Gem of Eternal Elements Chapter 4: Tsunami Awaits
Bourne sat in his room waiting for his mother to call him. Ever since his father passed away his mother has been overprotective lately. He sighed kicking his heels right by the bed as he looked out the window. Ms. Anahita never gave her son a chance to make friends - he was homeschooled which was why she would lock Bourne in his room.
Bourne groaned as he got up from his bed and ran to the bathroom, he lifted the lid and threw up in the toilet. Bourne threw up 6 times and his side was hurting as he was heaving and threw up the last time. When he was finished he notice blood swirling around the chunk of throw-up. He hasn't eaten for three weeks because he couldn't keep his food down. Bourne got up and went to the mirror and examined himself. He was sweating while his white black hair damped over his face, he notice he had dark circles around his eyes as he was breathing slowly breathing skipping every heartbeat. Bourne picked his shirt up and saw his rib cage showing out of his side seeing it. He put his shirt back down and sighs Bourne knows soon his time is up - he was sick. He got out of the bathroom and notice a letter on a pillow. The young Prince picked it up, tore it open, and read.
Dear Prince Bourne,
This letter you read will change your life, you and a few kids are invited on a dangerous journey to see things you've never seen before. Are you tired of being left out - tired of someone judging you - tired of not having an adventure and tired of hiding? Then come to the Gounge and wait and see.
Yours truly, unknown.
Bourne read it seeing it as a sign - a sign for him to make friends. Bourne threw the letter on the bed as he changed out of his clothes and wore just a sweatshirt and black jeans. He went back to the bathroom and brushed his teeth and hair and cleaned his face. When he exited the bathroom he suddenly became even paler as he notices his mother standing by the door. Ms. Anahita was a pretty woman with pale blue-white skin, her dark white curly hair was in a messy bun and her horns were nowhere to be seen, and her ice-blue eyes were drooping as if she didn't sleep for weeks. The Queen looked at her son up and down and licked her lips. "Hello, my beautiful son." She said, coming up to her son and grabbing him by the waist pulling Bourne closer.
Bourne squeaked as he tried to pull away from his mother, but Ms. Anahita didn't let go she just gripped him close and growled seductively as he licked Bourne's cheeks and moved her hands on her son's butt and gave it a rough squeeze. Bourne yelped and pushed his mother away from him, but was slapped hard in the face and kicked in the shin. "Don't ever disrespect your mother." Ms. Anahita went out of the door and then came back and Bourne noticed his mother holding a role and a cloth. The Queen rushed to her son, but Bourne got up and tried to run to the door, but was pulled back by the rope which was wrapped around his neck as he was struggling to breathe. Ms. Anahita was quite strong as she threw her son on the bed and grabbed another rope and tied his hands to the headboard. She grabbed the cloth and wrapped it around his face blinding him. She grabbed the ropes that were around his neck and choked him. Bourne was moving around as tears were drowning down his eyes, he tried to scream but then he spits out blood and he was struggling to breathe, the 15-year-old Prince couldn't see anything as his eyes became blurry then all of a sudden he fainted. "Oh son, I'm going to have so much fun." Bourne couldn't hear what her mother said as she kissed his lips.

3 hours later..........

Bourne woke up and notice that the cloth was blinding him anymore. He looked around and saw his mother was gone.
He can't believe his mother raped him.
Again.
He sighed as he looked down and saw that he was naked and covered in bruises. He was cold and couldn't cover his body because he was tired from the bed, Bourne just cried as he felt heat running up and down his body as he glowed red - he held onto the ropes as it lit up and fire and burned away. He moved his hands away from the bed and looked at his hands in shock. He never knew he had that kind of power. Bourne threw on his clothes and tried to find the letter and saw it was on the floor, he picked it up and put it in his pocket, but had a hole in it, so he just held onto it. He sighed as he cried tears burned his face and the black specks were Irving around his eyes. His hands glowed blue and his hair was burned to ashes and his hands turned into a fireball and threw it - reserving the portal. Bourne didn't look shocked as he sped into the portal closing it. Bourne sped to the Gounge tears streaming down his cheeks as he was blurred by tears. He didn't look where he was going until he felt pain running through his head and fell to the ground-hugging himself. Tears were still streaming down his cheeks, fearing his mother caught him and is gonna punished him. Bourne looked up and saw a hand, he grabbed onto the hand and the person hauled him up.
"I'm sorry I should've watched where I was going." Bourne wiped away his tears and noticed that he wasn't holding the letter and saw it was on the ground.
"No, you don't have to do that. It was me who didn't look where I was going."
Bourne sighed as he picked up his letter and wiped the mud off of it. "I'm Bourne." He introduced himself.
"Seraphina." Seraphina was super gorgeous. She had ashen skin, fiery orange-red hair, and amber eyes. "Do you mind me asking, but is that the letter to the Gounge?" Seraphina said eyeing the young boy's envelope.
He nodded. "Yeah, I was going there right before this happened." The prince chuckled, softly.
"Yeah, I have one too, maybe we could go together." She said.
Bourne nodded. "Yeah, but let's get there faster."
"What do you m-" Bourne cut her voice out as he sighed. His hands glowed blue and his hair was turning to ashes as he made a fireball and threw it reserving a portal. The portal sparked and Bourne heard Seraphina say 'I didn't know Xinc's can make fire portal.' Just when the portal was about to close, Bourne grabbed Seraphina's hand and ran to the portal while it closed. They landed on their feet and looked around. Bourne saw that they were in the Vilank Forest which is also the Gounge and saw a table with a couple of chairs and a few teens starting at Bourne and Seraphina in shock. Bourne and Seraphina both sat down on the last chairs.
Bourne looked at the teens as the teens looked at them. Seraphina spoke. "I'm Seraphin and this Bourne."
"I'm Aspen." He had pale skin with blue-white hair and grey ends and baby blue eyes.
"I'm Iclyn, Aspen's big sister." Iclyn had ashen skin with blue-white hair and pale blue eyes.
"I'm Cypress and this is my twin sister Bianca." Cypress was beautiful. He had ivory skin with golden blonde hair and bright blue-violet eyes that were hidden by glasses that made his eyes huge. Bianca had ivory skin with white-blonde hair and dark blue eyes. "I'm Aspen's boyfriend."
"I'm Hermione, Sierra's best friend." Bourne's heart was beating fast as he looked at Hermione. She had lime green skin with pale green eyes and jet black hair. She was stunning.
"I'm Dion, also Sierra's best friend." Dion was a human with turquoise eyes and jet black hair.
"And I'm Sierra." Sierra had green skin, long red curly hair, and dark green eyes.
As minutes passed by each of them talked to each other when they heard a noise. Bourne and the others looked up as the clouds got dark and a yellow beam showed out of the sky and into the ground. The young teens coughed out the dirt as they saw the yellow beam turn into a person - a man. He had golden skin with black marks, black-purple hair, and dark blue eyes. He smiled showing his sharp teeth. "Welcome to the Gounge." He said.
Everyone looked at each other as they looked back at the mysterious man hoping what would come next.
