in Writing Club8 months ago

"The fortune teller!" Thought Layla's mother. She just couldn't believe that her daughter was a water bender! She didn't know if she should be happy or surprised. So she just chose both. Little did Layla know, that joy in her mom's face was fake.

For those who missed it: The Great Water Bender (part 1)

After the crazy discovery, Layla's mom started acting weird, she started avoiding Layla, stuttering while she talked, etc. Layla was really confused. Even more confused when the fortune teller told her that she had powers. She had never expected this in her life! She thought her mom loved her.

Then.. one day on her 15 birthday, Layla's mother was lighting the candles and Layla was watching her light the candles. Until she noticed she wasn't holding a lighter Layla squinted her eyes still she couldn't see it. So she asked her. "Hey mom where is the lighter? Are you a fire bender now? Haha." Layla's mom didn't laugh with her. Instead she just stared at her for a few seconds then she looked down at the floor in shame. She said "I knew you were going to figure out one day." Layla immediately understood what was happening. She stood there in shock. She said "Why did you never tell me this before!? You promised me that we would never keep secrets after dad died! I thought I could trust you!"

A tear ran down Layla's cheek. Until she couldn't take it anymore. She formed a water dragon with her powers then yelled "ATTACK!" The dragon charged at Layla's mom.

Layla's mom dodged the dragon and she tried to defeat it with her fire powers. When Layla saw this she realized that water defeats fire so she attacked her mom on her own. They both jumped out of the window wrestling. Layla's mom finally got her to get off her. Layla formed a giant ice wall to block her attack. Layla's mom melted it in seconds! It was a brutal fight Layla formed 2 dragons now, 1 ice dragon, and a water dragon they fought for 10 minutes!

By the time they were done, everyone was surrounding them taking photos and making videos to post on the internet. Layla's mom said "Look at what you did. Everyone is looking at us." To that, Layla replied "They are all here because they want answers, like me." Layla's mom took a step back. She wasn't sure of what to say. Until she realized that they didn't need to fight, Layla just needed some love.

So Layla's mom started walking towards her with her arms wide open, ready for a hug. Layla understood what she was trying to do and she ran over to her and hugged her back. In the middle of the hug, Layla burst into tears and said "I am so sorry I tried to hurt you. I never wanted to do that." Layla's mom replied with "It's ok, I understand. You were just not ready to hear that. I love you sweetheart." Layla's mom kissed Layla on the forehead softly. Layla's mom said " You wanna go to the beach?" Layla agreed.
