Chapter 32: The LPP Betrayal with A Side of That's How You Clear A Bitch

Olivia

It's been three days since the day at the bakery with Grandma Shanell. Since then, I've been trying to figure out how the pieces of info that I've got about Mom and the Unity connect, but there's too much information missing to fill in any blanks. So, I'm at yet another dead end.

To pass the time, I've been practicing the elemental abilities that I used in the void in Citrus' memory.

My power and control have developed exponentially these past few days. I found out that I can control all the elements, not just water. I can heal people and myself, and to top it off, I'm an empath that can travel into someone's memories based on their past emotions, and more.

I don't want to brag, but I'm starting to become one hell of a badass bitch!

However, there is an issue that's been rearing its ugly head for the past three days. Every time I use my powers, I feel them grow stronger and stronger, but when I get close to reaching a peak, something —like a shield with my powers— blocks it from getting there.

It's a pain in the ass, and I'm not sure why it's there, but I still manage to do some pretty amazing things despite it.

It's a bit of a double-edged sword, but I was still grateful to have the abilities that I had.

Speaking of my powers, I was practicing with them right now —air and water to be exact.

I watched with excitement as the wind circled the bowl of water with the rose petals that I placed around it. I was sweating bullets, trying hard to concentrate so I wouldn't drop it and have to start all over again.

Wielding the elements takes a lot of energy and focus. It's hard to do sometimes. But, practicing every day helps. The only issue is that block; I'll have to ask Amber how to work through it, but right now, I need to focus.

I held one hand out to steady the wind while the other moved in circular motions to keep it flowing. I willed the rose petal tornado to grow bigger and bigger until it was about four feet high. By now I'm sure the breeze was traveling throughout the Alpha's floor and the guys were getting a chill in their rooms. I overheard them talking about yesterday it after I finished my element practices.

Focusing back on the wobbly tornado of rose petals, my gaze went to the bowl of water in the middle of the tornado. I concentrated on the water in the bowl, making it levitate in the air and mix with the rose petal tornado. Together they formed a swirling body of air, water, and rose petals.

I worked with the water for a little while after the tornado before I decided to move on to my empath powers. I've learned that I can feel many people's emotions from far away without trying too hard. I can also make a group of people feel the same things at the same time now, which was a pillar of growth for me.

Don't tell the guys, but I've secretly been using them as guinea pigs for my empath abilities.

They almost got into a huge fight yesterday over a crooked pillow on the couch.

I made them feel anger, and that was the outcome. It's funny to see how petty people get when they're angry. I stopped meddling before it got too serious, and punches were thrown. I bet Sage and Trevor would have loved that.

I'm able to pull emotions out of bodies and view them in sequence too, only for a limited time though. Meaning I'm able to see how a person was feeling within a five-minute window. That is the one I'm most proud of.

With a sigh, I sat down in my usual meditation position on my yoga mat. I breathed in and rested my hand's palms upward on my thighs. On my exhale, I concentrated on feeling everyone's emotions on the floor, then zoned in on a specific person, Toddrick.
