Playing Catch Up (Kallisti) - Anna - 12-20-2024
Anna sat in the lounge and took deep breaths. She had sent Juls a message about wanting to meet. She had struggled with channeling. Breaking her block hadn't been easy for her, and she had found practice sessions very frustrating. Try as she might, she couldn't even hold the power. That was now all gone. Thanks to a day of meeting new friends and day drinking.
Anna embraced the power, feeling it sharpen her senses. The lounge seemed brighter and the scent of the club was more prevalent in her nostrils. It still amazed her how easy it was now. The power was there, just waiting to be embraced. It no longer required any effort, but her struggles to get there had put her way behind. Her frustrations had affected her relationships at work. Until Elyse, Anna had found it difficult to connect to her coworkers, but since then, Anna had worked very hard to befriend her coworkers. It was as Mae had told her - it only took one to feel at home. All her coworkers had welcomed her with open arms.
Anna had gotten in early. She had requested time to work one on one with Juls, but wasn't sure if that was going to be the case. Her reasoning was simple. She was playing catch up. Anna didn't know if Juls was going to bring anyone else or not. Either way, it was time for Anna to learn how to use her gift.
She had arrived early. She wanted to show Juls that she as serious about this, and the waiting made her just a little nervous. Of course now that she didn't need to be nervous, she found everything a little nerve wracking. Anna just wanted to do well. She fidgeted a bit with her wallet. It seemed like every time she did, she thought of Cade. She still hadn't texted him, and he hadn't reached out to her. She sighed.
Fuck it! she thought, bringing her wallet up to send a message.
Heya Cade! Just wanted to check in. Hope all is well! I'm spending some time practicing my magic today
She put her wallet down after hitting send, hoping she wasn't too much. How could she be? It had only been a few days since they had met. She kept holding on to her power, not using it, and waited for Juls.
