Broken Age

Chapter 4

Carter's P.O.V

"Our bloodline is made up of very powerful witches and warlocks Carter. Grandma Aggie was the last one to use it," this is a joke. She must be kidding, I mean she can't be sane.

"Here, let me show you," she grabbed my hand and started to whisper weird words.

"What are you doing?"

"Close your eyes and let the energy flow through you," it can't hurt to try. It's totally crazy, but I've been through worse. I closed my eyes and felt this tingling sensation going up through my arms and throughout my whole body. It was like nothing I've ever felt.

"What was that?"

"It was my energy flowing through your body," I raised my eyebrow.

"Can I do that?"

"Yeah! You sure can, but I don't know if you're ready for that. You can try it out if you want," I grabbed her hands and closed my eyes. I don't know how to explain it, but I could feel my body releasing energy. It was slowly traveling up my body and into my arms.

As soon as it reached my hands I felt Freya pull back. I opened my eyes only to fine her standing up.

"What happened? What did I do?"

"You, you're stronger than I thought you were. Once your energy flow touched my finger tips it overwhelmed me. You're very strong Carter," I awkwardly smiled at her.

"Thanks," what else could I say? I've never been in this situation. It would have been odd to say "thanks I know."

"Do you want to try and do a very basic spell? I promise that it won't hurt anyone," maybe I should try it out. It would be good practice I guess.

"Sure! It wouldn't hurt to try," I shrugged my shoulders laughed awkwardly.

You're amazing with confidence my friend, have I ever told you that? Because if I did, I was lying.

"Okay, lets go to the nearest park. That way we'll be around the trees and nature. Witches and Warlocks are very in tune with nature. Come on, I'll tell you all about on our way to the park," she stood up and waited for me to join her.

"What do you mean by in tune with nature?" I would say that it was a good question to ask at this moment.

"We're all about balancing the good with the bad. Witches and warlocks can feel the life essence of every living thing. We can feel the energy flowing through them. That's why we like nature so much, we draw out its power."

"Draw out its power? I didn't know that nature had secret powers," just like I didn't know I did. Is that why I've always felt comfortable being beside it?

"Mother Nature is our best friend, she provides us with everything that we need. She's all about balancing good and evil, but when you're as strong as you are that means that she has chosen you. She has trust in you," trust in me? Who would make such a foolish decision like that?

"Why would she pick me? I'm such a mess," I stopped walking.

"Because she saw something in you, just like the goddess Aphrodite, she also gave you her charm. They both saw your future, they trust you with it," I smiled at her. No one has ever trusted me with something this important.
