Blissful Feeling [AW]

A crisp and chilly morning entrapped the mystical world as the sun rose within the sky to announce that it was morning, the rays peaking between the shades covering the window to Bonnie's room. Shining aggravatingly in her face she woke up in annoyance before she turned, reaching for her phone and checking the time. It was only seveon fifteen, but already she knew that sleeping in wasn't an option. Her body was already quickly arousing and she wasn't about to just stay in bed all morning until other people in her family awakened. So, the teenager got up and changed from her fleece pajamas into a pair of tight work out pants and a long sleeve top. With short socks and a pair of running shoes, Bonnie plugged in a pair of head phones into her phone and put the buds into her ears as she went downstairs into the kitchen. Scrummaging through the cupboards, she grabbed a granola bar and a bottled water to place in a gym bag and put it over her shoulders so it rested against her back before feeding her dog and heading out.

Nostrils flared subtly as she took in a deep breath to inhale the cool air around her, gazing out from her porch to take in the quietness and little activity that was occurring. Where she once lived it was normally so active even at such an early hour on the weekend so this was a bit queer to her. A frown caused her mouth to sag and she sighed disappointingly before walking out to the street and beginning to quicken her pace from a walk to a jog, and then to a smooth sprint. Running was her usual form of exercise and it allowed her mind to wander, plus the music that she listened to allowed her to focus on anything but school and other troubling topics.

Bonnie had been running for about a half hour before coming to sudden stop as she gazed upon the river. Sudden memories flooded her mind and she smiled - a true, genuine grin. "Wow..." She breathed as she attempted to regain her composure from her run, legs that were once sprinting for exercise now carrying her to adventure. Sapphire eyes gleamed with remembrance as she brought herself the water's edge, breath still a bit rugged as she stared in awe. The river back home was where she had first discovered her ability... and now here... Bonnie instantly knew that this place would become her favorite and she was already at ease here, her body shifting so she could rest upon a large boulder that resided near the water. Opening the granola bar she began to munch on it whilst her free hand twisted to control a stream of water, making it form into a spiral and making it dance through the air as she simply played around with her power, allowing the memories to take hold of her attention.

It was a weekend without any assigned homework due the following week, so of course Sandra already had some plans laid out for herself. She had a marathon worth of movies she was eager to watch over the weekend due to her abundance of time that she would be lacking during the middle of the school year. Though, it was another day where her body didn’t quite agree with her, but when that happened with Sandra it was usually something far worse than an upset stomach. The minute she woke up, her body was literally radiating with heat. She knew immediately that she had to get out of the building before she burst into flames. She quickly dressed into a flame retardant sweater and a pair of baggy blue jeans. Quickly afterwards she left the building entirely in a steady yet quick pace.

The cool morning air made her incredibly hot and red skin steam. It was a very rare occasion that she was able to venture outside when it was anywhere below twenty degrees (Celsius), that didn’t entirely mean she was enjoying the experience. Her powers were becoming more out of whack which each passing day and she was quite terrified of what that could mean. Given the destructive nature of her ability she was certain it was nothing good.

Sandra’s outdoor wandering eventually led her to the river. It wasn’t because she was seeking it out or anything, in fact Sandra was usually afraid of water since it could potentially kill her if her power were working properly. She usually related water to cold, which wasn’t entirely off. As she followed the river she came across a water bender, doing what water benders do best. Her mind was so blank that her attention was caught by the display of how the girl could manipulate the water into doing everything she willed it to. She spaced out for a moment or two until a loud burst of heated energy shot out of her torso in a ring-like fashion around her body. The blast’s span wasn’t nearly in a close enough radius to the water bender, but a couple trees neighboring Sandra’s person weren’t so lucky. About three trees absorbed the fire shockwave and began to catch flame. “Shit! Shit!” she shouted unpleasantly surprised. She rushed over to the nearest tree and began smacking at it with the sleeve of her sweater to try to suffocate the flames.
