Subject: Element (part 2)

Aquan is under the waterfall enjoying the feel on his skin, he always felt
so at peace in water. All of a sudden his body tensed when he felt eyes on
him. He assumed it was on of the princes and continues under the
waterfall. Suddenly someone jumps in the water. He turns around to see
someone swimming towards him. He dosent feel any magical abilities at all
and tries to figure out which element this man is.

He is so focused on the mysterious man with black hair that he doesn't
notice the other man behind him. The guy stabs him with something as Aquan
let's out a scream before falling back into the mans arms unconscious.

Flamon is talking to Grasdon and Aerius when he hears aquan scream and run
towards the waterfall. Grasdon quickly follows demanding that Aerius stay
behind. Aerius is sitting there nervous when something hits him in the neck
and his body starts to burn as he let's out a scream and falls over.
Grasdon hears this and runs back to the camp to find Aerius gone.

Aquan woke up barely able to move, they must have injected him with
something. He knew that only human blood has the ability to make an element
temperarily lose his powers and strength, but humans have been extinct for
a century.  He looked up to a pair of gray eyes. The man had black hair,
and fair skin. He looked to be no older than sixteen, but he was very
muscular. He stood at about 6'4 and 250 pounds. He smiled as he lifted
aquan up so that Aquan was on his knees and the two were face to face.
Aquan could barely stay in an upright position as the man leaned in close,
and spoke.

'Wow I've seen a lot of your kind, but never one as cute as you.' Aquan
tried to stand up, but couldn't move. He looked at his captor and spoke
with trepidation. 'W...what do you want from us?' He knew Aerius was in the
hut with them, because he could sense his essence. 'Don't worry we won't
hurt you, but you two belong to us know.'  Aerius awoke to a pair of blue
eyes staring at him intently. The man standing over him and had the same
features and was the same size as his dark haired colleague except he had
blond hair, and blue eyes. 'H...human' aerius said trying to sit up. The
man just nodded as he lie on top of him.

'We've been watching you two since you stumbled into the woods. Two pretty
little guys like you should be more careful you could have gotten hurt.' he
said stroking aerius's face. Aerius was scared, but he felt a little better
sensing that aquan was there with him.

'Please....just let us go' he said. Elements knew how destructive humans
were, and how they seemed to destroy everything they like. Tears started
rolling down his face, but he couldn't wipe them. He tried to turn his face
away from the man, but was held in a firm grip.

'Dont worry my little angel we aren't gonna hurt you' he said. Aerius kept
crying, but aquan was slowly able to gain his power. The were laying in the
grass while inside the hut so he collected water from it to gain his
strength. As the dark haired man leaned to kiss him he blasted him out of
the hut, and into a tree.

He turned towards Aerius and shot the other man. He stumbled over to Aerius
and attempted to pick him up. The black haired human had regained some
stability ran and tackled Aquan into the ground. Aquan attempted to fight
him off, but he wasn't strong enough. The dark haired man then made a small
cut in his arm and held it forcefully into Aquan's mouth with more of his
blood knocking Aquan unconscious.

By this time the blond human had gained consciousness and picked up the
still paralyzed Aerius in his arms. He looked over at his dark haired
friend still feeding the element his blood. `Hey! Hey! That's enough.' He
said and the dark haired boy let go of the limp element and stood up. He
then bent down to pick Aquan up. Before he could the two men heard rapid
foot steps coming towards them. The two were too weak to fight so they
retreated.

Grasdon and Flamon appeared after sensing Aquan before he fainted. They
carried the two boys back to there camp and Grasdon shielded it with earth
traps. After a few hours Aerius got movement of his body again, but Aquan
showed no signs of awaking anytime soon.

Aerius walked over to his best friend who was lying on a bed of roses,
thanks to Grasdon, and shook him. 'Aquan...please wake up!' He said shaking
him. Too much human blood could do serious even fatal damage to an
element. Flamon say Aerius and grabbed him, dragging him away from
Aquan. 'Are you stupid grabbing him won't do anything but make the
situation worse!' Aerius had tears in his eyes, and flamon immediately
cooled down.

' I'm sorry I know you're worried about him and so are we. I didn't mean to
yell so harshly.' ' It's okay' Aerius whimpered looking at the ground
fighting back tears. Aquan had always been there to comfort him, but he
wasn't now and Aerius felt alone. He wanted to be strong and masculine, but
he couldn't stop the tears from falling.

Grasdon came and held him as he layed by aquan and sobbed. Grasdon glared
at flamon and held aerius tight. Flamon looked a bit abashed, but he
decided to give them some time. Around 8 p.m. Aquan started to come to.

 Immediately Flamon rushed to his side.  'Are you okay? Do you need
anything? Do you want some water? What hurts?' He said nervously. 'Yes, no,
yes, and everything.' Aquan said with a faint smile. Flamon gave him a big
hug which was very unusual for him.

' I'm so glad you're okay I thought you might...' he started to choke back
tears.  Aquan placed a hand on his face and said. 'Dont worry my
friend. I'm okay.' Aerius and Grasdon had fallen asleep wrapped in a bed of
flowers because the temperature drops drastically at night. Aquan started
getting really cold.

'F...Flamon I'm...v...very cold...could you make a...fire?' Flamon could
have made a fire, but he lie in front of Aquan and wrapped his arms around
him. Aquan's body was so cold that Flamon's body temperature temporarily
decreased. Flamon placed his hands on the small of aquans back and pulled
him close.

'Th...thank you' he said. Aquan wanted to place his head on flamons chest,
but he didn't want to make him too uncomfortable. He knew that Flamon was
slightly homophobic so it shocked him that Flamon held him in the first
place. Suddenly Flamon lifted Aquan off of the ground, rolled on to his
back, and placed Aquan on top of him. Aquan had to lay his head on his
chest now, and the extra warmth quickly put him to sleep.

Grasdon awoke the next morning with aerius asleep in his arms. He wanted
nothing more than to kill whomever was responsible for hurting him. He
gently pressed his lips against his sleeping angel's. He tried to fight his
feelings at first, but when aerius gave him a kiss thanking him for letting
them tag along it released a completely new set of feelings.

 Aerius awoke and looked into the eyes of his first boyfriend. He and Aquan
often kissed, but they were just best friends. He rolled on top of Grasdon
and straddled him. He leaned down and kissed him. As they kiss grew
stronger the wind started to blow, and flowers quickly started
blooming. They were so focused on each other that they didn't even notice
that their powers were being activated. They stopped when they heard Flamon
awake. Aerius giggled when he saw that he was making the wind blow greatly
and saw all of the flowers that had bloomed.

Flamon had opened his eyes to his sleeping beauty still lying on top of
him.  He gave him a gentle squeeze of affection causing Aquan to sigh
contentedly. Aquan awoke soon after that and realized that he was still
lying on Flamon who was also awake.

Grateful that Flamon had allowed him to rest undisturbed, even if he was
uncomfortable with having another man on top of him. Thinking of this Aquan
reluctantly got off of flamon. He was still very weak from all of the human
blood and tried to get to his feet, but to no avail.

 He could barely sit up, and his eyes were struggling to stay open. Flamon
grabbed Aquan by the waist and placed him back on top of his chest. Aerius
smiled at this. He wanted so badly for Aquan and Flamon to have a
relationship. Grasdon smiled a knowing smile at Flamon, this seemed to give
him enough courage to speak.

'Aquan.' he said with a bit of trepidation. 'Yes?' Aquan asked while
readjusting his head on Flamon's chest. Because Flamon was a fire element
his body temperature was much warmer than the others, and because Aquan was
a water element his was much cooler. 'I really like you...a lot and i was
hoping you would be mine?' Aquan paused before answering and Flamon took
this as a bad sign.

'Flamon could you take me to the lake?' Flamon was curious but
obliged. Aerius knew what aquan was doing, but grasdon didn't have a
clue. Aquan and Flamon went completely under water, and what Flamon saw
shocked him. Aquan was a mermaid, but not the beautiful ones he had seen
and assumed that they all were.

His once ebony skin was now completely gold, his nails and teeth grew
elongated and menacing, his dreads started to devlope sharp points and the
end, and his tail was more like a serpent than a dolphin. If Aquan weren't
in his arms Flamon might have drowned from shock.

'Flamon i would love nothing more than to be yours, but this is who i
am. Can you accept me?' Although Aquan was in his true form he could still
barely move so Flamon had to hold him. Flamon gently pressed his lips on
aquans and held him there as he slowly exited the water. Aerius and Grasdon
had arrived and saw Aquan true form. Honestly it scared Grasdon a
little. He knew all of the water tribe were mermaids, but none were gold,
or looked as menacing.

They returned to camp and packed up. As they were packing Flamon and
Grasdon started asking questions. 'Who attacked you the other day?' Grasdon
asked. 'Humans.' Aerius replied. 'What?!' Flamon exclaimed. ' It's true
they shot us with there blood.' Aquan concurred. 'How many?' Grasdon
asked. 'Two, but the way they fought makes me think there are more' said
Aerius. 'They were trained by an element.' Aquan said struggling to sit
upright. They all looked at him.

'Humans didn't even know about elements let alone our weakness.' Grasdon
agreed as he thought of who would possibly find and help humans. 'Elder
kai!' He said. Elder kai was one of the first elemental elders. He believed
that elements should train humans, and keep them as pets. The other elders
said that he was insane and exiled him from all tribes.

'If there are anymore humans he's definitely controlling them all by now.'
he was exiled right before world war three erupted and hasn't been seen
since. They pack up all of there supplies, and continue there journey.
Flamon had to carry Aquan , who still did not have control over his body.
All the while elder kai and his two human proteges watch from afar.
