Escape Chapter Two

The next day stated out much like the first one, but rapidly increased in strangeness. After breakfast, Jess pulled me aside.
"Wanna take a walk?" She asked.
"Sure!"
So we went to Mrs. Jenkins, who said yes, we may. Then we walked out into the cool air.
"Let's go through the forest and to the lake." I suggested.
"Okay."
So we walked into the forest, and I was greeted by the sound of birds chirping. Me and Jess chatted all the way through the forest, and stopped only when we reached the lake. There we saw five teens siting far away from the water on the hot sand. As soon as they saw us they jumped to their feet and advanced cautiously.
"Um, Ellen, Let's go back." Jess proposed cautiously, backing up defensively.
"Why? We have plenty of time."
"Just go, Jusa!"
"Jess, my name is Ellen."
"No time to talk! Hurry!"
Just as she spoke, the teens broke into a run, and my heart stopped as I recognized them. The teenagers from my dream.
Jess's cry of "Run, Jusa!" Snapped me out of my thoughts. The teens were
drawing swords. Flaming swords. Oh, did I run. I didn't care if Jess was calling me Jusa, I didn't care about anything but getting away, getting away from the craziness of it all. So I followed Jess, through the forest, and into a clearing. Jess stopped. I ran into her.
"Why are we stopping?! Those teens have flaming swords! Flaming swords!"
Jess didn't answer. Instead she looked at a tree. Then, to my surprise, a boy about our age jumped out. The boy from my dream. Man, what is it about my dreams and reality!
"Aru, man am I glad to see you." Jess said.
"Now it's my turn to save you? Oh boy! I'm so excited!" As the boy, or as I assumed he was called, Aru, said this, he drew a sword. An ice sword. What is it with elemental swords!
Then the teens rushed in. Aru glared at them with cold hate, which was returned with flaming triumph. They charged. Then, the most amazing thing happened. Aru's eyes glowed silver, and ice instantly speared teen one. Well, there goes that guy. Aru then slashed at them with his ice sword with incredible accuracy, and Jess was joined the fight, ice sword in hand. Back to back they defended each other and soon all five teens were either frozen, speared on icicles like shish-kababs, or cut down.
"You've sure got some explaining to do!" I yelled. "Why've you been calling me Jusa?! My name is Ellen! You've known that ever since I met you! What's up with this ice and fire thing!?" My eyes burned with cold fury as I marched toward Jess and Aru.
"We don't have time to explain, not now. There are more coming." Aru replied calmly. "You will get your answers soon enough."
Then he leaped into the tree, Jess following. I sighed. I Guessed I had no choice, so I followed them.
