can defend us better.”
    “Does the Oracle's protection spread into the water?” I asked, rising with Brielle's hand in mine to walk to the front of the boat.
    “I'm not sure. I think so because her dad would take her out in the boat, but not this far. Maybe about a mile outside the harbor, so that may be where it ends,” she answered.
    “How much farther until we reach it?” I asked, anxious to reach the harbor before the approaching boats reached us.
    “A few more miles, at least,” she answered. Damn, we weren't going to make it in time!
    “Fuck! Brielle, stay by me!” I yelled. She nodded, and the fear in her eyes pained me. I didn't want her to fear anything now that we had found each other. I wanted her to know that I would always protect her, and that I would never let anything happen to her.
    “I'll go to the back and watch for them. I'll try to keep them back, but it depends on how many there are,” she stated.
    I felt them closing in, and anger started coursing through my veins. They would not take Brielle from me again. The speedboat engines got increasingly louder as they caught up to us, and without looking I knew there were about twelve Elementals spread between four boats.
    Kimber was creating huge waves, crashing them into the enemy boats, but the other Water Elementals quickly compensated by calming the waters before sending their own waves back to us. Three huge waves were about to crash into us, but they hit some sort of invisible barrier, and streamed over top of us and off to the sides instead. I looked to Kimber to see if she was erecting the protective shield around us, but she shook her head. We both looked to Brielle, whose eyes were shining a brilliant platinum. She had her arms extended over her head, supporting the invisible armor around the boat. I could see different Elementals throwing various attacks at us, but they all bounced harmlessly off.
    I stared in awe as Brielle shoved her arms forward forcefully, causing an enormous wave to form that was at least sixty feet high. Sweat creased her brow as she pushed the wave until it overcame the boats, capsizing them and creating a vortex in the water, which sucked all the Elementals in until they were no longer visible. Then, her eyes rolled back in her head as she collapsed.

 
     
     
    My head was pounding as I started to stir from my sleep. I could feel a tingling sensation along the edge of my forehead as someone caressed my hair, and I heard a panicked voice pleading, “Please, please, mi amante, wake up. I just found you. I can't lose you. Not now, not ever.”
    It was all coming back to me: the club, Jace, the Elementals in the alley, that touch, those kisses, and the boat. Oh my God, the boat! I had done some crazy shit on the boat to save us, and then blackness.
    “Jace?” I hoarsely whispered, wondering how long I'd been out for my voice to sound like that.
    “Yes, baby, I'm right here. Oh God, you don't know how happy I am that you're awake,” he said, relief flooding his voice.
    I opened my eyes, surprised that I was in my bedroom, and alone with Jace for that matter. I looked to him as I asked “What happened?”
    Jace chuckled, a sound I was already falling in love with. “You collapsed after your stunt with the wave. Nothing we did would wake you, Brie. You have been passed out for nine hours—I have never been so scared in my life.”
    “I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you,” I quietly said. “Why did I pass out?”
    “I don't know for sure, but I think the exertion of using so much of your powers for the first time overwhelmed you. How did you do all that anyway? I've never seen an Elemental do that before,” he stated.
    “I should be asking you that question—I don't even know what Elementals are capable of. I have no idea what's going on,” I answered.
    “True. Maybe your instincts kicked in and took over. Let's get your dad and Kimber in here—they have been dying for you to wake up,” he said as
