The light of my heart?

Chapter 15: ~Friends or enemies?~

- You're alive ... and did you just talk ?! .- the young man shouted with a great blush that covered his cheeks .- Did you hear everything?

- Yes.- she replied with a big smile.- but I won't tell you anything more about that if you free me from this place.

- It does not bother me at all that you tell me something about what I said, but I was surprised that you are alive and in this territory.

On the other part, Amanda only went to the opposite side to go with the other body. Upon reaching the lake, she entered it, even though her dress was beginning to drag her into the depths because the fabric was absorbing the water and being several layers, swimming and staying afloat became a very complicated task.

- Hey, if you're alive?.- She extended her arm when she saw that they were closer to the small piece of land.- Please.- she wave a hand or speak.

She desperately began to move her hands to avoid being dragged into the depths while she waited for some sign of her body, but there was no response from it. Her arms began to ache from fatigue from wanting to stay afloat, really, he was tired to maintain a constant rhythm so as not to drown.

With no response from her body, she only let out a sigh and with what little strength she had left she tried to swim towards the shore, but to her surprise a moan was heard behind her that made her turn and start swimming again towards the her body.

- You can get up? .- The girl questioned him when she saw that he began to move.

- Yes.- he replied.

- Try to sit on what came towards you to be able to free yourself more easily.

She was tired but she would do everything to help someone even if she was exhausted she would not refuse.

Upon reaching him, she with difficulty climbed onto the piece of land and then removed the cloth sack that covered the boy's face.

- Are you okay?

-Yes ... and maybe better than you.-he smiled keeping him eyes closed.- I see that nothing has changed, Air.

- W-what?!. How do you know that ?! and who are you?! .- The young woman shouted, perhaps astonished or worried about what the young man had told her since multiple theories appeared in her mind, betraying her, and she did not want them to be true. Trying to maintain the composure of her that she had lost a few moments ago, she let out a sigh and feigning calm and seriousness she asked him a question very different from the previous ones.

- I will answer each of your questions, but first give me the crystal of water.- the jet-haired young man just extended his hands towards the girl.- please.

- If you don't answer the questions, I won't give it to you.- she crossed his arms.- Because you may be the enemy.

- Obviously I am not Poverty, much less Death.- he opened him eyes.- Because he has purple eyes.

- But how do you know that I am Air? and most importantly ... how do you know what Death looks like, did you see it? .- She looked him in the eyes waiting for a congruent explanation, to which the opposite only smiled.- What do you think is funny?

- It's not that I'm laughing at you but ... I know it's you because we are elements created by the moon, obviously I had to feel your family presence as you should have felt mine. did you notice immediately when you entered the place?

- Yes I did but ... what do you mean that we were created from the moon? That's relatively impossible.- she frowned.- I don't believe you.

- Agh, Air.- He pouted.- Give me my crystal and then I'll explain everything to you.

- No. Also, you didn't answer my other question, have you seen the last horseman of the Apocalypse in person?

- Look, the water crystal only activates with its wearer.- he changed the subject to try to free himself as quickly as possible, causing the opponent to only frown since he had realized what the boy had done. If it doesn't respond to me, you can take it away from me and leave me in this place. But remember that an unactivated crystal cannot be used by a rider.

- And if they can't use them ... why did they have them? .- He crossed his arms without noticing that he had fallen into the change of subject that the boy had made.

- Because they were waiting to capture the four elements and having us under their mercy, they would give us the crystals to activate them with a single touch and then they would assassinate us to create an imbalance in the world. to give me my crystal to get out of here the four of us.

Amanda was hesitating about handing over the crystal until all that storm that had been created in her mind was dispelled by the voice of Ethan, who was yelling at her for the crystal of earth.

- Amy, I need the emerald of the earth elemental! .- she yelled with a clear tone that denoted the boy's concern, so without hesitation the girl threw the crystal at him and then received a look full of happiness from the blonde. - we will stop all this, and when we dothe four of us can live without worries.

-Ethy, how are you sure they are not our enemies? .- she asked doubtfully about her decision to give the crystal to the boy.

- Because my heart tells me.- she smiled.- And that's all I need to guide me.

- But you also need to listen to your mind, you don't have to rely only on your hunch.- she said with a clear expression of annoyance without avoiding looking away from her.- You must be more analytical.

The words spoken by her brown-haired one made him feel a big hole in her chest, bringing the bitter words of her parents. It was too low a blow, which made him lose himself in nothingness letting her beautiful emerald orbs lose their brilliance from him.

- ...

The silence that was accompanied by the sound of the leaves of the trees that were subtly moved by the air was the only thing that was heard in the place, the discomfort was present and along with it the guilt of not having explained well to the young man .

Amanda felt her heart shrink at the sight of Ethan's disheveled countenance, so in order for her to come to herself, she had to clarify what she really wanted to communicate to the blonde from the beginning.

- Ethy, do not think I said that with the intention of hurting or offending you but ... I.- her words were stopped by her own nerves, but when she felt a tap from the jet that was behind her, she felt a little safer to speak.- I don't want to lose you, I don't want you to leave me alone, maybe I haven't told you but you are ... you are ...

- What am I?.- he asked, still keeping her lost gaze somewhere in the lush vegetation.

- You are the most important and special thing that I have! .- he shouted in response.- I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU! I don't want to be hurt ... sniff .. I don't want to. Tears just thinking about what might happen if they trusted those two.- Trying to contain and erase every trace of her tears, she looked at the boy as he extended his arm to her. -Sniff ... I never meant to make you cry. I'm a fool and I don't deserve your tears.

- Amy ... me. - squeezing the emerald that was in his hands, he only turned his back on the girl, not because he felt anger at what he had said, but because he knew that seeing her cry hurt the pride of the young woman. So without looking at her he smiled a little at what Amanda had said and said.- Of course you deserve my tears, you deserve all of me because we are both broken and we are the only ones who can repair our wounds. But please help that boy. We lose nothing by giving them the crystal, besides if they turn out to be Earth and water ... we will be victorious from this place.

-Ethan ....

- Easy, my wife. We'll talk after this, but we need to take care of both of them first.

- It's fine.

Without looking at her he left the place to go to where the tied girl was, while Amanda only looked at the boy with black hair and then put the crystal in her hands.

As she came into contact with the boy's skin, the sapphire began to shine and the lake water began to move as if they were in the sea.

- How?!

- That's not all.- he smiled.

Each crash of the waves created by the young man caused Amanda to lose her balance, dropping her into the water.

- What are you doing ?!.- she asked as he tried to prevent the lake water from entering her mouth.- Ahg, are you planning to kill me with your element?

- No.- he replied simply.- I'm just looking with my element for the key found in the depths of this lake.

- Could you at least get me out of here?

- With great pleasure.

With just moving one of her fingers, a bundle of water covered Amanda and then took her to the shore of the lake and then released her to return to her place of origin.

Surprised by the power they could acquire by having her crystals in their hands, she did not realize when the boy had freed himself from her, well that was until the young man touched Amanda's shoulder to get her out of her thoughts. .

- So your name is Amy of Air?.- he smiled.

- Ah!.- She screamed in fright. - No, no.- she denied as she tried to normalize her heartbeat and her breathing.- Amy is my nickname, my name is Amanda.- She is a pleasure.- elemental of Water.

-The pleasure is mine Miss Amanda elemental of the air.- he bowed.- My name is Kohei of the Water element.
