Alice's POV

I ran out of the hallway as fast as I could, tears streaming down my eyes. I stumbled upon the school garden. I walked in and sat on the oak wood bench. I started to cry, but when I did a storm started.

Lighting, thunder, and strong winds surrounded the school, I didn't care, I just kept crying.

Small, thin vines, clamped onto my arm, they twisted themselves onto my forearm and intertwined between my fingers. They squeezed tightly making me feel safe and secure.

I looked up to Bella, she looked confused and worried, her eyes widened when she saw the vines around me.

"Alice! What happened back there? How'd you do that? Are you ok?" She sounded very worried.

"I'm fine, I just don't know what happened, I was mad when I saw he had your necklace, but I became enraged when he pushed you, I just, snapped." She reassured me with a warm smile.

"It's ok, I just was worried about you, that's all."

She pulled me in for a hug, Bella always knows what to do, she's amazing.

Aiden's POV

What the heck just happened? Alice just attacked that bully with plants, how? I sat down bewildered, I was astonished. I heard dead silence when Alice and Bella walked into the room.

Everyone looked at Alice like she was a freak. I felt bad for her, I was surprised when it happened, but I'm not going to act like she's a freak of nature. All eyes were on her, I saw tears welling up in her eyes,

without thinking I started dancing randomly to get the attention off of her. She smiled at me, then giggled. I finally saw it, her entire smile, it was breathtaking, so white and happy. I kept dancing, then Bella motioned for Alice to leave.

After they left I stopped dancing, by English class I was viral. I didn't care, I was just happy that Alice was ok. I don't know why, but I've started to care for her a lot more lately.

Bella's POV

That was really sweet of Aiden, it was hilarious but sweet. Alice has liked Aiden since elementary school, Aiden was always the cool kid that everyone wanted to hang out with. Alice was the shy girl that rarely talked, she basically lived in the library. But once you get to know her, she's an amazing person with a good heart and a wonderful sense of humor. She will always put your needs before hers. She is the definition of the best friend anyone could ask for. As we approached the library, Alice stopped, "Whats wrong?" I asked her. Horror filled her lavender eyes. Before us, stood a rather peculiar woman, her eyes were stone cold, and her face aged, her bony fingers clutched onto the clipboard she was holding. "Alice Hathaway!" She exclaimed. " I am Mrs. Aura, principal of Aurastorm Middle," Alice stood bewildered, "What? Who are you where did you come from?" Alice questioned, I stepped in front of her protectively. The woman stared at me. My straight dirty blond hair fell to my shoulders and my light blue crystal eyes filled with anticipation. I stood tall and said "I am Isabella-" The lady interrupted me, "Isabella Wishart," she said tapping her clipboard "Its pronounced wish heart" I corrected her.

Alice's POV

"Whats going on?" I asked You two, along with some others are being enrolled into Aurastorm Middle!" She exclaimed. " Its a magical middle school for special people, like yourselves. I looked over to Bella who was gleaming in anticipation, I could tell she wanted to go. She looked at me with longing in her eyes. "Please?" She begged. I finally gave in, "Fine," I said coolly. Mrs. Aura handed us a scroll with a scarlet ribbon and a light green jewel. I slowly opened the scroll to read it, then like lighting a green light flashed and I was standing in a forest, I looked around and I saw Bella, a reassuring smile crept across my face, as long as she was here, I would be fine. Mrs. Aura suddenly appeared, "Welcome to Aurastorm Middle!" She said excitingly. A huge oak tree was towering over us, she motioned us to walk into it. I was skeptical but Bella walked right in, I followed after her. I was standing in the middle of what seemed like a gigantic castle. Half was covered with leaves, vines, and other natural things, the other side was completely covered with technology, and a bunch of virtual and digital things, I glanced over there to my surprise, Aiden was there, he had powers, I was starstruck, that meant that Bella had powers too. In the natural side stood an oak, it was medium size, with an entryway in the middle of the bark. I walked in and it was breathtaking, all natural beds in flowers, it was like when the flower was closed and it hadn't bloomed yet. I walked up to it and a single petal fell down, it was like a drawbridge, once I stepped inside the petal closed, it was beautiful, there was a medium-sized moon pool in the corner surrounded by oceanic stuff, on the other side was fairy things, and my whole pod looked like it was decorated by the four elements of nature. I stepped outside, to see the dorm, it was so natural and green, with a table, and a little green kitchen and herbs and plants all around, there was a little fireplace with seats around it and a tv. Then I saw another entryway I walked in and I saw a cauldron, it looked like a gigantic witch hut, with multiple witches, I looked over and saw Bella, she was astonished by everything. Mrs. Aura called everybody to the main room. The main room was the place where the tech and nature met, we walked inside this golden arch and we were standing before a gigantic field. "Now, each person will step up to the platform and demonstrate their powers, first up Alice Hathaway," Oh no, that's me, why me? Why do I have to go first? I nervously shuffled up to the platform and stood there.

Bella's POV

Alice looked so nervous up there, everyone was staring at her, she closed her eyes and her hair levitated. She floated up into the air with a bright green beam following her, a gigantic wad of bright green energy blasted the entire field. The four elements of nature appeared and a jolt of green energy blasted out, she opened her eyes and they were lavender with green and blue, her hair had an aqua streak in it, and right below her eye in the corner a tiny vine plotted, she demonstrated every single power ever! She fell to the ground and fainted, Aiden and I rushed over to, "Alice! Alice!" Tears streaming down my eyes, I look over to Aiden, he's holding her hand with tears in his eyes, he's whispering to her "Come on, wake up Alice," I was confused, did he like Alice? Alice's eyes shot open and she started breathing heavily, I hugged her, I basically squeezed her, "Bella...need...air!" She managed to say, I loosened my grip, "Sorry I'm just happy you're ok"

Aiden's POV

I was so relieved when she woke up, after hugging Bella, she blushed. She realized I was holding her hand. "I'm glad you're ok," I said, I blushed, I don't know why, but I did. I felt a longing in me, I don't know why. She pulled me into a hug, "Thanks," she exclaimed. We let go of each other. Mrs. Aura called Alice to her office. I know I wasn't supposed to, but I hacked the surveillance camera in Mrs. Aura's office. Bella peeked over my shoulder to see the footage. "Ms. Hathaway, in all my years, I've never seen anything like your power before, its unique." She walked to her. "Ms. Hathaway, you are an element." Alice's eyes lit up in fear and confusion, ima what?" She questioned. "An element, a very rare power indeed, it gives the host every single power ever. In olden times, elements were considered freaks, and they were all killed, I am not going to turn you over to Magic Committee, only because I trust, you will use your powers wisely." Alice nodded, Mrs. Aura excused Alice from her office, I saw her walking on the field, so I turned off my iPad, he didn't need to know Bella and I was spying on her. "I'm an element," she said worriedly. I and Bella tried to act shocked. "WHAT?! REALLY?!" We both said at the same time with high pitched voices. She dragged us back to her dorm and told us what categories we were in. I was in Technology, and Bella was a witch. We were so happy, It was then and there I made a promise to myself and to Bella, we were never going to let the committee find out, and we were never going to let her get hurt or killed for her powers. We were her protectors, and nothing was going to change that.
