Dear Nifty Readers, I apologize. I don't even know how to apologize. This chapter has been written since I posted the last one but I couldn't find the time until now. Please Review and email me and shit because I need you more than you know. I love you.
Thank you, my beta and the real Kate, and all of you who read and waited. I hope I don't disappoint.
Because part of the last chapter didn't post I will add it here

End of Chapter 1-
"I killed you! Centuries ago!" he screamed so loud I had to cover my ears.
"Well," was all she said.
Just like the blue lightning that spewed from the man's hands, a bright orange fire came from hers and just as quickly as he was there, he was gone. The woman came over to me. She wiped my tears with thee sleeve of her cloak and started to rub my shoulder.
"Calm down Luca, calm down? calm down, please calm down.."
That was when I blacked out
I would find out later that the woman was the Prophet and the man was a dark demon. The dark demon. And I am a Pentar, a human who is able to control the five elements. A human destined to defeat the dark demon. I had the power to save or destroy the world.
The sun rose just like it did every day.
I was prepared.
I must always be ready.
And I have to stay calm.
Chapter 2-
My school isn't a far walk from my house. I toss my lunch to Jak, a homeless man in his 60's who doesn't mind my guardians veganism. I live with my aunt, a lesbian and a die-hard feminist, who seems to be allergic to all things delicious. Jesse is a lawyer and usually leaves before me.
Maintaining my own breeze becomes more trouble than it's worth and I surrender to the sticky heat. On the way I stop by Kate's house. Its bright green and dainty and artsy. It's pretty much where I keep all my shit, including my book bag and a couple of extra weapons, just in case. I knock on the tacky metal door and I immediately hear barking. I love that fucking dog thing. Ten seconds later Kate opens the door and little Hercules runs out to greet me.
"You are the sexiest little dachshund! Yes you are? yes you are!" I say petting his short hair. "You're lucky I like wieners."
"You are disgusting," Kate says picking Hercules up. She throws the poor pup inside.
"I'm not the one addicted to yaoi incest." I say louder than I need to.
"We agreed not to speak about this" she says in a low whisper looking around to see if anyone heard.
I replied in the most logical way I know how. I licked her cheek. Real friends lick each other.
I checked my watch. Almost six thirty. Class starts in about an hour so we decide to grab coffee on the way. We are both juniors at Halcyon High and nearly all our classes are the same. The exception being that Kate was in theater, and really fucking good at it. I guess it stems from the fact that she's dramatic all the time anyway.
We finally reached the school. We usually got our coffee from a little stand across the street for school (I will not pay outrageous prices at Starbucks for a damn coffee not will I pay 100 dollars at Aeropostle or Hollister for two shirts and a pair of pants) but since Kate wanted Starbucks and offered to pay I am in no mood to object. I am, however, suspicious of why her hands got clamy all of a sudden.
"Kate?" I say suspiciously stopping in front of the door.
"Shh, I want you to meet someone. A boy" She says pulling me into the door.
"Dammit Kate, I?"
"SHHHHHH, be a good boy."
I'll fucking show her good. I'm ready to freeze her feet in place when I see him. Since it was early there weren't many people here yet so I found him pretty easily. And he was definitely a boy.
"He looks like?"
"Christian Grey! Fifty Shades baby!" Kate says taking the description from my lips.
Tall, but not too tall. Stormy grey eyes and shaggy hair that was slightly grey. Oh god no?
He has snake bites on his lips, lips begging to be bit, begging to be savored. His skin pale and looked as if it would collapse with touch. He was staring at something on the counter, a paper perhaps, when he caught me. I know now he is crying, salty tears falling on delicate skin. He quickly looks away and I am mortified.
I store at him longer than I did Kate's usually tributes. The Prophet told us to focus on the mission and to let no one get in the way but I know if I had him there would be nothing more I'd want to do than to lay in his arms and forget. All I want to do is forget. Kate still is determined to find me a lover I am not supposed to have but right now all I want to do was to taste his tears. To make his problems mind. God I'm a fucking weirdo. I don't like this.
"You're mighty silent there Luke." Kate says grinning.
"Kate you know I can't have a relationship right now. WE have a mission. We have to find my parents murderer."
She looks at me and turns to the Grey boy with that "ok, watch this" look on her face. When he isn't looking she forces the liquid coffee out of the machines.
"No No No! Kate!" I whisper yell cursing the Prophet for gifting her water bending.
She just shrugs and nods toward the poor guy frantically trying to clean up the coffee that is now turning to a pool of mess.
"God Dammit Ka-!"
"Ah, ah ,ah," she says wagging her finger, "stay calm love."
"I, ah! Ugh!" I say exasperated.
I grab a bunch of napkins and I amble towards Grey boy. I bend on my knees and I start cleaning up the dark liquid in silence. I am not giving her satisfaction by conversing with him.
When all the coffee is gone I stand up. My grey sweater (and my pride) is ruined. I angrily try to clean it up, temporarily forgetting about Grey when he comes up behind me.
"I'm, I'm sorry." He stutters. To fucking adorable.
"It's not your fault." I say without turning around. I need to get out of here.
"Yes, yes it is. I, I, I should, sorry, have made sure the spouts closed." He says nervously apologizing for tripping on his words.
He steps in front of me. I finally give in. I may be pissed but I'm not rude.
"Trust me. It's not your fault."
I don't know if he believes me or just thinks I'm being nice but he drops it.
"I'm Ethan by the way." he says stretching out his hand.
I shake it. It's rough and warm and oh God I'm moaning.
"I have to go." I say rushing out of the door leaving my damaged sweater behind. I don't even care anymore.
Kate is outside smoking a cigarette. I set the entire damned thing on fire in her hands.
"What the fuck?" she says looking at me with those devilish but innocent green eyes.
"One you don't smoke and two why did you do that?!"
"Don't you deserve some fucking happiness Luca?"
"No!" I yell, my voice ushering in silence between us. "I don't"
I guess that's it. We walked to school I silence, though I could feel her power inside me slowing down my blood, lowering the pressure.
The thirds chapter is already written out so all I have to do is type, which I shall swear to do this week and post by Sunday if life permits. Once again I love you.
