Chapter One

Chapter One

Setting foot on the beach I look in front of me, amazed at the mansion standing in front of me. It seems as if I woke up in a dream. The cool breeze blowing my blonde hair off of my shoulders. Closing my eyes, I soak in the wind, the smells, and the sounds of the island. I'm at peace until the cry of a child interrupts it. Running to where the cry came from there's a whole group of kids who seem to range from the ages of maybe ten and eighteen. The cry had come from a girl who looks to be about ten, a boy was holding up a blanket with a water sprite on it. "Hey back off jerk!" I rip the blanket away from a boy, who seems to be about sixteen.

"Or else what? You'll scream?" The taller boy taunts, angering me even more. A sly smile spreads across my face as I use my power to only very slightly shine it in his eyes. I hate nothing more than bullies. 

"Don't bully people." Is all I say to him while I survey the group around me. I look to the blue-haired girl who was being picked on. "So what's your name sweetie?" I ask looking down at her with my arms crossed over my chest.  The kid looks up at me and hugs me. I smile hugging her back.

"My name is Zarya Eaton." I freeze knowing that name. I look around at the others but my eyes land on a certain boy who causes me to blush when he meets my eyes. One of the other girls scoffs. The sound came from a girl with orange hair that reaches the middle of her back. My shoulder length blonde hair blows in the direction of the boy who had caught my attention the first time. I turn that way to him again but he's walking away. I let go of Zarya and follow him.  

The same girl who scoffed steps in front of me. "Don't bother, we've all tried to talk to him but it's no use, he just tells us all to fuck off. My name is Celosia Brenton." I meet her eyes and shake her hand. I take in her Amber eyes and see that she holds back a friendly, kind side to her.

"I'm Elora Argider. It's nice to meet you, now why don't we all go inside and meet each other, but first I'll go see if I can get mister 'fuck off' to open up and be less of an asshole." I state and she laughs and nods. Zarya takes my hand and the boy I stood up to earlier picks her up like a big brother would. Oh how quickly light can defeat darkness.

Chapter Two

~Lukius~

​I hear the group in the lounge so I put my headphones on and blast my music. I sense my door come open so I sit up to see the girl who just got here. Her shoulder length blonde hair almost shinning from the light that's coming in the window. I meet her eyes which are a striking hazel color. They hold a stern glow to them right now. My eyes fall down to her chest so I blush and look back up at her face. "Like what you see Lukius?" She asks leaning against the door frame. "Now why don't you come out and at least be civil." She states sternly. I'm still shocked that she knows my name. 

"I'd rather not." I slip my headphones back on and lay back down, pulling my covers up over me. She rips the blanket off me and takes the headphones out of my phone. "What the hell did you do that for?!" 

"You have a fucking dirty mouth and disrespectful attitude for someone who has the powers of light!" I jump up and walk towards her so fast she's pressed up against the wall but she isn't scared.

"Says the one who just swore at me." She glares at me and pushes me back. 

"I'm making dinner but you don't get any, my name is Elora Argider by the way." She walks out of my room slamming the door and leaving me shocked. She's the first girl to not get scared of my temper and she's the first one to leave me speechless.

Celosia

Elora comes out looking like she'd turn a light beam on you at any little word you say to her. I quietly go help her in the kitchen as she angrily gets out what food she is about to make. "God I swear he's coming out here no matter if I have to hog tie and drag him out here." I laugh and see a smile on her face. "I'll be right back Celosia, mind watching dinner?" 

"No go ahead and drag his but out here." Elora takes off literally grabbing a rope and duct tape. 

Elora

I push into Lukius's room and even though the door slams against the wall he doesn't move. He doesn't have headphones in....how in the world is it possible for someone to fall asleep that fast? I put the stuff down and walk over to his bedside. "Lukius?" I ask gently shaking his shoulder. He groans and rolls over. He opens one eye and smiles.

"Worried about me Argider? I put on my best serious face and stick my nose up.

"No, I was going to hog tie you and duct tape your mouth shut but you were asleep." Lukius laughs and I can't help but laugh myself. But as soon as we look at each other I feel an immense hatred towards him.

"What the hell?" Lukius took the words right out of my mouth. I shake my head and feel like crying because it's messing with my head. Without warning the tears win and Lukius wraps me in his arms and I cry into his shoulder. 

"What is this, I don't hate people who I've just met." I grip onto his shirt tightly as I feel myself pass out.

Lukius

I pick Elora up and place her on my bed covering her up with my blankets. "What happened?!" A boy asks standing in the door way. 

"I don't know some force is trying to keep Elora and I apart. Whatever or whoever this is makes us feel intense hatred towards each other every time we so much as glance at one another." I explain as she groans in her sleep. I decide to stay there until she wakes up. "Some one just put our dinners somewhere they'll stay reasonably warm please." I request quietly then brush the hair out of Elora's face.
