Chapter 63 A Way In
THE Fifth ELEMENT 🌊🔥🌪️⛰️🌀
JAKE'S POV
I thought hard on how we were going to get inside the Gate..... Everyone got so tired of looking around for a way in and decided to sit down in a hut that wasn't too far from the Gate.
"How about we try melting the damn gate down cause I don't see any other means to get in." Cara said and hissed.
"Yeah you're right. We should also ask them to serve us dinner while we're at it since calling to their attention isn't an issue for us anymore." Sage replied sarcastically.
"Oh yeah, well do you have any other suggestions since you're the wise one here." Cara said and rolled her eyes at Sage.
"Okay let's just think for a minute. I know there's a way to get in without setting off an alarm." Damon said.
"Wait, I actually have an idea. Why don't we wait for someone or anyone to come through the gate, then we ambush whoever it is and get in." Madeline said and shrugged.
"Yeah. That seems to be the only way in right now." I agreed with her.
"Okay then it's settled. We wait." Phoebe said and sat on the ground.
We all sat down quietly and pretty much stayed in silence.
No one had anything to say to each other. I'm sure we were all thinking about how crazy and dangerous what we're doing is.
After some time passed, I heard Phoebe calling out and waking everyone up.
I must have dozed off a bit too.
"Guys guys get up! They're coming out. Someone's coming out from the gate!" Phoebe said panicking a little.
Everyone stood up, ready for the next thing we had to do which was ambushing whomever came out from the gate.
We peeped at a corner while the gate slowly opened up, three people came through, surprisingly they looked around our age, or maybe a little closer but not far off.
They were chattering and was about walking pass where we hid, then Damon came out of hiding.
"Hey mates, where're you lots off to?" Damon asked them casually.
"Um.. are you a soldier here? You don't look very familiar to me." One of the three said to him.
"Soldier? Well yes I am. I'm new here. You probably don't know me yet. But I know you three. I've seen you around a few times or so." Damon said to them smoothly.
He's good at lying. Not surprised.
"What are you doing out here soldier?" One of them asked him.
"It's a long story comrade. I wouldn't want to bore you with the unfortunate events that led me out here." Damon said and Shaked his head.
"Okay. You better get back inside before others start noticing your absence." One of the comrades said.
"Okay. Thank you for understanding. You're too kind." Damon said and made his way inside the gate.
The rest of us stayed back and remained hidden.
I'm sure Damon would find a way to open up the gate for us again. Now we just wait. Again.
"He IS really reckless. Wow." Cara said out loud.
"Oh You have no idea." Sage replied her.
Cassie's POV ~
It's been more than 24 hours since I was kidnapped, and I'm pretty sure everyone at school knows I'm missing now.
I wonder if they've sent out some people to come rescue me.
I have the fifth element after all, and I'm sure that makes me pretty important.
I tried to find someone, anyone through my mind but everything was still pitch black. It seemed like my powers weren't still working yet.
I thought that elder dude said whatever that was blocking my magic would clear up soon. It's been awhile since then but I still can't do anything.
He was probably lying about it which means he was also lying about my father and mother.
I need to get out of here. Soon.
I heard a small knock on the door and quickly sat up from the bed.
I didn't respond and the door opened, revealing Mr Ken.
"Cassie, how are you feeling today?" He asked me. As if he cares.
"I'm feeling like going back to the school. Can you make that happen?" I asked him sarcastically.
"Well I can't really do that, I'm sure you know that already." He replied.
"Yeah sure. Didn't think so." I said and folded my arms.
"Umm Cassie, there are people that wants to see you, come on out for a while." He said and gestured with his hands.
"What people? Those elders again?" I asked him.
"Not just them. Everyone here. I think it's proper they all officially meet the fifth element in person" he said and smiled.
I sighed heavily.
"I don't want to meet anyone else." I said to him.
"I know but it's not really your call to make here." He was still smiling.
I don't trust Mr Ken one bit. Everything is just off about him.
"Of course. Can I atleast get a change of clothes? I've been wearing this for ages now." I say to him.
"Of course, of course. Just a second, let me arrange something nice for you." He said and left the room.
I sighed once more.
It didn't take up to ten minutes before I heard a small knock on the door again and it opened without me giving a go ahead.
"No seriously Why even bother knocking if you're all just gonna keep coming in whenever you want." I said feeling annoyed.
"Here." Some clothes were thrown at me. I looked up in annoyance and saw the girl with ice powers glaring at me with folded arms. She seemed not to like me at all.
Well I feel the same way.
"Gee thanks." I said sarcastically.
"You're welcome, you have 2 minutes." She said, her death glare still persistent.
I watched her as she cat walked out of the room and closed the door behind her.
I chuckled to myself.
"Bitch." I murmured and rolled my eyes.
I changed swiftly into the new clothes little miss grumpy pants threw at me.
It wasn't the best of clothes but wasn't bad either.
It was a black top with black trousers and a black leather jacket.
I guess they're all obsessed with black here.
The door flew open immediately I was done changing.
"I guess you followed my advice about forgetting the whole principle of knocking and being a decent human being. Good job." I said to her, not relenting on the sarcasm.
"Do me a favor and shut up. I wouldn't want to knock the fifth element out before everyone meets her." She said to me.
"Yeah. You know, you should be thankful my powers are still dormant now, so you can say and do whatever that makes you feel good about yourself. For now. Until my powers come back. Then We'll see who'll be knocking who out." I said to her and smirked a little.
I walked towards the door and turned back to look at her still staring after me. I guess she felt threatened. Good.
"Are we going or what?" I asked her and she scoffed.
She caught up with me by the door and rolled her eyes at me.
"Just follow me." She said and I followed.
