Pentagon

Chapter 24- Why?

"Olympia?" Aunt rose called softly so as to not wake up the sleeping child.

"Aunt Rose" Olympia responded  staring out the window to her front yard where multiple guards were making their rounds.

"Is everything alright?" She questioned, placing a hand on her shoulder. Olympia flinched just a bit which made her aunt shocked.

"Have you ever thought that things in life happen for a reason? Like somethings were ment to happen whether it be good or bad?" She asked, now turning her gaze to her aunt.

Aunt Rose looked down as if trying to answer her question properly when in reality she didn't know what to say. The Pillar sighed and turned her face back to where it once was.

"I took it away" Olympia said, her eyes trained on the bright green grass below her.

"Took what away?" Aunt Rose asked, a slight worried expression on her face. Olympia then looked at her hands which could have been burned off with the intensity of her stare.

"Adara's pain, I took it away. I didn't even know I could do that" Olympia confessed. "When we were having that headache back at the gardens, my head suddenly felt as if the pain excelled far greater than what it was. I looked down to Adara and noticed that she wasn't in pain anymore. It made me think about my powers" Olympia continued, her aunt listening intently.

"If I could do something that I didn't even know I could do then that means that I have more to my powers than I originally thought nevermind those that were given to me."

Aunt Rose thought about it for a second before coming to the conclusion that Olympia had far more power than she could deal with.

"What do I do? I'm scared" Olympia said, a small tear falling down her cheek.

Her aunt was speechless. She has never in her life seen Olympia so fearful before. It was uncommon for Olympia to even feel any ounce of fear as she usually was the one who instilled it. Olympia was always calm, collected and a strong woman so to see her breaking down like this ment that something truly bothered her.

"Why was is me? Why were they so selfish? They could have helped take this stupid organization down with me without having to risk much, if anything at all. We each had our own powers and that alone was strong enough to kill us so why did they have to give their souls to me!? I know what will happen when I use my powers to my fullest potential but I'm not ready to give everything up! I'm tired of running but I have to! What do I do?"

At this point Olympia was in tears, her hands began to shake as her body was on the floor, kneeling.

"Calm down!"

"But its true and you know it!"

"We aren't stable enough, you need to calm down!"

"No! I need to know why!?"

"Please you need to calm down! It isn't safe!"

"When was it ever safe!?"

"Olympia?" Aunt rose called out to her and placing her hand on her forearm only to have a burning sensation stab at her skin. She looked at her hand and saw steam coming from it.

"Stop!"

"Then tell me why!? Why us!? Why can't we just get this over with without harming anyone else!?"

"Please just listen!"

"Olympia, honey just calm down!" Aunt Rose shouted, shaking Olympia as she started to hyperventilate. Olympia's eyes which were once fixed on the floor looked up at her aunt.
