CHAPTER

5

The thing crashed through the trees. It had bright red eyes, and that’s all I could see. Both Alexander and I shot up. Alexander moved in front of me protectively. I could hear a low his emanating from his mouth.

"What is it?" I whispered into his ear.

"A water dereni." He said.

"What the hell is a ‘dereni’?" But my answer came. The monster moved into the moonlight. It was a huge… thing made of water. It had glowing red eyes, and it looked like electricity was running through the water. All the electricity seemed to emanate from one area in the Dereni.

"See that, Alex? There is energy currents running throughout the… glob."

"No there isn’t!" He said. I must be able to see the energy! I thought to myself. It had the shape of a person-only more blobish- I could almost clearly see the other side of it. Alexander ran at it, his hands curved into claws.

The elemental locked eyes with me and suddenly I knew what to do. I held up my arms, palms facing it, and suddenly I could see the energy coming towards me. I cringed but held my gaze locked firmly on the Elemental. I could tell it was getting weaker and smirked to myself in triumph. I had most of the energy now, only a few sparks lingered in it, I gathered all the energy into a ball and hurled it at the dereni.

The dereni let out a blood curdling scream, the scream of death. The red eyes disappeared and it fell into one giant- almost pond size- puddle. Alexander looked confused as he stared at the mass of water then looked up at me. I felt faint and with one gasp started falling to the ground. Alexander was by my side in an instant.

He picked me up bridal style and carried me back to the blanket with ease. Once I had regained my equilibrium Alex shook me.

"Are you alright, Kasper?!" He asked worriedly. I glared at him.

"Yeah yeah I’m perfectly fine! I’m Freaked-out, Insane, Neurotic, and Emotional! So yes I’m absolutely F-I-N-E!" I stated through clenched teeth. I felt realy weak.

"I should’ve never brought you out here… it’s just I wanted to be with you… not you and Cathy… Don’t get me wrong, she’s cool and all it’s just annoying sometimes…" I nodded knowing perfectly well just how eccentric Cathy could be.

"So why are you springing the whole ‘True Love’ thing on me on our first date?" Kasper asked him. His face showed embarrassment.

"I’m not sure… it just came off my tongue." I looked over his features again, but this time to burn it into my memory… Maybe if I have it at the top of my head I won’t be surprised to see his perfect face every time I see him. Alexander smirked. GET OUT OF MY HEAD! He just smiled. As if he couldn’t help himself, he grabbed my chin and crushed his lips against mine. I was shocked at first but then kissed him with equal intensity. It was a need. I felt myself drawn to him, and I know he felt the same to me.

"Well do you believe i like you now?" I asked jokingly after that long intense kiss between us. He rolled his eyes.

"I should be the one asking you that..." He said with a smile. "Come on let’s go back."

Alexander! Kasper!one of Cathy's favorite forms! ;)
