The Secrets of the Elements

Advika hid her face with her scarf and came out from her hiding place. "What do you want from us?" she questioned, standing in front of the attacker.

"You, you all," he said, walking towards her.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and stamped her foot on the ground. The boy fell on his knees as the ground beneath them shook slightly.

"Advika, the power of the element Earth," he said as he dusted his black pant and got to his feet.

How does he know my name? Advika thought. She scanned the forest, searching for an escape.

"You can't escape," said the boy.

"Daksh," he heard a voice say. He looked in all directions, searching for the source of the voice.

"Leave them, and leave Azazel's side as well, or else, you will be punished too," said Grantha.

Daksh smirked. "So you've got the book taking now," he said and put his sword back in its sheath.

"Advika, run!" said the book. She, at once, grabbed some dirt on the ground and threw it in his eyes.

Daksh wiped his eyes with his sleeves and ran behind her.

She sped towards the opening of the forest with Daksh following her. He pushed her from behind; she hit the ground.

"Aah!" she cried. Tears slid from her eyes. She injured herself; blood oozing out from her knee.

Daksh tied her hands and picked her up, dragging her with him.
