THE FIFTH ELEMENT 🌊🔥🌪️⛰️☯️
Chapter 19⛰️⛰️⛰️
After meeting with Sage and her mom, I continued my way to Madeline's mom's office.
When I got there, I knocked on her door and waited for a response.
After a few seconds, someone opened up the door, and i looked up to see Madeline's Mom.
"Oh dear! Cassie! It's so good to see you. Please come on in." She welcomed me.
"Thanks." I say and went inside the office.
"So what brings you here? I hope everything is going well with you? Are you settling in okay?" She asked me as she took a seat and motioned for me to sit down as well.
"Yeah yeah everything is going well so far. I'm just still trying to get used to all these. It's not easy to take in everything about this place." I say to her and she nodded and smiled understandably.
"I know it won't be easy but I know you'll be perfectly fine." She said to me.
"Thanks. I was meaning to ask, Is there anything like a book or something I could read that's about this 'fifth element' power thing I'm supposed to have?" I asked her.
"I see you want to learn about your powers. That's a good thing. I think I can find something for you, but it might not be as informative as you want." She replied.
"That'd be great. As long it says something about it, I can manage." I said to her.
"And I have to ask as well, How are your lessons with Mr Ken Griffey going? Any new developments?" She asked me.
I really wanted to tell her that we've already figured out what my power is but I didn't want to break my word to Mr Ken.
"No. There's eh nothing yet. We're still at it. Hopefully soon, we'll all find out." I say to her and smiled weirdly.
I hope she doesn't suspect anything.
"Hmm. It's okay, I'm sure we'll discover what it is soon."
"Yeah." I said to her and looked at the ceiling.
"So hope you and Madeline are becoming best of friends. Is she treating you good?" She asked me.
I was thankful that we've changed topic.
"Yes. Ofcourse, she's great. She's a great roommate and friend. Even her other friends are great too." I said to her and smiled.
"Hm. Good to hear that you both are becoming good friends." She said to me.
"I even thought I would see her here, since she didn't come back to class after the fight." I said to her while looking around the office.
"What fight?" Her mom asked me, with her mood changing all of a sudden.
I instantly regretted saying that. I don't think she knew about Madeline's and Cara's fight yet.
"Um. I mean I was just looking for her. I didn't see her after class." I said trying to change my narrative.
"You said she didn't come back to class after the fight, what fight are you talking about? Who did she fight with?" Her mom asked me sternly.
"It wasn't really a big fight or anything. Just a minor misunderstanding." I said to her.
"Who did she fight with Cassie?" She asked me again.
"I..um....it was Cara. I don't know if you know her." I finally said.
"Cara. Ofcourse I know her. She's the daughter of a very powerful fire elemental. The only family that can produce a blue flame, the hottest flame." She said to me.
"Oh. I didn't know they were that powerful." I said to her.
That means Jake must be pretty powerful too.
"Do you know where Madeline might be now?" Her mom asked me and i Shaked my head indicating no.
"Ok. Thank you for telling me this." She said to me.
"Yeah. Sure. But the fight wasn't Madeline's fault just incase you wanted to know." I said to her and she nodded slightly.
I was about leaving when the door opened, Madeline and the teacher that asked them out of class earlier came in.
Madeline looked somewhat surprised to see me there.
"What are you doing here?" Madeline asked me.
I wanted to answer but was beat to it by her mom.
"Cassie you can go now. Thank you for paying me a visit. Please do it more often." Her mom said sternly to me.
I looked over to Madeline and she was already frowning at me.
I bent my head and exited the office.
🌊🌊🌊
I went back to the school hall for my extra lesson with Mr Ken.
"Okay Cassie, today we'd be doing something a little more advanced." The teacher said to me.
"Something like what?" I asked him.
He suddenly raised his voice to call out some people.
"You guys can come in!" He said loudly.
Two people wearing a uniform came in. This uniform looked different from the normal school uniform. This must be the security uniform. I've seen some people wearing it around this school a few times.
"Okay, so what exactly are we doing?" I said to the teacher.
"We're going to use them as experiment for your powers." The teacher said to me.
"Um I thought no one was supposed to know I've discovered what my power is." I said in an aggressive whisper.
The teacher chuckled at my failed discreetness.
"Don't worry about that. If Your power really is mind control, then you can easily take care of their memory." He said to me.
"Oh. I see." I said a little bit surprised.
"Yes. Now, I want you to tell one of them here to do something, anything using your mind." He said to me.
"Oh. Um okay. I'll try." I said and focused on one of the guards.
I kept repeating the word, 'Slap' on my mind. But nothing happened.
"Um nothing is happening." I said to Mr Ken.
"Try harder. Remain focused." He said to me and I closed my eyes trying again.
I opened my eyes and raised my hand in mid air, a purple ish haze appeared on my palm and I directing it to one of the guards.
The guard suddenly slapped the other one, catching him off guard.
He seemed to recover himself after slapping his colleague.
I burst out laughing at what I just did. This was so fun to watch.
"Okay... Not what I had in mind but it works. That's all that matters." The teacher said to me.
"Sorry. I'm sorry. I don't know why I suddenly thought about that." I said when I regained myself from laughing.
"It's okay. Now I want you to do something else." Mr Ken said to me.
"Sure. Um ohh I've got an idea." I said and focused back on one of the guards.
I thought about something and suddenly the guard started dropping all the weapons he had on himself on the ground.
With the look on Mr Ken's face, I could tell he was impressed.
"Very nice Cassie. This is great. With a power like yours, you could do so much with it if you wanted." He said to me sounding proud.
"Thanks. I feel pretty powerful now." I said to him.
"You are. That'll be all for now. You need to make them forget what happened here."
"Okay. Why is it again that no one has to know about my powers?" I asked him.
"It's not safe yet for anyone to know. Your power is different, somewhat dangerous if you ask me. Which is why no one can know yet until we figure out how to use it well" he said to me.
"Not safe?. What does that mean?" I asked him.
"I know this school might seem like a fairytale to you, it isn't. The horrors are not only out there but also in here. You can't trust anyone yet. So it's best we keep this to ourselves for now. Until you're ready and prepared for what's coming."
"So you wanna tell me what exactly is coming?" I asked him and he smiled.
"That's not my place to tell. Now back on what you're doing."
"Right. Right.".I said and focused on the guard.
I kept wishing for him to forget about what happened in here repeatedly.
Suddenly the guard fell on the floor.
I stood up quickly, wondering if I did it right.
"Relax he'll be okay." The teacher said to calm me down.
"Oh. Why did he collapse then?" I asked him
"I don't know. " The teacher replied me.
When the guard got back up, he looked so lost. He started asking what was happening and that's when we knew what I did worked.
"This is good. Cassie do the same thing for the other one." The teacher said to me and I nodded.
I repeated the exact same thing and the other guard fell to the ground for some seconds before getting back up.. he also didn't have any memory of what happened here.
Mr Ken thanked them and told them they could take their leave.
He also encouraged me and dismissed me as well.
I felt proud of myself.
I guess the colour of my power has something to do with purple.

When I got back to my dorm, it was empty.
I guess Madeline wasn't back yet.
I freshened up and got some food to eat while waiting for her. I planned on telling her about my powers today. She's my roommate and Friend, and thought she should know.
Also I was too excited, I needed to tell someone what I could do.
After some hours, Madeline finally got back.
"Hey, what kept you so long? Are you okay? Did something happen?" I asked her once she closed the door.
She just sighed heavily and went directly to take her shower.
I waited for her to finish up so I could talk to her.
"Madeline, you seem pissed, did your Mom do something you didn't like? Are you still angry about Cara?" I asked her when she finished up.
"I'm not talking to you." She said to me.
"What did I do? Are you mad at me?" I asked her.
"Yes! I'm mad at you. I thought you were my friend, but you go behind my back and say things to my mom about me! What gives you that right? Who do you think you are!?" Madeline said angrily to me.
"Wait a minute, I didn't do anything wrong. I thought she already knew about your fight with Cara, that's why I said anything in the first place and I'm sorry. But she was going to find out about it anyway. So what's all the fuss about?" I said to her getting annoyed myself.
"You snitched on me!. That's what the fuss is about!. You don't have any right to talk to my mom, Not about anything, and especially not about me!" She kept yelling at me.
"What is your problem? You're angry that I had a conversation with your mom? Do you even know why I went to see her?" I asked her and she rolled her eyes at me.
"Do I look like I care? You know what, I'm done talking about this with you! I'm going to bed." Madeline said and went straight to her bed to lie down.
I couldn't believe this... I don't get why she's so upset with me. All I did was talk to her mom. And I didn't mean to tell her mom about her fight.
I sighed heavily and went to my bed to take a pillow.
I decided not to sleep in this room with her for tonight.
It's better I give her some space to cool off.
"I never asked you leave just so you know, but if you insist, then be my guest." Madeline said lastly before turning her back to me.
I quietly took the pillow and went out of the room.
🔥🔥🔥
I was roaming the school, not sure of where exactly to go get a nap.
I thought about somewhere and decided to go there.
I got to the building where I ate lunch the other time. It was always empty so I decided to spend the night there.
I found a good spot and placed my pillow down.
I went out to take a quick view at the outside from the balcony.
There were street lights all over and it was bright enough.
After staying there for some minutes, I decided to go back and lay down.
It was quite uncomfortable sleeping on the floor but I endured it till morning.
