The 4 Elements by Mistflower the Warrior Cat (easy novels to read .txt) 📕

I was getting ready to draw my sword, and the rustling stopped. It all went silent. It was safe to sleep. I put out the fire and melted into water. Sleeping in the river bed is probably safer. I thought of Carl and my friends. I would miss them. That will never change me. Ever. I started to think of the day I would return and see Carl again. We would be so happy. Very happy. That night, I had a dream. Some say the dream watchers will come down to warn you or tell you the future. Dream watchers are spirits that warn you and can tell the future. And each dream they give you has a meaning. I in the middle of nowhere, sitting on a rock. I saw a reflection of me and 3 other people. They looked the same age as me. Two of them were smiling, but one looked ill. “Jane, Jane! Help me!” she whispered trying to scream. The other two who were perfectly fine were staring at me. One of them looked wise. The other had a pony tail. The one with the pony tail seemed nicer. That's when I woke up. I didn't understand what had happened. Was I just demon possessed? That's impossible. But there I was, sitting in the middle of the water, deep in. Fishes were swimming around me. An otter looked at me and swam away. I can breathe underwater like a fish, swim faster than a dolphin and yet, be dry. I can also walk, stand and run on water. It's just the awesome part of being a element holder. I got out and packed my items. I can also raise water, make a whirl pool and shoot water at enemies. But I only do that when the village has it's annual water fight. It's the best time of the year! Teams would come up with a name and they'd just blast themselves with water balloons. The winning team gets a trophy. I've won it may times. I always partner up with Lucy and Bella, my best friends. Lucy has blue eyes and blond hair. She is very funny but not much of a talker. Bella loves to talk and complain. She wonders a lot and she's very curious. Bella is fourteen years old and Lucy is sixteen. I really wish they'd come with with me. But like they say, learn from the past, live for the present and prepare for the future.

As I reached the deep dark parts of the woods, I started to hear growling and howling. I stopped and froze. I slowly looked up and saw an owl. A Wishing Owl. Wishing Owls are found flying through the trees and forests, seeking for prey and wishes to eat up. I stared at it and smiled.
"Boo." I said softly. The Wishing Owl looked down and gave me a weird look.

"Who?" it replied. I was surprised to see that it didn't fly away.

"Jane." I answered. The Wishing Owl looked away and flew. Suddenly, I heard a low growl from around me. I looked around and saw nothing. All of a sudden, a flash of darkness dashed passed me, giving me a bad scratch on my arm.

"Great, I just got that arm healed a couple days ago!" I complained. But it was no time to complain, the mysterious thing striked again, but missed. I stepped back and got my sword ready. The figure seemed to have red eyes, sharp white teeth and deadly claws. Finally, the monster revealed itself. A huge wolf like animal approached me. It was HUGE!!! I took another step back as the mouth full of saliva took a step forward. It growled and leaped towards me! I dodged just in time and the wolf animal landed on a tree. I threw my sword at the branch, which would cause the branch to break. But unfortunatly, that didn't seem to work. My sword missed and it fell on the gound, under the wolf creature. The wolf smiled evily and leaped down from the tree. It grabbed the sword and sat there. I looked around for another weapon, but there was nothing. I slowly backed off and closed my eyes. I imagined water. Water... Water... That's it! Water could save me! I reached my hand out and tought of water rising from the ground, splashing the wolf. Suddenly, there was a rumble. The ground shook and a huge fountain appeared and surrounded me like a shield. Another huge fountain urged up and formed a shape of a hand and grabbed the sword from the wolf creature. It wimpered and ran away. The fountains of water slowly descended and the ground went back to normal. I was breathing heavily, what just happened? I got up and grabbed my sword. I turned around and started to walk again.

I started walking for a couple of miles until I heard a noise in the trees. I thought there were demons and I got ready. I was in battle position, I was ready for any surprise. The wind blew harder and harder, but still no noise. I melted into water so the demons won't see me. Footsteps started to make their way closer. That's strange, demons don't walk, unless they possess a body. Still, I waited. Suddenly, something dashed right past me. And by me, I mean a puddle. There was something watching me. And whoever that is, I don't think I'll like them. A shadow flew over me. That could only mean one thing, I was being watched by two enemies.

I reformed and shouted, “Come out whoever you are! I'm not afraid!” The man, no wait, girl revealed herself and shot an arrow at me. I noticed the arrow was pure gold, and it had the same material my sword has, perfect for killing demons. The material is called copper gold. Only found and made in the Fountain of Peace. I looked back at the mysterious girl and saw that she was wearing a ponytail. She had black hair. Really black hair. So black, it was scary. I could see like a scar on her shoulder. She was wearing some green and some black. She looked serious and determined. I saw her brown eyes glow in the shadows of the trees. The girl immediately made a position with her hand as if she was grabbing something. Since the arrow missed me, the arrow came back to her hand. It was incredible. She was a element holder too! Our weapons can hurt each other badly, maybe even kill. She was more skilled than me. She put her weapon away (bow and arrow) and went in the ready position when you aren't using your weapon. I jumped into the air and drew my sword at her. She kicked me in the stomach and I was down. I looked up and got into ready position. She threw the back of her arm at me, I put my back of the arm to her's as a block. She was doing arm battling. It's when you and your opponent only use their back of their arm to block and attack. Each taking one step forward or one step back. Your hands must be in a fist at all times. Whenever you strike or block, They have to make a cross. That girl was a master at it. I was moving back every time she attacked. Suddenly, a flying ring (a weapon sort of like a boomerang but is the shape of a circle) shot both of us down. My head was hurting. The second girl dropped out of the sky. Her weapon was also made out of copper gold. She put her hair in a very fancy kind of pigtails. This girl had long black hair. She looked like and angel, wearing all white and a bit of light blue. She wore the same outfit we all wore, tight shirt which went up to our elbows, shorts, a belt, it was only the colour of the shirt and the hairstyle that made us different. The first girl and I both started to charge towards her with our weapons. She suddenly turned into mist and disappeared. The first girl and and I hit our heads again and this time, it hurt really bad. Suddenly, the first girl took her bow and slammed on the ground which caused and earthquake. I lost my balance. Since the other two were using their elements, why can't I? I called for a tide. It came and washed both of them away. I controlled the wave by using my hands. After the two couldn't move, a fire surrounded us.

“Great!” I thought. There was a fourth third too. Two daggers went through the fire and almost stabbed me. A girl came walking through the fire and shot a look at me. She lowered the fire by lowering her hands and the four of us started to fight. It was obvious, we were all element holders. One attacking the other forever till one struck behind us. It's just weird why they would end up here.

“Good job girls” the fire one said after we all landed at the same time.

“Phew! That was a good warm up!” added the wind girl.

“How about we introduce ourselves!” suggested the fire girl, “My name is Flame, not much of a girl name but good enough. I come from the South.”

“My name is Linda, but you girls can call me Liz,” said the wind girl, “element of wind. I come from the East. I can understand animals.”

“I'm Natalie,” the earth one introduced, “and I have a feeling I'm not gonna be able to cooperate with you.” She pointed at me. All of them were waiting for me to introduce myself.

“Um, hi, my name is Jane.” I stumbled, “I come from the West in a little village. My element is water. I'm sixteen. I was sent to find the Diamond of Truth. Are you girls all element holders?”

“You have a lot to say!” exclaimed Liz.

“Yeah, we're all element holders.” replied Flame.

“Strange, we're looking for the Diamond of Truth too!” added Liz.

“Hey girls, how about we work together!” suggested Flame. There was a long silence. We were all staring at Natalie.

“Oh fine, you got me! I'm also looking for the diamond and yes, I'm a element holder.” she groaned.

“So it's settled, we'll help each other to find the Diamond of Truth.” claimed Flame. We introduced ourselves more and talked about our weapons. Each of our villages had a special event. Flame's was the Crazy Hat Carnival, Liz's is the Dance of the Century, and Natalie's is the Great Hunt. I told them about the Annual Water Fight. I discovered that each of them had their hard times. Natalie doesn't have parents, Flame lost her best friend and Liz has barely any self confidence. By the time we finished introducing ourselves, it was dark.

“Time flies by pretty quickly...” said Liz.

“We'd better get ready.” said Flame. Flame made a fire, Natalie hunted, Liz made a shelter and me, I collected the water. Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice...

“Jane, Jane,” it said “be aware! One that you trust
