THE FIFTH ELEMENT 🔥🌊🌪️⛰️🌀
Chapter 45🌪️~
JAKE'S POV 🔥
"Well I'm not going back. I want to stay and help Cassie." Madeline said.
"I'll go back. I'm faster than all of you. It'll be more convenient if I'm among the people that goes." Phoebe said.
"Me too. You'll need a guide back." Gia said.
"Wait what? Gia? You're supposed to stick with me! If you guide her back, then who's gonna guide us?" Madeline asked her.
"You also have the earth element too Maddie. Just trust your instincts and trust nature. I'm sure you'll figure it out." Gia replied and Madeline just sighed.
"I'm going too. Gotta keep the ladies safe." Greg said.
"I'm staying." Sage simply said and looked at me and I nodded at her.
"I've made a few friends here. They're going to be helpful in finding where exactly they're keeping Cassie. So that means I'm staying too." Damon said.
I looked at Nick for his response. "I'll go with them." He said and I nodded.
"That means I'm staying with you guys." Cara declared.
"No. You're not. You're going home with them. They'll need you back at home." I said to my sister.
"Wait no. I'm staying Jake." She insisted.
"You're not staying Cara. You're going home with them. Incase they encounter another monster on the way home, they'll be needing extra help." I explained to her.
"Fine. Whatever. You're such a buzz kill." She replied.
"Okay then it's settled. Phoebe, Nick, Gia, Cara and Greg. You guys will go back home and warn everyone about this war. And make sure they start preparing harder than before. Damon, Sage, Madeline and me will stay back and try to get Cassie out of here as soon as possible." I made it clear to everyone.
"Roger that Boss." Damon commented and rolled his eyes.
"Guys don't forget. It's all about teamwork. That's how we'll succeed." I said to them and they all nodded in agreement.
"Okay. Now we have to distract those guards again. Damon any ideas?" I asked him and he glanced quickly at me and Shaked his head.
"I think I could do that." Sage stated.
"Do you seriously think that trick you did last time is going work with these guys?" Cara asked her.
"It worked last time didn't it?" Sage said and came out in the open, heading towards the guards.
We were all paying attention to sage as she did her thing. And prepared to fight just in case she got into trouble.
It didn't take a while before the two guards started making their way inside.
And that was our cue.
"Okay guys. Team back to school, you guys should head out now." I said to them and they quickly complied.
Once they were out of the gates, the rest of us decided to blend in with other people here.
"Okay Damon. Where are those friends of yours?" I asked him.
"Right. Follow me to the pit." He directed.
And we all followed suit.

SAGE'S POV 🌊🌊🌊~
When we got to where my brother referred to as "the pit", we all stood at a corner while he searched for his so called friends.
"This place is so creepy and dirty. I don't like it here." Madeline complained.
"You know, no one forced you to stay. You did that yourself." I said to her and she sighed.
"Right. My decision. Whatever." Madeline said.
"So what exactly is the plan here Jake? If Damon's friends come, then what?" I whispered to Jake.
Madeline gave me a look.
"Huh Why are you whispering?" She asked me.
"I'm pretty sure there are air elements around here with Sharp ears. Wouldn't want someone eves dropping on us." I explained to her and she nodded.
"Let's just wait and see what Damon's friends has to say first." Jake replied.
The three of us were standing at a corner when we saw Damon approaching forward with three other guys.
"Yo my friends, let me introduce you to my other friends. Guys meet these other guys, other guys, meet guys." Damon gave the silliest introduction I've ever heard.
Typical Damon.
"Hey.." I greeted.
"Hi." Madeline greeted.
Jake just nodded at them.
"Hey, tell em about what you were telling me about the Fifth Element girl and how she'll help us win the war." Damon said to one of the guys.
"Oh right. There's not much to say. Just that I know we'll definitely be victorious. Even if the fifth element doesn't fight with us. She'll be helping us one way or another." One those guys said.
What does that mean?
"How so? I thought we needed her to join the fight to win." Jake said to them.
"No we do need her. But not necessarily to join the fight. Come on, we don't actually think she'll ever agree to fight with us when that stupid school has its hold on her." Another one of them said.
Madeline and I exchanged looks briefly.
"Yeah. What exactly is the plan if she doesn't agree to help?" Jake asked.
"And that my brother is still top secret." The guy replied and grinned.
"I wonder where she is now. I've heard stories about the fifth element since I was a child. Wish I could see her up close for myself. Too bad I don't know where she's been kept." I said shaked my head sadly.
"Hmm. She's not so special. I haven't even seen her do any magic since she got here. Just eating our food and sleeping." One of the guys said after there was so much silence.
"You haven't seen her do magic? Does that mean you have actually seen her? Here? In person?" I further questioned.
"Yeah. I have seen her actually. A few times." He boosted.
"Do you think you can help me...us, see her?" I asked him.
"Yes please!!!! I really want to see her too." Madeline chimed in.
"Um I don't know. I don't think that's a good idea." The guy said unsure what to do.
"Please. Come on, help some friends out." I said to him hopefully.
"Ummmm I would get in trouble if I did that." He explained.
"We'll be careful. And no one would get in trouble." I assured him.
"Fine. Okay okay, damnit I really need to learn to say no to ladies." He blurted out.
"Can we see her now?" I asked him and he sighed in defeat.
"Come on follow me." He said and made his way out of the pit and Madeline and I followed him.
I turned back to look at Jake and Damon, They both looked worried.
I guess they didn't like the plan. But it's our chance.
*****
We walked for a while before we entered an old looking building.
Everything around here looked old, and according to Madeline, dirty.
And I kinda agree with her.
Why is everywhere so messy?
"Okay we're close now. We have to watch out for those kids that was assigned to look after her. They're not nice. Trust me. You don't want an encounter with them." The guy said to us.
"Why, what makes them so special?" I asked him.
"They're really powerful. When it comes to magic and combats, they're the best around here." He explained.
"Oh. Guess we'll stay far away from those ones." Madeline said.
"I'm not scared of them." I stated.
"I knew you were the crazy one." The guy said and shaked his head.
"Are we getting any closer?" Madeline asked.
"Stop here." The guy said and we all halted.
He peeped around for a few minutes before talking.
"Okay. Now listen, the fifth element is in the second room straight ahead that hallway." The guy pointed it out to us.
"I don't think those kids are around now so it's the perfect time to see her. Go into the room, do not stay more than a minute and get back out here, then we'll be on our way." The guy said to us.
"Aren't you coming in with us?" I asked him.
"Of course not. I've already seen her before. And someone needs to keep watch out here just Incase." He said to us and we both nodded.
"Now go! Hurry!" He literally pushed us to move.
Madeline and I walked really fast and successfully entered the room we were told to enter.
"Sage? Madeline?" I heard Cassie call out our names and I quickly turned back to see her staring at us in disbelief.
"Oh my God, it is you guys." Cassie said and started crying and smiling at the same time.
It was hard to tell if she was happy or sad to see us.
"Cassie!" Madeline shrieked excitedly and ran to give her a hug swiftly.
"Oh my gosh, I thought I was never going to see you again!" Madeline said still hugging her tightly.
"I thought I was never going to see any of you guys again. Thank God you're here." Cassie said still crying.
After they were done hugging, Cassie finally turned to me.
"Hi Cassie. You're not dead. Good." I said awkwardly not knowing exactly what to say now that I've seen her.
She just chuckled slightly and came closer to give me a hug which I gently declined by moving away from her.
"No no no I'm good. I don't hug." I said to her and managed to smile slightly.
"I'm glad you're here too." Cassie said still smiling and suddenly her smile changed into worry.
"Wait how are you guys here? I mean earlier I saw Damon out in the crowds of people, and now you both are here. How did you find me?" Cassie asked
"Don't worry about that, we'll tell you all about it later." Madeline said to her
"Yeah. We need to think of a way to get you outta here. Like right now." I said to her and she nodded.
"I don't know. We can go the way you guys came through." Cassie suggested.
"We can. But there's someone who's not with us, right outside waiting for us to come out. I'm sure he'll raise an alarm if he sees you with us." I said to her.
"Oh. So what do we do then? I need to get out of this place." Cassie said to us.
"Look. We'll come back. Atleast now we know where they're keeping you. So we'll come back with a better plan on how to escape." I explained to her.
"No no. Please don't leave me here guys. I need to come with you." Cassie pleaded.
"Don't worry Cassie. Jake wouldn't let us leave this whole place anyways without getting you back." I said to her.
"Jake? Jake's here too?" Cassie asked me.
And I simply nodded at her.
She smiled brightly.
"Okay. I trust you. I trust all of you. So we'll wait a little longer, And hopefully by then, my powers will be back." Cassie said.
"Your powers are gone?" I asked her.
"Yeah. Temporarily." She replied.
I nodded.
"Okay. Don't worry, they'll be back and we'll be back as well. Stay put fifth element." I said to her and gave her a small smile.
"Don't worry Cassie, we'll be back soon." Madeline added.
"Okay we gotta go now. Come on Madeline." I said to her and we both left the room quickly, hoping we weren't discovered yet.
We ran back to where the guy was waiting for us.
"What the hell! I told you both one minute. That was a lot longer than one minute! " He fumed.
"Relax. We're back aren't we? And no one saw us." I said to him and he scuffed.
"Whatever. I shouldn't have brought you both here." He said and walked off angrily.
We quickly followed him.
"Sorry we took longer than a minute in there, we just really wanted a good look at the fifth element. Please don't be mad." Madeline apologized to the guy.
"How about you let me buy you both a drink then maybe I'll have a forgiving heart." He said to us and Madeline and I exchanged looks.
"Ew." Madeline said.
"No." I said simply.
"Fine fine. Whatever. Let's just get back to the pit." The guy said and we all made our way back to the pit.
