Electra 1 - How it Begin

I woke up the next morning and went up to my room. I fell on the pillow and laid there. I wanted to get up and fly. I knew they would have a go at me but I didn't care. I put on a pair of blue jeans and a black top. I climbed on to the window seal and opened the window. I looked down and saw George and Jonathan. They looked up and ran. They were in my room in two seconds flat. I smiled and fell. My wings grew and I flew up past the window. They stared at me and I waved goodbye. I flew to Red Panthers HQ and sent out a message to Vlad. He was on the top of the roof in a couple of minutes. "What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I need your help. Can you teach me to fly?" I replied.

"Is that all?"

"Can you help me make friends with Blades again?" I said. He nodded and agreed to meet at lunch. I had to keep this information from the boys and they were already in a mood with me. I decided to stay in my room all day. I got back with Vlads help and flew through my window. Flame, Slither, George and Jonathan were there. "What the hell were you thinking?" Slither shouted.

"I was thinking that I needed to test my wings." I shouted back.

"With who?" George asked.

"None of your business." I replied and blocked him out of my mind. He looked into my eyes and I stared back. He backed off and I didn't know why. They left and I was left alone for the whole morning. I didn't want to use my wings so I went out the front gate. No one asked where I was going so that was alright. Me and Vlad met up at a cafe and then went to the human realm. Blades was expecting Vlad but not me. I wanted to say sorry to him for not being there for him. I hoped he would say it's alright and then we could get on with training. We saw Blades waiting for us outside and I ran a head to talk to him alone. "Hi I thought I could help you with training." I said. "Why?" He asked.

"Because the old Electra is making a comeback." I replied. He didn't look convinced. "What will it take for you to forgive me?"

"Come to my birthday." He said. I nodded. He jumped up and wings grew out of his back. I didn't know he could do that. Of all the things he could do. His were similar to mine. They were light blue going into black. It was amazing. I jumped up and my wings grew too. Vlad took us to an abandoned piece of land for us to practice. "First of all you need to learn to control your wings. At the moment they come out whenever you leave the ground." It was fun to be taught for a change. After Slithers and Flame I was glad to do something fun. Now and then it's better to get away from the fighting. It was around 5 o'clock when we had to get back. "Before you go I have a present for you two." Vlad said and gave us a gem. "It's a teleporting gem. Hold it and say where you want to go." I tried it out and I was teleported back to Peaceaver. I wouldn't tell anyone about my special training. The main thing was that Vlad and Blades forgave me. George and Jonathan were in my room waiting for me. They didn't say anything and just signalled me to follow them. We went to Flames office. We went in and sat down. "We have a plan to catch Vlad. He has caused too much destruction this afternoon." Slither said. I didn't know what he was on about. I had been with him and Blades all afternoon. I felt something poking my brain and put up a shield quickly. "Electra we know what we need to do with your help." I shook my head and walked out. George followed me and grabbed my arm. "Why won't you help us? You are on our side aren't you?"

"Yes, and I all ways will be. I just can't do this after what he did for me."

"What help you and control you."

"No! He didn't control me. He helped me when you cut me." I shouted. We had agreed never to speak of it again but he was pushing his luck. "Electra put down the shield and let me see why!" He replied. "No! You can't just go through my brain when you want!" I shouted and said training room. I was teleported there and I locked the door and put up the shield. The training rooms can also be used as bunkers and block out people with magic. I curled up in a corner and cried. I couldn't betray Vlad when he was helping me and Blades. I couldn't betray everyone here because then they would suspect something. I had to talk to someone and I knew who. I opened to door and Loki was there. He took my hand and we went. We didn't go back home. We were in the cave again but we went back and into a secret opening. They saw my surprised face and smiled. "Why did you call me?" Loki asked.

"I need advice. I don't know who to choose." I replied.

"Out of George and Vlad." Tommy said.

"Not just that. Good or bad." I said. They didn't say anything for a while. They must have known how bad I had it. "Have you got any elemental powers yet?" Alex asked.

"Just once. I was mad at Vlad and I was throwing lightning. Then I started to throw fire." I replied. They looked at me shocked. Loki got a mirror and showed me my reflection. My eyes were on fire. I looked at my brothers and ran. I didn't know what was going on. I shifted into a fox and ran faster. I heard wolfs behind me. I shifted back and told them to go away. They shifted and came next to me. "Electra you aren't hurting us." John said.

"I am. I'm dangerous. I can't do it. Everywhere I go I cause pain and destruction." I jumped up and my wings appeared. I flew up higher then Vlad had taught us. He said if we flew to high up we could hurt ourselves. I flew through the clouds until they were the ground. I didn't know what to do. I was supposed to help Black Cat and defeat Red Panthers. I was supposed to do what people wanted. I couldn't do that. I couldn't do what other people wanted me to do. I couldn't go against friends. I wanted to go away. But they would track me. Everyone would. I had a choice. Go back to Peaceaver or go to SO. Someone came up behind me. I didn't care who it was. I was dangerous and they would get hurt. People around me always do. "Electra! Stop thinking like that!" Vlad shouted. He came in front of me and took my hands. "Look at me!" He said. I didn't look at him. I tried to drop down but he wouldn't let me go. "Choose good." He said and he teleported me to Peaceaver. Flame looked like she had been expecting me. "Are you ready to help?" She asked. I was forced to nod my head by someone and I didn't know who it was. She told me to go back to my room and get some rest. I think George came in and someone else. I fell asleep and I was woken up by Slither. He said we had a meeting that we had to go to. I got up and got dressed and followed him. There was the normal; who was where and what they were doing. Then Flame came on to the new mission. "Electra has formed a close bond with Vlad and can be used as bait to get him." She said. There were murmurs around the table and one said, "Why can't we use George? Aren't they brothers?"

"There have been some complications in the past couple of months and they now hate each other even more." Slither replied. Everyone seemed to understand and Flame carried on. "Electra will be tried with treason and poison and he will come to her rescue. We need to create evidence that she did try to poison me." Flame finished. I didn't want to do it but I had no choice in the matter. The plan was set up and I would try to kill Flame the next night.

The next night came quicker than expected. I had been in simulations all day. I would sneak into Flames room and take out all security cameras. Then I would put a poison in her drink and half choke her. She would take the drink but before she drank it George would come in and grab me. I would be cloaked so Flame couldn't see me and George would have to use magic to find me. Then I would go on trial and be sentenced. Hopefully Vlad would come at some point and he would be captured. If we failed to capture him I would have a tracker so they could get Vlad that way. It went as planned that night and in the morning it was all over the news. Vlad would catch it at some point and come to rescue me. I still had to be treated like a criminal. I was stuck in a cell and had no magic. Even my brothers didn't know about what I was doing until they came to Peaceaver. Flame showed them where I was being held and why. Loki came to me and looked at my eyes. "Why are you doing this? Did he force you? He's changed you and he'll pay." Loki said.

"I did this by myself. I choose evil." I said. I was confident and brave when I said it. He looked shocked and disappointed. He turned and walked away with the others. I hated to lie to them but even they had to believe I had gone evil. It destroyed me inside. Flame knew it would destroy me and she was being extra careful. If it got too much she would have to pull me out altogether.
