Sleeping on a pile of dirt is never comfortable, and I knew from experience.

“Cole! Get up!” Cora called. Cora is my sister, or at least my supposed sister. She’s not blood but, very sisterly. We pretty much look like siblings too! She has long brown hair, and has a tan. Same as I, but I’m pretty pale though.

“Okay!” I called back. I got dressed with my signature green polo shirt and jeans with black tennis shoes. Once I was done, I went to our stuff to get moving again. Where are we going? Oh, America. Yeah, it’s like, 3000 miles away, but it’s not that far when you think about it. Cora and I can get there in less than, a day? Three at most. If we aren’t stopped by the Coldies then we’ll be fine. The Coldies are actually the Russians who are trying to get us and use us for our powers or something. Like a weapon of mass destruction. Cora and I still don’t get why all the humans want world domination. They already have their country’s rule, why are they so greedy? Anyways, the Coldies have been after us for about 2 weeks and we escape before they can get us.

“COLE! Come on!” Cora nagged walking over to me. “Y’know, for a guy who has superspeed, you’re REALLY slow today...” I tuned her out because she was being annoying. Rustle, rustle the bush went near Cora. The hairs on my neck stood straight as I instinctively clamped my hand on Cora’s rambling mouth.  “Meyy!” Cora protested. I motioned towards the bush and signaled to run. Cora nodded and got ready. “Three… two…. ONE!” I counted silently. Whoosh, something shot, but Cora and I was already gone. We ran at about 100 miles per hour, after 10 minutes we stopped to take a break.

“You think we lost them?” I asked Cora who was out of breath.

“Yeah,” She wheezed. She wasn’t ready to run so we would probably be walking for a hours now. Her lungs aren’t as strong as mine, because they contain fire. “Hey, are you okay?” I nodded, not trying to worry her. Anyways, yes, they contain fire, because she can control fire. She can breathe and shoot fire, but if she gets winded then her eternal flame, well might not be so eternal if you know what I mean. I on the other hand am a Water mage, so I can control water. I have a little pouch where I keep water just in case. Just between you and me though, I’m afraid of drowning. Yep, I have aquaphobia. I’ll probably get over it though, but I’ve been having this… recurring dream that Cora, some other kids and I are drowning in a pool and I can’t save them. It’s freaky.

“Cole,” Cora said getting up. “Lets get going now.”

“Now? Are you okay still? Don’t you wanna sit down or something?” I questioned.

“Nah, we don’t wanna get held up, we gotta be in Mexico by tomorrow. So let’s just walk for a while then superspeed there. Okay?”

“Yeah that’s fine,” I got up and brushed myself off. “Don’t you want some water before we go?”

“No, let’s make it last a while, we don’t know when we’ll see another spring of water. C’mon.”

So, Cora and I made our way into the unknown to get to America.
