I haven't even gotten to class before going through this. I packed my books and shoved it into my locker. Dragging myself to the rest room, I turned on the tap and wiped my face. A reflection of me mirrored my motionless body and pictured my puffed eyes. I closed my eyes and inhaled a breath. " Sebastian, you can do it. This year will soon be over, you are strong and smart, I think. Even though it is just the beginning of senior year, I believe I can make it", I said to myself enthusiastically as I tried to smile.

“You must find strength, now more than ever. Your gifts… they’re still within you, even if you can’t feel them right now.” I looked at her, the exhaustion in my body making it difficult to muster a response. “I’m not sure I have anything left, Zaza. They’ve taken everything from me. You need to stretch your legs and rest before they take you back to holding.” Her grip tightened slightly, a reassuring squeeze. “No, they haven’t. They’ve taken your strength, your energy, but not your spirit. Not your gifts. Remember what you’ve been through, the battles you’ve fought, the victories you’ve won. That power is still within you, even if it’s buried deep.”

I know how to have power. I know how to stop being dominated.

“Let’s get you ready for battle.” I nodded, shutting my eyes, focusing. I took a deep breath and reached inside myself. Vexi, I want your power—to protect myself, to save people from harm. A flicker of warmth rose in my belly, spreading through my body like fire. “You have half of my power,” a voice whispered inside me. “To earn the rest, you must prove your strength and the truth behind your words.” I opened my eyes, breathless. Drake was watching me, his expression full of pride.

You have the power—”. I scold when someone asks me about power. "Do you mean the ability to manipulate, control, or exploit your advantage?" No, Tristan. The only power I possess is my own, and I have ceased to give it away.’ He tightens his gaze; his voice is chilly but unwavering. "If you refuse to come with me, then I'll forcefully take you.” Within a brief span, everything appears to be changing, as if the air becomes thicker. My hands tightly grip my talisman. “Try,” I whisper, my voice shaking but with force.

Ready to start over. Ready to become strong enough to never need rescuing again.

Strong. Powerful. Together.

She chuckled, looking at my face. “I mean, thank you for giving me to him,” I smiled. “He's the one thing I would have never wished for, because he surpasses my imagination of good and marvelous things.” “Love.” She smiled. “You guys are doing nasty things.” “Don't tell me you watch.” I rolled over her eyes. “I don't.” She smiled. “Well, find your twin sister, Akira. It gets easier from there,” she said, looking at me. “Don't be scared to own your power. It doesn't control you. You control it. Own it, and be the ruthless goddess I made you to be.”

“You don't.. love me..” “I do, Abby. I love you. I love everything about you. How you have only ever seen the worst in people and the darkest side of life, yet you are the brightest person that I know. I love how you are like sunshine breaking through storm clouds. I love how smart you are, how kind you are. How even though you were raised by the cruelest bastard as a father, you are still so open to love. I love how you perfect you are. That even though you were injured to this degree, you still called Mom and asked her if she needed for you to take her to the hospital. That is how selfless you are and it is another reason why I love you.”

“And you are the only one who can change it. Work with me, and we can eliminate the common enemy we both share.” Silence smothered the room. The weight of what I had seen crushed me like a boulder. My throat tightened. My chest ached. It felt like the air was too thick to breathe. “I’m powerless,” I whispered. “I can’t do anything. Not anymore.” Saying it out loud, admitting it, felt like swallowing broken glass. “What if I grant you power?” she asked. “You can’t do this alone, but I can give you what you need. Power like mine. The ability to turn into anything you want. The strength to create the life you want.”
