"WHAT DID YOU SEE?" Hissed Kai, as he lunged at Carol's shaking body.
"I- had a vision-" She stuttered. "- Of all of you. Y-You were dying. O-One by one."
Jess fell to the floor.
"It's confirmed. W-Were going to die." Stuttered Jess. She looked atrocious- like she pondered over where she had gone wrong.
"Guys. Stop jumping to assumptions. Like Carol said when Stiles had his prophecy, her prophecies could be symbolic." I countered
"Of course you would say that Ember." Shrilled Lexi as she scrunched her nose in bitterness.
"Excuse me bitch?" I looked at her, beaming with fury.
"You were the one who brought us into this." Accused Lexi, her eyes flickering from my socks to my face.
"W-what. How? It was the marker." Argued I- balling my fist.
"You were going to die anyway." Snapped Lexi, as she glanced away.
"Woah- Lexi. Out of line." Said Kai.
"AM I? AM I? I THINK THE FUCK NOT." Hissed Lexi, as she flipped her hands in the air dramatically at Kai.
Jess walked over to Lexi with furrowed eyebrows. Her lips were perched and her head had a vein pulsing on it. She stared. Both gleaming at each other. And then. 3-2-1.
SLAP.
Jess smacked Lexi on the right of her face.
Lexi placed her hand over her face, which had a growing red smudge.
"How dare you- you prissy cow. He's our broth-" Hissed Jess.
"Did you just slap me?" Roared Lexi. She had her hand over her face, covering it.
"Yeah. You need to watch your limits." Jess snarled- like an evil mother in law.
"Oh shut up you-fat nerd." Buzzed Stiles.
"S-Stiles?" Jess called- she sounded hurt.
"Yeah that's right. You heard me. You always act so smart. Yet perhaps it's covering up your true factor. The thing that makes you- you." Bitched Stiles.
"And what is that?" Asked Jess sarcastically.
"Weakness." He stated. A quick and fiery burn.
"I-" Said Jess speechless. "First of all I'm not the fat one." Jess peeked at Lexi maliciously.
"Bitch I'm fat and I'm proud!" Said Lexi boldly, as she grazed her own body.
"You're weak Jess. A shy little rat, scared from facing your true demons. You even-" Stiles continued.
"DONT." I said to Stiles holding my hand out calming him. "Don't say it."
"You even have the weakest element." Lexi finished it. Damn- She actually said it.
I don't know what was worse. The body shaming or the power shaking.
That doesn't seem like Stiles or even Lexi.
Well grief does a lot of things.
Jess didn't say anything. Instead she nodded her head in that way that implied "so you're going to say that then."
"What the hell is wrong with you guys?" I asked
"Oh shut up." Denounced Lexi, as she quickly dismissed me.
"Yeah- shut up." Said Kai, whose forehead suddenly creased as his eyes glimmered with hate.
"Oh not you too." I groaned.
"Always the centre of attention. The oldest. Even though we- know that isn't quite true." Yelled Kai.
"We're supposed to be one. Kai." I said, staring at him.
"Yeah but do I really want to be with you? You're annoying. A loser. A dead loser that is. Water- beats fire." He cussed venomously.
"You sure about that?" I said, eyes burning-scarlet. All of a sudden- a raging anger stifled inside of me. Like a volcano- I was ready to erupt.
"Guys- calm down." Carol whispered, at a distance, attempting to tame the beasts, unleashed.
It was then, when a bolt of lightening struck the ground from the room. It missed us all yet it was enough to send us stumbling back. The debris of the roof, on the other hand fell right on top of Stiles. It bounced off because he's- you know.
"LEXI?" Yapped Carol, who looked at her; Stunned.
"I-I didn't do it." She said, in shock.
All of a sudden, the ground shook and started cracking. It started moving and I felt myself getting being pulled to the right. Whereas Kai was being pulled to the left.
"Earthquake!" Shrieked Carol.
Yet as we were about to react, something emerged from the cracks monumentally. A boulder of rock
We all looked at Stiles. He shook his head.
"Oh no." Muttered Carol, finally realising what was happening. "EVERYONE OUT!"
It took a second to process yet we ran to the door, around the pillar of rock. Yet slime slithered from the ceiling- carefully splitting, as it spilled in front of the door, blocking us. It appeared from the corners and like a sly spider, it crawled everywhere.
"We're blocked?" Whimpered Stiles.
"UPSTAIRS NOW!" Carol screamed, as she tried avoided the rocks and the slime infested ground that blanketed half of the house. Yet Stiles(who was at the front) tried taking one step towards the stairs, when water started pouring from the floor. There was no hole like before but instead it just magically appeared like it created itself.
"Try running before it gets bigger!" Yelled Jess to Stiles yet as he approached the puddle. Something jumped from it. A crocodile fashioned out of water. It was cool but also- given the circumstances- pretty bloody scary.
Its scales was made out of water as was its whole skin. It was transparent and clear so that you could see the water inside of it. Think of it as- literal water. It jumped from the tiny puddle and jumped back into it- disappearing.
I presumed that if Stiles tried walking by it again- it would jump back out.
The aqua crocodile prevented us from going upstairs, as the slippy surface was too difficult to walk on and we couldn't get passed the bastard. The ground was still shaking and another pillar emerged from the ground, giving us even less space to walk. How many before we couldn't even breathe?
"I guess this is it." Said Jess, as she gripped Stiles hand.
"No." Carol said. We looked at her. She slipped past the boulders as she tumbled on her feet and she went to the slime that blocked the door and- Screamed.
Like before, the scream was loud enough to disrupt our ears and all our senses.
It was even loud enough to dissolve the slime as it blasted into pieces. Heck even the boulders cracked yet the house was in shambles, destroyed from every end. It was good timing too. It was a ghost town. Nobody lived here except us.
We went outside, taking a deep breath, processing what had just happened.
It was midday and the sky was orange- with a mix of purple.
"W-what?" Asked Jess- too gobsmacked to even finish the sentence.
Everyone looked like a total mess. Stiles' hair was smothered with dust and small rock particles. Kai's wavy hair was crunchy with slime and everyone looked like a total mess.
"The hatred, the anger- the sudden mood swings. Even the powers going out of sync. It can only mean one thing-" Stated Carol.
"-She's here"
