Fire and Water by by Forest Evergreen & Rebecca Night (romance book recommendations txt) 📕

Araxie was in a state of complete shock! Thinking how could her mom move to the place where her mortal enemy (or immortal...but she doesn’t know this yet) most likely lived. So they packed up what they had and found a boat to cross to the main island. They moved into their new apartment with a beautiful ocean view. The next day she woke up to a brand new day and Araxie new everything would change. Ember woke up to a new day but knew everything would be the same, she’d wake up go to school come home do homework practice her element eat dinner then spend time with dad.
“ Ok mom, I’m going to go for a walk.”
“ No, you have school today.”
“ But I thought I wasn’t starting till I got used to everything.”
“ It’s not that big of a change and you need to go to school so I’d get ready.”
She went up to her room wondering why everything bad was happening to her, got herself ready and walked to school. It was cloudier that morning causing even more mishap to her day already. As soon as she arrived she went to the office to get everything all worked out. Right when she came out she got knocked into someone she recognized to well. Ember ran through the hall being chased by a preppy cheerleader that didn’t look happy and dripping water on the floor.
“ Dude, freakin a! Could you watch where your going!” Araxie screamed.
“ Don’t mess with me! I’m hell a busy so just shut up!”
“ Fine jack off!”
“ I’M GOONA KILL YOU!” The cheerleader screamed at Ember when she rounded the corner.
At lunch she waited in line and Ember cut straight to the front.
“ Dude seriously! Go to the back of the freakin line and wait like everyone else.” Araxie yelled from the middle of the line.
“ Hell no! You’re just gonna have to wait.”
“ Stuck up jerk!”
“ You know what shut your mouth rich brat!”
“ Ya right I’m not a rich brat I think it should be switched. I’m the not normal one and your a normal rich brat!”
“ Do you wanna go!”
“ Hell yea I do, bring it jerk!”
“ Freakin fine! Friday, 10 sharp in the school parking lot! Be there or I will hunt you down!”
“ Psht! Ya, right! You couldn’t hunt me down if you tried!”
“ Do you want me to try!”
“ Heck I don’t care! Just leave me alone prissy pants!”
“ How can you live with yourself?!”
“ For your information VERY WELL!”
“ I don’t have to argue with you dumb blonde!”
“ Oh were you talking to me? Well I’m not the one with blonde hair.”
“ Damn you to hell!”
“ Whatever.”
Ember ran off with her lunch while Araxie still waited in line thinking she won the verbal battle with a smug grin, but watched her back as much as she could. Throughout the day they both ran into each other but didn’t speak to each other, only glared. When Araxie got home she slammed the door and stamped up to her room.

“ You ready for this?” Ember said clearly ready to start some heat.
“ Hells to the ya!” Araxie yelled getting her competitiveness on. Embers hair turned to fire her eyes flamed and flames creeping up her arms and in a flash she wasn’t just covered in fire, SHE WAS FIRE! Araxie’s hair burst into waves her eyes turned to bursts of ocean and water crept up her arms and instead of being covered in water, SHE WAS WATER! Both burt into battle state, and now let the brawl of fire and water begin! Ember put her arms together and made a giant fire ball and hurled it at Araxie, she put up a salt water shield that blocked the burning flames. Ember stood in the air and shot flames at Araxie which was getting something special together. She circled her arms causing discs of water to from and spin looking as sharp as pain! She threw them both at Ember causing her fire to extinguish for a second and a slash on her arm.
“ YOUR GONNA PAY FOR THAT, DAMN IT!
“ MAKE ME!”
Ember ducked low then started rising up slowly causing her fire to expand so large it looked like half a football stadium of fire. She hurled it at Araxie having her fly back, arms burning and leg burnt and raw. Healing herself with water she glared at Ember who now didn’t have a scratch on her. She can heal herself with fire? That seems impossible. Araxie crouched down to the ground then came up very fast and kept scooping her arms up and up till she was inside a giant blade of water! She sent it flying at Ember in parts and after wards she was wet and bleeding. They kept throwing water and fire so much Araxie’s lip was bleeding and arm fully slashed and flaming and Ember had a bleeding slash above her eye and on her leg. Now Zeus had been watching this whole battle and was taking a liking to these to stubborn goddesses. Raine and Pyrome felt something wrong and went to go check on the girls at school. By the time they got there Araxie and Ember were both in bad states and still hurling fire and water through the air at each other.
“ ARAXIE!”
“ EMBER!”
“ What do you think you two are doing!?” Both parents said at the same time.
“ This was going to happen sooner or later! Now don’t get in our way!” Both girls screamed at their parents.
“ Wait!”
“ Just stop!”
“ Why the hell should I?” Ember yelled.
“ This is a brawl between her and I alone!” Araxie yelled.
“ You two are sisters!” Both parents blurted out.

Both stopped and faced each other, their elements fading away for a moment then bursting back.
“ She’s not my sister!” Ember exclaimed.
“ There is no freakin way we’re related!” Araxie yelled.
“ But you are.” Raine said gently (since so much screaming and yelling was going on).
“ Your mother and I feel in love and had both of you.” Pyrome explained.
“ Zeus banished us to earth and told us to separate you till you learned something.”
“ And till we learned something.” Pyrome added.
“ Let me get this figured out.”
“ Let me get this straight.”
“ We’re sisters?” They both questioned.
“ Yes, and goddesses.” Pyrome and Raine said.
“ Goddesses?!” They said.
“ Sweet!” Araxie said looking down at her arms.
“ Awesome!” Ember said admiring her flamed arms. Unexpectedly, Zeus came down out of Olympus.
“ You to put on quite a battle.” He exclaimed looking from one girl to the other.
“ About that...” Ember said.
“ Your welcome!” Araxie said smiling innocently.
“ I think you both learned a lesson, but would all of you care to elaborate?”
“ We learned even though fire and water are opposites when morphed we guess they get along well, with occasional brawls.” Said both sisters.
“ We learned that living without each other is very miserable and that if we need permission we ask.” Said both parents (totally sounding like kids).
“ Ready to come back to Olympus at least for a day?” Zeus asked.
“ I think we all are.” Said everyone but Pyrome.
“ Am I invited?” Pyrome said knowing that he came from the underworld and was one of the reasons they were banished.
“ But of course, since you’re all family.”
“ Ya, dad.” Araxie said for the first time in her life.
“ Dad come on, of course you’d come and mom too.” Ember said for the first time in her life.
“ Do we have to stay in Olympus?” Ember asked with Araxie nodding in agreement.
“ No but sometimes would be good.” Zeus said very casually. So after the rest of that day, getting Ember and Araxie cleaned up, moving into another new house and this time the whole family was under the same roof. The next day was Saturday they all went up to Olympus from the shrine Pyrome and Raine were married at. Zeus threw a feast welcoming Raine back to Olympus, two new goddesses, and a new member of Olympus. All of them in their god and goddess state. Ember and Araxie learned to get along with occasional out bursts and brawls (even practicing their elements together). They still got into trouble with preppy stuck up girls. Pyrome and Raine finally got to be together after 13 years and be the family they wanted for so long.
