Chapter 0116
She rolls her eyes at me, "In order for you to control your powers, you need to understand them, and for you to understand them, you need to use them."
That made absolutely no fucking sense... And I do tell her that.
"Trust me, teleportation is the easy part. You need to learn how to use your powers on your own. When they first awakened, I was partly in control, that's why we were even able to fly. The few times you were in control, you lost control. We can't have that."
"In my defense, unlike you, they're new to me."
"They are not new to you. You've just forgotten how to use them... anyway, teleportation is easy as compared to the rest. You'll need to learn how to fly. Summon our scepters. Control the elements. Create energy balls... and many more."
I understand what she is saying, but one thing caught my attention.
They are not new to you. You've just forgotten how to use them.
What the hell did she mean? These powers are new to me... And I doubt I would have forgotten how to use these kinds of powers if I had them. Why would she say that? It takes a second to realize it must have been a slip of the tongue.
"Okay, let's begin," she commands before I can ask her to elaborate on what she meant. "Close your eyes, and imagine yourself somewhere else." I do as she says, but my mind keeps wandering, and I simply can't decide on a place to focus on.
"Stop, just start with something simple. Think of a place not far from here and then focus your entire being on that place. Don't think of how you'll get there... Or how it will happen. Just focus on the place. Nothing else."
I think of all the places on this pack that I used to love. For some reason, my mind latches on the image of the training grounds. I try thinking of anywhere else, but the image stays put.
If I'm honest with myself, I know why my mind thought of the training grounds. It used to be one of my favorite places because I got to see Alec training. He was a beast when he was in training mode, and sometimes he would train without a shirt on. I'd stay on the bleachers and just dreamily watch his muscles and abs contract while I imagined licking my way down his chest.
I shake those memories away and focus. Since my brain refuses to focus on any other place. The training arena is it.
"Good, now push all your energy into that image. Want it, until that want vibrates through every cell of your body."
I do as she says and just focus on that image. Slowly by slowly, I feel my body start vibrating. The power is there, so close I could almost taste it. "Now, release it along with the image." Nyx's voice guides me.
I release the power and open my eyes. I frown when the image of the meadow greets me. I close my eyes again and follow the instructions until I feel power coating every cell of my body.
"This isn't working," I grumble for the third time when nothing happens.
"Just keep trying until it does."
Heaving a frustrated breath, I try again. This time I make sure that the image in my head is all I see, feel and breathe.
A weird sensation goes through my
body. For a moment, I feel light. kike
I am floating in air. It feels like cells are vibrating on a different level. For a moment, I feel like I am in space. Like I'm no longer on earth
The feeling fades, and slowly I feel myself or rather my cells reattaching themselves to the physical. When I open my eyes, I'm no longer in the meadow, instead, I'm in the training arena with eyes on me.
"Oh, my Goddess" someone screams. "A ghost!"
Fuck me. I didn't think there would be anyone here... and it looks like they don't know I'm alive.
There are some screaming, while
others watch me with shock
plastered over their faces. They are pale, and I can imagine why. They thought I was dead, and then 10 seemed to materialize out of
nowhere.

I turn around in circles, a smile playing on my face while I watch as they scream and scramble. If they don't chill, they'll end up causing a stampede. "You are enjoying this entirely too much," Nyx states.
"Sue me!"
For a moment, I even forget that I'd just teleported from the meadow. The feeling of tormenting them even a little, is breathtaking.
"What the hell is going on here?" Alec's booming and commanding voice cuts across the space, causing everyone to freeze in their spots.
"G-ghost" one of his members stutters. "S-Sadie has come back to haunt us."
This time I couldn't help it. I burst out laughing. This makes Alec's head swing in my direction. On seeing this, he just shakes his head, before pinching the bridge of his nose.
“Meeting in thirty minutes, there are things I need to explain,” he says, his eyes never leaving me.
And that was my cue to leave. I close my eyes and focus on the meadow. This time I knew what to do and how to tap into my powers. My body starts feeling light again.
The last thing I hear before disappearing are their horrified screams. Any torment I can give them for what they put me through is well worth it.
