The 4 Elements by Mistflower the Warrior Cat (book club reads .TXT) 📕

“Guys!” shouted Flame, “We can't just give up! We need to keep on moving!”

“Wait!” said Jane, holding my arm. I noticed that I was still bleeding, badly.

“We have to get to the river, I'll heal you.” directed Jane. I put my arm around her neck and she helped me to the river bank. She bent down and touched the water. It was just so magical. She then touch my side where I got cut. Water started running up her arm and went to her other arm that led to my side. It was healing so quickly!

“There. Done.” she concluded. I looked at her with a shy grin.

“Thanks. It feels much better.” I said.

“No big, that's what friends are for.”

“You will forever be my best friend.” I concluded. After that, we headed back to the other girls.

When we got back, the gang found some clues.

“Looks like this guy is a highly trained ninja...” admitted Flame after picking up a piece of paper. The paper was an advertisement, for a top secret ninja school. It had a picture of a 3 ninjas all doing a fighting pose. The title was 'Sensei Lotus's Ninja School' and had a subtitle of 'Do you have the skills to make it?'. We looked at each other.

“This guy is from a highly trained ninja school?! Weird...” criticized Natalie.

“Girls, we need to get to that ninja school and get that necklace. We don't want any ninja school to control the 'unspeakable power'.” snapped Flame.

“What is the 'unspeakable power'?” I asked. I was a very curious girl, but not too curious. Flame sighed and sat down.

“I'll tell you the story after we make camp, it's getting dark.” directed Flame. We nodded and split up. Jane went to get the water with Lavender (from our previous trip, Lavender is a Dark Phoenix), Natalie went hunting, Flame went to get the firewood and me, I just stayed there to be on look out. I sighed and looked at the trees above me.

"Why do I always get the weird job?" I said to myself. It was very boring. I sat down and started to meditate. I felt the wind blow my hair, the sound of birds, everything went slow. It was peaceful and quiet, in a good way. Then, I noticed I couldn't feel the ground. Was I floating? I opened my eyes and found myself lying on the ground. Man, was I dizzy.

"What happened?" I mumbled rubbing my head. Lavender flew over and watched me rub my head.
 I looked at him and smiled (Yes, Lavender is a guy). In his talons, he was holding some berries.

“Thanks boy!” I said while patting him on the head. I looked at the trees and wondered what the unspeakable power was... Suddenly, I heard a rustle. It came closer, and closer. I started to hear heavy breathing. It was getting closer. A drop of sweat went down my face. My heart started pounding.

“Demons...” I thought. I wasn't that good at fighting, and I wasn't going to get any better. I got my ring ready and looked at Lavender. He didn't like that sound at all. He got his wings ready to fly and stood there. I looked around myself and froze.

"Should I disappear into mist?!" I panicked. Suddenly, a black figure came towards me and snatched my weapon. I was weaponless. I jumped up and flew into the air. I dived down towards the demon and punched it. The demon scowled at me and dodged. It started to circle me, faster and faster. I picked up my ring and threw it (like a Frisbee or Boomerang) towards the demon. It cried in pain and disappeared into black smoke.

“It's dead...” I whispered to myself, “It's dead...”

We sat around the fire, but no one believed me that I killed a demon.

“Demons usually attack in groups.” explained Flame.

“And plus, why would they want to attack you? You're completely weak!” giggled Natalie. I looked down as a stream of tears came down my cheek. Maybe it was just a mirage.

“How about you tell us the story about the Unspeakable Power, Flame.” suggested Jane after seeing the tears slowly make their way down.

“Alright, but I'm telling ya, if it sounds weird, it's not my fault.” warned Flame.

“Weird?! How would you know the story if you didn't invent it?” joked Natalie.

“I saw it in a scroll in Shi Fu's drawer one day...” admitted Flame.

“Didn't Shi Fu tell us not to go into his room unless we were told to?” I asked.

“This remains between the four of us...” suggested Jane as she giggled.

“Anyway, the prophecy foretells that when the four great element holders,” started Flame.

“That's us!” interrupted Natalie.

“Ahem, when the four great element holder find their inner peace/self or lesson or meaning, they will receive a signal and that is when the unspeakable power will be unleashed.”

“What is the unspeakable power?” I questionned.

“It's unspeakable, what do you think?!” snapped Natalie.

“But it's gotta have some sort of description, like, a consequence to the power.” I argued.

“The prophecy included one part that, the power is neither good and neither bad. But it depends on who activated it.” added Flame. We all sat there in silence, not knowing what to say.

"Well, that's enough weird stories for one day!" Natalie concluded as she broke the silence.

“We better get to sleep.” yawned Jane as she melted into water and into the river. Flame yawned and so did Natalie.

"Yawning is contagious..." Flame said slowly as she went to sleep. I was left there, alone. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

The next morning, I found myself in a tree.

“What the...” I muttered. The rest of the gang were staring at me in disbelief.

“How did you get up there?!” exclaimed Jane. I shrugged and climbed down.

“Sleep climbing?” giggled Natalie.

“We don't have time for this, we need to find a way to get in the ninja school!” reminded Flame.

“We can go undercover.” I suggested.

“Good idea, Liz.” agreed Jane.

“Let's get to the a nearby village to get some ninja clothing.” Flame added.

“There is no nearby village, it was destroyed a couple years ago.” argued Natalie. We were stumped.

“Maybe the ninja school gives out uniforms.” I suggested.

“But how can we get the uniforms if we're not invited?” pointed out Flame.

“I just remembered!” jumped Jane as she pulled something from her backpack, “I got these from Shi Fu, he told me it was his brother's student's uniform.”

“You could have said that earlier...” scowled Natalie. From the bag were one white ninja suit, one black ninja suit, one gray ninja suite and one pink ninja suit. The rest of the gang reached for the black, white and gray suite. I was left with the pink one.

“Good luck with that one...” smirked Natalie. I shrugged and put it on. It was a bit big but it fits. Jane put on the white one, Flame put on the gray one and Natalie put on the black one.

“This material is uncomfortable!” complained Jane.

“Let's just get to the secret ninja school before dark.” suggested Flame. And the four ninjas were off, but it's quite awkward why one ninja would wear a pink suite...

The sun was high in the sky and I was starting to sweat in my uniform.

"That's why I didn't want to become a ninja..." sighed Natalie as she pulled off her mask.

"You're the one who chose the colour black! It's unwise to chose a colour that absorbs light on a hot sunny day." explained Flame as we climbed a mountain. The air was getting thinner and thinner. But that didn't affect me. I was fine. Natalie was dying!

"Not my fault! It's better than pink!" she shouted. They all stopped and looked at me.

"It's better than nothing!" I complained back. They giggled and kept on climbing. I looked behind me and saw the landscape. It was amazing... The breeze came and it danced past me. Some tiny little green leaves followed and swayed with the wind. I imagined myself as one of the leaves, flying...

"Hurry up Liz!" exclaimed Flame from above. I saw the others way ahead of me.

"Coming!" I cried back. I was getting tired though. I smiled and created a cloud and sat on it. I thought of flying and the cloud levitated. As I passed the other three girls, I waved with a big smile.

"Cheaters..." groaned Natalie. She sighed and started climbing to the top, except faster. It was her strength. She possessed the element of earth. As she smiled at me when she passed me, I smiled back. I clapped my hands and the cloud levitated faster and higher. Natalie scowled and started climbing even faster. I started to get annoyed. So that's how you wanna play... I clapped my hands again and the cloud went higher and higher, faster and faster. This went on for about five minutes... We got to the top at the same time and sat there, exhausted.

"I still won!" panted Natalie with her remaining breath. I shook my head.

"Don't use all of your energy so fast!" I giggled. She smiled and got up.

"Who said I used all of my energy?" she asked sarcastically.

"You sure look like it!"

"At least I'm not as lazy as you!"

"Because I know how to use my energy wisely" I sighed with relief. From behind us came Jane and Flame.

"Don't go so fast!" suggested Jane.

"No time to talk, let's go!" ordered Flame. She held the medallion in the sky and the top sign glowed. She ran in the direction and looked at us.

"We're coming!" I shouted and started to follow her.

As we ran and ran, I noticed that we were in a forest by now.

"This is when black comes in handy..." reminded Natalie, "And when pink is not!"

"Will you keep it quiet?! We're almost there!" warned Flame. She stopped all of a sudden.

"What gives?" asked Jane.

"We're here..." she murmured, "Hide!" We duck down and waited. As we approached the ninja school, I saw a huge building. It was completely unguarded.

“That's weird...” mumbled Jane under her white mask.

“I was expecting high security...” added Natalie as she shrugged. She turned around ready to leave when Flame caught her shirt.

“Have your forgotten?! This is a ninja school!” whispered Flame harshly as she pulled Natalie back.

“Right, I knew that...” replied Natalie. I
