Ocean
~~
Makai held my hand all the way to the pool. He didn't even let go of it when we were once again in front of his parents. I just stood there, shaking with fear, as they looked at me with their intense eyes.
"Alright, Ocean, you can get into the water now. Let the change come to you and don't fight it." Mrs. Rivers was instructing me and telling me what to do.
"You don't have to get all the way into the water if you don't want to." Makai added as he gripped my hand tighter. "You can just sit at the edge and put your feet into the water. That should be enough for you to change."
"O..O..O..OK."Β
I nodded at Makai and went to sit at the edge of the pool. He came with me of course and sat down next to me, still holding my hand. With Makai's encouraging look, and the feel of his hand in my own, I let the magic wash over me when the water touched my skin. I didn't fight it like I had been.
