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

“Hello?” I shouted, “Please! Come back! Who are you?”

“Beware Jane, beware...”

“Who? Who will deceive me? Hello? Spirits?”

“Who are you shouting at?” asked Natalie, “I knew you were nothing but trouble.” I gave her a dirty look. But I had to understand, a girl with no parents is hard.

After an exhausting day, we finally decided to get some sleep. 

"Demons are everywhere, we better sleep in different forms." suggested Flame.

"Smart thinking..." agreed Liz. With that, she jumped up and a cloud appeared. As she landed, she landed on the cloud and fell asleep. I smiled at her and closed my eyes. I let myself relax and melt into water.

"I don't need to hide from demons!" Natalie puffed and climbed up a tree and fell asleep. Flame just sat on a rock lay on the ground, with worried eyes. That night, another dream watcher gave me a dream...

I was in the woods, just a normal day in the village. Suddenly, I heard laughing and evil whispers all around me. The sky went dark, darker than night. Smoke surrounded me. I was attacked by demons! There were so many of them! All charging towards me at once. I grabbed my weapon but it was too late. I fell back and I was cornered. I tried to defeat them but I couldn't move! They were surrounding me, I cried and sobbed. I couldn't defend myself. One demon came close and laughed at me. I saw an image of my parents, they disappeared into mist like how Liz did, except instead of turning into mist, they turned into smoke. Suddenly, I found myself hopeless and not able to control myself! Then, I saw Lucy and Bella being attacked by demons. I was destroyed. I started to scream. That's when I woke up.

“Sounds like a nightmare.” giggled Natalie.

“Why didn't you guys wake me?” I asked.

“We didn't want to wake you up, you don't want to mess with a dream watcher's dream.” replied Flame. Flame and Liz were training. Natalie was eating breakfast. I shook my head, thinking back at the dream.

“So what dream did the dream watchers give you?” asked Liz, landing in front of me after a hight jump. I told them all what had happened. The voice, the dreams, the noise, I was confused.

“Interesting, the dream watchers have more contact with you than anybody else!” exclaimed Flame.

“Jane can talk to spirits?!” Liz exclaimed.

“Sort of,” said Flame, “she can see spirits too.”

“It's just a dream.” argued Natalie. I just have a suspicious feeling with Natalie. She's always on the opposite side of me, like as if we were enemies.

“Well, we better be on the move!” said Liz. We all packed up and started to 'travel'. See, I travelled by river (swim or run on water), Natalie went by trees, Liz went by either flying or going on a cloud and Flame ran. Flame was the fastest out of all of us. I noticed that because she seemed to be ahead of us all the time... I was behind, because of Natalie. She kept throwing things at me. Twigs, branches, rocks and other things. It was a good thing I dodged them. She was a pain in the back! If we weren't gonna get along at all, I don't think we'll ever make it to the Diamond of Truth.

When we were walking on land, Natalie kept throwing rocks at me, again. I tried to stop her but she kept acting innocent. Flame was like the leader of all of us. Liz was my new best friend. She's nice and caring. Natalie is the total opposite. She threw mud at me and when we were crossing a bridge hanging above lava! Natalie actually pushed me and I almost fell. I'm telling you if I had the chance to hurt her, I will.

“Guys, will you stop fooling around like children?!” shouted Flame for the... ninety-seventh time (I think, I lost count).

“She threw a water balloon at me!” complained Natalie.

“She started by -”

“Enough of this nonsense! I don't care who started it! You guys are gonna have to behave or we'll never find the diamond!” cried Flame. Flame was probably about eighteen years old, there was always something about her that made her different from us. Liz gave me a sad look.

"I feel bad for you Jane, but don't worry, it'll get better soon..." she said patting me on the shoulder.

“Hey look! A bird!” cried Natalie all of a sudden.

“Where?!” I shouted. Natalie suddenly shoved my head down and threw me in the mud.

“Oops!” she said in an innocent voice, “I was trying to show you were it was.” I gave her a dirty look (then again, my face was covered with mud so I was dirty).

“Watch out! It's not a bird! It's a Triple Dragon!” warned Liz.

“Duck!” shouted Flame.

“Where?!” I gasped as I finished rubbing the mud off my face.

“No, duck!!!!!!!!” exclaimed Liz. She pulled my head down (which landed in mud, again) and the dragon missed.

“Close call!” said Natalie.

“Be careful, that dragon can kill you! It's weak spot is it's stomach.” informed Liz.

“Hey ugly! Over here!” I shouted to the dragon. The dragon started to charge towards me.

“I wouldn't do that if I were you! They're aggressive!” instructed Liz. The dragon raced towards me and whacked it's spiky tail against me. I was hurt.

“Bad idea...” I groaned.

“Hurry, we need a plan!” shouted Flame.

"There's no time for a plan!" Natalie denied as she dodged the dragon's breath of cold water.

"It's a Water Double Dragon! Just as I thought!" declared Liz. The dragon roared and flew towards Flame. She jumped up and landed on it's back. Suddenly, she created a fire ball with her hands and threw it at the dragon. The dragon cried in pain and stumbled down.

"That should do it." sighed Flame. But the dragon wasn't done. It slowly got up, only more angry.

"Don't kill it! Dragons are very rare! There must be something it wants from us!" indicates Liz. I got up slowly and trembled. My body was in terrible pain. Flame looked at the Dragon's tail, it had a thorn in it.

Liz looked at her, knowing exactly what to do. She jumped in the air and created a light breeze. Natalie gestured her arms and a huge hand made out of dirt rose from the ground and slowly pulled out the thorn. The Dragon roared and flew away. I looked around and smiled at Liz.

"You guys work well together, without me..." I whispered as I felt unconscious.

"Jane!" I heard Liz panic. Her voice slowly disappeared and I was left dreaming...

“Each day gets worse... Whatever you do, do not leave your friends... they need you...” That voice came back. I dreamed of me getting hit by a water balloon at the Annual Water Fight. But no one was laughing like they should. They were all angry. I get hit once, then twice, then three times and it keeps going on till I fall down a hole. I kept falling and falling till I woke up.

“Jane! Wake up! Jane!” shouted Liz dumping another bucket of water on me. “Thank goodness you're alive! How do you feel?”

“I – I feel okay.” I replied, “I had another dream!”

“What is with you and your dreams?!” exclaimed Natalie. I told Liz my dream about the water fight.

“Do you feel discouraged each day?” asked Liz.

“Well, sort of.” I said. Liz looked worried. She had tears in her eyes.

“What else did the voice say?” she asked.

“It said not to leave my friends, but I already did. I already left my best friends at my village. I can't go back.”

“I'm afraid I can't help you.” she sighed. I was starting to think I may never find a solution to my problems. Each time I tried to help turned out to be nothing but trouble. The team made the dragon fly away withoug my help, I was getting hurt and getting in trouble because of Natalie. I'm starting to think the girls don't need me.

Two days past, there has been no rain since I met the gang. I woke up to the sound of Natalie screaming in my ear. Sometimes, I just wish some people never existed.

“Hey sleepyhead, had another dream?” she shouted.

“Not in the mood Natalie!” I shouted back.

“What's the matter? Too scared?” she giggled.

“I'm not falling for your tricks again!” I started to get annoyed.

“Why not? You never know! You're so clumsy!”

“Go annoy someone else!” To that, Natalie walked away. It was all silent. The trees that surrounded me (sleeping) stood still as ever. Not even the birds were singing. Something was suspicious. Suddenly, I heard a rustle in the trees. I thought it was Natalie so I just ignored it. Then, there was a heavy breathing noise...

I rose as quickly as I can. Liz had gone hunting and it was only Natalie, Flame and I.

"Flame!" I exclaimed as I shook her awake.

"What?! I'm trying to sleep here!" she shouted as she rolled around.

"We're being watched!" I cried.

"Of course we are. There's Natalie and the spirits who watch us."

"I meant by Demons!" A shadow crept behind us. I felt a shiver run down my spine. I nervously turned my head around and saw a huge black shadowy figure. Yellow glowing eyes glaring at me. I froze.

"Hey Flame, are you sure there aren't any demons?" I asked, frightened.

"Yes Jane, now leave me alone!" she groaned. I tapped her and she finally turned around. Her eyes went wide and stared at the demon, then me. I grabbed my sword and Flame took out her daggers. And it was HUGE! I forgot to mention that demons can form into one huge demon. Flame got her daggers ready. She and I went back to back.

"This is really bad... How did they follow us here?!" gasped Flame.

"You were the one sleeping!" I yelled back. I looked around. Natalie wasn't here.

“Oh no! She's gonna hurt Liz!” I thought. But I was stuck in the middle of a battle against a huge demon!

“Any bright ideas Jane?”

“Um, how about RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!” As soon as I was about to take action, Flame pulled me back.

“We have to work together!” she said. I stabbed the demon's arm but it just reproduced a new arm. Flame stabbed the heart but the demon just made a hole for the daggers to go right through. Flame and I were running out of ideas. Suddenly, something hit me... The demon
