Trista screamed. She was sure that Linh was hiding her smirk behind her hand.

she fell another hundred feet before she called a wave to catch her. Five feet flew away before the wave caught her, and then she was underwater, crashing and tumbling nowhere in particular. Trista was having trouble finding air, and she was beginning to panic.

Calm down, she told herself. She looked up to the surface. ''There is air. Right there. Swim UP!''

She calmed down. Then she swam up. As soon as she hit the surface, she took a deep gulp of air. Then she told the water tip carry her to the island.

Soggy and wet and dripping, Trista sank to the ground. This was going to be a loooongg day. But, admittedly, it was fun.

Lady Linh grinned. "It was fun, wasn't it?"

trista pulled the water out of her clothes. "Yes."

"Well then, do it again. But this time, I think it should be higher up. More of a challenge. No screaming, either."

Trista smirked. "Bring it on." And as she floated up in the air, she could swear that Linh looked proud.

Trista was so tired, she needed to go to Elwin. She couldn't light leap like this. But she waited until after school.

Mostly it was because she needed to leap home with Uncle Elwin, he was eating dinner with them. But maybe, hopefully, Flynn would be there. She sighed, adjusting her brunette hair with blonde highlights before walking in the door to Elwins office.

flynn was there, wrapping up a Level One's hand before he turned around. "You're Trista, right?"

Trista was glad she could blame her red cheeks f or the running. "Yes."

He pointed to Elwin's office. "Elwin is in there doing paperwork. He said you might stop by."

she walked in the door and shut it. "Hi Uncle Elwin ."

He looked up. "Triss! How's my girl?"

She sank into a chair. " Fine. "

He got up and moved to chair next to her. "You can't lie to me. I know when your tired."

She decided to go for a quick subject change. "You look tired. What have you been doing today? "

Elwin snapped his fingers and an orange orb appeared. He put his glasses on. "Level Ones and Elementism don't go. And nice subject change, but I caught that. "

Trista shrugged. "I figured it was worth a go."

Elwin snapped his fingers and an blue orb appeared. He flashed it around her face. "You're tired. And dehydrated. You know as a Hydrokinetic -"

"-I need more water than the rest of you. I know, you've told me before," Trista finished for him.

" i supposed I have. I guess Flynn left, so we should go to your house. But first, " he handed her three vials, "drink these"

She chugged them.

she felt so much better after.

and then, they light leaped to Trista's house.
