"Hey, Launa, we need to go!" Fourteen-year-old James shouted, shoving a few more books into his pack. "Coming! I swear!" A voice floated down the short, rotting, hallway. A girl, about 13, was packing with her cousin to leave. Why? Because people were Hunting for them. Recently, it was discovering that Launa could be an Elemental. In a society that was... well, non-magical, magic folk - called Elementals- were rare. And extremely valuable. So, they were running. Through a mountain range. To find their parents, hide from the Hunters,...
