*Flash to January 13th*
My mum and I packed our bags for a long journey to America.. Two trains and a plane just to get to bloody america! We walked 4 miles from our small village home to the nearest train station which was called Patti's Train. It looked very sketchy for such fine young women like my mother and myself. The train to the the next train station was out of order so we sat and sat for what felt like hours on end when nearly 3 hours passed, we could hear the low rumble of a train on rickety tracks in the distance. " How much for two tickets to Gargubkels Train Station?" The crabby old women muttered a miserable "$14.72." To which my mother scoffed. And yet she still handed the women a bille fiche dollar. And for you pesky Americans that is $20 bucks, as you call it. Mother and I board the train waving the tickets at the conductor. He waves us on with a big friendly smile. I take off my Fur coat and set it in my lap as I sit on the hardly comfortable seats. "Mum how long will this train take?" She frowned. "Only an hour or 2 my dear sweet Aimee." As I waited I read the book, "Brooklyn" Written by Colm Tóibín. He was a famous irish writer in 2009. As it is 2023 now, I had wished myself to become a writer, or at least the author of a wonderful novel. Just one... But it seems Mum has other plans for me with these so called 'Water Alternating Powers'

I must have fallen asleep, for my mum had woken me when we arrived to our next stop. Gargubkels Train station. This train wouldn't be nearly as long since we were mearly seeing ourselves to the flighthouse. I went back to reading my book and playing old games such as eye-spy with my mum.
The plane had took off and landed in no time. 6 hours and 22 minutes isn't as long as you think it is when you marathon the Twilight movies.

A taxi cab drove us to St Martias School for the gifted. It was a gorgeous and huge brick building with bells and the pretty pearl gates I had ever seen. Each of the 4 fences appearred to be nature's orignial four elements. Air, water, fire, and nature. But each side walk had something unique to it. One was purple with a bit of every element. Another looked like Lighting bolts and lastly the third special walkway appears to me a bunch of small brains."Creepy" I said at the same time that my mum said "I think your gonna like it here." We laughed and I entered the tall glass doors. Looking up and around I spot a chandelier hanging from the ceiling which seems to be decorated as the elements as well. "Mum arent you coming in?" She shook her head no and showed how she wasn't allowed in for she no longer had her power.Mother earged her to keep going.
Holding Back tears Aimee entered."Hello. You must be Madalenna? Fire?" a women who appeared to be a front desk worker asked . I stifled my laugh. "It's the hair isn't it?" My red hair must have given the appearance that I had fire powers. "Nope I'm Aimee, and supposedly my power is water." The women smiled. " Ah yes! Professer Atticus told me about you." She turned behind herself and grabbed a set of keys. The women dangled them infront of Aimee's face. "Your in room 163." Aimee nodded with a big grin. "My names Caroline By the way." Caroline smiled."Nice to meet you!" Aimee said and she carried her bags to the main hallway to search for a elevator. Not spotting one right away she huffed up
5 flights of steps before she found her room. I puffed a huge breath and unlocked the door...
