8hr 30 minutes later we landed in Kansas city, and we went to the baggage claim to find our stuff. It took a couple minutes but we finally found out stuff. We headed to the parking lot to look for Brents truck. He parked way in the back so it was a good hike to the truck. We headed to smithville, which was about 15 minutes away. We got home and unloaded stuff and i headed to bed. I woke up to a phone call from my friend Austin.

Austin "hey what's up boy what you doin?"

Aaron "Nun what you trying to do?"

Austin "Kick it, you down?"

Aaron "Hell yeah wear at?"

Austin "At Berry's"

Aaron "Ight be ill see you in a minute"

I got up and looked at the time, it was only 8:14pm. So i turned on the light and found some close to wear. I went to the bathroom and took a shower, and brushed my teeth. I made sure my close was matching with my shoes, because when im with Austin i'm always out going to parties, and doing something crazy. Berry lived all the way in Independence so it was going to be a fat drive. I showed up around 10 and headed up to the door and knocked, and walked in. I seen Austin and we did our handshake that we've done for years, then i walked over to Berry and did the same thing. I don't really know Berry, but he's friends with Austin so we're alright. There was about 10 people and i didn't really know them. I told Austin that we needed to go to the nearest gas station to get some things. Me Austin, and Berry head out to a poor boys which is about 3 blocks away. Ill tell you know we were not in a good neighborhood. To put it in terms i was the only white kid. We got to poor boys and there was a couple gang members wearing all blue, and we were wearing some read. So they thought we was something that we weren't, and started to talk crap to use. Well use be use we did not turn down so we started to talk back. There was 3 of us and 5 of them, but we still kept talkin. One hit Austin so me and Berry jumped in. we kinda separated and one of them pulled a gun, and started to shoot. I closed my eyes and put my arms up to protect my face. I heard him stop shooting and started to run off. I opened one i and seen a ice wall in front of me blocking all of the bullets. I looked at Austin, and Berry. We all took off back to Berry's house, and ran inside, and slammed the door. We headed to his room and shut the door behind us. I sat down looking at my heads. I finally looked up and noticed Austin and Berry staring at me.

Austin "what the hell was that man"

Aaron " i don't know, i just looked up and there was ice in front of me"

Berry "dude that was some sick stuff, can you do it again?"

Aaron "i don't know"

Austin "i'll go get a cup"

Austin opened the door and grabbed a cup with water, and ran back in and closed the door

Berry " come on try it again"

We heard a knock on the door. It was this girl asking for berry. We had forgot that there was about 10 people in his living room. He opened the door and asked what she needed. She said she heard a lot of yelling form in here, and that we ran in without saying anything. He told her to

close the door and that we would be out in a minute. Austin handed me the cup and i looked at it. I closed my eyes and felt the cup get really cold. When i opened my eyes i seen the hole cup was frozen solid. Berry, and Austin was just staring at it

Austin "But how?"

Aaron "i don't know, i.... I just don't know"

I put the cup down and, told them that we can not tell anyone until i figure out what this is. They both agreed. We all walked back into the living room, and told them about the fight, and how they shoot at us. We failed to mention about what really happened.

Be a potion maker's apprentice, they said. It would be fun, they said. It's not so fun on the top of this freezing cold mountain looking for Snowroot while my fingers threaten to fall off. A six day journey and for what? Another potion made for another noble? I spot some shining sprouts and climb over to them, slipping on every snowy step. Ice reaches through four layers of undergarments to stiffen my toes. I wasn't even making enough money yet. Once my mentor passes on, I'll take her place.

I pluck the Snowroot and stuff it into a small pouch on my belt. Only fifteen more plants to go. I longed for the warmer climate of my city, a three days walk from the bottom. I need to find all of them today to be halfway down the mountain by tonight, then on the road home tomorrow morning.

Top of my class in potion making and enchanting, accepted by one of the Royal League Witches, and now I'm here. Alone. Vigorously shivering on a mountainside. It's been a year of apprenticeship and I'm still taking orders. I swapped my usually long braid for a thick scarf of hair. Finally I filled my pouch with enough Snowroot to last us three orders and descended the mountain.

Three days passed, each one blissfully warmer than the next. I could finally shed a few layers back to my brightly patterned wrap. Winter clothes were so dull, I felt like I shed a part of myself when covering my cultural wear with gray coats and pants.

I stop in a small town along the way home to send a message through Firebreath, the dragon postal system recently set up by the Queen. One to my parents, assuring more money is coming soon. Another to a friend in Graytown, sending him some ingredients he'll put to use.

Back home in the local witch's tower, I lean against the open door with a sigh. One day this crooked tower would be mine, and I would be filling orders to whomever I granted the right to. The nobles treating me like an errand boy would be sorry. Well, I guess I was an errand boy. But they never said please. The Queen ruled the local wizard to be her own entity, so I can and will refuse some uptight nobles.

I call upstairs to my mentor, but she doesn't respond. I climb higher, expecting her to be too focused on counting the stirs of a brew to hear. I instead find her stuffed into a cauldron in the middle of the room. Dead. Being a potion maker's apprentice was about to get fun.

I pause in shock and silence for a few beats; then run out onto the street screaming like an absolute madman. My sentences are an incoherent jumble and passerby take notice. I scream for help and only then do they rush to my aid.

"Witch Emerald! She's dead!" I screech between a sob and a cry. Down the street, a group of guards collect and rush towards me. I direct them towards the tower and collapse onto the street.

When I wake up, I'm in the healer's hut. She wrings a towel out beside me and replaces the one on my forehead.

"Oh, good," She pats my face down and presses herbs onto my forehead. "You're up just in time for tonight's trial."

"Trial?" I jolt up and the nurse shushes me back down.

"Yes, dear," She hums. "You're being called up as a witness."

I sigh slightly. "Why a trial, though?"

"The guards think it was murder."

"Who would want to murder a senile old witch?"

"Plenty," She said, counting up on her fingers. "There's Benny, who was overcharged for his regular potion, Samire for not getting the apprenticeship to her that he wanted and you took, me for not getting my potions on time, hell, even you could be a suspect."

"Me?" I scoff. "Why would I want to kill the witch?"

Helen leans toward me. She squints and whispers just so, and my whole body shudders. "Power."

I open my mouth to say something, but she only stuffs a pouch in my mouth full of healing liquid. I bite down and the warmness of it floats around my mouth and down my throat. It's so soothing I nearly find myself back asleep.

A guard knocks at the door and enters before permission is given. He's a burly man, with a great uncombed mustache.

"The trial is beginning."

Mulan isn't a superhero or have special powers but she is one of the most loyal and honest brave warriors of China. She already was disguised as a man and joined the army which could of got her killed in war or by the men. Which was a very brave thing to do because they needed all the help they could get at the time. Mulan saw a man trying to force a family out of there home, she saw they we're torching the whole village that was over the hill that was always so unbothered and peaceful. They we're catching the houses on fire once they were finished with them and taking their children. Mulan had been scarred from when she was attacked last year and saved china.

She was still in shock what had happened and being in war and seeing everything that had happen to those men, she knew she couldn't just let these people be treated like this and get away with it. She took her sword out and went up to the women . " I'm going to get you children back and get you somewhere safe, go over here by this hay bale and stay hidden." Mulan told the woman. The woman nodded and stayed low and quiet. Mulan ran over to try to follow the men, she saw the children behind them and saw they were frightened. She tried to get their attention so they knew what was going on. The men we're not paying attention they we're trying to get into more houses and do more damage . Mulan pointed to the children that she was coming to save them and told them to stand back, the children nodded and stayed back as much as they could . Mulan ran towards one of the men , he didn't see her coming and silently left him on the floor with the other men not noticing. " I have two to go but they are much bigger" She thought to herself. Mulan went behind the other side of the house and made a sound to distract them and send them that way, she then hid behind a hay bale close and waited for them to pop up. She then stabbed one man and held hostage the other one and asked why he was doing this to these women and children, he then answered " because i wanted to " she then told the child to go her mother and killed the man .

Mulan doesn't like to hurt or take anyone's life, she does have a conscious and thinks about it and lets it get to her sometimes. She can't allow for that to let her let others get hurt people look up to her , people expect more out of her . Well she was the hero who saved the other entire country from the huns who tried to take over and ruin people's homes and take land. Mulan went to war dressed as a man and saw things most women would never get the chance to because the different lifestyles they live. Mulan is currently struggling to keep her mindset set on what's important to her than her fears.

One night Charles was upstairs doing his homework, when his dad busted into his room, his dad is a cop, and said "Hey son, there's been a dead body found. They need me down there, I'll be back tomorrow morning. Oh, and son...stay home and finish your homework. Could you do that for me?" "Sure thing dad! I'll just be here doing homework waiting for you to come home." Charles's dad knew that he wasn't going to stay home, he knew that once he left Charles was going to get into his 2004 Jeep Wrangler and go to his best friends house.

Charles did go over to his best friends house, right after his dad left. He couldn't wait to tell his best friend, partner in crime, "boyfriend". Charles went up to Eric and said "Yo, police officers just found a dead boy...let's go!!!!!" "NO way man!!! I'm not going to see a freaking dead body," shouted Eric at the top of his lungs. "But the thing is man, the body has been bitten in half...and she's in the woods." Charles and Eric just looked at each other for about a minute before Eric finally caved in and said that he'd go. By the time they go there, basically the whole police squad was there. They had to stay way back because Charles didn't want his dad to see him, and get grounded. Then something weird happened, but it only happened to Eric, Eric got bit by something. Eric was screaming in agony, Charles kept telling to shut up, or his dad would come and find them. The next thing you know Charles's dad comes up behind them and yells "What in the sam hell are you doing here Charles?!?!?!" Charles and Eric both slowly turned around, horrified, thinking that they were dead.

Charles's dad told one of the officers to take Eric home, so he and Charles can "talk". They were talking about how Charles never listens, how his dad is doing his very best to this day, because his mom died when he was just a little boy.

Charles was driving home one day, when he all of a sudden got an anonymous text saying that Eric was in big trouble. Charles hates when Eric gets in trouble without him. He would rather have himself get into trouble then have his other friends get into trouble. Charles drove straight toward the police office, as he was driving there he got another text from Eric saying that he was at his house waiting for him. He was very confused on where Eric was actually, so he called him up to see where he was.

"Hey Eric, where are you?"

"I'm at your house. Where are you?"

"I got a text from someone saying that you're at the police station."

"No. I'm at your house, I'm in your room. Who did you say that sent that to you?"

"It doesn't say a name. It just says that you're at the police station, because you got into trouble for trespassing."

"That's really weird, I'm literally in your house..in your room..on your bed. Question, why do you have so many of your dad's police cases?"

"Bro, that's not information that you need to know."

"Well okay then."

"I'll be home in a 10 minutes and we both can figure out who sent this."

When Charles got home he found Eric in his bed. Charles and Eric spent hours and hours trying to figure out who sent that message, they went all out trying to find out. They had to call their friend, Kiara, to come and help them.

Miles stood staring at Sara and Benetrice, who were grinning from ear to ear. Sara started jumping up and down and squealing. "Yay!" she said happily. She ran up to Benetrice and hugged her. "He said he'd do it, isn't that great?"

"Yes, dear, that's wonderful," Benetrice said. "Could you please calm down so I can tell him what he needs to do?"

"I'll do it!" Sara volunteered excitedly. She turned to Miles and continued, "youseethefirequeenandwaterqueendon'tgetalongwellsoweneedyouto-"

"Slow down," he said, struggling to keep up.

"Sara," Benetrice said. The girl stopped to look at the old woman.

"Yes?" she asked innocently.

"Why don't you wait outside?"

"Okay." She walked away with her shoulders slumped and climbed out of the cave. That's when Miles remembered that not only did he climb into the cave, but he had to climb out of it. And then he would have to do it again. And again. He shivered and put the thought out of his mind, turning to Benetrice to listen to what she had to say.

"So, what do I have to do?" he asked again.

"Let me tell you a story," she said, motioning for Miles to sit down. He chose a green checkered chair that stood near the sofa. "Once, many years ago, there were four elements that worked together in harmony. They had no rulers, no inhabitants other than small animals and bacteria. It was a lovely, happy world.

"Then nymphs came along, as well as more intelligent life. Humans were included among this new intelligent life, but they were not as intelligent as they might seem. They were cruel to each other, and sought to control the elements to which they were born. Soon four royal systems came into existence: the sky kingdom, the water kingdom, the earth kingdom and the fire kingdom.

"The fire kingdom and the water kingdom never got along well. They immediately began to fight, for the water kingdom had the most land and the fire kingdom had the least. The fire kingdom wanted power and the water kingdom refused to share.

"It always seemed to make sense to me that the two lands would be so opposed to one another. Real water would put out fire, and real fire would evaporate water. It's almost poetic, in a sad, twisted way."

"I still don't understand my role in this," Miles interjected.

"You are their savior," Benetrice replied. "Fire and water need a go-between, someone to help them learn to get along, or make one win over the other. The fighting is tearing the kingdoms apart, and if something doesn't happen soon another element might get involved. This needs to end quickly, and you are that quick end."

"So what I'm hearing," Miles said, "is that I need to find my own way to stop the fire and water kingdoms from fighting."

"Not on your own," she reminded him. "Sara and I will help you."

"Right," he said quickly.

"Now, there is an elements ball where Queen Andromeda and Queen Coraline meet only once a year. This year it will be taking place in Aerotopia, the sky kingdom. It will take place in three weeks."

"And I'll be attending this ball?" he guessed.

"Not necessarily," Benetice said. "Raymond Garand, a young man of royal blood who couldn't attend this year, will be going."

He smiled. "Then I suppose that make my new name Raymond."

"I suppose it does."

As the weeks passed, Benetrice and Sara taught Miles all they could about how to act like royalty. They joked around and laughed, and soon they were a very close group. Miles slowly developed a crush on Sara, but was too much of a wimp to tell her.

During one such lesson, Benetrice was napping on the couch and Miles was hanging out with Sara. They were supposed to be studying, but they were talking and laughing instead. At that moment they were playing a game of Truth or Dare.

"Truth or dare?" Sara asked.

"Truth," he said, playing it safe.

She thought for a moment. "What is your most embarrassing moment?" she said at last.

The more he thought about it, the more embarrassed he was. He had so many humiliating moments that he couldn't decide which one was the worst. And he certainly didn't want to share any of these stories with Sara. Sure that his face was beet red, he replied, "Dare."

"Go jump off the cliff into the ocean," she dared with an evil glint in her eye. He struggled to decide whether to do the truth or the dare, but neither option sounded great.

"Okay," he said nervously. She smiled and followed him out of the cave and up to the top, Miles repeating "don't look down" the entire time. After twenty minutes of this, they reached the top of the cliff. He clambered up, then reached his hand down to help Sara. She smiled and took his hand, making him blush.

They ran for a few minutes to an area where the beach faded away and the cliff dropped into the ocean. Miles took off his shoes and socks and ran for the edge, jumping into the cold ocean below. He screamed like a little girl the whole way down as Sara laughed maniacally above.

"You're evil," he yelled from the water, bringing another round of laughter from Sara. "I mean it. Why don't you try jumping into the freezing ocean from thirty feet in the air?!"

"Okay," she said. She backed up a little, then ran to the edge of the cliff and dived. She spun and tumbled as she fell, smiling the whole way down. She squealed when she hit the water.

"Wow, you weren't kidding," she giggled.

"You think that was fun?" Miles said incredulously.

"Of course," she answered. "I do this all the time."

"Now what?" he asked, shivering in the cold water.

"Race you to the beach," she replied. "On your mark, get set, go!"

They swam as fast as they could to the beach. Sara swam quickly with a butterfly stroke, whereas Miles flailed around, unable to swim in any specific stroke. Sara reached the beach long before he did.

"You're slow," Sara said playfully.

"You're fast," he replied.

They walked along the beach for a while, talking. Then they sat and watched the sun set over the ocean.

"It's beautiful," Sara observed.

"Yeah," he said lamely.

"Do you ever wonder whether this world is real?" she asked. "Am I real, or am I imagined by your dreams? Or is it the other way around? Is your world a dream?"

Miles frowned. He had never thought of it this way. "I don't think this is a question we can answer," he finally replied. "For now, I think we should assume that we are both real, watching this beautiful, real sunset."

She smiled. "I like that," she said. She leaned her head on his shoulder and they continued viewing the sunset in a blissful silence that said everything that they didn't.

The last few days flew by, a dark countdown to the day on which Miles would complete the prophecy and find his destiny. It was as if the ball glared at him down its nose, teasing him. Thousands of worries filled his mind. What if he couldn't stop the war? What if he wasn't the one from the prophecy? What if he were just like all the others who came before him, a fake who could never complete this impossible task?

Finally the fearful day came, and with it the pressure on Miles's shoulders reached its max. He was dressed in a simple black suit with a white shirt and a tie with zig-zagged lines on it, the only color in the outfit. It was simple, yet stylish, with a splash of personality.

They had been hiding in Aerotopia for a few days so that he would be able to go to the ball. Just when he was about to leave their hideout (an old abandoned warehouse), Sara came from behind a stack of old crates wearing a gorgeous green dress, her hair pinned atop her head. Her pretty face had slight hints of lip gloss and eye-shadow. Miles's jaw dropped at the sight of Sara looking so pretty.

"Y-you're dressed up too?" he finally stammered.

"I'm going as your date," Sara said. She blushed. "Undercover as your date, I mean. Not actually a date."

"Right," he said just as Benetrice stepped in.

"Sara, we never discussed this," she said angrily. "It's too dangerous for you."

"I'm going," Sara said determinedly.

"No, you're not."

"I am!"

"I don't have time for this," Benetrice said, irritated. "Fine, you can go. But I'll be watching from the security cameras the entire time."

"How?" Miles asked. Was security that low for a ball filled with important people?

"I'll hack the system, of course," she replied. "I wasn't Queen Andromeda's advisor for nothing, you know."

"Yeah," he said distractedly. He turned and faced the fading sunlight coming in through the open door. It was time. He took the first step out of the warehouse and began to walk to the ball.

When the trio stood outside the king's palace they parted ways. Benetrice took her laptop and sat somewhere in the shadows. Sara tugged on Miles's arm. "Put it around me," she said. "I'm your date, remember?"

"Right," he said, putting his arm around Sara's waist. He guided her to the doors, where a servant waited to lead them to the ballroom.

"Right this way, sir," the servant said. The two guests were led down several passages, all elegantly decorated with pillars, paintings and vases. Huge chandeliers hung from the ceilings, flooding the hallways with light.

Finally they arrived at the grand doors to the ballroom. Real gold filled a beautiful design of flowers on it. Miles could have looked at it all day long. The guide introduced them as Wilma Smith and Raymond Garand. Then they entered the room.

The two feuding queens weren't hard to find. They stood beside the refreshments table, arguing over who could have the last chocolate cookie. Queen Andromeda wore a dress that tumbled to her ankles. She stood in heeled stilettos. The dress itself was red and looked like fire. In stark contrast, Queen Coraline wore a blue-green dress that flowed like silk past her feet, hiding her shoes from sight. It was almost as if it were a stream. Miles walked over to them.

"Your majesties," he said, bowing.

"What do you want?" the two women asked simultaneously. They turned and glared at each other.

"I simply wanted to say hello," he said politely. He gestured to some tables lining the dance floor. "Shall we sit?"

The two queens looked at him skeptically. "No," the fire queen said, turning away. The water queen looked at Andromeda, then deliberately did the opposite of what she did.

"I would love to sit with you," she said with a small curtsy. Miles kissed her ring, then led her to a table and pulled out a chair for her. Coraline smiled and accepted the seat.

"I'm very sorry about Andromeda's behaviour," she said apologetically.

"It was not your fault," he said, "but I humbly accept your apology."

"I didn't think she could be so rude," she complained.

"I don't mind," he told her.

"I do," she said angrily. "It makes me so frustrated."

"Have you tried talking to her?" he asked. "Perhaps there is a reason for her behaviour."

"Perhaps," she replied, thinking. It was then that he noticed Sara's disappearance. He scanned the room, searching for her. He quickly found her at another table talking to Andromeda.

"Hello," the queen was saying. "Earth to Raymond."

"Right," he said, remembering that he was Raymond.

"I was saying, maybe we should go talk to them," she said.

"That's a lovely idea," he replied. The queen led the way to the table where Sara sat speaking with Queen Andromeda.

"You," Andromeda said angrily.

"I simply wish to talk," Coraline told her.

"You are the plague that ruins my kingdom," Andromeda said. "I never want to talk to the likes of you."

"The likes of me?" the water queen said, becoming angry. "How rude!"

" I'm rude? You're the one who's ruining my kingdom."

"How? I've never done anything to deserve this!"

"You have all the land! There is nowhere for my people to stay. They are hungry and cramped while you have all the oceans to work with, as well as several islands."

"That's not my fault!" Coraline insisted.

"It is!" Andromeda said. "You could share, or help, but instead you just sit on your mounds of money and leave the rest of us to rot."

"You never asked for help," Coraline said sadly.

"I knew you wouldn't help me," Andromeda said.

"Of course I'll help. Anything you need, I'll help you," Coraline said. The two queens embraced just as the thunder began to crash.

"What is that?" Sara said.

"Thunder," Miles said curiously. Light split through the ceiling, illuminating the ballroom. "And lightning."

Grey thunderheads formed over the ballroom, lighting branching out from inside them. A man with hair as grey as the clouds he emerged from came forth, wielding a staff that buzzed with electricity.

"All of those in this room are no longer loyalty," King Cumulus declared. "I no longer rule only Aerotopia, because I rule every kingdom that lives in the hearts and minds of you peasants." He said "peasant" as though it were the most disgusting thing in the world. "It is time for this kingdom to be mine," he yelled as thunder clapped behind it. "MINE!"

I'm crying again. Why do I always cry before I go to school? Why can't I cry at night?, when I have enough time for my face to adjust from puffy, red eyes to soft glowy cheeks and a warm smile. I don't even change out of my clothes from the night before because my foster parents of 3 years won't take me to get clothes. I'm known as the smelly teen in my school because John and Annie won't let me take a shower. They tell me they don't want me to use it because I will take to long like "all teens do". I usually take a shower at school when I can but the janitors catch me before the school opens and get angry with me.I suddenly realize I'm about to be late, I run to school that is two blocks away from my house.

I wouldn't even call this place my house it's only filled with their opinions and constant hurt. I have nothing here that has made me want to stay. I get hit by Annie on my way out she tells me I'm a brat again and don't deserve to live. You'd think I would say something back or acknowledge her but I've learned it's best to just accept people for who they are because saying hurtful things back will only make me into the person they are.

I always have the same repetitive school day but today was different I just got told I was elected as Student President but I don't have anyone to give me rides for meetings and etc., so I declined. On my way home a girl named Tiffany (Dyed blonde hair, has PINK merchandise on everyday) passes by me I put my hood over my head so she doesn't see me. She looks at me and then glances away but 5 seconds later she stands right in front of me not letting me move. "Hi Tiff..." I say but she interrupts. " Hi Stinkstra" she says, mocking my last name, Steenstra. I try to get out of her way but she won't let me, I feel this urge to tell her it's not her fault her parents have made her into who she is and she has time to change, but instead she pushes me on the ground like John and Annie have millions of times before but this time it's different, I start to cry.

"Oh no she's crying should I stop?" She's just taunting me now. I can't stop crying, what do I do? I feel this feeling I have never felt before, I stop crying and stand up firmly and strong. I feel energy that eases my rapid beating heart and goes through my arm. I grab her hand and tell her "I forgive you and everything is going to be alright". Her face changes she looks at me sternly I expect her to hit me again like Annie and John would but instead she says "Thank you, I am so sorry Vivien for all the pain I have caused you". I am exhausted by the time she hugs me and walks away, I feel more drained than I have ever felt. How did this happen?; I think to myself. What did I just do? What was that feeling I felt in my arm when I touched her? That was far from normal. I get "home" and feel like I'm walking in a fog of confusion.

On my bed I find a heart shaped ring perfectly placed, it is glowing like it has been waiting for me, I put it on because I think it's beautiful and breathe in deep automatically. I lay down on my sheet on the mattress and take a nap because this day has been crazier than I could ever imagine. The last thought I have before I go to sleep is that someone, not Annie and John had to have put this on my bed when I was at school because they would never give me a crumb of a cookie let alone a heart shaped purple diamond ring. Who could it have been? I start to relax and sink into my bed and then all of a sudden I drift off into an effortless sleep.
