The Seers

Chapter Twenty Seven

Claire's P.O.V.

It had been about four months since I learned Kumura's family secret. In that time, I was falling in love with him more and more. My father and mother were currently trying to teach me how to draw my power to the surface at will. Key word is "trying".

"Claire, focus," my father said for the tenth time that day.

"I'm trying," I mumbled.

I thought back to the time when I killed the demon that had attacked Kumura, Senri, Yuki, and me.  The power had flowed through me naturally, like it was a part of me.  That's when it finally clicked...my power was a part of me.

The time I had made Roy disappear, all I had do was concentrate on him leaving and he was gone.  I could do anything if my will was strong enough.  It was one of those things that you don't think, you just do.

I looked at the piece of wood in the fireplace.  'Lite,' I thought while extending my hand and thinking of what it felt like to have the power flowing through me.

"How did you figure out out?" my father asked.

"I just thought about what it felt like when I had the power flowing through me before when mom helped me.  My powers are a part of me.  If I think of them as an extension of myself then I can use them."

"It took you four months to figure this out?," my father huffed in an are-you-an-idiot voice.

"Love you too, Dad."

"You take after your mother way too much."  He stood up and stretched.  He turned and looked at me, "There's something you want to ask, what is it?"

I looked down at my hands and then back up at him, "Do you ever regret what you did?  When you were cast out of heaven, did you ever stop and think about what that meant?"  I had wanted to know the answer to those questions since I was a child.  The bible only told one side of the story.

"Sometimes I regret what I did.  Let's be honest here, it wasn't one of my finest moments.  But what the bible doesn't mention is that I wasn't the only one leading the mutiny.  My sister, Rebecca, was also wanting to be God.  My brother, Gabriel, protected her from being cast out with me.

"Looking back now, she would have thrown me aside after she got control of heaven.  She's a real bitch now, not to mention she goes around on earth as a human and sleeps with anything that moves.  It's so bad now that Gabriel doesn't even know what to do with her."

It kind of hurt to know that I had an aunt who was a whore, "Another thing, if I hadn't been cast down, I would never have met Gosuto.  I would never have had you.  You won't get anywhere in life thinking about all the what ifs."

"Aww, what a touching speech, brother dearest," a sickly sweet feminine voice cooed.

"Britney?"

"Rebecca?"
