Elemental: Fire heart

chapter 1

This is definitely not how I pictured my live.

I was supposed to be friends, with my four closest friends until we all die, supposed to find the perfect guy so I can use the song "18" from One Direction at my wedding and work at a bookshop.

I wanted all of this.

But fate had a different plan.

I lost my four friends in the summer after there last year because I made a mistake. My heart searches but I don't know what. I miss these people but I can't change it anymore.

Tomorrow is my 19th birthday and no one will come. Since the last summer I just had my best friend by my side and I know that it is enough but that's not what I wanted.

1 hour left. Then I am 19.

30 minuets left.

It is midnight and I can hear the old clock of my grandma. Calmly I stand up and go to the window. The stars are shining bright as well as the moon. The night outsight is calm, no car is driving, no owl is screaming but something is weird. I can see the garden my mum loves and the old weeping willow is going with the wind. I can feel someone watching me from outside but I can't see them. My hands start getting warmer and warmer and I can feel something beating like my heart beat. A wolf is howling somewhere and I shrug. Honestly this is scary. My hands are now hot and it feels like I am burning.

Out of nowhere stands something in the garden. A wolf. With his green eyes he watches me.

He is just standing there and watching.

I close my eyes to try stopping my heart from beating so fast that I am nearly losing control over my body. "Focus" someone is telling me.

"Who is there?"

The voice chuckles "I am in your head, child. But that's not important. You have to let go of the energy. Focus! Focus and it'll burn something!". I can feel something behind me. It's a shadow, I know it is completely dark but I can see and feel it.

Feel its icy present. The shadow is flying, flying near me. I hear the voice in my head screaming "Focus!" but all I can do is just stand there in my nightgown and watch the shadow coming near me. My hands are still hot and I can still feel the beat but everything is so cold. Something is breaking behind me and I can feel fur on my arm. "Jump" screams the voice and I do as I told and jump out of the window. Behind me the wolf. My elbow is scratching und I can feel blood on my knees. Something screams and I turn around to see the shadow coming out of my bursted window. "Damn girl, focus! Or you'll be dead in a second!" says a different voice and I throw my arms in the air á la Bonnie Bennet and scream "Burn!". The heat in my hands felt like it's going to burn me and a flame starts to come out of my hand. I could feel everything burning and I close my eyes and picture the shadow burning.

"puhhh that was close" says someone behind me and I look over my shoulder. The wolf is laying on the ground and he is looking at the house. I look up at my home and it is burning.

"No!" I scream.

"What now? Are you sad you saved our life?" says a male voice but I am too shocked to look over my shoulder again.

"No, my mum is still in there" I say and a tear is running down my face as I start to get on my feat to go in that damn house.

"Woah, where do you want to go?" says the voice in my head and the wolf is standing in front of me.

"To save my mum! And get out of my head and way!" I snarl at the wolf.

"You are going nowhere! You can not save her." The voice says angry.

"Yes, I can and I said go out of my head " I start to move and to push the wolf out of my way. He jumps at me and I land on my back.

"I said you are going nowhere" The wolf growls

"Besides she is already dead!"

"No" my voice breaks and I have to close my eyes. I hear the house collapsing and feel the wolf going of me and sitting beside me.

"I killed her" I sob.

"No, the shadow of the witch hunter did" Says the voice that told me to focus.

"What? Who are you even?" I sob harder, still with my eyes close.

"You'll find out pretty soon but first you have to go to Draíocht!" replies the wolf. I shake my head because that is defiantly the last thing I am going to do now, knowing my mom just died because of a freaking shadow.

"Do not even try to say no, you are going with me!" the wolf seems to even read my thoughts and I open my eyes and look at him angrily. He just looks at me challenging me.

"James, don't be so harsh on her, the poor girl just lost her mother and found out she can bourn things with her mind." Says now a male voice behind me. Great, another one that can read minds. A bit worried I turn around and look in an angelic face of a man. He is at least 6 foot tall and I am sure he has blond hair but with the moon shinning and with the fire from the house, it looks silvery. With his shinning eyes he watches me getting up and it makes me feel uncomfortable. The wolf makes a disappointed "woof" and I look at him surprised. The silvery Man just puts an eyebrow up and sights. Both of them are staring into each others eyes and I am sure, they have a full conversation in there head.

" Hello? Will one of you tell me what is going on and most importantly, who you are and what this Draoscht is?" I ask but I don't get an answer. Until the man sights again and starts looking at me.

"I am Lucas Henrikson and the wolf there is my cousin James Henrikson. What we are I'll explain later if you are coming with us" he starts to explain and the wolf, pardon, James makes an even more disapprovingly growl.

With a stern look for the wolf he starts again explaining: "You are one of the witches, in particular a elemental witch. The thing, the shadow, used to be man who hated magic and the people, which are using it. How he found you, I don't know but he'll find you again and you have to come with us to be prepared for it. And the villages name is Draíocht." He smiles at me and I just have to smile back.

"Yeah, but my dear cousin is not coming with us" says the wolf again in my head.

" I told you to stay out of my head!" I furiously and turn around. But there is not a wolf anymore. At his place stands a muscular, tall man with dark hair and his eyes are unnaturally shining green and he smiles devilishly at me. Even with just the fire of the Burning house I can see hoe different these two are.

"Make me" mouths he.

"Not know!" says Lucas and gets in between James and me.

"I am coming with you and you do not have a choice!" James growls.

"Well I already said No so I am not going! Besides this thing would've not been here without you, so it is your problem, not mine! You can not bring me without my permission!"

James starts moving fast in my direction and before I can take a step back I am not anymore in front of my burning home.
