Trinity Awakening by K.L. Morton Page B

fell hard on her left side hearing the sound of a loud snap with the impact. Feeling a shooting pain in her left arm she bit her bottom lip to suppress her cry. Sitting up slowly, Trinny looked around to see how she fell, she put her hand on her elbow and felt moisture, when she looked at her hand there was blood. Oh great , she thought, now I have another reason to look like a useless idiot.
                  "Are you alright?" Garus held out his hand to Trinny to help her up.
                  "Just a scratch." Although she could feel it was a little more than a normal scratch as her arm was starting to get more painful. Garus pulled Trinny up with her good arm and looked at her bleeding elbow. 
                  "That is not good." He said with a scrunched up look on his face like a kid who just had his dinner plate filled with brussels sprouts.
                  "Do you get faint at the sight of blood Garus?" Emma teased as she approached. "Eww...Trin, that is just plain gross. Can't believe I just used the word 'gross', that is so 80's." 
                  "Emma, it's only a bit of blood, it'll be fine". Trinny was feeling her arm get even more painful by the minute, but she thought it must just be a nasty scrape.
                  "What's wrong?" Nina stood up to see what all the fuss was about. "Oh, that is revolting, I'm usually good with blood, but that's extra bad." Trinny had had about enough comments and painfully lifted her arm to see what everyone was going on about. When she saw the broken bone that was now poking out of her arm she felt very faint and started to sway a bit, the pain was growing and her head was now starting to spin. She suddenly felt strong arms around her back and then under her, did someone just pick me up ? She thought, but everything was going a little blurry. 
    Aarion placed Trinny at the foot of a huge tree in between two large roots so she would feel steady.               
                  "You've broken your arm Trinny." Emma started to rummage around in her bag. "I know I have a first aid kit in here, it has a bandage." Trinny was feeling very dazed, she felt her good arm fall to the ground, the earth was cool and moist, it felt so calming in her hand. She could hear the others talking, deciding how they could help her, but the pain was lessening. "What's happening?" Emma said as she came toward Trinny with a bandage. 
                  "Look at her arm." Garus said in amazement. 
    The cool feeling of the forest floor was now spreading up Trinny's arm and across her chest. It felt so good. It travelled into her injured arm and relieved all the pain, her head was feeling clearer. She lifted her eyes to see everyone looking at her with faces of disbelief.
                  "It can't be that bad, I don't even feel any pain. Why are you looking at me like that?" But no one spoke; Emma lifted her hand and pointed at Trinny's injured arm. Trinny looked down and saw that her whole lower half was covered in a dark brown dirt substance, it was moving over her body like it was alive. She wasn't scared, it felt natural, like she had jumped into the ocean and was taking a refreshing swim, she felt weightless and renewed. Trinny and the others watched as the dark brown substance moved down her injured arm and then proceeded to leave her skin and go back into the earth where it came from. She looked at her arm and it was no longer injured, it looked perfect, like the skin had never even been grazed. 
                  "Of course! Healing powers, my Gran told me the Earth Elementals had gifts of healing, impressive." Nina said with a hint of respect in her voice. 
                  "How are you feeling? That was totally weird and cool at the same time." Emma was down at Trinny's side now, examining her arm. 
                  "I feel great, like I could climb
