"Ivy, wait!" He could feel his abilities beginning to dim. Not yet. "Please!"
One on One - Romance - So very cliche because I need it right now
She pressed her hands over her ears. "I swear, I think I'm going insane. I keep hearing voices!" She just kept walking, trying her best to not feel like she was going crazy.
He gruntef a little as ue sped a little faster. "Ivy!" He finally gave up on just his voice and flew up behind her, swooping her up in his arms.
She tensed up but relaxed when she noticed who had scooped her up. "Jackson? What are you doing out here, considering your state, it's dangerous."
"I'm fine. I mean, when I'm flying." He shifted yet in his arms a bit, still scanning for Amelia. "Once I touch the ground, I'll probably pass out."
"Jackson please. You should go back and rest, I'll look for Amelia. It's not safe for you to be out like this." Her eyes filled with worry and concern.
"I don't care about me. I need to find her." He couldn't, he wouldn't, just leave without finding her.
She sighed, it seemed like there was no convincing him. "Alright, fine. But you have to be quiet. The more you yell, the worse the forest gets."
"Fine. How are we supposed to find her then?" He didn't have time to wonder what was in the forest.
"Just wait." She snapped and the trees seemed to turn toward her. "Find the girl and bring her to me. Quickly!" They swayed in the breeze like a sort of nod and returned to normal, the wind kicking up slightly.
"What? What's wait, what did you do?" He was a little confused. More than a little.
"The second part of my powers. I can control the elements." She shrugged like it was no big deal.
"Whoa." He thought for a moment. The elements… "That's. Whoa."
"Yeah. Watch this." She twirled her finger at a small pile of leaves on the ground. The wind kicked up around it and it spun into a tornado before settling back down.
"That's amazing." He didn't think he'd ever seen anyone with that power before.
"Meh. It's kind of basic but whatever."
"I disagree." He continued to look around. "How will you know when they find her?"
"They'll bring her back. Just like I told them to. Don't worry, they won't hurt her. The bushes are very careful."
"Okay. Where do we go then? I can't just sit around and wait."
"You can go back home and rest. I can stay here and wait. There's nothing else we can really do but just wait."
"I- I can't. It's my sister! I'll wait with you."
The bushes rustled. "What? You found her?" They rustled again. "Oh thank God. Is she hurt?" More ruslting. "Oh no. How badly?" Rustle rustle. "Well that can be easily managed. At least it's not too bad. Please, bring her back."
"What? What happened? Is she hurt? They found her?"
"Calm down. She's been found and while she has a couple scraches from running through the bushes, they're shallow and can be easily taken care of." She smiled a little.
A flood of relief washed over him. "Thank goodness." He was so happy to know she was safe.
(Merry Christmas Eve by the way!)
(Merry Christmas Eve!)
And as if by magic, riding on top of the bushes, Amelia was gently set on her feet in front of them.
"Amelia!" He was about to set his own feet back down, but he quickly realized he couldn't. Not without completely passing out.
"See? I told you the bushes would be careful with her. I know the forest well." She smiled proudly.
"I didn't doubt it." He gently set her down. "I don't know if I can't carry both of you, but I can't touch the ground."
