Evie Pov
"Dont stress yourself Evie" Tate spoke from behind me, sitting on a hay bale in my horse barn, she is the only one here with me.

I held my hand out holding a bag of horse feed in the air as i poured it into the troff, it was difficult to hold it up.

"Its okay, ive got it" i grunted back, focusing all of my strength on the bag.

"Your pushing yourself too much" Tate walked up next to me "stop."

"I have to keep practicing" i began to put the bag back down, my hand shaking uncontrollably.

"Gabbie said that Telekinesis isn't your something you can just use, it takes a lot out of you fast, unlike when you bend light so please" Tate put her hand on my arm "stop."

I gave in, letting the heavy bag drop to the ground, stumbling back a bit and sat down on a hay bale.

Tatd sat down next to me, handing me a bottle of water that i gladly took from her.

The boy's and Gabbie are back at the house, trying to figure out what base the council is holding my dad, Allen and Freya.

I had to come back here to check up on the horses, make sure they had enough food, water and that they were cleaned nicely.

Turns out that while i was gone, Athena decided to roll in mud, which was not fun to clean.

Tate was with me because she new i shouldn't be alone.

"Why are you pushing yourself so hard, you need to take it easy" Tate asked.

"I have to get better, be able to fight, is i cant then i cant save or help anyone" i gulped down the rest of the water bottle.

"So you think your useless?" Tate asked, taken back a bit, i didn't meet her eyes.

"How can you think that? Just because someone doesn't have supernatural abilities, doesn't mean that they are useless does it? Like the people who have fought for our country, they did not have powers, but they fought and won their battles" Tate stated "right, Evie."

"...right..." i sighed "yeah your right, i have to stop pushing so hard..."

"Good, but if your going to practice something, lets do some target practice" Tate stood, a grin forming on my face.

I went to teach for my bow and arrows but Tate stopped me.

"No, not that kind, come on" Tate began to walk out of the barn with me following.

We walked out to stand across from one of my targets and i started to catch on to what she was getting at.

"Now do what you did to Jonah yesterday, shoot at it" Tate said.

I focused energy on my hand as a ball of light formed and i held it up, aiming it.

I thrusted my hand out, shooting the ball at the target as it flew back a few feet on impact and Tate ran over to it.

She put it back up straight and there was a scorch mark right in the middle.

Tate gave a me a thumbs up with a big grin which i returned.

But as she began to make her way back to me she stopped, her face paling as she looked at something behind me.

Confused, i cocked my head at her before turning around and there was the familiar blonde, Emma.

Standing just behind the fence she held up her hand, giving me a small finger wave.

Tate came up behind me as i cautiously stepped forward.
