The Elemental Stones

Two

Mason felt the tears in his eyes starting to sting him from where he was just staring at the spot Liam was in. He could not believe that everyone was gone. He looked up and turned to the pillar that the girl was behind. He glared and yelled, "You!"

The brunette came out from behind the pillar, "Eheh y-yeah?" She nervously questioned him.

"You're helping me save everyone!" He demanded, a deep growl coming from his chest. He did not even question why she was here.

The girl nodded, "Well duh!" She crossed her arms, she then seemed to remember something that caused her eyes to widen, "COLE!" She exclaimed before running out of the castle.

Mason was shocked at how fast she could run but followed behind her anyways. He ran as fast as he could to keep up with her. As they continued to run into the village, the girl screeched to a halt when in front of a three-story building. Mason looked up to the sign after stopping and realized that the building was the Northern Orphanage. The girl burst into the orphanage and raised her ears to listen for noise or movement. Mason followed in behind her and they both started to hear crying. She turned her head and ran upstairs and to the room where the crying was coming from. Mason followed her again and saw that the crying was coming from a ten-year-old boy with a red beanie, orange-red hair, and circular glasses sitting in the corner, his head in his hands.

The girl next to Mason let out a sigh of relief and happiness, "Cole!"

Cole looked up with tears in his hands and on his cheeks, "Rose!" He cried out with happiness and ran over to her.

Rose let a few tears fall as she hugged her little brother tightly. Mason let out a groan and looked to the family reunion, "Come on we need to get going now,"

Rose looked up at Mason and nodded, she stood and took hold of Cole's hand and started to walk out with Mason, "Is there any place you want to go to see if people are...alive?" She mumbled the last part. As he was about to answer, Rose got a call on her phone, she answered it with a "Hello?"

"Hey, are you and your brother alright?" asked a man on the other end of the phone.

She smiled, "Yeah, we're okay, what about you Noah?"

"We're okay as well," He replied.

"We're?"

"Alpha girl and me," He caught himself, "I mean the head of security,"

Rose lifted her head and looked at Mason, "We found some other people, It is my friend and another Alpha but it's a girl," She explained while walking.

Mason nodded and took out his phone. He opened his sister's contact and called her, after a few rings she answered and he asked, "Hey sis you at work?" He asked and when she responded, he responded with, "Alright see ya soon,' He then hung up.

"We'll have to go get my sister," He said to Rose.

After the call they walked back to the castle, they went to the giant garage that was a part of Mason's area of the castle. He opened the garage and the light hit a dark red Indian Chieftain with a sidecar on the side.

"Get in you two," He motioned to the sidecar and threw them two helmets as he climbed on with his helmet on. Once Rose and Cole got in the sidecar and had their helmets on, he started up the motorcycle and drove off towards his sister's work.

Cole looked to his sister and whispered in her ear, " Rose, are we going to be okay?"

She looked down to her little brother and smiled, trying to be seen as the strong authority figure he needs, "Of course,"

After about an hour of driving, they stopped in front of the new bowling alley that was just put in. It was a cool place in Mason's opinion, it had an arcade, bumper cars, it even had its animatronics. His sister does work as the head of night security. Mason, Rose, and Cole got off the Indian and walked to the entrance of the building.

A dark-skinned, 6ft man with dark brown hair pulled up into a bun with a five-o clock shadow on his chin walked out when seeing the trio coming to the entrance. The man was on the phone trying to get a hold of his family and friends, but there was not any luck at all. Once the man saw Rose and Cole, he put his phone back in his pocket and ran to the two, collecting them in a big hug," I'm so glad that you guys are okay," He said and nodded at Mason in respect.

Mason nodded back and ran inside, looking for his older sister. The sister in question was a 5ft 7', pale-skinned, grey hair girl with dark circles under her eyes. She was standing near one of the animatronics, cleaning the gunk off it. She turned her head and saw her younger brother, she gave a small half-smile and turned fully, "Sup little brother," She said, her voice sounding groggy from not having a normal sleeping schedule in a while. Mason walked up to her and hugged her tightly.

The others walked in as Mason and Miya let go of each other, "So..." the bun boy asks, "What happened to everyone?"

Mason turned to them, "Well apparently this man was arguing with my father about where some stones were and he got mad when my father did give him an answer, he got angry and made everyone disappear other than us," He looked down in shame, "I tried to stop him from hurting my father, but then everyone was taken away."

"So, we have to find stones then?"

"If we have to find them, how do we know where they are?" Rose asked, crossing her arms in an annoyed manner.

"Dad always used to tell us a story about some stones," He clarified, looking to his sister.

Miya nodded, "He said that they reside in places that are guarded by the elemental warriors," She added.

"That's cool, well we have to get packing then. Meet back here in an hour?" Rose requested, looking at the others.

Everyone nodded and got into their separate vehicles and drove off to their homes.
