THE FIFTH ELEMENT 🌊🔥🌪️⛰️☯️
~Chapter 34🌊🌊🌊🌊~
~Cassie's POV~
After I successfully used my powers on Jake to stop him from hitting Damon, I felt a sense of relief in me.
"Please don't fight him." I pleaded with Jake without using any powers this time around.
He simply nodded at me but was still obviously angry.
"Hmm. Okay firstly, this guy here must really like to listen and obey to whatever it is you say to him or .... him doing your bidding had something to do with your mind powers. So which is it? Although I think I already know the answer to that." Damon said to me excitedly.
"What do you think?" I asked him.
"Wow. This is awesome. You can mind control people!" Damon said almost too loudly which made other people in the cafeteria to turn and looked our way.
"Shush. Please don't broadcast it." I said to him almost in a whisper.
"Yeah yeah sure. But do you have any idea how powerful you could be if you wanted? Even more powerful than all the elementals if you ask me." Damon said seeming even more Interested in my powers.
"Okay enough of this. We're done here. Come on Cassie, let's go." Jake said to me.
I didn't know whether to go with him or not.
"You can go if you want. You can't tell her what to do, but on the other hand..." Damon said to Jake and turned to look at me on his last sentence.
"Cassie let's go. Please." Jake asked again.
"Hey hey hold up, she's my friend too you know. You can't just order her away while I'm still here. Cassie don't go. Infact, let's have a seat and chat more about your powers. I really want to know everything and Ofcourse help you in any way I can." Damon said looking hopeful.
"Umm... Maybe some other time. Sorry Damon." I said to Damon and nodded at Jake, we both left the cafeteria together.

Sage's POV
I don't know why I haven't been myself since Cassie said those things about having double powers especially the ice part.
How can she even think of that when she hasn't seen any water elemental do any form of ice magic..... unless she knows something.
About my brother.
Damn it, it must be it. She knows something about Damon, it has to be why she asked me that.
Why would Damon be so careless and allow a newcomer to find out his secret, our secret.
Mother won't like this. So she doesn't have to know anything about it because If she does, Cassie might be in danger.
I need to talk to Damon.
I tried searching for Damon all over the school until I finally found him in the cafeteria.
"Hey... what the hell? I've been looking all over for you." I said to him a little bit annoyed already.
"I wasn't lost in the first place Sage. What do you want?" He replied nonchalantly.
"I need to talk to you privately." I said to him.
"Huh? Why? What for?" He asked me looking suddenly tensed.
"Just follow me." I said to him and left the cafeteria without waiting for him.
I stopped at a corner in the hallway. Nobody was loitering around here so it'd be safe to talk.
I was very wary of all those air elementals. I noticed their ears are sharp and they pick up alot of things just by listening very closely.
I can't trust any of them because of that.
"What?" Damon asked me once he came to a stop and relaxed his back on the wall of the corridor.
"Did you say something you weren't supposed to say to Cassidy Fairchild?" I asked him and his whole face and demeanor entirely changed in a second.
And that's when I knew he did.
"What?" He asked me again but this time his tone was serious.
"Oh my god. What were you thinking?! Are you insane!? How could you even do that? Have you forgotten everything we've had to endure just to keep all this a secret?! And you're just blabbing all of it to a girl, all because you think she's pretty? Oh wow." I got furious with him.
He just sighed heavily and shaked his head.
"Would you just calm down. Look it was all a mistake. And I didn't tell her anything so stop accusing me without even trying to hear my own side of the whole thing." Damon said calmly to me.
"What is there to hear? You told her about our secret!" I almost snapped at him.
"For Pete's sake, I didn't tell her! She... she found out. She found out okay? I wouldn't tell anyone about this, I'm not stupid. I was shocked as well when she mentioned it to me and I didn't know how to deny it then because she literally saw me in the act." Damon tried to explain.
"She saw you? How? And when?" I asked him.
"Monster hunt Day. She did a fucking GPS tracking on me but with her eyes and that's when she saw me. I was taking down one of the monsters with ice. Everyone was scattered then so I didn't think anyone would actually see me do it." Damon explained.
"What? Wait she tracked you down using her eyes? That doesn't even make sense." I said clearly not understanding.
"You wouldn't understand. You weren't there. Cassie is actually more powerful than you think. She was able to see me and what I was doing with just her mind. Do you know how much power that is? She could literally be watching us right now and we wouldn't know, that's how powerful." Damon said to me and chuckled slightly.
"Wow. That's actually dope." I said still trying to process it all.
"Yeah. And not just that, she can also control people. This one happened right before my eyes. She mind controls people Sage. Now that is real power." Damon said and smirked.
I don't know why I didn't like the way he sounded while saying that.
He sounded obsessed.
"Yeah. I actually know about the mind control stuff." I said to him and pursed my lips.
"You do? How did you know?" He asked me.
"Actually I think she has used it on me a couple of times. And she also told me about it." I said to him.
"Oh. She used it on you.... And told you about it, willingly?" He asked me.
"Yeah." I replied.
"Wow. What exactly did she tell you? And how did it feel like? When she controlled you?" Damon asked me.
"Why do you want to know? Do you want her to control you too?" I asked him trying to evade the question.
"No. Ofcourse not. I'd rather be very much in charge of my own mind. So what did she tell you exactly? And when are you planning on telling mother about it" He replied and I frowned at the last part.
"Mother? This has nothing to do with her. And don't you dare say a word to her about this." I said to him.
"Why not? This is kinda important if you ask me. A war is coming Sage. Mother has to know everything that's going on with Cassie. Especially if it's this important." Damon said to me and I shaked my head in disapproval.
"If she really wants to know things about Cassie, why won't she ask her herself. Why try to use us to fetch information for her? I don't know about you but I don't trust Mom Damon. Not one bit." I tried to reason with him.
"Mother just wants what's best for everyone. Including Us. Don't talk down on her that way. And I just feel this is something she needs to know about. What if Cassie loses control one day and just mistakenly mind warps everyone in school and not know what to do to reverse it, Don't you think mother and the elementals would be needed then." Damon said to me.
"Cassie won't lose control. And I actually kinda trust her and so...please don't tell Mom about her powers, atleast not everything. I mean I don't think she has told anyone else yet about your ice powers has she?" I asked him and he raised his eyebrows.
"Just so you know she didn't tell me about you. She just asked me random questions about random things and made mention of ice powers along the way. So I put two and two together and knew she knew something." I said and shrugged.
"Fine. I won't tell mother about her powers. Yet." Damon said and smirked.
"You're a pain you know that?" I asked him with a frown.
"Don't worry. I know. So tell me, since Cassie kept mentioning Random things to you, did she also mention something about your blood magic thing or was it just about me?" Damon asked me and with that, my entire mood changed.
"Shut the hell up. Infact I'm done here. Have fun blabbing your every secret to every single girl that walksss pass you. Idiot." I said angrily to him and left him standing there alone. I heard his laughter from a distance.
He still had the guts to laugh at me. He is so lucky he's my brother otherwise, he wouldn't still have any teeth to be laughing by now.
As I was walking down the hall, I suddenly remembered the protective barrier Cassie also created during our fight.
Mind tracking. Mind control and now Protective barrier from harm.
That's alot of power though. All diverse. Different. Powerful.
I actually wonder if there is more she could do or just these three things.
I'm thinking there will be more. She's the first ever Fifth Element, what was I expecting if not perfection.
She really should stay away from my mother to avoid getting exploited.
Damon too. He's too attached to mother.

~Cassie's POV~
After Jake and I left the cafeteria, we went back to the abandoned building to just sit and chat.
"So that was interesting... You and Damon really don't like each other huh?" I said to him when we sat at a bench that was built-in at the balcony.
"Yeah. We've never really seen eye to eye. Although It was way worse when we were kids. Now we keep trying to tolerate each other." Jake said and chuckled.
"Yeah so I've seen. So How did you take Cara being friends with Sage at that time?" I asked him.
"So you've heard about that. Let me guess Madeline filled you in on it." Jake said and gave me a small smile.
"Yeah." I said shyly to him before thinking quickly. "Although, I'm not a gossip girl or anything like that. Madeline and Even Sage mentioned it to me some time ago." I added.
Jake simply nodded.
We both sat quietly for a few minutes and I didn't know what else to say to him.
"So tell me about yourself. If you don't mind." I blurted out but instantly regretted it because his mood seemed to change a bit.
"There isn't much about me Cassie. I'm pretty much a boring guy blessed with good looks and a sister." Jake said and gave me a cocky smile.
"Right." I said and blushed a little while looking away.
"Forget about me. Tell me about you. What your life was like before all of this. And your old friends and school..... your boyfriends. About your mom and just Everything." Jake said to me looking genuinely interested to know.
"Huh right. I was pretty much a lame girl back at home. Always the new girl in school and town because my mom and I were always moving due to the nature of her job. So I didn't really bother to make friends for keeps because there was no point if I was just going to leave them again in 6 months time. And that also meant no serious boyfriend. Boyfriends as you put it." I said to him and chuckled at the last part.
"Hmm. Interesting. So did you have a boyfriend right before you left home?" He asked me.
"No. I don't have a boyfriend currently if that's what you're asking." I replied cheekily.
"Do you fancy anyone around here?" He asked me.
"No. No I do not fancy anyone." I said awkwardly and laughed briefly.
"Right. What about Damon? Madeline told me he asked you out today." He said to me looking a bit hurt.
"Huh? Oh ohhhhhh. Right. Madeline told you about that. Great." I said but inwardly mind bombing Madeline right now.
Why would she even mention that to Jake in the first place.
"So? Do you want to go out with him?" Jake asked me.
"Um....no...no. not really." I said stuttering a little bit.
I wondered how many other people Madeline told.
I wouldn't want Damon to overhear this lie I made up from somewhere otherwise he would surely tease me about it nonstop.
"Good." Jake replied and smiled at me. I returned the smile.
~🔥🔥🔥🔥~
After spending the whole afternoon and evening there, just talking about anything that comes to mind, we finally decided to call it a day as it was getting pretty late.
"So I guess it's time we went back to our dorm." Jake said to me.
"Yeah right." I replied. Not wanting to leave him yet.
"Come on. I'll walk you to your dorm." He said to me and brought out his hand for me to take.
I looked at his hand for a few seconds before taking it. He helped me get up from my seat.
We were holding hands till a couple of students passed by us and that's when Jake detached his own hand from mine quickly.
He probably didn't want people to see us holding hands in other not to give out the wrong idea.
Although I didn't know why it made me feel hurt in a way.
