         Sara's canvas shoes hit the pavement hard as she turned the corner of the street. She could hear the footsteps of her pursuers behind by only a few feet. Sara quickly glanced around at her surroundings but found nothing of use as a weapon to defend herself.
'one…. Two… three…. Damn, to many for me to take out.' she groaned as she climbed up a chain linked fence about five feet high then land perfectly on her bottom.
"ow." she slowly got back up then ran as she heard her pursuers start to climb the fence behind her. She turned sharply around the corner, hopping over a bush, her lungs burning.
"damn it! I'm running out of options here." Sara yelled into the receiver of her cell phone that was at her ear. The footsteps got closer and closer to the point were Sara can almost see the shady guys faces and the weapons they had on hand. Some were small knives, some were metal pipes, and she could have sworn she had seen a dagger in one's hands, ready to throw.
"make it past the next street, we are ready." Roseia's voice responded in what sounded like an annoyed tone.
"I hope you guys are! I don't want to die by the things these guys are going to use!" Sara yelled back, panting, then she hung up.
"shit!" she yelled and ducked as the sharp dagger whistled above her head. "what did I ever do to you guys!? Sheesh!" Sara kept running, her legs ready to give out but the next street a few feet ahead of her. Night was falling, making the road hard to see, but Sara kept running forward. She didn't notice the black wire that was a few inches above the ground until she was already falling over it, doing a front flip and landing on her back, scraping her elbows.
"what the fu- ow!" Sara blinked, trying to breathe, the wind knocked out of her.
"I told you she wouldn't see it." Roseia walked out in front of Sara, arms crossed and eyes closed, the strange men stopping at the wire. Cyrus and Daniel ran out, one taking a side of Roseia, Alex ran out to help Sara up. The men were ranging in sizes and one took a step forward but he stopped. Roseia looked at the men, shook her head, and tapped one flip flopped foot on the pavement. The ground started to shake and crack. Daniel and Cyrus looked at each other then ran in opposite directions, Alex pulled Sara off into someone's front yard, Roseia perfectly still. A large circle began to form around the men made up of cracks in the street.
"bye bye Hunters." Roseia said with a cruel smile and took one step back as the ground under them began to fall in under them. Dust and dirt was thrown up into the air as their cut off shouts became muffled by the sound of falling rocks. Cyrus slowly looked over the hole as the air cleared and everything remained still..
"y-you didn't kill them did you?" he turned to Roseia, covering his mouth and nose from the debris in the air.
"of course not, idiot. We still have to interrogate them, find out how in the hell these idiots keep getting back onto the streets, attacking elements." Roseia shook her head and put a finger on her chin. "but I do think I have a small hunch."
Alex looked at Sara's scraped up elbows and forearms then pulls out a first aid kit from a bag hidden behind a bush. She coughed and breathed heavily. Daniel held out a bottle of water out to her.
"thanks" she gave him a weak smile and too the bottle, drinking as much as she could. Daniel stood behind her, watching Alex work, his nose scrunching up to the smell of blood.
"sorry, I forgot how sensitive animal elements noses are, I know you don't like the smell of blood." she looked down.

"on the contrary, we actually do like it, but it can send a real wild animal into a frenzy." Alex said calmly. "luckily we aren't like that." Daniel nodded in agreement.
"can I not the be the damsel in distress anymore? Sheesh, it hurts." Sara called out as Alex wrapped part of her forearm in some bandage wrap.
"why not? You definitely look the part." Daniel shrugged, looking down at her. Sara looked up at him with a slight glare.
"well you do a damn good job of hurting yourself, your the perfect bait!" Cyrus added as he walked up next to Daniel.
"why don't you put a dress on and do it!" Sara winced when Alex was cleaning the tip of her elbow of blood.
"wouldn't I look so fabulous?" Cyrus said sarcastically and tried to flip the hair that fell in his face up like a girl.
"you would look like an idiot in a dress." Daniel commented.
"shut up! I wasn't talking to you puppy boy." Cyrus rolled his eyes.
"whatever bolt boy." Daniel shook his head and walked off. Cyrus stuck his tongue out at Daniel before looking back at Sara.
"you can portray the part better than any of us can simply because you look weaker than us, you being a lot skinnier than any of us." Roseia added to the conversation.
"yeah yeah, get back to work." Sara pouted as she sat on the edge of the sidewalk as Alex took care of her wounds then he got up, putting the first aid kit back in his bag.
"well that should do it. I'm going to go help Daniel and Rose tie up the Hunters." Alex nodded then walked over to the two by the hole in the ground. Cyrus watched Alex walk away then looked down at Sara who was gazing down at the now dusty road in front of her. She still had a pouting face on but her eyes said otherwise.
"make up your mind yet?" he asked then squat down in front of her. Sara looked up at him for a minute then looked back down, shaking her head.
"no. I don't know what to do still, or even what to think at this point." she answered low enough for the others not to hear. Cyrus sighed and looked down at the ground. It was cracked somewhat from Roseia's lovely earth abilities.
"you'll figure it out. Alex and Daniel do look the same for the most part but they are two very different people. Alex is more talkative, polite, and nice. I can see what you see in him, but Daniel, I have no clue what you see in him."
Sara just sighed and rolled her eyes.
"well you don't have to be so crabby about it. You have all the time in the world." Cyrus pat the top of Sara's head and got up. Sara watched him walk away to the three that were pulling guys out of the hole and tying their hands behind their backs.
.'you have never talked to Daniel like I have. He's actually a really nice guy with a people problem.' Sara thought over in her head then sighed and stood up. It was already nighttime, the street lamps had flickered on, and they had one more thing to do before calling it a night. Sara shivered at the sudden drop in temperature as her body cooled down. She crossed her arms in some sort of means to keep warm and walked over to everyone else. It was time to turn in the bad guys and confront the guy who has been letting them out.

Sara walked in the police station with a serious face as the men and women acknowledged who she was. The hall was narrow, only two or three people could get in at one time, but she pressed on and past the several windows and white walled rooms. She walked up to the front desk and looked at the three men who stood up, one was the man behind the desk, his dark tan skin and dark eyes make him seem like he was always a warm person.
"another Hunter haul again there Sara?" he looked over to the six or so guys Daniel, Alex, and Cyrus brought in and sat on the chairs. They were all awake but were very reluctant to sit in a police station.
"well someone has to keep elements safe for once, no point on letting these killers loose on the streets. Hows the night going Juan?" She responded.
"these were the guys that got out a month ago." Roseia added, glancing around the white walled room, the desks cluttered, phones ringing.
"is that so? I don't know how they were able to escape the cells, there wasn't even anything on the cameras." the officer Juan scratched the back of his head.
"I can actually tell you how that happened and I know who did." Sara half smiled and started to walk down to the walkway that was made narrow thanks to the large open desks along the walls and in the center of the room. Most of them were cluttered with papers or files of people Sara could recognize as some of the Hunters they had caught. She glanced down at each officer at their desks but slowly came to a stop next to one. Juan, Daniel, and Roseia followed her closely, dodging the few officers that had joined. Sara looked down at one woman, her hair a dyed black color and eyes were almost as black as her pupils. She was heavy set like she had worked out daily but Sara knew she wasn't good, it was clear in in the woman's eyes. She looked up at Sara with a hard look. Sara simply smiled innocently but her eyes said a different story.
"Suzanna here, or should I say Megan, is actually a devoted member of the Hunters. One of her idiot comrades is sitting in the front as we speak." Sara spoke loudly on purpose and crossed her arms, still looking down at the woman at the desk. A few other officers had gathered around her desk slowly. The woman looked at Sara hard in the eyes.
"may I see your tattoo?" Sara held a hand out with a now smug smile on her face. The room went quiet for a moment then the woman stood up quickly, grabbing Sara's arm, twisting it till it was behind Sara's back, then she pulled a gun out, putting it against Sara's head.
"out of my way or I'll kill this freak!" She yelled. Many of the other officers' hands went strait to their gun belts. Daniel tensed, glaring at Suzanna, hands like claws at the ready. Roseia simply walked away and out of the whole building outside. One woman dropped her stack of papers and froze.
"now now, put the gun down Suzanna, there's no need for--"
"shut up!" Suzanna cut Juan off. The others started to back down when she twisted Sara's arm a little more and Sara yelped. Everyone backed away as she led herself, back towards the door, Sara tight in her grip.
"you aren't leaving his building I hope you know." Sara muttered, a smugness in her voice.
"you aren't the one who should be saying that, you little unnatural freak, I could kill you right now and not care." Suzanna spat almost in Sara's ear and pushed on her arm harder, making Sara flinch. She knocked over some loose papers off the side of someone's desk, pushing a coffee mug onto the floor, breaking the handle. The room was dead silent.
"too bad you can't. You'd loose your only option for distracting everyone so you can make run for it." Sara responded simply, sounding unafraid.
"well it seems like it's your lucky day then you brat." Suzanna mumbled and then threw Sara forward and turned to run for the doors. Daniel was already ahead of everyone and caught Sara before her head could slam into the corner of a desk. The woman pushed through the doors only to see Roseia standing there between the two bushes in front of the station.
"what the-" she was cut off when Roseia flicked her wrist and the woman was wrapped in glossy dark green vines that seemed to come from the bushes, her arms pinned to her sides, one wrapping around her mouth, the gun falling to the ground.
"sorry, mother nature decided to make sure you didn't hurt any of her children." Roseia crossed her arms. "your lucky I didn't use the thorns. I should have as payment for threatening one of my friends." Roseia smiled smugly. Two men came out and grabbed Suzanna, pulling her back into the front room of the police station.
Daniel helped Sara stand back up right on the tiled floor. She pat his shoulder with a smile then looked to the large struggling woman and shook her head.
"I told you that you weren't leaving this building, didn't I?" Sara said with a slight sarcastic frown. The woman just continued to glare at Sara as the two men walked her over to an interrogation room.
"how did you know?" Juan asked Sara as a few others continued to ask if she was okay and run to her side. Alex checked the top of her head and sighed when she was okay.
"one of her friends over there confessed it to us. She had talked to the group of them in a private room that was free of cameras, telling them she was a Hunter too, and even showed them her tattoo above her left breast. She left the cell doors unlocked one night and they had gotten out by simply overpowering the three officers that were on your Monday night shift." Roseia explained as she walked in the room, one hand under chin. "and now if you don't mind, we need to be heading back to our school. I have an English test tomorrow and I'd rather not be tired when I take it." she looked at the officer with an annoyed look. Sara shook her head and Daniel rolled his eyes.
"live a little girl!" Cyrus looked at her with a disbelieving look.
"I will when I decide to act like you and be a careless idiot when my life is set." she turned around, waving one hand, walking out of the building. Alex dropped his head.
"I'm not going to let you go alone Rose!" he said and ran off behind her.
"Man! What a night! I get chased, mess up my arms, used as a hostage by a psycho lady, almost killed, and turned some bad guys in." Sara stretched her arms as Cyrus, Daniel and her walked back to the school. Roseia and Alex had already started ahead, leaving Sara to do the paperwork.
"talk about damsel in distress, you seem to just walk into it." Cyrus commented with a smirk. Sara just shot him a slight glare before she shivered. Cyrus looked at her with one eyebrow raised.
"cold?"
"maybe." Sara answered with a sarcastic tone and rubbed her arms. "maybe just going in a tank top wasn't such a good idea."
"I thought you were going back to get one before we started."
"nah, I didn't think I'd need one honestly. I wasn't expecting it to last this long tonight." she looked ahead with a slight pouting look. Cyrus just shook his head. The three walked on for about five minutes before Sara flinched to something falling on her shoulders. She looked up and saw that Daniel had taken his jacket off and put it on her. Daniel glanced down once at her then walked ahead of her and Cyrus, alone. Sara blinked, lost in her thoughts for a minute, then slid her arms in the sleeves that were rolled back down. It was really big on her and the sleeves hung past her hands.
'huh, it's still warm.' she thought to herself, a light pink on her cheeks, then looked over to Cyrus who was watching her reaction.
"what?" she said instinctively.
"oh nothing! Just noticing things." Cyrus looked up at the dark night sky. A half moon shone it's faint light down on the world, Daniel becoming only slightly visible ahead, hands in his pockets.
"noticing what things?"
"oh, on how clear it is that he likes you and you like him." Cyrus shrugged. Sara stopped.
"wait-what?" she looked at Cyrus with a disbelieving look, her heart pounding, making her blush darker.
"you heard the truth girly, you may think we just punch each other, but we do talk to each other like civilized best friends will do. Trust me, I'm like a brother to you, he likes you. It's just up to you to do something, like making up your dang mind already!" Cyrus laughed. Sara threw a rock at him and it missed him by a long shot. He laughed harder and Sara ran after him, throwing things and yelling names at him. Cyrus just played along and ran ahead of her, having fun in the moonlight.
Sara laid down on her bed in the dark room she shared with a friend, to afraid to turn on the lights in fear of waking up her grumpy roommate, trying to be as quiet as she could be. It was hard trying to find your bed clothes and your bed for that matter in a cluttered dorm room that was pitch dark.
'what a day. So much happened that I cant seem to think straight! What to do about my guy dilemma? I like them both, not just because of the same looks, but because they are themselves. Alex is a nice guy, he's sweet, funny, and he can brighten almost anyone's day. He is also a good friend but so is Daniel. Sure he was a little intimidating but I knew that he was nicer than he seemed. He can be gentle, warm, and quite generous.' she sighed and curled up on her side, still wearing Daniel's jacket. I don't know. Mother, father, please guide me in the right direction. Please tell me I'm doing what's right and not just helplessly beating up innocent people.' She sighed. 'maybe I should call uncle Nick and cousin Aaron, maybe some living family could help me.' Sara thought last before closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep.
