Elizabeth Hathaway's Story

The Sun is so beautiful in the morning. She thought to herself as she turned onto the last leg of her morning jog. Today is the first day of school. College. High school was fun but she was ready for a change. she needed new things. she could see the light on in the kitchen of the old farm house. Her aunt was awake already. odd. When she made it to the old wood porch she could smell the reason. Fresh pancakes. Elizabeth smiled. She walked into the house to see a plate on the table with 3 chocolate pancakes laying with maple syrup beside it.

"Good Morning Elizabeth!" She called from the kitchen.

"Morning!" She said sitting down and drinking the whole glass of milk that sat on the table.

"My My, you sure do work yourself up." Aunt Jean said pouring another glass for her.

Elizabeth just smiled and dug into her pancakes. Her mind was to full on her new classes and what would happen when she got there. The people she'd meet. She had to get there early to sign up for clubs. She ate quickly and thanked her aunt. She moved to her room. Boxes still stood in the hall and in the room itself. She still had a few things to unpack. She moved in with her aunt to go to this college. To get away from her old life. she dressed quickly and brushed her teeth. She then moved down the stairs grabbing her books and keys and bounding out the door. She got into her truck and headed off.

Traffic wasn't bad. She was still a little early though she parked at the back of the parking lot anyways. When she got out she looked the old building over. It was made of large brown and gray stone. She smiled and headed for the atrium Where first year student where to meet. She had a list of things she needed to sign up for. Track, Archery, Lit and Home Economics. she breathed in deeply and walked inside.

Elizabeth walked on through the busy halls. People were everywhere! She followed the hustle and bustle until she entered a large room. It looked to be the gym but is was much bigger then she thought. It was more of a hall then anything. At the far end of the room, small booths were set up with rather interesting signs and posters above them stated what each booth was. meny of them were sports but their were some clubs as well. It reminded her of walking down the games row at at carnival or fair. she moved in and some students at the door wearing blue sweaters with bear clawing through the shirt gave her a small pull string bag with the college logo on it. Inside held a bunch of things with the school logo on it. a water bottle, key chain, pens and a pair of sunglasses. she smiled and through it over her shoulder. She looked around until she could find a few things she liked. By the time Elizabeth was finished walking around she had joined cross country, home economics, volleyball and archery. she smiled and then a loud beeping coming from the schools PA system caught her attention.

"Hello everyone and welcome to a new year. I would like to ask that all first years students please report to the theater located in building C. i repeat, could all first year students please report to the theater in building C. There you will pick up your class timetables and and will be welcomes into the college. Have a great first day Bears!"

Elizabeth smiled. Their mascot must be a bear. She reached back and grabbed her student map out of her bag. She was in building B. She would have to go out and walk around. She watched as then flow of students changed and moved towards the doors. She followed trying not be get shoved around to much. Once outside she took a long deep breath and calmed herself. She then started walking and looking down at her map to get a lay of the land. Just as she was coming around a corner she ran right into someone. Making there bag and things inside fall to the ground. Elizabeth started to pick his or her things up.

"I'm so sorry! I wasn't watching where i was going. I'm such an air head sometimes!" She said trying to pick up as much as possible for them.

Tony was walking in to the college-school-place, looking around as he did. He thought it was a good idea to keep his sunglasses on, that way no one could see his eyes for emotion. He hated that trick invented by his parents, even now they did it, and they were good enough to get past the sunglasses. He had only just gotten in less then a minute's time when suddenly, this young woman was walking towards him. He slowly came to a stop in front of her, listening to the chatter of the crowd as she spoke about a map and was handing it to him. Naturally, he took it and looked it over. He furrowed his brows at this and thought she must of been some sort of foreigner - he could read the map just fine. He was about to speak, when, out of the blue, this boy slammed into the girl and dropped his things. He blinked a bit before looking back at the map, trying to remember what she tried to ask, when he felt the map taken forcibly from his hands by the young lady just as quickly as he had taken it at her request. She then started talking to the other boy and they began to converse about the map. "... Okay, leaving now. Never going to see you two again." He stated as he adjusted his sunglasses and left. They didn't hear him, both were off almost as quickly as he was, but not quick enough.



Weekly, Tony watched the show only known as The Elementals. It was a nice popular show that aired a new episode twice a week, Monday and Fridays at 5 P.M. It was an interesting show, as far as Tony knew. The main character, Blaze as he called himself, was a normal kid who went to school and had a group of friends who all hung out when they got the chance. One night, Blaze finds himself confronted by an unknown giant creature of fire who attacks him, and causes Blaze's powers to awaken. Similarly, a creature appears before the others as well, and Blaze finds out that the creature his representation of Fire. The spirit tells him that they were chosen as the next Elementals, a group of people who defended the world from magical incidents which could threaten to destroy all of humanity along with all of life.

Last week's episode showed the conclusion to the three episode storyline, which involved Blaze's cousin, Tony, obtaining fire powers from the antagonist of the series, Entity. He gave Tony a dark fire spirit, which would allow Tony to be just like his cousin. After three episodes of building up to it, Tony finally challenged Blaze to a fight, to which Blaze accepted. Both were standing outside as the wind blew heavily on them both, rain falling down at them, but never hitting them. Blaze glared at Tony's eyes, Tony smirking with confidence as both could see each other's auras. Blaze's aura glowed brightly like a lit flame, while Tony's glowed darkly and was less visible to notice.

"So, I'm curious." Tony spoke, tapping his chin in mocking thought. "First you never tell me that you were really Captain Flame, the leader of the team of Elementals --" "I hate that name they gave me!" Blaze interrupted, looking down for a moment before looking back up. "Sorry, you were saying?" He said as Tony glared at him. "... Never mind, you don't seem to care enough, like always." Tony remarked with a poison like tone to his voice. "No Tony, you are just too arrogant and stupid to realize why I couldn't tell you! It's like Clark Kent being Superman, or Bruce Wayne being Batman, or any other superhero being just that! A superhero!" "So you admit you like being super now." "I HATE IT, TONY! I really do! You know why?! Because people have died before, Tony! I let them down! I couldn't save them! Yet here you are, with powers, thinking you know what it suddenly all means?! I've been envious of you from the moment you started sports! You were better then me, you were the awesome guy, you were the one every lady wanted! I was the loser, the guy who got beat up, yet I was given a chance to do something GOOD for everyone, not ABUSE it like you are now!" "Oh here we go... Saying I'm the bad guy now, are we? After I tried to be nice and talk you into this..." With that, Tony's spirit appeared behind him, only visible to Blaze. "... So this is how you want to this?!" Blaze responded, summoning his spirit behind him too. And then, the two relatives raced towards one another!



Tony was walking along thinking about how the fight was going to go when -- BAM! -- collision course had been set for his fate! Oh and something about bears. What did bears have to do with anything right now? Oh well. He found them landing near each other as they're stuff crashed near each other on top of this. Tony blinked as he readjusted his sunglasses before sitting up and seeing her start to pick up his things. He smiled a little as he started to laugh loudly at this, holding his gut as he did before shaking his head. He then stopped himself and picked up her things while she was finishing picking up his. He then handed over her stuff to her. "Easy now, take deep and steady breaths now... I'd just like my stuff. It seems like people like bumping into each other around here... My name is Tony. What do you call yourself, miss?" Tony asked, watching her for any nervousness or such as he kept his smile. He scratched his head a little at this, thinking to himself. God I must look like a MESS to her right now!

"Easy now, take deep and steady breaths now... I'd just like my stuff. It seems like people like bumping into each other around here... My name is Tony. What do you call yourself, miss?"

Elizabeth looked the boy over when he said this. He sounded over confident and sarcastic but when she looked up he had a friendly smiled. He was joking. She hadn’t been able to too before but she could now. She picked his books up and noticed that he was a first year student too. She smiled a warm smile. Finally someone in my year. She thought.

“Yeah, tell me about it. I got into the gym to sign up for some clubs and sports and i thought i was playing football and I was the running back." She said shaking her head. She handed him his books.

"Nice to meet you Tony, my name is Elizabeth. I could see from your books you’re a first year too. Would you happen to know where that theater thing is? I mean I was just following the crowd but look what that got me." She said with a light laugh as she pushed her hair away from her face as a light breeze came through the court yard.

Elizabeth shifted her old rap-sack to her other shoulder and pulled her map out from her books and looked it over. She wasn't use to so much space. Her old school was all one building in the middle of the city. Now she was half a mile from anything and she lived on a farm not a high-rise. She looked up at Tony hoping he had a clue where to go.

Grace looked around at the dorms and inspected a dorm room that had been left open. It was spacious and private, but maybe not as spacious as she would've prefered. Tapping her fingers against her bottom lip she walked out of the dorm and walked back outside.... Only to run into a girl. The buckle of Grace's laptop bag broke with a snap and her laptop fell to the floor with a crach and loud rattling sound as if something had been knocked loose. "Damn." She whispered out before realizing that the girl hadn't been alone. A man was standing by the person she ran into and he looked like a jerk. Yes, Grace was a bit judgemental, but she didn't have any other word she could use to describe other then Jerk.

Grace pulled back and visibly slipped on a mistrustful mask onto her face, before whispering out to the girl. "I'm sorry for running into you, I didn't mean to." She tried to smile but failed, epicly, and was only able to frown.

~ Blazing Tony: First one girl comes along, then another comes. I'm never going to get to class. ~

"Elizabeth, huh? Theater, huh? Interesting..." He said, nodding to her as she mentioned something about a theater. He didn't even know he had to go to a theater... He crossed his arms over his chest as he furrowed his brows, thinking. "... Theater? I thought I saw something about a theater... But... I need a map again to remember." He said. He continued to think to himself, his mind going back and forth for some reason as he rubbed his forehead at this. Around this time, a girl named Grace Vincent had bumped into Elizabeth. His mind wondered off at this point...

~ Inferno! The world of fire! ~

Tony imagined himself in the world of The Elementals, walking through the base alone as it seemed quiet. "Where is everyone?" He asked himself, his voice seeming to echo as he checked one room. He quietly pushed the door open to look inside, but found nothing. Drat, no one was there. Tony continued to walk around as he furrowed his brows at this. Shouldn't he be elsewhere...? Shouldn't he be in school? But his thought for fun overcame that, and Tony ran forward until he found the room he needed. The device that could send him into Entity's realm! He knew how to turn the machine on, placing his hand on the top of it as it glowed with life! It worked, and he was ready to go! So he backed up and raced forward, leaping forward into the portal and...!

... Finding himself floating in front of three beings. Each of them had something to do with fire, as they all stared him down. The first one stood to his left, glaring at him with caution as it's body looked like it had to do with the element of fire. The second one looked like it's tail had to do with the element of fire, but it was the biggest of the three. Standing in the center, it glared down at him with hatred and fury, ready to crush him at a moment's notice! The third was the least obvious of why it was with the element of fire. It stood to his right, floating highest in the sky above the ground while having it's arms crossed against it's chest. All three looked at each other as they each created a ball of fire in front of them as they fired it at him.

... Then all was blank for a bit, as he stood there in the real world, staring off into space.

Elizabeth smiled and handed him her map.

"Here maybe you can find it on.... Ah!" Elizabeth was cut off when a girl raced into her.

Elizabeth heard a loud smack and the sound of plastic breaking. She looked down to see the girls lap top sitting on the pavement. Elizabeth hoped it hasn't broken though the sound of rattling when the girl picked it up made Elizabeth guess that it had.

"It's alright, it seems bumping into people is something I'm good at too." She said looking at tony with a small smile.

"I hope your lap top isn't broken to much." She said trying to give the most sympathetic look she could. Elizabeth turned back to tony and smiled.

"Can you find it on there?" Elizabeth asked with a smile.
