ACT THREE, CHAPTER FORTY-TWO Masked Shadow Men
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
ANDI THOUGHT THAT MAYBE THEY WERE STARTING TO CATCH A BREAK. Scott giving into his werewolf side, facing his fear of turning into a monster, helped him close the door in his mind that was opened when he went under the water that night. Allison regaining her good aim and remembering why she was there helped close hers. Stiles was having trouble reading but after helping Malia and bringing her back to her father, he hasn't been having anymore trouble so Andi assumed his door was closed as well. It seemed like she could finally relax but then remembered her parents were still in town. Her father had been sleeping on the couch and her mother had been sleeping in her grandmother's room with her because Jasmine knew Andi wouldn't want either of them in her space. As much as it disappointed them, they couldn't push her any further than they already did. It didn't help that Andi could feel their disappointment oozing out of them and it left her feeling drained right before she had to leave for school.
As she was walking, Isaac appeared next to her and she sighed in relief. His calmness and general happiness to see her replaced the feeling her parents disappointment left deep in her soul.
"You look a little down," Isaac noted.
"Remember what I said about suddenly being unable to block out other people's emotions, voices and things like that?" Andi asked and Isaac nodded. Andi sighed as she continued. "I think I'm losing control over my magic. I haven't told Grams yet because I don't think she can help with this one and this pendant isn't really doing anything other than adding magic from Grams and all our ancestors onto my own."
"And you don't know why this started happening?" Isaac asked.
"Not a clue. It's like everything I did and everything I learned to gain control and to become stronger is being undone and I feel like it's all falling apart and I can't fix it," Andi ranted as they kept walking.
"I think you've had a lot on your plate lately. There was Scott, Stiles and Allison, your parents suddenly came to town unannounced and you were attacked by a coyote that was actually a girl," Isaac said and Andi sighed.
"I've dealt with so much since I got here. Why am I suddenly losing control now?" she asked.
"Maybe control is overrated. Maybe you could check out that ancient book locked in your basement. It might have what you're looking for," Isaac suggested.
"And what if the answer is in the missing chapter someone stole?" Andi questioned.
"You'll figure it out," Isaac answered. Andi sighed as they got to the school and Isaac nudged her arm. "Isn't your birthday coming up? I still haven't figured out when it is or I might have missed it and had no idea."
