The Book of Secrets

Chapter 11

“Jenny calm down, you are clever you just act like a dumb blonde” Adam shouted.

“I don't act dumb!” Jenny argued

“Yes you do, you do it so you can be popular” her brother snapped,

“Let's begin” Tray said interrupting the siblings argument. “I want you to control the water in this glass. When I pore it onto the floor I want you to hold it in the air” he explained.

“How am I suppose to do that?” Jenny asked confused,

“Well River was always calm and thoughtful. Try to stay calm and feel the water” Tray said, holding up a glass of water. “Are you ready?” he asked and Jenny took a deep breath before nodding, Tray slowly tipped the glass until a small stream of water pored out. Jenny tried to stop the water from hitting the floor but failed and she was left starring at a small puddle at her feet. “This isn't going to work” she cried throwing her hands up into the air only to jump back when a spray of water flew at her.

“How did I do that?” she asked Tray who was just smiling happily at her,

“Your emotions help you to control your element, Try to lift the water from the floor back into the glass” Tray said placing the glass on the floor besides the puddle of water.

Jenny stood over the puddle holding out her hands and slowly moved them up, as she did a thin column of the water rose. Carefully she moved her hands so the water travelled over to the glass filling it back up. “Oh my gosh! I did it” Jenny cheered happily jumping up and down.

“Well done Jenny,” Tray praised with a smile.

“Max is here!” Adam called as Max entered the control room,

“That was great timing, your up next Max” Tray called and Jenny walked out of the training room, leaving Max and Tray to train.

Tray had lit a candle and placed it in the centre of the room, “Your element is very persistent, it is difficult to control because it likes to do it's own thing” he began walking over to Max, “I want you to stop the fire from burning this string” he continued holding out a long length of wool, placing one end next to Max before walking back to the candle and lighting the other end. Max watched as the flame slowly began to burn it's way along the string.

“I can't stop it from burning that!” Max cried looking at the travelling flame in confusion.

“All you have to do is not let it burn the string. Fury the old Fire warrior told me that her element was stubborn so she had to be persistent with it.” Tray explained and Max just looked at him.

“What is that suppose to mean?” he cried, the flame was now half way along the string.

“That if your determined you can control the element, you have to be more stubborn than the Fire” Tray explained. Max nodded his head before looking back at the flame that was travelling towards him, He glared at the fire burning the string that lay helplessly in it's path. Max concentrated willing the flame to stop it's destructive rampage and slowly the flame started to slow down until it completely stopped travelling along the string.

“Very good Max, now send it back to the candle” Tray challenged, Max frowned from the force of his element but slowly the flame began to retreat along the remains of the chard string. Just before it reached the candle Max's phone started to ring, distracting him and causing the flame to extinguish.

“Hello” he said answering his phone, Tray stood and watched in shock as Max continued to talked to the person who had rang him.

“Yes alright I will be there in five minuets, bye” Max said ending the phone call,

“Sorry Tray I have to go, my brothers have just arrived back home” Max called as he ran out of the room and back into the main building.

“Oh... alright … bye” Tray called but Max had already gone.

“Well I’m surprised he stayed this long, you'll get use to that” Adam said to Tray who still stood shocked in the centre of the training room.
