They continued to walk for a few days. They still hadn't found any suitable place to make their temporary headquarters. Randolph tripped over a rock and fell into Liam.

"Ouch! You shocked me," said Liam rubbing his shoulder.

"Sorry," replied Randolph.

"Ugh I feel like I could blow up any minute," said Mercy frowning. Suddenly they heard a voice coming toward them saying,

"Sorry. I tend to leave a shocking effect on people." It was a man. He had black hair with yellow tips and yellow eyes which told them that he was an elemental with electricity as his power.

"I am Ethan. I saw you guys coming and I could tell by your hair that you guys were elementals just like me so I thought I could join your group and help in whatever you guys are doing," said Ethan.

"Nice to meet you, Ethan. I am Randolph," said Randolph. Ethan shook his hand and said,

"Nice to meet you too." Randolph could feel the electricity surround him and his hair fill with static. Randolph licked his hand then patted his hair, taking the static away.

"And who are you?" Ethan said walking over to Mercy.

"I am Mercy," she replied in a annoyed voice. This guys was too friendly for her taste. Ethan kissed her hand. The electricity flowed through to her hair then her red tips of her hair bursted into flames. She quickly pulled her hand away which put the fire out in her hair and said,

"Get away from me you creep." Ethan brushed off the insult and said,

"That was cool how your hair did that." Wayne walked over to him and said,

" Hi. I am Wayne and if I were you I would listen to Mercy and get away from her. The last thing you want to do is make her mad."

"It's is nice to meet you Wayne and I think you are right," replied Ethan shaking Wayne's hand.

"This is Liam and Tarah," said Wayne. Ethan shook Liam's hand and kissed Tarah's hand, "And that is Kristopher. Probably don't want to shake his hand he might hurt you." Kristopher turned to Wayne and smiled in agreement.

"I wouldn't hurt him unless he got on my nerves," said Kristopher. Wayne laughed slightly because he knew Ethan would most likely get on Kristopher's nerves.

"So I am guessing Tarah has earth powers, Liam has air powers, Mercy has fire powers, Randolph has metal, you, Wayne, have water powers, and you, Kristopher have ice powers. Am I right?" Ethan asked.

"Yep. And you are electricity," replied Wayne.

"Yep," said Ethan, "So what are you guys doing out here?"

"We are running from the Government," said Randolph.

"I didn't know the Government was after us elementals," replied Ethan in a concerned voice.

"Yeah and if you join us you will be hunted just like we are," said Tarah.

"I know but the Government needs to know once and for all who they are messing with. We are elementals. We don't run from a fight, we start the fight, and if they want a fight they will get it. We need to find more elementals and I say we fight back," said Ethan with words that brought confidence to everyone.

"Ethan is right. We need to quite running and fight back," replied Randolph

"Ethan do you know where we can find more elementals?" Liam asked.

"No, but I am sure they will show up sometime down the road," said Ethan.

"Well we can't go walking now it's too dark. I say we rest here and head out tomorrow and look for others," suggested Kristopher.

"Kristopher is right we shouldn't be walking around at night," said Wayne.

"I will take first watch then," said Randolph. So, they all eat a small bit of supper then went to bed while Randolph took the first watch.

After first watch was over Randolph woke up Wayne and told him it was his turn to take the watch. Wayne looked around to survey the area. There was a lake to his left, a forest behind him, a volcano to his right, and an open plain in front of him. This would be a great place to make their headquarters. All they needed was supplies to build a house fit for everyone. While in thought Wayne felt a tap on his shoulder. It was Ethan.

"Having trouble sleeping?" Wayne asked.

"Yeah a little bit some of it is just because I have some much energy in me," replied Ethan.

"Yeah that must be hard for you," whispered Wayne.

"Not really. I normally run most of my energy out so I can sleep. I just didn't get that done today," whisper Ethan, "I don't mean to be noise but normally most elementals have a sad back story. Do you have one?"

"Yeah," whispered Wayne.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Ethan asked slightly curious.

"Not really but I guess I must face the past again," Wayne said in a sad tone of voice. Ethan sat down beside him ready to listen to him.

"I was abused as a child. My father did drugs. My mother worked as a striper. They met at the night club where my mother worked. My father took her to his home and made love to her. She then conceived me. They agreed that they would marry and take care of me if my father would stop doing drugs and my mother would quit her job. So, they did. After I was born things seemed to be going great for me until one day my father found out that my mother was back at her old job and my mother had found out that my father was doing drugs again. A few day later they got a divorce. I was five when this happened. So, I spent my time going back and forth from my father's house and my mother's house until the day came when my father got custody of me. Things were okay until my father started beating me. He beat me until I was about thirteen. I know something wasn't right with me. Water always seemed to make me feel better and not like a normal better it was more than that. I was taking a shower when my father came in angry at one of his friends for doing something. He pulled back the curtain went to hit me in the face. When I put my hands up to block my face water came up cause his hands to hit a wall of water. He was shocked. I took that to an advantage and flooded him with water. He fell out into the living room. I quickly got dressed and left as fast as I could. I found a lake. That was my real family. They never tried to hurt me and if they did they would say sorry and would help me learn how to keep it from happening again. They loved me and they taught me how to love and care for other as well as progressing my vocabulary and everything you would learn in school," Wayne explained as a tear fell down his face.

"Wow I am sorry you had to live like that m-," Ethan started to say but was cut off by Wayne who said,

"Shh. I hear something." Wayne looked around and saw a small light in the distance coming from the plain area.

"It's the Government. Quickly wake everyone up. We are going to fight them," said Wayne with confidence. Ethan nodded and went over to wake up the others.
