Chapter 21
Slamming the door shut I sink to the floor soaking the floor with the water that is dripping off of me. Feeling the pressure of mind links I know they are from the sparks as my parents are too far away and the few warriors we have here wouldn't be linking me unless there was a problem. Taking time to calm down and let myself break down. Praying to the goddess for some help and guidance. After a while, I collect myself finish my shower, and slip into some sweats. Slipping in bed making sure my window is cracked before I roll over and let the darkness take over.
Waking with the pain burning through my chest screaming in silent pain. Sooner than the first time I pull my magic back in jumping from bed to rush to a cold shower. Screams from Janet have me dropping to a defensive position. Still trying to pull in all the magic and fight the pain I lost control and my wings slipped out blazing on fire. The fear on her face caused me to panic. Flames start jumping from me like electric sparks on a broken line. Smoke fills the room as my bed starts to smolder. “shit shit shit okay hold stop yelling please.” I rush out trying to pull the flames back in. After what felt like two lifetimes there's banging on the door. Just as it flies open I get the last flame out and my breathing back to normal. Luna Bronwyn and alpha Liam are standing in the doorway. Looking around sheepishly I wave at them. “Ummm hi. I bet you're wondering well” waving my arms around the room. Janet took that moment to sprint from the room I can't blame her. Plopping down on the bed I look up at the ceiling “maybe I should move I cant put others in danger. Or maybe I should just go home ill call my father in the morning. I will pay for the damage I am so sorry auntie I didn’t mean for it. He broke the spell and well we all know what he was doing. I can't stay here and put everyone in danger.” dropping my shoulders thinking hard trying to find a solution to my problem.
Auntie Bron dropped down next to me on my bed uncle Liam closed the door coming to squat down in front of me. “you cant leave and maybe your right about sharing a room with someone. You and I both know your fathers would let you come home but would you be happy with yourself?” he asks and I shake my head. For one uncle Liam and my dad grew up in the same house with the same values never fun from your problems. Hiding is for cowards. I can hide from myself but I can't put anyone at risk either. “I will speak with Janet tomorrow and we will find a room for you in the meantime. But until then you will have to stay here. You know this could all be over if you told me who your mate is I could do the bond block spell.” shaking my head as aunt Bron finished. They would need his blood to do the block because he's a witch and not a wolf. Sighing she nods “I understand. You are too much like your father.” uncle Liam chuckles “which one?” I ask “both” they say together. With a wave of her hand auntie cleared the smoke from the door and reset the alarm. My pillow was a little crispy on one corner but it could have been worse.
After they left I crawled back into bed and wait for darkness to take over. Sitting up when I hear the door crack open. Janet slowly makes her way back in. “I am sorry and the deans will be looking for a new room for me ill be packing in the morning.” I tell her the light flicks on and Janet is staring at me “no no it's fine I had some time to think things over and it's okay. I thought you said your bloodline had witch? Where did the wings of fire come from?” a look of pure wonder covers her face so I shrug “no clue its new” not a total lie the wings I’ve had since I was 13 them being on fire that's new. “so are you sure its real witch blood in your line could it be something else. I mean that would be so cool to be what? Ummm what are they called?” waving her hands in the air. “fae?” I ask. Jumping in her spot nodding her head “I mean they said they are just fairy tales but maybe they are real right? I mean we can't be the only ones with the magic right so something else has to be out there maybe your that something else.” she starts pacing making me dizzy both with her walking and words.
“have you ever had your blood analyzed?” she asks “cause I just learned in my magical animal class we are gonna analyze blood to see if we can figure out the creature just from the traits of the blood. I could ask the professor if it would work for any magical being?” thinking it over when she starts making odd noises and pointing to me. “what?” “your locket changed shape and color like I saw it happen what is it?” “look I don’t know its been a long night I just want to go to bed okay?” laying down rolling over placing her to my back. Letting a few stray tears fall before I close my eyes. Listening to Janet pace the room for what seemed like hours before I hear the click of the light being turned off. The sounds of her making her way to bed and sliding under her blankets. Tomorrow is going to be a long day. The last thing I feel is white-hot pain sliding across my neck and blackness taking over.
