King Of The Lost || √

8: impossible

Hortensia

Sitting here in my office gives me a sense of relief.
I feel like I don't have to go back to the council palace. I feel like if I shut my eyes I'll go back to my coven. My mom will wake me up and Celeste will braid my hair after I beg her for it. And then I'll ask her to do my eyeliner and she'll decline but then she'll accept eventually.

And then we both will go to college. And mom will tease us about when we'll move out. But we both are too afraid to move out. We can't live alone without our family.

They didn't get to live alone. They are laying in the cold grave I dug for them and they are together.

The whole coven property which contained our homes now is a vast graveyard. I and Fred dug every grave. And I made their headstones with ice that doesn't melt. It's the impenetrable ice in which I encase myself whenever I feel like I'm in danger. On the day of the attack, I covered everybody with my ice including mine. I thought I would die but I didn't. The ice is me and I'm the ice. It protected me and the linkage spell gave me the lives of all dead.

Petunia didn't get stuck in the ice I made and neither did Adar.

Fred found me two months later after the authorities tried their best to break the ice. They wanted to obtain some secrets from our homes but all the coven territory was frozen.

Fred could read my thoughts from beneath the ice. He had been reading my thoughts for a month. And he decided it was enough.

He reached my mind and told me that I'm alive. He told me that he was here to help me. He told me about revenge. He told me how his parents were hanged in front of his house because they didn't want to help the old king in 'saving ' humanity.

He made me realize I was alive and I took a hold of my powers once again. The ice melted and the bodies were as good as the day they died.

Fred and I dug out 466 graves. Our coven members had 469 members. Me, Petunia, and Adar are alive.

I still remember the two children who were hugging each other and I had to separate them with my hands with care. Their bodies were blistered and bruised.

I made sure everybody was frozen so they don't rot. I placed them in the graves and put the dirt on them. The gravestone I made was with the same ice I enclosed myself in.

I remembered to put every name on them.

And then the homes and the offices I let them be. They are still in ice and many people tried to pull that ice apart.

The Wright family went there themselves, but even they can't destroy the ice.

The ice I made was mixed with another ability, another kinesis. I think that kinesis is fire.

Ice is the linking element. So the manipulator of ice can always touch other elements.

I tapped into fire that time and created an impenetrable material.

But I can't create more like those because there is no more fire manipulator alive right now from whom I can suck the power. That time I could do it because the old king was alive but when he died so did that power.
