City of elements.
Chapter one, Lost.
“Don’t look back!” Louise shouted. Louise was a 13 year old girl, She had bleach blond hair in the front, and dyed midnight sky blue in the back, but what was enchanting about her was her pail blue eyes that changed with her feelings, when she was sad they were silver, when she was angry, the were an ice burg blue, and when she cared for something, they were such a strange pail blue that they always drew the person in more. Louise loved her eyes, and her cold, pail skin. It was who she was, that was how she would always be.
“Fine!” Lynn shouted back. Louise and Lynn were running down the abandoned road, into the forest. Louise hated how it took Lynn so long to get there, and that Lynn knew nothing about surviving in the woods.
About ten minutes later Louise slowed down and let Lynn catch up with her. As soon as Lynn got close, she fell down and stayed there.
“You have five minutes to rest up, I’ll go look around for some people.” Louise started walking again. Lynn and Louise were lost, or as Lynn always says, ‘we are so lost, we can’t even find our behinds.’ Louise laughed at the thought of Lynn saying that. She wished she remembered to bring her cell phone, but then again she hated it. Louise rather died then use it, which might just be the case now, she thought. Their mothers would be so heart broken when they heard the girls were missing, well only Lynn’s mother would. My mother doesn’t care where I go or when I come back, she just cares about the money I bring in with the hikes I lead people on, the thought was harsh, but true.
“Come home.” The voice came out from no where, ‘it was Air’ a crystal voice said inside her head.
“I’m crazy.” Louise giggled. “Stupid, stupid me. I better get back to Lynn before I really start going insane.”
As she walked back she heard the voice again, saying the same thing. Louise ignored it by thinking of Lynn. Lynn had brown hair with blond streaks, bark brown eyes, and tanned skin. She was the normal girl Louise could never be. Lynn’s mother was a nurse at the hospital, and her and her older brother got along, unlike Louise and her older brother.
“Lo!” Lynn shouted. “Is that you?”
“Yeah.” She yelled. “I didn’t find anyone.” The abandoned road they were on wasn’t really a road, it was just an area of stone made by an ancient tribe. None of the natives knew what tribe used to live here, but that they were pail. Every elder of the native tribes always told Louise she belonged with them, that she belonged with them, meaning she belonged six feet under somewhere.
“Well, darn it!” Lynn was sitting on a log.
“Come home Louise, come home Lynn.” The voice said again, but this time the voice said her name, and Lynn’s. Lynn’s head snapped up.
“Who was that?” She asked.
“The wind.” Louise looked down. “So I’m not going crazy.”
“Nope.” Lynn looked at her, then started yelling. “Hey, hello! Anyone there! Come on, we want to go home!”
“No!” Louise shouted. “They don’t sound like they will help us!” The real reason why Louise didn’t want her to shout to the person was because she knew they would come and take them back, but back where?
“Fine.” Lynn looked down. “Lets make camp, its getting dark already.”
The girls spent twenty minutes setting up camp. Hanging the food high so no one but the girls could get to it, hanging their close and pitching their home made tent that Lynn’s grandfather made.
The girls barley stopped to talk, but Lynn couldn’t take it any longer. “Your still sad about Ethan.” She said in her mater-of-fact voice.
“I wonder why, Ethan A-Luke Tosco? Who you know, was my boyfriend for like, ever. Oh yeah, and he also got lost in this very forest.” Louise sighed.
“You still want to find his body, don’t you?”
“Yes, but I want to find people to get you safe first.”
“Lets go to bed.”
Both girls went to sleep quickly, Lynn is peace, and Louise in fright.
“Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Faelee!” She screamed, a wave of pain came.
“They are all gone now.” A males voice came.
“Then you hold me.” she gasped.
“Yes.” It was stupid of her, allowing her killer to hold her while she was dieing. “Yes, my Sheylee.”
“You didn’t mean to.” Her voice was lost in the angry winds, and the rain beating down, The fire was going wild, even though the rain was trying to put it out, even the trees seemed to be scary. “You didn’t mean to kill.”
“Yes I did.” He whispered, he lifted her up into his arms, she shivered. “I meant to kill someone, just not you.”
“I forgive y-” She was cut off, pain pulsed threw her. She let go of her body, drifting into something else. A new world. Into a body not hers.
Louise woke up screaming.
“Are you okay?” Lynn asked.
“Do I look okay!” She shouted.
“Well, yes.”
“Then I am.” She snorted.
“Fine, whatever.” Lynn looked away, a few minutes later she crawled out of the tent and Louise was guessing, going to the bathroom.
“Happy birthday.” The wind shook the tent. Birthday? I don’t even know when my birthday is! I don’t have a birthday anymore. Louise thought. My birthday, I think its April 3rd. Today. Louise must be hearing things.
“Come out here!” Louise slowly crawled out of the little tent, Lynn was sitting on a fallen tree, holding something covered in some sort of fur.
“What is it?” She asked.
“I don’t know, but it looks like deer hide.” Lynn tossed it to her. “Its for some person named Sheylee or something.”
“Odd-ness.” Louise laughed. “In my dream this man called me Sheylee.” The man with green eyes like hills, and skin that felt like a babies. The man who’s touch made her shiver.
“Who, a man in your dreams, calling you the girls who’s gift that is, hot.” She laughed.
“Is it my birthday today?” Louise asked. “I forgot what day my birthday was since I never had a birthday.”
“Um, what day is it today?” Lynn looked up. “Your birthday is April 3rd.”
“Its April 3rd.” Louise said quietly. “Dang. The wind said happy birthday.”
“You are crazy!” Lynn stared at Louise. “The wind can’t talk!”
“What ever, it just seems like it, anyways, lets get going. I want out of this place fast.” Louise heaved a sigh. They started packing everything up, and in half an hour both of them were jumping from fallen tree to rocks and other things.
“Look at that!” Lynn’s eyes seemed to fill her face, wow, buggy eyes much. Louise thought. She turned around and seen what Lynn was pointing to. A giant tepee, made from deer hide.
“Open you present Sheylee.” The wind flew, Lynn fell off the rock she was standing on, onto the packed dirt of the little clearing the tepee was in. Louise jumped off her rock and helped Lynn up.
“I’m opening this thing.” Louise looked at the present, still unopened.
“Its not yours Lo.” Lynn gave her an unhappy glance.
“Something seems to tell me it is.” She slowly opened the deer hide, in the middle of the fur was a little box made from stone, it seemed like it was carved. Inside the box was a necklace made from stones as well, but on the stones had letters. L O U I S E. and on the other side it said S H E Y L E E!
“Cool” Louise smiled. “Its mine.”
“This is to creepy,” Lynn paused. “Lets go in the tent.” She pointed to the giant tepee, they started walking towards it, Louise very careful, while Lynn was walking without thought. Again.
“Careful, I’m getting a bad feeling.” Louise said weakly.
“Your crazy.” Lynn said. “It can’t be bad, no one has lived here for ever.”
“Well wait for me before you look in.”
“Fine.”
Louise stood beside Lynn, her hair blowing wildly. She took in a deep breath, this isn’t good. She thought. Lynn opened the flap to the tepee, inside was nothing but a chest, on the chest were two bands, one had the name Sheylee, carved in it, and the other Faelee. Lynn looked at her. Then one hand, on each other their backs, pushed them in with enough force to knock them down, both hitting their heads and going unconscious.
