BXBX NOVEL Chapter 337 - Powers
After about one month, Felicity\'s powers were uncontrollable. She involuntary used them whenever she touched a nature element, while they were at home, she grabbed the glass of water and leave it closer to drink from it when the water turned into ice. Another time she was helping her mother with gardening and as soon as she touched a blossom it arose.
Lastly, as she ran in the garden playing with Elijah hide and seek wherever her step hit the grow, it that spot grow plants.
Roselyn and John were worried and didn\'t make her go to school because of that. Felicity didn\'t like their drastic decision and throw a tantrum.
She was crying loudly and tapping her feet on the ground, "mom I want to go!"
Even if John explained to her she couldn\'t go to school because it would be too risky since her powers were uncontrollable she didn\'t seem willing to stop crying.
Roselyn kneeled, she didn\'t know why her daughter was developing powers that soon. She hated to see her crying, a child of six years can not understand how dangerous it could be.
"Felicity if humans see your powers they could mistreat you," Elijah commented, Roselyn unconsciously smiled at him seeing him hold her sister\'s hand and with the other hand wiping away her tears.
"You\'re like a superhero who has to hide her identity," Elijah continued and hearing that statement a hint of a smile appeared on Felicity\'s face.
"Come," John said, picking her up and walking to the kitchen, he poured some water in a glass and headed it to her.
Felicity was drunk and then when she gathered her breath and calmed down, John spoke: "I am sorry, but sometimes you have to give up something you care a lot to protect your powers. That\'s the pros and cons of being a supernatural creature. If you want to get stronger like your mother you have to keep that in mind."
John explained, Felicity looked at him with her big brown eyes, still filled with eyes.
He gently pinched her nose and leaned his forehead against hers, "we can have fun at home, do you want to draw?"
Felicity nodded, "yes!" She said, John, put her down and put on the table some papers.
Felicity took the pencils and sat down, she started to draw lines on the paper.
Maids meantime were talking to Rose, they asked her if it wasn\'t a better idea to teach Felicity how to control her powers instead of repressing them or ignoring them.
Roselyn was skeptical about that suggestion, she knew how much it was addictive to train powers and how amazing it felt. If Felicity would start to use her powers she may get too comfortable or like it so much she could start to talk about it to her school friends or maybe practice so much she would overwork herself.
Roselyn shook her head, she also remembered about Sharon, she discovered her powers when she was around Felicity\'s age and she ended up using her powers to harm people or fulfill her twisted purposes.
"I doubt it\'s a good idea." Roselyn said, "she just has to be patient and soon her powers will quell letting her come back to her normal life."
She looked at her with the corner of her eye, she wasn\'t so much worried when she was the one who had to be careful with humans. But now she was so concerned at the thought of her daughter being harmed that her heart skipped in her chest and tightened.
**
Days passed by and Felicity\'s powers were even harder to control, so hard to control that she barely could move her hands that her powers would spread.
Roselyn sighed, she couldn\'t do it anymore, she needed to find a solution.
"What can we do?" She asked John who shrugged and looked at her thoughtfully.
"Maybe the maids are right." He took a long breath, "maybe we should teach her how to control her powers. That\'s the only option."
Despite Roselyn being contrary to that suggestion first, now she didn\'t have any other chance than to accept it.
"I will train her," if someone had to train a banshee, Roselyn was the best person to do so.
She took Felicity\'s hand and whispered, "do you want me to teach you how to control your powers?"
The kid\'s eyes lit up as if she heard the most exciting thing, she looked forward to that moment.
"Yes please!" She replied in a begging tone of voice and Roselyn smiled.
They headed to the living room which was almost empty since that was the place Roselyn also practiced when she had to hide her identity.
She couldn\'t tell her to use her emotions because at that age she probably didn\'t figure out what every feeling is.
So she taught her the basics.
"You have to stretch your hand," Roselyn said, standing with her feet slightly open and stretching her arm to give her daughter a demonstration.
Felicity stretched her tiny hand, listening to her mother carefully and imitating every move she made.
"Now you have to focus all your powers in your hand."
Roselyn said, Felicity closed her eyes when she saw Roselyn do so, she focused and a wave of wind pushed a few objects near to Felicity afar.
She closed her hand and placed her hand at her side but the wind continued to blow crashing all the objects on the floor.
"Felicity, try to stop it!" Roselyn raised her voice to be heard from her daughter who was snagging to protect herself from the wind.
Felicity managed to stand up but the wind increased, it was out of control.
The poor kid shook her head, "I can\'t mom, It\'s too strong," her brittle voice was low and scared, Roselyn felt her heartache hearing her daughter so scared and miserable but she didn\'t have to let her empathy and her love get in the middle.
Roselyn had to be her teacher just like John was for her.
"I know you can do it." Roselyn replied, "try to calm it down, focus and order the wind to calm down."
Roselyn said, the wind made her shiver, the windows were shaking and the door slammed close locking them in.
Felicity stretched her hand again, her body had been pushed against the wall and her knees were trembling for the cold
Despite everything she focused on, she narrowed her eyes and for a second the wind stopped to blow, only to start blowing even strongly after.
Felicity\'s eyes filled with tears thinking she failed it, Roselyn intervened moving her hand circularly and in an eyeblink, the wind stopped.
Roselyn ran to her sister, "you did it!" She exclaimed but Felicity looked at her puzzled.
"You stopped the wind for some seconds!" Roselyn rectified, Felicity mentally repictured what had happened and when she realized her mother was right and that indeed she controlled the wind she smiled.
"I did it? I did it!"
Roselyn chuckled, she spread her arms and embraced Felicity tightly. "You did, love. You did."
"We should go to eat now and tell dad what you did," Roselyn said, picking her up and walking with her back in the kitchen.
"You\'re fine!" John sighed relieved, he probably had heard the noise of the wind and the objects breaking and he got scared.
"Yes, we broke some objects," Roselyn said, the maids rushed to clean the whole Roselyn sat Felicity on her chair.
"I controlled the wind for some seconds. It was amazing, I was scared but It was so fun!" Felicity talked excited, from the way her eyes sparkled Roselyn realized her preoccupations may be legitimate.
John prepared two sandwiches, one for Felicity to help her recover her energies and one for Elijah who was always hungry.
"One day we will be able to train together maybe!" Elijah said while he chewed.
"Don\'t speak while you chew!" Roselyn intervened gesturing to his hand.
Felicity swallowed the food, "mhh mhh," she nodded.
"I want to get as strong as a mom one day. But I can tell she is worried, maybe she doesn\'t want me to train a lot." Felicity said, forgetting the fact her mother was standing right in front of her.
"I am not concerned about that honey, I just want you to train when you can, and don\'t exaggerate. You\'re still young, you have all the time to practice." Roselyn intervened.
When Felicity finished eating, she took a few sips of her water, then she stared at the glass in front of her which was still half-filled.
She narrowed her eyes and of a sudden the glass exploded, breaking into thousands of pieces and the water fell everywhere.
"Felicity!" Roselyn raised her voice.
Elijah started to laugh, "wow! That\'s so amazing!" He exclaimed, Roselyn, shook her head and folded her arms.. Her cheeks heated and the silence fell back in the room, the kids recognized her angry gaze.
