Free Avenging Amethyst (Immortal Eyes) by Kaitlyn Price Page A

remembered
what I was supposed to be doing. I closed my eyes and tried to block out the
pain first. It was hard but I managed. Then I searched my mind. I could feel
the darkness wrapping around my brain. It felt like there was a slimly snake
curled up in my head.
    I fought to
unwrap it to push it out. I kept imagining myself grabbing it and flinging it
across the room. I had no idea if this is what I was supposed to be doing but
it seemed to work. I could feel the fire burning me lessen and then disappear
altogether. I could still feel the darkness in my mind however so I threw up a
visual brick wall around my brain and gave one last shove at the darkness.
    Then it was
gone. My eyes shot open the second I felt it disappear and inspected my entire
body. My skin looked the same as it had before we started this process and
there was no scorch marks on any of my clothes. I looked wide-eyed at Felix and
Rema who were looking back at me with nearly the same expression.
    "What
happened?" I asked. I was worried that I’d done something wrong.
    "You
screamed. A lot," Felix said.
    "You were
amazing. No student has ever been able to push me out as fast as you did,"
Rema said.
    "Well,
Felix helped a little," I admitted.
    He laughed.
"That's why Rema wanted me to stay. I usually help first timers by
influencing them to focus on what they need to do."
    "Even with
Felix's help it was still impressive. I have a feeling your mother's strong
mind was passed down to you. You were able to regain control so quickly."
    "Do you
think that's because of her ability to sense our powers?" Felix asked
Rema.
    "Absolutely,"
she said. "I think it helps you to sense the darkness inside of you
better, too."
    "Do you
think that's my special ability then? To be able to sense other powers?" I
asked. I really wanted to know more about my power but I was nervous to ask in
case there wasn't anything else to it. I didn't want it to be so boring.
    "I think it
is part of your power but I think there's more to it. I'm very curious to see
it blossom to its full potential, which I can tell, you will have a lot of. Do
you mind if I ask what the darkness made you see?"
    I shuddered.
"I was burning. It was so vivid and so real. I could feel the flames all
over my body. I could even smell burning flesh. When I opened my eyes you two
were completely gone. All I could see were the flames."
    "That would
explain the foggy look in your eyes," Felix said.
    "I've seen
it happen a few times before," Rema said. "Darkness takes over so
fully that it consumes every sense in the mind. It's rare for that to happen on
the first try though. Especially with someone so young. You really are a
special case."
    I blushed. Rema
and Felix were both staring at me with awe and I felt awkward under their gaze.
I didn't know what to say to that either. All of this excitement really made me
curious to know what the full potential of my power was.
    "Is there
anything we can do to help figure out what my power really is?"
    "Have you
always been so impatient?" Felix laughed.
    I glared at him.
"Yes."
    "The only
thing we can do is wait. There was a Lovac many years ago who could predict
what other Lovac powers were but he's been gone for a while," Rema said.
     I sighed.
Even though Rema and Felix were both hopeful that my power had more to it, I
was worried there wouldn't be. Then another thought hit me.
    "Do you
think I can sense when anyone uses a power around me or is it only when it's
being used on me?"
    "I don't
know," Rema said. "Felix, do you want to use your power on me and see
what happens?"
    He shifted
uncomfortably. "Uh, what do you want me to influence you to do?"
    "Something
simple," Rema said. "Like stand up or scratch my nose. Anything
that will give off enough power to see if she can feel it."
     "Right.
Okay." He stared at Rema with an intense look and sure enough I felt a
little tingle. Only I wasn't feeling it in just my head. I could faintly feel
it in my entire body. Rema suddenly
