Chapter 1

It's a typical Saturday in Florida. The temperature was in the high eighties but the humidity made it feel like it was one-hundred degrees or so. On the wooden porch of a custom home sat three teenagers. The only male had dull red hair that hung just down to his blue eyes. Anyone passing by could tell he was the tallest and the oldest of the three.

Across from where he sat on the floor sat two girls huddled on a bench swing. The one closest to the house sat taller and looked older than the other girl. She had dirty blonde curly hair that fell to her shoulders. Unlike her brother she had brown eyes. The last girl on the porch was the youngest. She had brown hair that hung to the middle of her back. She had blue eyes that made the raging ocean seem clam.

"Sam ... Sam ... SAM!" yelled a tall boy racing up the driveway.

"Uhhh..." Sam said as he woke. "What do you want?" the kid in front of Sam was a tall lean six foot teen. He had blue eyes and short brown hair.

"You'll never guess what I got!" the tall kid said with excitement. "Samantha, Amber come on over." The two girls got off the porch swing and slowly walked to the new guy.

"Ok, ok, ok so Cody what is it?" asked Amber, the youngest.

Cody took out what looked like and old battered book that smelled strongly of medicine and deodorizer. He laid it down on the porch in between all of them. "I got it from my grandpa, he lived in a retirement home," Cody explained.

"Ok that explains the smell but, what is it?" Sam asked. Having a love for books Sam wanted to know if it was worth reading.

"No clue."

Showing almost no interest in the book the two girls return to the porch swing and continue their whispering. Sam quickly snatched up the book and started to finger through the yellow musty pages.

"I can't read any of it. It seems to be some weird language," Cody said when he saw the look of excitement on Sam's face.

"You have to be kidding me. What do you mean you can't read this? It is in perfect English. Well ok not perfect but I feel like I know what the words mean," Sam exclaimed. Sam held the book up to reveal to Cody a picture with some lines representing wind blowing. "Right here it says 'To grant the power of anika' I think that means air," Sam said reading from the book.
