The sensation of his lips still on mine, my heart racing…. No pounding!

My face feels like its burning. My hand goes to touch my lips, my first kiss. With a sad face, I back away and think to run, and he yells “WAIT!!”

I fall from the roof on my third step, completely forgetting that he had jumped us to the roof of this 10-story building.

Shocked and with tears now flowing from my eyes I scream, after the scream my face relaxes as I accept my fate, ‘no one could possibly save me now.”

Falling, I turn face-up and see feathers? So many feathers. Then a shadow. Then last I see, a… fiery bird-man grabbing me. Muttering, “Oh f@#%, she’s heavier than all the times before.” I faint, as today has officially been to much.

I dream a quick flash of a dream or past memory. I find myself and speak to this self, I know its not me but I can see her speaking through me. I ask her what this all means, am I actually trully crazy? She responds “what?? No, not at all. We were meant for something more, and you need to trust in order to be guided.” She turns to the glass and I see my body move in as in to kiss someone. I instantly think of the cute boy and blush.

Suddenly the lights flash red and she yells, but they are still embraced.

I wake up and slowly open my eyes to find Michael kissing me. Omce again my heart racing, the feeling starts as normal and slowly changes to shock and I push him away. I only take one step back and hold my mouth.

How could there ever be a we in this or trust in this if he keeps kissing me without me being conscious…?? As I think this I pull my hands away from my mouth and see that I am wearing Red gloves with a curved edge raised in a cone like shape, with fire loops accenting the curves. I sit down or better yet fall down to my knees on the horror that he may have changed my outfit. Many thoughts running through my head, she said I could trust him…???

My skirt is also red with flames and as I go from shock to horror to anger the flames on the skirt and gloves begin to love.

I look up to him and he smiles and says, “I knew it was you, Magenta you are the holder of the Elemental Earth Power of Fire, you come from a long lineage of fighters and it has come time for you to train for the future war that will begin on your 25th birthday.”

“Is that why Saul left me? Because it’s time for me to train??” I ask. And he pauses, and says “I honestly don’t know a Saul in any of this, I’m sorry. But he won’t be important for what we are going to have to do.”

Shook, I look down and become sad. The flames dim. He ahems and says, “not that he isn’t important at all, it’s just we lost a lot of time already. Is he lost? Kidnapped? Missing?”

I look up and say “I think missing. I’ve been worried is all, I’m sure he will be back soon.”

Let’s talk some more at your place, but first you will have to de-transform. Wait, you didn’t change my clothes??

Michael shocked WWWHHAAAaaaatttttTTTT?? NO, I WOULDNT DO THAT!! The necklace I placed around your neck when we spoke earlier allowed you to transform into the fire elemental heroes training outfit. I guess since you wear something similar to this for school your, mind choose this look for you to fight in. Now let’s have you de-transform, go ahead.

Waits and I look to him for further 9nstructions… then I ask wait is that all that your gonna say…?

Well what else am I supposed to say? You just do it.

I stare blankly at him and think to myself, ok must be that easy, de-transform. I open my eyes and… nothing.

I look up to him confused and he looks back at me with a raised eyebrow. I finally say “I don’t know how to make this go away”

And he responds, “sigh, ok no worries I though that by now your abilities would have some showing but if not that’s ok.” He makes a worried face and continues “come up with a word that for now means that you change back to yourself.”

I nod and say “de-elementasize” I feel a radiance leave my body and soon enough I turn back to myself. I go to take off the necklace and quickly I transform back and an almost animalistic me screams Nnnnnooooo! The emotion is intense, a fear fills my heart as I look down to confirm I’m back in uniform, and look up to him. “What happened? What… what was that?”

“I’m not sure but at this point we’ve probably been exposed too long.” Moves close to Magenta and swiftly with no hiccups picks magenta up and runs and jumps off the building. “Which way is your house? We have much to discuss and plan.”

I point in the direction of my house, the last thing I want is to be exposed and seen in this outfit. As we zoom by the town, I scan the ground to see if maybe I see Saul. I guess he notices that I’m looking around, and changes from carrying me bridal style to arm around and next to him. Oddly enough I didn’t freak out when he did this, it felt familiar and safe.

“Hey are you ok?” I look to him and stare at his brown eyes, my feelings start to bubble, but before being overwhelmed with emotion I say “considering everything I’ve been through, … I don’t know.” My eyes start to water, “it’s been a long day.” He nods and we land at my door step.

I thank him for the lift and proceed to walk inside, I hear a footstep and turn to see him following me inside, “Oh no, I need you to stop right there. I don’t see you coming inside my home.”

He sadly looks to the ground and says, “Oh, ummm. Okay, I thought we were gonna talk…”

I lowly and meekly say “We will but I’m still in this outfit, the necklace wouldn’t come off, you are still a student from class that I just met. And even though I’ve been asked to keep an open mind and told that you can be trusted, this is all too new and different, but most importantly weird. I don’t know what to make of all of this, and I understand that you have answers. But if I really am the girl you are looking for, then please understand that this is too much for one day. If this is training, then we will have to set some ground rules. And for now, I set a temporary rule of no weird shit for the next 49hrs while I try to come to terms with the magical necklace around my neck.”

“Sigh, fine. But this is a waste of time in the grand scheme of things, I will see you Thursday.” He turns around and leaves. I wait until he’s out of sight, and go around to the back of the house. It’s a safe house, and now it’s compromised.
