Pov scarlet
"Good morning, Scarlet and Cate!!"Athena Cates's mom says this
when she sees us walk into the house. Good morning, Mrs.Daiz or Mom. Cate and I say back.
"Now Scarlet How many times do I have to tell you to call me? Athena, you have been friends with Hecate and Jorge for so many years now.
Now head out. Hiram and Jorge are outside, waiting to start training you two." Mrs. Daiz says with a smile.
Cate and I head out back and see Jorge and Hiram, her dad and twin brother, setting up to start training.
Hiram, her dad, looks up when he hears us shut the door and smiles.
He waves us over and says good morning to us. Then ne starts to speak and tells us what he wants us to work on today, and we listen.
Hiram tells us he wants us to start moving the boulders from one end of the yard to the other, and we do, and of course, they do it with no problem. But on the other hand, I struggle because I panic like always.
But I do manage to put it down without anyone getting hurt. Next, he tells us he wants us to play with the water and try putting it in the cup without losing control. Jorge does it after spinning the water a little and putting it in the cup without making a mess. Cate does it but loses control a little, but manages to put it in the cup after some coaching. Then it's my turn.
The part I hate-I can never control this part.
I take a deep breath, and I start panicking and losing control, like always. I end up making a waterspout, and it ends up spinning out of control. Athena ends up seeing this from the kitchen window, runs outside, and puts a shield up to block it from hitting us. I'm still panicking and trying to get it under control, but it's too strong. Athena starts talking me through it and tells me to breathe and calm down. About 10 minutes later, it's finally under control and gone. I let out a deep breath and apologized to them for destroying their yard.
"Oh my god! Scarlet, that was badass." Jorge starts to say.
"Yeah, Rose, you are one bad bitch,"
Cate says to me.
"Are you out of your mind? This is why I hate my powers. I can never control them like you can." I scream and run away,
I hear Cate yell my name, telling me to couse back to dato, muste spot, pulling my iPod out of my jeans and listening to Save Me by Jelly Roll.
Because I feel like I'm a lost cause and a danger to everyone around me. I don't understand why I can't just get this stupid magic under control before I end up killing
someone.
"Scar, listen." I turn and see Cate coming over to the log I'm sitting on, and I just look ahead at the field, watching the butterflies and birds flying around free. Cate, have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be free and just fly away from all of this training and the wars between the wolves and the witches?
"No, no, it's all we know, scar." I mean, I know the Alpha and Luna here have always been kind and open to us witches, but they were also disowned by the wolf communities because of their welcoming us witches.
"No, Cate, they were abandoned by the wolves because they were adopted and half-breed. It's my fault that no other pack will stand by them and help us when we need it.
The witches won't even help us; your parent's coven won't even help us, Cate, because they work as healers for my pack," I say.
Let's get you home before Alpha sends a search party for you.
