Chapter 10- Who Am I?
That night I couldn't sleep again so I went down to the beach with a sheet, a basket of apples and a bottle filled with water. I laid myself and the basket on the now opened sheet on the sand. Listening to the wind and the waves crashing on the sand. Looking at the stars in the sky I tried to free my mind from everything I've been through for the past few days.
How do I deal with a situation like this? I know running from it wouldn’t really help me but where do I start? How do I even begin? “Mom, dad, I need you. What advice would you give me?” I laughed a little as I remembered dad’s favorite words, “If life gives you lemons sweety, just make yourself some lemonade.” and mom would always tell me that no matter where I end up in life its my choice to be who I want to be, and if I fall no matter what, get back up, remember who you are and try again.

The meeting I asked Ryan to organise would start at 2:30pm as it gave everyone time to assemble. I invited Becca to accompany me to the meeting. I was a bit nervous but having her there made me a little comfortable as she was the only one I really knew. The three gentlemen whom I rudely interrupted the other day were there as well as Ryan and Caden. As Ryan was about to introduce everyone, I politely stopped him, “Good day gentlemen. Thank you for making time in your busy schedule to come today. Please have a seat.” no one sat except for Becca. I looked at Ryan and Caden who were also standing. Becca chuckled a little, “You know... they won't unless you do.” she said looking at me with amusement clearly showing on her face. Ryan gestured for me to sit in his seat behind his desk however I shook my head and sat next to Becca turni

That night after the meeting was another night of no sleep. Instead of roaming the castle or going to the beach I sat out by the balcony of my room overlooking a mass majority of clean cut lawn. There was a rounded glass top table with two identical wooden chairs on either side of the table. My mind roamed to my parents which caused my heart to ache. Silent tears fell as I remembered their faces and our happy and sad times together. I miss spending time with my siblings however it can’t be helped at this time. It’s hard dealing with our parents' death but for Aaliyah’s sake I can’t be around her. As my mind tried to reason with the pros and cons in my current situation. There was a sudden knock at the door. Thinking it might be Bruce coming to check on me, I wipe

The next day I had an appointment with Becca and Seghal. “Lia you're getting sloppy. Concentrate.” Becca and I were sparring with each other. Something we haven’t done for almost over two months due to exams, graduation and moving here. The first time I saw Becca’s strength was when she took down the class bully in just one swift move. I was in aww. She was strong, fast and heck she stood up to the fat guy who was three or four times her size and about ten times her weight. One steady uppercut under his jaw and he was down for the count. I practically begged her to teach me how to fight and she had. However, today, today I realized that she was holding back. I felt sore all over, and the worst part was, she was still holding back. Over the years she had gotten stronger and faster. “If you can’t hit me, block my attack and t

“I give up. I have absolutely nothing to wear. I can’t go with any of these.” I showed her the hopeless clothing I brought along with me from home. “What do I do Be?” I sank to the bed discarding the top I had in my hand to the rest of the pile on the bed next to us. The seamstress hadn’t finished making my clothes yet so what I came with is what I had to choose from which wasn't very much. There was a knock at the door when I dropped myself next to the pile laying on the bed in frustration. Becca went to see who it was looking at me with amusement which caused me to throw a pillow at her which she caught while sticking out her tongue at me. “Does someone need a little hand?” Mia asked, holding up a green tank top in her hands. My eyes opened wide as I sprang up to sit

He took me to his home near a lake. “Does jouysena live with you?”“No, but you're welcome to.” He said as he chopped up vegetables, teasing me.Caden decided to cook us dinner for our first date. I sat at the counter watching him at work as I kept him company. It’s not that I could not cook but Caden decided that he wanted to do something special for me before he left for his mission tomorrow.“You’re parents…what happened to them?” It was hard to ask but I did want to know. “Vampires. They attacked our village. My father was coming back from a search party when their group was ambushed. Mother was with me and my brother a

That night after Caden dropped me back to the castle I opened his black box. Inside was a single silver key. I held the key to examine it. To my knowledge it looked like a house key. Smiling, I placed it back in the box and kept it on the nightstand.I then opened the little bag that Miss Jouysena gave me. Inside was a little jade ornament that was the shape of a seahorse. It was just like the one I saw in her shop. I place the ornament in the palm of my hand admiring the beauty of it. Before I knew it the jade was glowing like the colours of the rainbow. Its shape had changed into a dragon. It slithered to my wrist, encircling it wrapping itself around my hand until it settled into a resting position. It was no longer jade but a type of silver metal or something that was now a bracelet.To be honest I was shocked, a bit scared

Becca joined in on the fight with Mr. Seghal against Malia using a ball of her fire power as Mr. Seghal tried to physically tackle her. Malia spun away from Mr. Seaghal’s close grasp as she used a ball of water bigger that Becca’s fireball which quenched the fire in mid air as she aimed it at Mr. Seghal. Before he could drudge the attack he was hit by the water ball. He was caught off guard and was now drenched. Aaliyah was frozen to the spot she was sitting. Becca was the second person whom she had ever seen use powers which were even similar to Malia’s. On the day they arrived at Vernon's cove, the flames that burnt the flesh of those vampires were blue, whereas the flames that Becca used were more an orange, red like color. Malia lost in the physical fight however she was not backed into a corner when the odds were against her
Brimming With Power Chapter 1 - All Grown Up
Behind my home is a large forest that stretches way beyond where my little eyes can see. There are many massive trees that can hide a person from view and are so tall that when looking up, all you can see are leaves. Many animals live there in the forest. I made friends with some of them, who usually come to me for food and pets. My best friend is Coco the rabbit. He is grey in colour, fat and fluffy like a teddy bear with a little pink button nose. I sat at the trunk of the tree with two large roots on either side of me like I’m sitting on a large chair. I was dressed in my white and green floral dress I loved so much, whilst petting Coco on my lap. I dreamt of what I would look like when I grew up. I want to look just like my mother, for she was beautiful standing at five foot two with her long golden hair, smooth and clear ski
