The Voice Within
The voices washed over me like waves. It was the same things over and over again. How stupid can you be? Why didn’t you tell anyone of your suspicions? Why are you so rash? Do you realise what could have happened?
I would have answered some of their questions if I knew it would change anything. But more than anything in my life, I was certain it wouldn’t. They believed they knew better and they were sure telling me their opinions on it now.
After what felt like hours of allowing them to berate me, for I lifted my hand, ceasing their lecture. It was becoming tiresome. This earned me an outraged glare from Blake and a huff from Alana.
“What does it matter?” I asked pointedly, glancing at each of them in turn. “Elanora is fine, I am fine. That’s the important thing, right?”
Blake gave me a dark scowl, his gaze burning and intense. “Are you kidding me right now, Kida? That’s all that you have to say? You c

It felt like weeks had passed as I sat on my bed, my legs curled up underneath me. The blanket wrapped around my body was pulled tight, cocooning me in its warmth. Open books were spread out in front of me - pages and pages of words that seemed to just float straight through my memory. It was overwhelming. In vain, I had hoped that by reading some of the books Alana had given me, I would have distracted myself from what had happened and all I had to think about. But the words and the drawings were boring and difficult to read, and none of it made any sense to me anyway. In any case, books were not going to help me when it came to Tynan. I leant my head against the backboard of my bed, taking in a deep breath. My head thumped out a steady rhythm as a headache started to form behind my eyes from the strain of constant reading. My world was unravelling, and fast. The others had sent me to my room, ordering that I stay there until someone came for me. I had brist

The hawk-eyed woman, whose name I learned was Enda, stared me down, her eyebrows raised incredulously. They were so high they almost disappeared into her hair, something I found rather amusing. “Tell me again, what exactly you are going to do about her?” she asked me, her tone dripping with annoyance. I sighed, frustrated. “Her name is Elanora, and she will stay with me in my suite,” I responded smoothly, trying my best to keep the anger from my voice. It was difficult considering she had asked me with several times already, never using her name but always calling Elanora a ‘her’. It was driving my anger slowly upward, until I knew I would be unable to control it anymore. Once again, the council had demanded to see me, but the meeting had been going for hours now, around in circles. My stomach rolled in discomfort. I was starved. “That doesn’t really answer my question,” Enda reminded me, her voice pinched. Her frustration fluttered along my skin. I wanted to smile. I was almost en

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
Spyrit Study - Book 2 of Spyrit Trilogy Pissing Contest
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
