Hurting and I Know It

[Emily Shale-Vanders]

Emily nodded. "It's like a light I see inside of myself. When I 'grab' it, The power comes, but I still have to think about it. I still have to find the light."


Emily let go of the power and found the light again. It was faster this time. She knew if she practiced, it would begin to come more naturally. She was reminded of the vampire attack when her magic was gone. That needed to be avoided inthe future.

[Color]"Remember when we found the vampire. I couldn't use it at all. Because I was scared maybe? Will practicing help with that too?"[/color] she paused. "How do I practice for that. I'd rather not go find one of those...creatures...again."
Emily shivered. She needed to be able to defend herself, but looking for trouble was just plain stupid.
