Three girls snapped awake. The fourth sat watching them. Her eyes glowed faintly in the dark. Eight eyes met, six fearful, two calm. Then the eyes of the first three girls fell shut again.

About five minutes later, the girls sat up. They all looked at each other, their eyes bleary, their minds still half asleep. A thought passed between them, and they opened their eyes wide. "Did we just...?"

"Uuh..."

"Yeah?"

"No." They turned to Ari. "I did it. I'm psychic."

"Oh, pull the other one."

"Stand up." Ana looked at Ari, wondering what she was up to.

"Okay, easy." She tried to stand, but it was like her legs were glued to the ground.

"Hey, what's going on!?" She strained against the ground and suddenly went flying as Ari released her grip. Fire burned in Ana's eyes, the tips of her hair burning.

"Fly, open the bush for us." Before she could do anything, Fly's hand moved up and along, the bush parting wide.

"Nam, I think Ana might need a little douse. Care to help?" Her hand went flying, sending water all over Ana. She blushed when the fire spirit turned her burning eyes on her.

"Come on." Ari picked up her backpack and crawled out of the bush. She waved her hand and the other three girls were basically dragged from the 'room.'

"How are you doing this?"

"Yeah, you said you were psychic. Not that you could control us!"

"Remember the police officer? The shop attendant? You, Fly? I was changing your thinking. Controlling it. Now I'm controlling your mind again, just a different part of it."

"Wow."

"What about Nerezza?"

"Well, Fly, she was the one that told me about me being psychic. And she said I needed to have immense power to enter another person's dreamscape without being let in, like we do with each other and Lucia does with us. She said not even an Elementor would have enough power. But I'm not Elementor. But..."

"But?"

"Flidais, you will be the next and the last to enter your Elementor form."

"What, why?"

"I can't use my element. At all. My psychic abilities block it out."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"Come on." Ari waved her hand and the others jerked after her. She closed her eyes and concentrated, then when she looked backwards she saw the girls were walking smoothly. She smiled and walked up to the twisting trees that housed the horses. She waved her hand, Fly waving hers in sinc. The branches opened and the horses rushed out.

The girls leapt onto the horses and Ari freed them from her hold. Then they charged off, the people of the town cheering after the four girls who raced down their streets, off and away.
