CHAPTER 8

Disaster!

After that eventful night, everyone was very nice to her

Loralle was very suspicious, didn't they want to hurt her still, she herself had seen it on their faces that night

But, no one did, and it was the total opposite!

They tried to talk to her, but she put her guard up, and they casually walked away letting her be, only uess why they acted this way

It was very suspicious! And confusing! Honestly, she didn't know if she was more confused or suspicious

Three days later, she was sitting and exploring the metal pohen someone came up to her, ”Loralle, come n see”

She looked up to see the 'Boss' putting out his hand to her Staring at the hand, Loralle wondered what to do with it

He bent down and took her hand in his, and said, ”Ya said ya wanted ta see our special things, right?”

Uh?

Loralle couldn't remember that as she stared up at hiht of it, it was trueShe did want to see them! Did he perhapsRead her mind?

”Yes!” Curiosity was overwhel her already

He pulled at her hand and she got up to follow hiuessed his hand was actually to help her How nice!

Then, she noticed that the 'Boss' was still holding her hand

Uh?

She tried to pull her hand away, but he held it tighter Was there another reason he needed her hand? She suddenly reh the earth, they held hands tooWhat was the significance of it?

He suddenly turned to her and grabbed her waist with his other hand, saying, ”Dun be scared Come n hava look”

The sudden closeness made her stiffen up Uh?

Being touched by others was definitely so she wasn't used to She had no idea how to react, nor how to feel She had seen a little of others do the same butWhat does it actually mean!?

So s have happened lately

Ithe earth and air power to see people ain

Her thoughts made her a little sad, because, she had used it very little since leaving the Air Tribe She never went far in her visions and she didn't do it for long Loralle didn't want to see anything else that could be her fault and she didn't want to see anything that she didn't like

The 'Boss' squeezed her hand and continued walking, noticing her being quiet and looking sort of down

Loralle followed silently, as she heard a couple of whispers of jealousy and happiness for their 'Boss'

NothingLatelyMade any sense! Why are they happy for their 'Boss'? Why would they be jealous? All this totally confused Loralle and she wasn't sure how to act towards them or their words!

Maybe they were jealous because he really could read minds!? From that, Loralle understood their jealousy as she would like a power like that too!

Finally, they stopped and Loralle looked in front of her Her eyes beca her confusion, suspicionAnd other thoughts

The 'Boss' had been watching her expression and smiled, ”Ya like?”

She didn't look away from it, as she nodded her answer She wasn't even sure what it was, but it looked fantastic! ”Show!?”

”Haha, Very good! Boys, show oods!”

She watched as they set off and saw that light flashes started to fill the air They were soh their caves and she felt a slight pain run through her, even though she wasn't too close to it Actually what she saas that, it wasn't hard to get things working, but they seeer to have the end result Nonetheless, she continued to look enthusiastically at what it was in front of her!

It had soe, having one bit of each side stick out of its body and it looked like it could carry people in it

What was it!? What can it do!? Loralle wanted to start ju as she waited impatiently to see ould happen!

The 'Boss' laughed happily at her obvious curiosity and pulled her into his arms He put his mouth close to her ear and said, ”We wun it ta flyLike ya do!”

Lorallehow close he was because she was so fixated on this big object ”Fly?”

The 'Boss' only said, ”Mmm” As he took her ear lobe into his mouth

Feeling so weird, Loralle went to push it aith her hand, but it didn't stop

What? Is he doing so to me?

He stopped and before Loralle could feel better, she felt strange on her mouth instead!

Uh?

While this was going on, the others saw this and left their 'Boss' and Loralle in peace, leaving the two of them alone

Loralle ?”

Putting his hands up to caress her face, Loralle looked at hi about so her

If she wasn't wrong, what he had just done, was so a male and female did when they liked each other Wasn't it?

She had never really paid too much attention to this kind of behaviour, but now she sort of regretted it If she had watched more of it, she would have some kind of idea on how to act or be a little bit more informative about it

He sighed and took away his hands, ”I was told ya dun remember, but I sorta hoped ya would”

Loralle took a s too close to him ”What?” She asked, a little bit worried

He looked at her, then away, then sighed again

Putting a hand through his hair, he looked back at her, ”It's fineWanna try it out?”

Loralle sahat he meant and nodded happily

He got up, onto the metal base, and put out his hand to help her up

Loralle looked at it, again What was it he did last tiotten how this action had been responded to

”I'll help ya up, give me ya hand” He said patiently

Actually, the Boss was named Mitch and he honestly liked this crazy, little minx

Upon hearing that she could not re a few days to ain, he had come to the decision that he still liked her and wanted to be nice He wasn't normally so lenient, yet, he wasn't a monster either

But if this girl cun reether, then he'll et!

Loralle took his hand and felt a bit happy Not in a way Mitch would like, but she was happy because no one had helped her this way before Yet, another new experience for her, and she liked it!

After everything was organized, the big ht flashes and Loralle noticed some rocks or stones that sat around at the front It reht, in the e

Then, they lifted slowly into the air!

It was slow and looked like it wouldn't go very far, so, Lorallewind flow underneath the the air

Mitch laughed, ”I knew it! Haha, look, now it's workin!”

Loralle looked out to find that they were finally !

She slowly took away the wind and realized, that now, it wasn't needed ”Working! Working! Look! Look!”

Mitch laughed at her enthusiasht you'd give it a little help!”

Loralle looked at him and nodded happily

He watched her for an extra second before turning back around again

This woman is powerful, she's fun n she is interested in what I'm interested in Definitely someone I want ta keep by ma side

Mitch really was smittenBut Loralle had no idea!

”Air Look Air!”

They were now travelling over the Air Tribe and they both looked down upon it Mitch had looked at the Air Tribe when he was on ground, thoroughly, but being in the air was much better!

They stayed away froiant cyclone, that reached to the sky, and hovered around while Mitch got a better idea of how the Air Tribe worked or looked

”Look Houses, I made!”

Loralle's voice shocked Mitch, as he could see the houses Suddenly, he orried that she was actually an enemy! ”Ya from the Air Tribe?”

Seeing anger co from Mitch, Loralle was confused ”No I, from water”

His eyes shot up First he thought, great! She's not an enemy! But then, he questioned her words, ”Water?”

”Yes” Her voice was quiet and he had hardly heard her short answer

Mitch wondered what she meantWaterWhat? Tribe? Are there more tribes out there? ”Water Tribe?”

”Yes” She answered like before

Mitch overlooked her quietness because he couldn't believe the news, ”There's more tribes?!”

Loralle sighed, ”Yes”

He turned to her, ”Show o n see!”

She didn't want too! They wereShe really didn't want to!

”Tell me! Which way?”

Loralle pointed in the direction of the Water Tribe village hesitantly, and said, ”Far”

Silence had filled the air, as they went into the direction that Loralle had pointed

Mitch was excited! He had people go out into this barren, desolate wasteland, so! But nowHe knew there was so else out there! A Water Tribe! He wondered how they had survived so far awayOr are they flourishi+ng because they weren't at war?

Mitch couldn't wait!

And the silence continued as hours went by, as did the view of the barren, desolate wasteland

When the land in the distance started to change, Mitch got excited again His enthusiase wondered if Loralle had lied But now, as they went through the air at a good speed, they could see a change within the day

Loralle kneould take a long ti there, she had air to go behind theave hiry, but she had stayed silent, feelingcloser and closer to their destination

What she hadn't expected was that it only took hoursNot days The machine hadn't looked very fast, but she started to think that it was faster then what she had originally thought, then adding her air power, it ht was fast in the past Her thoughts on thenificent!

But, as she wanted to appreciate this a object and power further, she looked towards the Water Tribe village and her eyes filled with horror!

It was a devastating sight!

Magma had over taken the lakes and she finally saith her own eyes, the trench of e volcano

”Ah!” She let out a cry

Mitch turned after he heard her cry, but she was no longer behind him

Turning around, he watched her fly down herself in a hurry

He followed her and went to land in a safe spot, before getting out
