Three weeks later.
[Rose's P.O.V.]
I had been training with Alonso every day. Eventually, I had been able to summon and control other elements besides hellfire. I had also been able to set up a simple barrier to defend myself against others' attacks. My strength, endurance, and stamina had significantly increased. By now, telekinesis, mind reading, and telepathy had become second nature to me.
But I never let my guard down, going all out for every session for two main reasons: 1) Susanna had said that the increase in my abilities and power would mean that her magic barrier would become less and less effective in masking me from others - Nicholas must be getting closer and closer with each passing day; and 2) Since I ws adamant that I would never let Charlotte kill Alonso, I had to make sure that I had mastered my abilities to the furthest extent to compensate the potential 'lack' in power I would have if I allowed Charlotte to unlock her powers.
