To the side Callum >>>>>>>>>>>

Tiffany's POV:
"Tyler!! I did it! I did it!" I yell as Tyler sits on the bench reading a book. He looks up and smiles as he see's a bubble made of water floating in the air. "Can you believe it? I thought this was impossible but apparently the Elementaret can do it." I say in a cheerful tone and he shakes his head,
"The Elementaret. Element-art-et, it's a tongue twister, but you'll get it right eventually." He says going back to his book.
"Element-art-et. Element-artet. Elementaret." I say practicing the word on the top of my tongue, it is a tongue twister.
"What's going on here?" I groan at hearing his voice, although I knew he was coming down soon.
"What do you think Conaway?"
"Well from what I can see you're doing more talking than training. I bet you can't even lift the water yet." He says sternly, I roll my eyes.
"I've been out here for at least five hours straight and you think I can't lift the water, you're actually doubting I can do it. What are we betting on Conaway?"
"Hmm, let's see... I'll give you money to go shopping with."
"You have a deal." I smirk walking towards the pond and starting.
I concentrate on the water, focusing on it lifting. Tyler taught me that. As I start to focus a small amount of water from the pond lifts up starting to shape into a large bubble, like a balloon. As soon as it reaches five inches up in the air, I hold my hands up to stop it from moving.
I turn my head over my shoulder to see Kyle looking impressed.
"Hm, doubting me now Conaway?" I say with a smirk, he just rolls his eyes.
"Little-T you have really improved. Now how about that reward I was telling you about earlier?" Tyler asks and I smile,
"Sure thing Ty." I say dropping the water back into the pond, some water splashes on Kyle, making me giggle. Then I go to Tyler who is already standing and I put my arm around his and start to walk back to the house.
"Tyler." Kyle grinds out and glares at his brother.
"Go, I'll meet you in the house. Sandwiches are in the fridge." He tells me and I nod and turn to Kyle with a glare,
"I don't know what crawled up your ass and died, but a little advice... lighten up a bit. You're a jerk and now your a total ass to your brother who did nothing wrong. Jeez, no wonder why you don't have a girlfriend."
Tyler looks amused and Kyle just looks damn right pissed off. With that I walk off leaving the two guys staring after me.
"Tiff, mind your own business. You know nothing about me or anything to do with our family. Just go." Kyle yells after me, I laugh coldly at that.
"On my way Conaway. On my way." I yell over my shoulder and run in the house.
I grab a pizza sandwich from the fridge and then I head for the door. Kyle wants to be an ass let him, I'm not sticking around to watch him make a fool of himself. I take an angry bite out of my sandwich which makes me pause and take in the deliciousness of the sandwich. This food can turn me from angry to happy within a second. I let out a breath and continue for the front door. As soon as I'm out front I take in what the house looks like and the number, just in case I forget how to get back, then I take off to some place I can be away from Kyle and his bipolar behaviour.
At least twenty minutes later I end up by a few stores, a pizzeria, a beauty salon and a few other small shops. I walk past, I do notice a few guys are checking me out but then I look down to see my jacket open, so my crop top and my flat stomach is on show. I close the zipper so the guys stop being pervs but they still look at me. My short blonde hair was put up in a high pony tail and I'm sweating like a pig. Most definitely not attractive.
"Hey!" I hear someone yell, "Blondie!" I look around to see the only blonde here is me. I turn around and come face to face with a really attractive guy. He has chocolate brown hair with brown eyes. He was also wearing a white shirt with dark jeans with a black leather jacket. He towers over me easily by at least four inches. Very drool worthy, I can tell you that.
"Are you Tiffany?"
My eyes widen and I take a step back, "How do you know my name? Are you like psychic or something?"
"No, but I can tell you that Tyler told me if I saw a girl with blonde hair with a blue Nike outfit on to go after her." He says with a sly smirk,
"Oh, so your friends with Tyler. Ok, well I was just on my way so-"
"Want me to show you around?" He asks with a shrug, leaving no room for an answer. He puts his arm through mine and pulls me along,
"Do you mind?" I say, pulling my arm from him. "What's your name anyways?"
"Callum. Callum Novia. So what's a pretty girl like you doing here all on her own?"
"Pretty? You think I'm pretty when I'm covered in sweat? That's a first." I say wiping my hand over my forehead.
"It doesn't matter. Your pretty, deal with it. Anyways, do you even know where you are? Or how to get back?"
I guiltily stare down at my feet. "I have no idea where I am, I just needed to get away."
"Oh. So you're getting away from Kyle. Yea, I'd give you advice and tell you to keep your distance from him." How'd he know? And it's too late for that, I have to live with the guy. "Not really boyfriend material that one." I snap my head to his, eyes wide.
"Boyfriend." I laugh a dry laugh, "You think I have a crush on him. Hah, never. No way."
"Oh, I'm just saying." Callum says, I laugh lightly.
"Right. Well if you could be my saviour and take me some place I'll love, that'll be great." I say jokingly and he smirks,
"That can be arranged." He says seductively with a wink and I gasp,
"I didn't mean the dirty version."
"Tiffany, you are very entertaining. Let's go babe." He says, pulling on my wrist lightly and tugging me along with him.
"Don't call me babe! And where are we going Cal?" That slips out my mouth before I even think, "I mean Call-"
"No, I'd prefer it if you call me that actually. By the way, you're just going to have to wait and see."
With that I let the guy tug me to wherever he's taking me.
We come to a sudden stop and I look around to see we're at some kind of fair. Tyler did mention something about that. As I look around I see different stands and bright coloured rides.
"Ok, we're here!" Callum exclaims with a smile,
"How do you know that I love the fair?" I ask and he laughs lightly,
"I don't. Took a guess. Come on, I really want to go in the haunted house."
My eyes wide, I gulp. "H-haunted house?" I ask stuttering a bit.
"What? Is Tiffany scared of the haunted house?" He asks me and I glare,
"If I can handle a scary movie-" Which I can by the way, "I sure as hell can handle a haunted house that isn't even real." I say taking a step forward but Callum grabs hold of my wrist,
"What you think the haunted house is fake?" He chuckles, "It's real. That's why the fair is hosted here, the haunted house-" He points to an actual house, making my eyes widen, "is real. Our town takes these things very seriously."
He better be joking.
"Nope, not joking." He says, wait did I just say that out loud.
"Let's go to the haunted house then. I'm not scared, I could use a good scare actually." I say pulling him forward this time.
I guess you could say I'm not the very best liar, but to a stranger I don't really know he probably can't even tell.
By time we reach the haunted house, Callum pays for the tickets and we enter. I let out a scream as I feel something touch my back and turn around to see Callum chuckling, he shakes his head with a smirk,
"Knew you were lying." He smirks and I glare at him,
"Damn you. Just lets hurry and get out of here."
Throughout this whole haunted house, I've been terrified. No don't get me wrong, I love a good horror movie but when I'm in one it's not pretty. We are currently walking through the hallway and then out of no where a skeleton falls in front of me, making me let out a scream.
"It's ok Tiffany." Callum try's to calm me down but it doesn't. I just nod, and stay close by his side.
For the rest of the tour through the haunted house, things fall from the roof, fake blood squirts out from somewhere and old picture frames are hanging on the wall with black and white pictures in them, one of them is of a lady with long hair in it. People dressed up as random costumes chasing people around. I'm starting to think what Callum told me was a big fat lie just to scare me. When we reach the back door I let out a really loud scream. The lady from the photo pops up in front of me with blood stains on her clothes.
"No need to be scared young one, it's just blood." She says and that's when I run for the door and reaching the sunlight.
"You did a good job Caroline." Callum pats the lady's back and I stare at the two and glare at Callum.
"You have fun?" Callum asks me and I keep glaring,
"Is this haunted house real or is do you just tell girls that so they can jump in your arms?" I snap and he smirks,
"So you figured."
"You're a jerk."
"Figured that too."
"Whatever, I'm heading back to the Conaway's." With that I go to walk until Callum talks.
"Are you sure you know how to get back?" He smirks and I roll my eyes. "Thought so. Let's get some fairy floss an-"
"How about you take me back to the house. I don't have a sweet tooth right now and I really need a shower."
"Or we can do that."
So half an hour later we are back at the Conaway's house and I walk through the door and straight to my room,
"Little-T!" Tyler calls up,
"In my room!" I call back and then I hear another door open,
"Hey Ty! Good to see ya." Callum greets Tyler and I don't bother with it.
I just head upstairs heading straight for the shower. I lock the door behind me, stripping down to nothing and turning on the hot water, turning the knobs so the water adjusts to warm. I don't know how long I'm standing in the shower for but I start feeling light headed as black dots take over my vision. I turn the water off and step out. That's the last thing I remember cause then before I know it my vision is taken over by the darkness.
Kyle's POV:
What is Tyler's motive? Is he trying to attempt to impress Tiffany with his cooking skills? She is only here for one reason and one reason only, to train and learn how to use the Elementaret. I can only tell my brother so much, but then again he looks interested... in her.
As for Tiffany, she is completely oblivious to the fact that Tyler is trying to impress her. Anyways she learn't the first element which is water, she still has lots to learn of that element but she lifted it.
I walk into the kitchen to see what was for dinner and see that Tyler is sitting at the table chatting away with Callum.
"Kyle! Hey!"
"Callum." I greet flatly, looking between the two until Callum speaks up again.
"Tiffany is really funny you know. She actually believed the haunted house was real."
Tiffany actually believed that. Gullible. Wait, haunted house. Oh so she was with Callum these last two hours, right.
"Well she is a very lovely girl. And she's started training, and passed the first test."
"I never said she passed." I tell them and Tyler smiles at me almost mocking me,
"No, I did. And either way, she did as you asked her and completed the task at hand." Tyler tells me and I just shake my head.
"Yea, whatever. Where is she anyways?" I ask and Tyler moves his head towards the stairs.
"Her room. I think she went to have a shower. She must love long shower's, she's been up there for a while." Tyler says and I raise a brow,
"Right." I say flatly and walk past them and up the stairs.
When I enter her room, it's awfully quiet. She wasn't in her room and the bathroom door was closed so I knock on it.
"Tiff!" I don't get a reply,
"Tiff!!" I call again urgency in my tone, all I get back is silence.
I bang on the door a few more time and call out to her but get no reply. Which isn't always good. I bang on the door once more and still getting nothing but silence, I use my foot and kick the door in to find her unconscious naked body on the floor. I try my best and not look at her, although all I could see was her back and butt cheeks.
"Tiff." I run over to her body and put two finger on her neck to find her pulse, which there is one luckily. This isn't a good sign though, this just means the elementaret is wanting to consume her faster than I thought. If she doesn't learn how to control her power soon she will be consumed and killed.
I grab a towel from the folded stack and throw it over her body, I pick her up, making sure to close my eyes and throw the ends of the towel on her parts that she obviously doesn't want me to see and carry her into the bedroom placing her on the bed.
I quickly go into my sister's drawer where she left a packet of brand new Bonds underwear and put them on Tiffany, looking anywhere but her body. Once that is done I cover her with the quilt and tuck her in the covers. Leaving her to rest for a bit I leave her room, keeping her door ajar.
As soon as I reach the stairs I see Tyler coming up with Callum behind.
"What happened? Is everything ok? We heard you yelling." Tyler asks me in a rush and I shake my head,
"She's unconscious. The Elementaret is consuming her faster then it should." I tell them, you see Callum is also part of 'The Protectors' so he has to know.
"That's not a good sign. Did she hit her head? If she passed out while she was in the room, she could have hit it on something." Callum says and my eyes widen,
"No, I haven't checked yet." I tell them, Tyler shakes his head and walks in the room,
"Is there anything we can do to stop this from happening?" Callum asks me,
"All we can do for her is get her to train more. Get her to learn all the elements. This is happening to fast though, she's not even eighteen yet."
"Well it's the least you could do. Being a jerk also never really helps." Callum tells me and I glare,
"What did she tell you?"
"It's not that important. Either way-"
"We got bigger problems." Tyler says quickly.
