She looked up. “You won’t?”
I shook my head. “Of course not. Not if it makes you this sad. I don’t intend to be in a war anyways. I’m too much of a chicken for those kind of things.”
And I wasn’t even exaggerating. I can’t even defend myself from 3 jealous girlfriends. They think I can defend myself from bloodthirsty soldiers and a person who can mind-control?
“Wait a minute.” Ardea said. “You can’t just not come. Our people are dying.”
“B-But…”
“Mrs. Melton, you have to understand.” Gaea said carefully. “Miss Melton comes with us, or it’s the end of Sanix.”
My mom turned to dad and me.
“She’s right, Ella.” My dad said finally and glanced at me. “But do you want to go?”
I glanced around the 4 strangers in my living room. And then I glanced at my family. I bit my lips. What should I do? This was a big, tough decision to make. I sighed.
“Will I really be able to help people there?” I asked.
“Yes.” Gaea replied quickly.
“How many?”
“Huh?”
“How many people will die if I don’t go?” I asked.
“Oh, a few hundred thousands a day at the most.” Aquilo replied casually. “No pressure.”
I snorted. “Don’t give me sarcasm.”
He shrugged and rolled his eyes at me.
I sighed. “What will happen if I don’t go, other than people dying?”
“If you don’t train with your powers and learn how to control them, you’ll probably not be able to use them. The element, or in your case, the elements will die within you as well.”
“Which will be a lot of fun.” Ardea rolled her eyes.
I frowned. “What do you mean?”
“The element is the part of you. It would be like your… your finger being torn away from your hand." She said. “And since it’s like a big part, it’ll probably kill you before you know it.”
“K-Kill me?” I said, dumfounded.
She shrugged. “Or your power won’t be able to stay inside you anymore and explode one day, killing everybody else around you first.”
