Chapter 10
"ASTER! ASTER!"
It had been hours of searching. The wind had let up a while ago, but Aster was nowhere to be found. Sam's voice was raspy, but she continued on.
"Sam, you need to stop doing this to your voice."
"He's my brother!"
"We'll find him, but you sound absolutely crappy right now."
She takes a deep breath and sighs.
"Fine. But we have to find him. If my parents lost another kid..."
We never talked about her time on Earth. It wasn't relevant, but we all knew that she resented the time she spent away from her parents.
I was always a little sad that my dad wasn't there for less than five years. But... it wasn't his choice. I knew that.
"They're not losing a kid today."
"Y-yeah." She looks away.
Vapor looks around, his eyes were good in the dark, curtsey of his father's element.
"Hey... I think I see him."
He runs over and freezes.
"Guys... this isn't good."
Sam and I exchange a look, before running over.
"Aster..."
He was knocked out by a tree branch that had fallen on him. Probably because of the strong winds. He had some gashes here and there, but luckily nothing too bad.
"Let's get him to your dad."
Sam nods and lifts the branch off him.
"Whoever did this is going to pay."
~~~
I hadn't meant for it to get this bad. But at one point, it was out of my control. Winds warped around me. It made me feel powerful. I wanted that power.
But I had done too much too soon.
"Solar! Where you've been?"
"Oh, uh, I was in the forest. When the wind came, I hid."
Sunrise sighs.
"The wind came out of nowhere. If you want to talk to Sam, she's outside her house."
I nod and walk over to Sam.
"Hey."
"Hey..."
She was sitting on a little bench outside her door.
"Can I... Can I tell you something?"
"Yeah, sure."
She smiles. The same perfect smile that made me happy.
"I... I was the one that started the wind."
"W-what?"
"I don't know what happens-"
Her face darkens and she stands up.
"I can't believe you."
"I-I didn't know-"
"Aster got hurt because of you. A lot of people got hurt because of you! You're so stupid."
My eyes widen.
"I... I didn't think-"
"YEAH, YOU DIDN'T THINK. THAT'S PRETTY CLEAR."
Vapor and Sunrise look over at us, concerned.
"I'm s-sorry."
"Get away from me."
She looks away and starts walking inside her house.
~~~
"Sam's pissed."
"What did Solar do?"
I see him stand up and walk back to our house.
"No idea."
Storm, who was on Vapor's shoulders, perked up.
"Solar was the one that created the wind."
Sometimes, she could have amazing hearing. Vapor hated it.
"What?"
"Yeah, he told Sam."
Me and Vapor look at each other.
"Hey... you go play with the other kids here."
While Storm was leaving, someone else came over.
"We were gone for like a day! What happened here?"
"Pheonix!"
She and her moms liked going on trips every so often. In any kingdom, town, beach, anywhere.
"Um... Solar might've created really powerful winds."
"He did this?"
She stepped back a little and looked at all the damage.
"What the hell? I'm going to make sure Maria's alright."
"Who's Maria?"
"I have no idea."
Pheonix was... Pheonix. She liked dating around. We all just found it funny at this point. And, who knows? Maybe she would find a good relationship in the process.
We started walking around, checking the damage.
"I can't believe Solar would do something like this."
I look down.
"I'm sure he just lost control."
"Maybe."
Vapor's parents see us and start running over.
"Oh, thank the gods. You're safe!"
Aunt Chelsy hugs him.
"We were worried. What happened?"
We exchange a look.
"Um... Aster got really hurt because of the wind."
"Oh crap, we should get to their house, shouldn't we?"
"Alright, you guys want to come with?"
We shrug and follow them. Sam probably needed someone to talk to.
I haven't uploaded in a while. Yikes.
