When the door to Regilas office shinked open and we walked through, we saw the head of the A.O.B.

"I thought you three would never arrive." Regila said, sitting at her desk with her feet propped up on the desk.

"Yeah, well here we are." Said Alysia, crossing her arms. Both her bracelets clacking together as she did so.

"I see your cuffs and the Stoic is on." Regila said to Alysia, bringing her legs down from the desk.

"Yup."

"The reason I told you all to come into my office is to receive your punishment." Regila folded her hands and rested her chin on them.

Fabulous. Two days in and I'm already screwed?

"Now, before I give it to you. I have noticed that I need to tell you why I bring you all here to this island." Regila expressed.

"Please, please tell us why the hell we need to be on this stupid island." William ejaculated.

"I am getting to that, so please. Have a seat and I will tell you all about my past. Now do keep in mind that I do not tell this to everyone and keep this very close to my heart. So I need to know if I can trust you not to tell anyone what I am about to tell you." Regila said, her eyes flashing a frightening white.

All three of us gulped and nodded our heads.

"Now, in order for you to get the whole picture. I am going to start from the very beginning...

"My sister and I were born at midnight. And we both are Masters of the Elements, me with Light and her with Darkness.

"Now, when you get this scar. In any sort of natural and accidental occurrence, you will eventually get powers that are linked to the elements. Regina and I both got our scarring through the birth and mine is on my right wrist." Regila put forth her right wrist and pulled back her sleeve to reveal a circle hook shaped scar on the inside of her wrist. "Regina's is on the inside of her left wrist..

"Now you three have to understand that you also only get these powers when both of your parents have some of this element inside their genes. So when my parents had my sister and I, they both had some of the element in their genes and both passed their combination down onto us. "When we grew older, around your ages Regina and I started to notice weird happenings around us. Now, we were always super close. And we told each other every single detail of every single little thing that we either learned or heard or who knows what- we told each other everything.

"So when we started to notice weird happenings, we investigated them. We would experiment, try to get to the bottom of the problem.

"Eventually we did, we learned about the elements and how to harness them. We both wanted immediately to learn everything we could about this unusual occurrence, and see if there were others out there with the same powers as us.

"When we were old enough to move out of the house, we did it together. And together we learned more about these powers and how to access them in new and wild and unique ways.

"Sooner or later, we discovered when someone would flare out and how to calculate it before it got too late. We learned tons more, but slowly. Ever so slowly, Regina's element was beginning to consume her.

"Before I could find any new people who were not to far gone from this gift- young people like you. Or really Xavier and Pippen."

I side glanced at Alysia to get her reaction, her face was like it was set in stone. It was a pretty impressive poker face.

"Can you hurry up get to the point already?" Alysia huffed.

"I'm getting to that, just hold on." Regila said, flashing Alysia a warning.

Alysia huffed and leaned back into her chair.

"When we found Xavier and Pippen in east London, and Regina and I taught them how to unlock and control their element.

"For a long while. Regina had been experimenting with different ways to control her element, and her element is darkness. So we probably know what this conversation will lead to." Regila's jaw tightened, this getting hard for her to talk about.

We all simultaneously nodded our heads in recognition.

"So soon after we had taken in Xavier and Pippen, who were at the time running away from their parents and living in the streets, Regina started showing Xavier different ways to control his Element.

"Regina and I had this huge fight with our powers and we both went our separate ways and have dedicated our lives to finding people with this scar and teaching them how to unlock and learn how to control their element ever since. Regina has never had the best of luck when it came to finding people with this marking, it has always been me." Regila said sitting back in her chair.

"Ever since we had separated our ways, Regina has tried relentlessly to kidnap my pupils and obliterate my base here." Regila said, staring off at nothing in particular. She blinked. "Now, any questions? There's more to the story, but I want to hurry this up."

"Yes." I said, raising my hand.

"You don't need to raise your hand, Celeste." Regila said kindly, her hand motioning for me to put my hand down.

I followed her orders and asked. "Why does Regina want to kidnap your pupils?"

"Because she wants to warp my students into learning from her point of view, I've already 'done the hard work.'"

"I have a question." Alysia said.

"Yes?"

"How long do I have to wear these bracelets?" She asked shaking her wrists so she could hear the clanking.

"Till I feel like I can trust you again, all you have to do is prove yourself to me." She said.

"Now, tomorrow morning Xavier and Pippen are going to fetch all three of you and take you on a training exercise that will last for a couple days out on the uninhabited parts of this island." Regila said. "You should not need to use your powers. But this exercise is mainly for Celeste and William's benefit." She said. "Now off you three go. I have to get ready for a meeting." She waved to the door and all three of us made out way out.

The door automatically opened and the three of us walked away from Regila.

"Well, I guess we are going to have to just chill till supper." Said William, itching the side of his nose.

"Sure, lets go to my room." Alysia agreed.

"Okay, you guys have fun." I said, "I am just gonna go to my room... By the way, do you know which way it is?" I asked Alysia.

"Oh c'mon puker, you are joining us. Plus, your room is literally right across from mine." She said, giving me a wicked grin.

I am starting to get very upset about this whole 'puker' nickname and all these other names she's giving me. But I guess that is just her personality. "Oh, okay..."

Alysia opened her door with her hand, all three of us step inside and I was taken aback by Alysia's room.

Everything was white- like normal- but her carpet was a very dark purple and her bed sheets were a very dark purple and her pillows were black and somehow she had covered her closet to be black as well as her desk. And what was even more impressive, is that she somehow was able to cover up most of the white with black. I have absolutely no clue where she got the materials to cover up the white. But she did, I should take lessons.

"Alysia, where did you get all the black to cover up the white?" I asked still looking around. Above her bed in the alcove, she had purple gems and rocks and creepy looking stuff hanging over her bed. It was cool, but in a creepy sort of way...

"All I did was just ask for some black contact paper for some "art crafts."" She said, putting "art crafts" in little air quotes. "I'm slowly working on it. I am expecting my shipment of contact paper by tomorrow because they are getting the supply boat in...So here I am. Back in this hell hole." Alysia added, walking over to her bed and jumping onto it on her stomach and grabbing a big creepy old black leather bound book with the yellowed papers threatening to fall out of it. It also had this crescent moon sewn onto the cover in golden thread and in the middle of the crescent, was a pretty hefty sized amethyst.

"What is that book?" I asked, sitting at the end of the bed and snagging one of the pillows and leaning against it.

"This here. This is my spell book." She said ominously.

I laughed. "Yeah right, there is no such thing" Then I thought about the whole "lightness and darkness" mumbo-jumbo Regila was spouting on about in her office and all of these kids here that have this supposed "Elemental Power" that they can apparently connect to somehow.

Alysia glared at me and opened it. "I'm surprised you don't understand this, considering all that has happened to you in the past couple of days with all this 'magic.'" She said.

I opened my mouth to spit back a retort, but my mouth stayed closed. I frowned. "Okay then, show me your 'magic.'"

"I already have, but that was my elemental power. Given to me by my body. This power is gifted." Alysia said, her eyebrows jumping but at the same time being completely serious.

"Don't make fun of this. This may seem completely crazy, but it is absolutely real. No matter how insane it sounds." William said, his eyes drifting around the room then landing on me.

"Okay-y..." I said, side glancing then looking around the room awkwardly.

"These stupid bands don't stop this kind of magic. They are designed for the elemental magic." Alysia flipped through the book.

"Um... okay. What are you getting at?" I asked, starting to feel uncomfortable.

"I'm going to look into your memories and try and find some past event or anything that will give us a hint to what your element is." Alysia said looking me straight in the eyes, her face very serious and betraying that this was no joking matter.

I bit my lip, nervous. I had no idea what in dickens name they were talking about. I knew that somehow I could not stop what they were going to do to me.

"Will it hurt?" I asked

"... No."

"Why'd you hesitate then?"

"Lay down, otherwise you will you'll knock your head." She said, pulling William up from the bed as she stood up.

I sat up and looked at both of them. "Wha—?"

"Oh, c'mon. Don't make me make William make you lie down." Alysia pushed my shoulder towards the pillows on her bed. "I need to hurry and do this before we have to go."

I laid down on the bed and situated myself.

"Comfy?" Alysia asked, "Let's get on with this..."

I watched as William brought a chair over for Alysia to prop up the spell book, I guess that is what it is. It certainly seems to have all the elements. No pun intended.

Alysia opened it to a page, there were a bunch of scribbles and crudely drawn pictures on the pages. And at the top of the left page was the words scrawled:

How to Look Into One's Memories

I put my head back and closed my eyes.

"Okay, you ready?" Alysia said, she sounded like I was about to undertake surgery.

"I guess so..." I said taking a deep breath in and out.

"Okay-y." Alysia breathed, she finished looking over the book and then started to speak words in this weird sounding language. I shut my eyes.

"Relax." William whispered.

I nodded and tried to breathe like a normal person would.

Alysia kept talking, her voice lilting and fluctuating with every single syllable she spoke. The words she spoke were oddly calming and I soon felt myself slowly drifting away.

Hello! And again, the picture isn't a character look. But I thought it would be cool to show this picture. Because it is sorta what I envisioned. And and don't, if you have any suggestions, theories, or ANYTHING. Let me know below!
