They whisper harsh and slow.
Little indistinct voices,
Of revenge and foe...
Calls my name , tells me to fight.
To keep quite.
They are listening, that's what it says
They are listening, so I have to stop.
I have to stop thinking.
They are creeping their way out but I have to keep them in...
KEEP THEM IN.
AND STOP LISTENING

"Oh my god, I-I am sorry. GOD I.... "

Ground beneath me is shaking or maybe it's me I am shaking all over, the energy is still flowing through me wild and untamed but I feel more in control now then earlier.

"Bright"

I take a step back before grandpa could come near me, I don't trust myself to stay calm not after what I did.

"Hey, it's okay It happens with everyone.I lost control more than once and it was disastrous in fact I am shocked you changed your target at the last moment and you are back to normal without much fight though I might add I was ready with my move it was pretty easy to figure out what you were up to. "

It actually makes me feel better, it means I can control whatever it is I possess.

"It took everything in me to not hit you but I did hurt you, your hand I can see you got burned marks there"

I point towards his left hand it's scald red he considers it with a bored look

"Well your diversion cost me this"
He was smiling but maybe he saw something on my face and sighed. His smile was gone and was looking at me with consideration.
I looked down at my hands my palms were wielding fire minutes ago grandpa didn't taught me that while practicing I barely managed to control wind still it felt natural to me now how? Why? It scares me the feeling of power is not how I imagined it to be. It's heavy, manipulative, overpowering on my own emotions.It's terrifying.....

"I -how, how did I, my hands they ... -"

"You are exceptional I am amused to see you could wield fire mostly we could use two to three elements but only in presence of silver soul that too in a certain limit. We have one element that goes along with our will mine is wind,yours is water,but fire? I had no idea, your mother controlled two element too and now you control three! Maybe you can tame your prowess better because she never lost control.you must have gotten it from her"

I didn't know how to feel about that my mother never lost control but I did almost killed two people and even hurt grandpa. "I don't know I -my eyes wouldn't leave the sight of his wound.

"I told you it's nothing. I didn't even felt it until you pointed it out, it doesn't hurt really.--He said it with conviction --Now get a grip we need you, I don't have time to baby you"

That got me to snap back

"How can you tell me to be okay with this. what I just did was unthinkable for me, let alone do it .It's your fault that I am so disoriented with all of this"

"Looks like you still have your arrogance intact that's good it means there's no severe damage control needed, and- he lift up his finger as if he just remembered something -you'll do much more than this , all in due time"

Just hearing it made me shiver in dread.
I opened my mouth, then closed it, opened it again but decided against it
It's no use, there's no way to win an argument against grandpa especially when he wants you to do something. I take a deep breath, the irate feeling is still there but manageable.I haven't been able to turn and take a look on those two guards I almost killed..there is no movement so I assume they are still unconscious.
