put one of her hands to her mouth, and yelled, "Blake!" I heard these pebbles tumble, and a soft voice, "I'm up here!" I looked up, there was somebody up there, I couldn't make out what he looked like though, all I saw was brown hair.

          Holly saw me looking up, looked up, and said "You heard him? Really? I didn't hear a thing."

          "That's Blake? What god is he? Rock?" I asked.

          "Yes he is. How could you tell? Was it the mountains?" Holly replied.

          "What about Lilly? What Goddess is she?" I asked, my eyes on Blake.

          "I don't know. Lilly, what is your element?" Holly asked Lilly.

          I looked at Lilly. I stared at her pale pink eyes. Pain.

          "Holly? There is a voice in my head. It told me she's the goddess of Pain." I told her.

          "That must be Plant. She always tries to help."

          Thanks Plant. No. No? Are you not Plant? Yes. Well then what should I call you? Maxine. Maxine? Why Maxine? Because, I'm the greatest!

                   "Holly. It's not Plant." I told her, my voice shaking.

          "It isn't? Hmm." She knelt down, "Plant, please help us with this mystery."

          I looked up at Blake, he was coming down, but he was still way up there.

          I felt something pull me to a spot, I looked there, and saw Plant.

          "You mustn’t listen to the voice!" She demanded, "It will curse you forever!"

          Holly looked at me with a look of concern.

          "Who is it?" I asked looking down.

          "Your conscience." I looked up in surprise, "Be careful." Those were her last words before she disappeared.

I heard something land behind me, "Whoa, tension."

          I turned around, and saw a thirteen year old kid, he was taller than me, by about a head taller, his hair was reddish-brown and was a curly mess on his head, brown eyes, tan skin, his head was roundish, there was a scar going down his right cheek. He wore a dark red shirt, and black cargo pants.

          "Hi Holly, who are your friends?" He asks nodding towards me and Lilly.

          "Hi Blake, this is my best friend Olivia." Waving a hand towards me, "And this is Lilly." Waving her hand towards Lilly.

          He walks up to me, "Hi Olivia, I'm Blake. You can tell I'm rock, so, what element are you?"

          "I'm Earth. Hi." I said with a smile.

          He eyes got wide, then he got angry, "Your the new leader! You must be, what twelve!"

          I step-back, surprised. What about being the new leader? Why is he angry? What I do?

          Holly came to my rescue, She ran in front of me, fire in her hand, "Blake! She's older than I am! Leave her alone!"

          Blake stared at her than said, "How is she older than you? Your twenty-three!"

          Holly explained what happened to me to Blake, I was killed by my power, and my soul disappeared, and Holly spending ten years to find my soul, so I could complete my destiny.

          "I have a destiny?" I asked, "Is it about finding all the other gods and goddess?"

          Holly turns around, startled, "No, that's mine. Yours is to lead the others through a war, against the darkness that covers everybody’s mind." She looks at Blake when she said the last part.

          Blake mumbled he's sorry, he didn't look me in the eye. Holly noticed that.

          "You say it like you mean it! She's here to save the world!" We are lucky we're alone, Holly screaming would have eyes on us.

          "Holly, it's okay. He doesn't like me, people can't like everybody." I say with a half-hearted grin.

          Blake runs around Holly to me "No, I hurt your feelings. I do like you, I was just angry, I thought someone younger than me would be ordering me around." He says.

          I break free of his grasp, and start walking towards the car. I heard footsteps, and find Lilly right next to me, I also hear Holly hitting Blake.

          "Good job, girl." Lilly says, "Boys are such idiots."

          "Yeah I know, but Blake is stuck traveling with us. I'm afraid Holly might kill him." We both laugh at that.

          "I heard that!" Holly yells at us, we laughed even harder.
