Chapter 5 Drama

          "Where are we going?" I asked. We were in Holly's front yard.

          "I don't know, we need to listen to our powers." Holly replied, "Ask Plant, maybe she has some idea."

          Plant, please guide us to another elemental. I thought. Turn right, keep going till I tell you otherwise.

          "We are suppose to go right, and walk straight, till Plant tells us otherwise." I said.

          Lilly stares at me, and says, "What is a power exactly? I have seen them, and I seen you answer them, but what are they?"

          "Powers are the first elemental god, they keep the elemental power going and living till the next elemental comes. You don't have a power?" Says Holly.

          "No I don't have a power. Does that mean I'm the first Pain goddess?" Lilly asks.

          "Guess so. Lets go, that direction." Holly points the way, and we started walking.

          I walked in between Blake and Holly, Blake on my left, Holly right, Lilly was on Holly's right. We had  giant backpacks on our backs, mine was filled with food, Blake's, sleeping bags and pillows, Holly's, clothes, Lilly's, water bottles.

          I felt Blake's hand brushed past mine, I grabbed his hand, and smiled up at him, he blushed, but didn't argue. I felt goose bumps on the right side of neck, Holly's angry.

          We walked for about a hour, in silence. Holly making the tension grow. I let go of Blake's hand, but his grip tightened, "Please don't let go, I'm afraid Holly might kill me."

          "I wouldn't kill you, you make Olivia happy, just harm you." I laughed.

          "Hey! That's not funny! Olivia!" I laughed even more.

          Turn left, "Turn left." I said, suddenly calm, we turned left, "Wait, why are we listening to Plant? Why not your guy's powers? Plant doesn't have to do all the work." I asked.

          "Well Flame is sleeping, I finished my training at age twelve." Holly said.

          "My power, Gravel, has been yelling at me. So I think he's no good." Blake says, with a grin on his face.

          "About what?" I asked.

          "About not belonging with someone high in power." He replied.

          What does that mean? Rock isn't one of the first powers; Earth isn't only first, but the Queen of the Elementals. Well I don't care; He is the best guy I ever met. Good. Good? Why good? Plant was quiet.

          "Plant went silent." I said.

          "Powers can't talk about stuff that affects the future." Holly told me, "What were you asking her?"

          "Blake," I looked at Blake, "Apparently I'm the Queen of the Elementals." I grinned at Holly, "I'm not the bottom of the popularity chain anymore." I raised my right hand; my left was still in the grip of Blake, and me and Holly hi-fived.

          "No way you were at the bottom, you are so nice, and pretty, a hard combination to come by. Who wouldn't like you?" Blake said.

          "I don't think I'm pretty, I kept to myself, and niceness doesn't count for anything. Sorry, but I'm not perfect." I told him.

          "Yes, you are perfect; don't let anybody tell you otherwise." He looked away, and let go of my hand.

          Sadness rushed over me. I looked at the surroundings. We were in a forest, nobody around to see us. I saw a blade of grass die. I looked behind me, there was a row of grass dying where I walking. I see why Plant brought us here; I need to cheer up, how could I walk in public when I'm killing grass?

          Why was Blake mad? I'm just saying I'm not perfect, nobody's perfect.

          I stared at a tree. The leaves started to turn yellow, then they started to fall off, "I'm sorry." It was Blake, I stared up at him in confusion, he wasn't looking at me, “You’re obviously angry, and I'm sorry. Don't kill the forest."

          I opened my mouth to reply, but instead I started crying. I ran, away from Blake. Trees started dying faster; a bird fell out of the sky, more followed. This is why I kept to myself, I'm too sensitive, once you get me sad, all it does is grow, I'll start crying, and they don't want to be my friend anymore. Blake just experienced that first hand.

          I tripped on a tree root, and fell. I didn't get up, I crawled in a ball, why bother. My tears made mud in the dirt under the dead grass.

          Blake didn't look at me while apologizing, he must hate me, and what did I do? Am I over acting? I think I am, I got up, I heard footsteps, running my way. Is it Holly? I hope so, I don't think I can face Blake right now. I made a fool of myself.

          I heard a voice, "Olivia? Where are you?" Blake, I ran even farther away. I wanted to run faster. I felt my body change, the world shank; I ran on all fours, I couldn't see green. I turned into a wolf, but I was still crying, the tears made it hard to see.

          I hate myself, I still made a fool of myself, and I'm still trying to run away. I broke through the forest, and the earth moved, it made a cliff, with me on top, I looked down. I'm not jumping, Blake might hate me, I might hate myself, but I have a destiny to help people with the darkness, I must help them.

          I laid down, still a wolf, and waited, waited for Blake to come.

          After a while, I stopped crying, I heard footsteps, and heavy breathing. Blake broke through the trees, sweat covering his forehead, standing there staring at me. I stared at him, waiting for him to do something.

          "I'm sorry. Really I am." He walked up to me, and sat down in front of me, "Do you believe me?" He asked.  I stared at him, then I put my paw on his hand. I started to turn back to human, I sat up, my hand still on his, "No, I'm sorry; I'm sensitive, too sensitive." I looked at his hand. The tears were coming back.

          "You say sorry too much. Stop taking the responsibility. This time it's my fault." He sounded angry.

          "No, it's not." I lifted my head up, "If I wasn't so sensitive this wouldn't have happened." Blake looked really angry, goose bumps appeared on my neck. The rocks around us began vibrating. One went flying, and hit me in the arm, I moved my hand off of Blake's. He looked gone, like he wasn't really there. I stood up and started walking away.

          Why do Elementals have anger issues? A rock hit me in the back of the head, but I kept walking, letting the tears go.

          I found Holly and Lilly, sitting on the forest floor, far away from the cliff.

          "Did Blake find you?" Holly asked me, when she saw the tears, she jumped up, "What did he do to you? Did he hurt you?"

          "It's nothing, he got angry. I walked away." I told her.

          "I sense your pain." Lilly said, "A broken heart, and a bruise on your arm."

          I walked farther away from Blake, I didn't know where I was going. Oh well, as long as it was away from him.

          "Olivia, what was he angry about?" Holly was following me.

          "About me taking responsibility for my actions." I replied. The rocks were vibrating again, Blake was coming, and he was still angry.

          "You should go back to him, you guys belong with each other." Holly says.

          "Then why hit me in the arm with a rock? Why chase me down, lift me up, then throw me down? Tell me! If we were perfect for each other, why do we fight!" I was screaming, tears streaming down my face, but still moving forward.

          "You guys started fighting when you called yourself imperfect. He called you perfect, he chased you down to apologize, you must have threw it back in his face by apologizing." Holly grabbed my arm, and stopped me, "Let him catch up to you, and, this time, don't apologize." She said with a grin.

          Blake came, walked up to me, and looked at Holly, "Alright I'm going." Holly said as she walked away. I stared up at him, he stared back. I started to turn, to walk away, but he grabbed my arm, "Don't go. I'm sorry." I looked at him, he was staring at the bruise on my arm. I broke my arm free of his grasp, he put his arm down. I saw a tear form in his eye. I was hurting him, but he hurt me.

          "You are perfect, no matter what happens. I don't care what happens, you will always be perfect." He looked me in the eye. The tear rolled down his cheek. It's hard to be angry at him. I don't like hurting people.

          "Will you forgive me?" He asked. I must have stopped crying cause I felt the tears going down my face again.

          I looked down and bit my bottom lip. Should I? I don't know. Maybe we are perfect for each other, but we'll never know unless we can gat passed this pathetic fight.

          "Okay, I'll forgive you." No regrets. I grabbed his hand and we walked towards Holly and Lilly.

          Good job. Thanks Plant.

          I just got passed my first fight.
