"ᴡɪᴛʜᴇʀ ᴀɴᴅ ᴅᴇᴄᴀʏ,"

Fear.

Fear is a powerful emotions and a familiar one for Cecelia Fitzherbert, as a child, she had frequence night terrors which was something that she told not a lot of people, it was just another thing 'wrong with her' for them to add to the list which her whole life she tried to overcome.

Luckily by the time she was fifteen her night terrors stopped and she started being more healthy, getting the appropriate amount of sleep. Cece wondered if her night terrors were the same as now, was it her powers calling towards her but she refused, blocking them out from her mind or were they just nightmares?

"ᴇɴᴅ ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴅᴇꜱᴛɪɴʏ,"

Cece blocked out the echoing voice, no, she wasn't going to succumb to whatever darkness this enchantment was.

Cece wasn't as smart as Ev or Spot but she knew that an incantation with this destiny in it couldn't do anything good. She also knew that an incantation that destroyed everything around her including the air wasn't good, it was dangerous, she could be dangerous.

"ʙʀᴇᴀᴋ ᴛʜᴇꜱᴇ ᴇᴀʀᴛʜʟʏ ᴄʜᴀɪɴꜱ,"

She started coughing the air finning once again, Cece fell to the floor. The air felt as if it was being ripped from her lungs, it clinging to the walls inside of her, scratching and ripping, struggling to stay in.

That was when she spotted him.

"ᴀɴᴅ ꜱᴇᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴘɪʀɪᴛ ꜰʀᴇᴇ,"

She saw a boy collapsed on the floor not too far behind her, she crawled over to him, it took all of her strength and power not to give up.

When she reached him, she rolled from over, her touch burning his exposed skin, Cece gagged as she looked at the blistering skin.

Cece looked down at her hand, she had done that, her touch burned a man alive.

"ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴘɪʀɪᴛ ꜰʀᴇᴇ."

She rolled the body over and gasped at the sight she saw, she thought it would have been someone close to her, she hoped it wasn't but she thought, she didn't expect it to be him and she didn't expect him to be dead...

➶➴➵.

"Eian!" She yelled as she shot out of the bed, she was breathing heavily, distraughtly.

Cece looked at her hand, her green glassy eyes traced each edge of her soft hand, she did that or at least she can do that.

Why Eian? She thought about it as she sat on her bed still crying, 'Am I meant to kill him?' Cece was taken aback by her own thoughts, obviously she wasn't meant to kill him, she wasn't a murderer. Dream association she settled with, she was thinking about the elder adult before she went to sleep, meaning that he filled the rule of the victim in her mind.

Cece grabbed a blanket from the side of her bed, though normally she would be grateful for Lex not being here but right now, she needed her or someone, she didn't want to be alone.

Based on the moon position she guessed it was around midnight, so she knew that everyone was asleep. Cecil would be asleep, her parents would most likely be asleep, Flynn is at a sleepover with Ev and Spot and the girls-

She heard giggles coming from down the hallway, maybe the girls were awake.

Cece walked to the door hugging her blanket when she got in front of her 13-year-old sister's door she took a deep breath wiping her eyes and cleaning herself up, though even if she looked okay, everything else about her says something totally different. She knocked on the door, "Gwyn?"

She heard her sister's giggles go silent as she heard the attempt of quiet footsteps racing around the room, a minute passed and Wyn opened the door, her off white night dress as she wore an obviously fake tired expression, "Hi, Lili." Wyn's eyes widened as she realised that Cece wasn't there to get her in trouble, "Cecily, are you okay."

"I'm okay, I promise," her smile was weak and her voice breaking. Unlike her mum, she didn't have a problem lying if it wasn't a hurtful lie. Wyn wasn't stupid, she could tell something was wrong with Cece.

Ana got out from under Wyn's bed, in which Cece was sure what took Wyn so long to open the door. Ana looked her elder sister up and down, she could tell something was wrong, she wasn't actually as if she was perfect. "Bullshit, Cecelia. What's wrong?"

She paused. Should she tell them, would she understand? What Ana and Wyn hate her? No, they wouldn't. Ana and Cece don't get along as much as she wished. Ana still loved her, they were still family. "I have the sundrop!" She cried, tears once again escaping her eyes. Ana stared at Cece shocked, Wyn was shocked too but she hated her family crying, she gave Cece a hug.

Cece pushed Wyn away, she looked down to her hand.

Wyn felt herself beginning to also cry, she wanted to comfort Cece, was she angry at her? Why was she crying? Was being the sundrop a bad thing? She read all of their mum's diaries, their mum only ever talked of happy things coming from the sundrop.

Ana felt herself thinking something which she knew she should have you thinking, especially with her sister crying right in front of her, why is it always Cece?

Cece looked at Wyn and through her teary eyes saw her youngest sister quietly crying, she hated seeing Wyn crying. She walked up to Wyn, wrapping her blanket around her hands and hugging her.

She turned to Ana, who was still frozen, "You two can't tell anyone."

Ana nodded, who would she tell anyway? Everyone hated her.

"Why are you crying?" Wyn asked as she pulled away from Cece, her blue eyes no longer filled with tears.

"I had a dream. In my dream... I..." Cece didn't want to finish that sentence, she didn't think she could.
