maintain balance in the world. If there’s an unprecedented Triple—or Quadruple—Elementer, I can see some Elementers thinking that Justin is a sign of a terrible imbalance which can only be corrected by a Multi-Elementer.”
    Raven hadn’t thought of that before. “Do you think that’s true?”
    “No. There’s absolutely no proof that we have this ability because of anything other than some physical anomaly. The same is true for Justin. But I’m more concerned that others might fear Justin, rather than what they may think he represents. No one knows what having access to three or four elements will do to Justin. Will it be too much for him to harness so many elements? If his powers become out of control, either our secret could be exposed or he could cause real damage to himself or others.”
    “I’m sure he’ll be able to harness his powers with practice. There’s nothing to worry about,” Raven said.
    “If he can harness all the elements, than that might be some Elementers’ most serious worry.”
    “That’s crazy. Why would it be a problem if he has his powers under control?”
    “The Elementer records say that Double Elementers didn’t have twice as much strength and power than regular Elementers. The combination of the two elements gave them much greater power. If that’s the case, how much power will Justin develop with three or four elements?” Mr. Hamilton asked.
    “But think of all the good he could do.”
    “Yes, but what if he abused his powers. What–”
    “Of course he wouldn’t abuse his powers!” Raven interrupted fervently, “He may be a little rude, but he isn’t bad. I can sense that much from him.”
    “Yes. Yes. I agree. But some members on the Council may not be comfortable with the fact that they might not be able to control him if necessary.”
    “He’s not theirs to control!”
    “Raven, you know the main purpose of the Council is to make sure that all Elementers obey the rules so that none of us are discovered. They rarely have to play the role of enforcer, but many on the Council take that responsibility very seriously,” Mr. Hamilton gravely reminded her.
    “What are you going to do about it?”
    “I’m going to explain the situation to the Council and try to assure them that I’ll train and keep a very close eye on Justin. Hopefully, that will satisfy them for now. In the meantime, I need you to ensure that Justin avoids speaking to any Elementers until I meet with the Council.”
    Raven stood in the hall trying to convince herself that she had done all she could do. If she couldn’t get Justin’s address from the school, how was she supposed to find him? She was great at feeling Elementers’ energy signature, but Justin was new and thus he had a weak, sporadic connection. The internet wouldn’t be much help. His address wouldn’t be listed online yet since he had moved here just a few days ago.
    Just then, from around the corner, Raven heard one of the two office secretaries. “Helen, I need to take these forms to Mr. Young’s classroom. I’ll be back in about 10 minutes. Can you watch the office for me?”
    “Sure. Go ahead. I’ll cover you,” the other secretary said.
    The thought of stealing Justin’s address popped in Raven’s head. Maybe she could get a glimpse at Justin’s records if she could just distract the remaining secretary. She knew the records were in one of the side rooms off of the office. She had seen one of the secretaries bring her records out when Raven had brought in a form from her mom. Raven’s heart rate suddenly quickened. Was she seriously considering breaking into the office? No. She couldn’t be. Could she? She had never been in trouble for anything at school in her entire life. And now she was suddenly considering breaking into the office? Well, she had never before had a good enough reason to do such a thing. She trusted Mr. Hamilton’s judgment about the importance of keeping Justin quiet for now. Having
