Attempt
When I finally made it back to my room, I was hoping the flush had gone from my cheeks, but when Elanora met my gaze, I knew it hadn’t. She knew something was up.
“What?” I asked her sheepishly, as she gave me an odd look.
Elanora shrugged, and tilted her head slightly. I wanted to hit myself. I had already forgotten her inability to talk. I was so stupid.
Sorry I whispered into her mind.
She smiled at me and shook her head. It’s okay.
I rushed to change, feeling hot and sticky. It didn’t help that I couldn’t get rid of the memories of Alastair – how close he had been, the look in his eyes. The way my stomach tightened in response to him, how he made my face flush.
What he had said about my hair had my stomach in knots, and it reminded me of why Alana had cut her hair short. A small thought began forming in my mind.
I needed to distance myself from him. Hadn’t I already learned the hard way? When it came to my

Chaos erupted around me as Trey lunged for him, his knife whizzing mere inches from my face. Panic strayed at the edges of my mind as it fought against the bile rising in my throat. I needed to focus. Everything Raena and Pollis had taught me swirled around in my head, but part of me was so distracted. Where was Elanora. As Trey lunged again, magic pooled in my hands and I forced it from my body, striking him in the chest. It knocked him back, sending him sprawling, as he rolled and then ended up back on his feet. It was almost enviable how he managed to do that. A feral glint now lit his eyes as he stared me down, his teeth bared. “This is for my brother, you bitch!” He hurled the knife at me, which I managed to dodge, but only just. A sharp screech of pain met my ears, but it didn’t seem to register in my already filled mind. All I could manage to think, was that it wasn’t possible for him to miss me. Regardless, a broad smile lifted his lip
Spyrit Study - Book 2 of Spyrit Trilogy Elanora's Truth
As Raena promised, she dropped us off at the infirmary, but was quickly called away by a servant. They needed to get ready to head off on their surveillance mission. She left me with Elanora and the head healer, promising to see me soon for more training once she returned. A cringe ran through me at the thought. After today’s attempt on mine and Elanora’s life, I knew Raena would double her attempts to train me in hand-to-hand combat. Thankfully the head healer seemed to be in a better mood today. He checked Elanora’s wound and with a grunt, informed me that she was healed perfectly fine. The wound itself was barely visible. It was obvious to the both of us that my magic was getting stronger. “And your own wound?” the healer asked me gruffly, his eyes scanning the blood stain on my own shirt. Instinctively my body twitched away as his hands moved to inspect the wound. “I’ll be perfectly fine,” I managed to grind out, my heart hammering

Blake stormed into my room without so much as a knock or a hello. I let my fury emanate to him, but he simply raised an eyebrow, daring me to say anything.Just by the way he moved, I could tell he was agitated. He looked like he wanted to set fire to something. The flames in his eyes raged and swirled, one definite way of knowing his emotions.Elanora lifted her head, watching Blake, her eyes wide with fear. I touched my hand to her back, soothing her and she folded herself into me, pressing her face to my stomach.“Blake,” I said with a nod, allowing sarcasm to flood my tone. “How nice of you to knock.”He stopped mid step to look at us, Elanora’s face now hidden among the folds of my dress. He gave me an odd look, his mouth twisting with an emotion that was gone before I could recognise it.“Sorry,” he mumbled, looking at his feet awkwardly. This threw me. Blake was never awkward. “I just hav
Spyrit Study - Book 2 of Spyrit Trilogy Training with Raena
When I was knocked to the floor for what felt like the hundredth time, I realised this was the possibly the worst idea I had ever had in my entire life.My whole body burning. I was bruised everywhere… literally. I didn’t think there was a part of my body that had been spared from Pollis’ torturous training. He hadn’t been kidding when he had warned me it would be hard work.Pollis stretched out his hand to me to help me up. The indignant part of me wanted to refuse his help so I pushed it away and heaved my aching muscles up from the ground. The other half of me, chided my foolishness as my whole body screamed in agony, my muscles cramping from the effort.My breath was ragged, my face bright red and covered in a sheen of sweat. I was physically and mentally exhausted.Between researching to find a magician powerful enough to create a magic void and training with Pollis, I had never felt so tired before in my life, with only one

“Why didn’t anyone tell me all the council members were Magicians?” I managed to bite out, trying to control my rapid breathing. “And lift the damn void!”Alastair appraised me for a moment, completely ignoring my question. I wondered if he was taking in the crazy look I in my eyes and debating whether it was safe for me to have access to my magic again.I honestly didn’t care what he thought right now as I stared him down, almost daring him to challenge me.His eyes twinkled as he pulled on his own magic, and the pressure of the void eased off my shoulders.My mind quickened, allowing me to push my magic out into Raena once more, seeking her injuries. They healed before my eyes. I had never actually looked when I had healed anyone. It was strange watching the bruises fade to green, then yellow and then disappear and see the cuts magically seal up, all scars gone.My teeth snapped together, the pain excruciating

“So how much did you see?” I began, unsure of where to start. Blake had followed me back to my room where Elanora lay fast asleep in my bedroom.I had checked on her before coming back out into the lounge to see Blake staring at his hands, his expression odd. Of course, he had his wall up, so I was unable to read anything from him. I wondered if he did it on purpose when he was near me.“Do you like him?” he asked suddenly, his eyes darting to my face.Frozen where I stood, unsure of what to say, my mind seemed to go blank. Did I really like him? Or was it a way to forget Deakin, to forget his betrayal and to really live a little before I possibly died? I didn’t know. Every time I was in his presence it was like I was overcome, almost intoxicated by him. Did that mean I liked it?“It’s complicated,” I chose to say, not meeting his gaze. He knew I was avoiding answering the question properly. He always

The next day, I woke with a pounding headache and my insides like jelly as they swirled around.I could barely think straight. Whatever the hell was happening between Alastair, Blake and I, the energy required to sort through that mess was certainly not within my reach.Most of it was so unexpected that a huge part of me was left paralysed. Could I trust either of them, or anyone for that matter, with my heart again after what Deakin had done?Would I even be able to physical with someone without completely breaking down?When Alastair ran his hands down my body, it sure felt like I could, but afterwards, my skin almost felt like I needed a shower to scrub away the horrible feeling left behind.Just the memory of their lips on mine had my face burning, the emotions rolling through my stomach.Eating breakfast was extremely difficult. Something I hardly ever went without, as my stomach was too busy swirling around and making me feel unwell.

“Great job, Kida,” Raena called out as I managed to get a good hit in at Pollis with the Bo in my hand.After my dismal attempt at using a sword, they had decided to give up on the idea and focus on another weapon in the hopes that I could manage to be successful.I ran my hands along the long, wooden staff as Pollis turned, his teeth bared in anger. He didn’t like me beating him. It didn’t help his case that I had so much going on right now, that this was the only way I could deal with it – with weapon in hand. I felt in control while I was training, whereas in every other part of my life, control was slipping very quickly out of my hands.My conversation with Alana had been interesting, and almost insightful. Her words played on repeat in my head for a solid few hours before I had to do something to take my mind off them.Pollis swung his own Bo, trying to take out my feet. But I jumped it easily, bringing my own weapon aro
