I happened to be walking by the window when I saw Atlas storming away. Bruno ran as far as he could go befoer loosing breath. He yelled something after her before giving up and turning coming back inside. I paled and turned to see that Camil o had noticed it to. Camilo looked at me and said, "I'll talk to Bruno, you go after her."

I thanked him, handing him the stuff in my arms befoer racing after Atlas.

She heard me but didn[t turn to see who it was. So she took off sprinting, I chased her and people in the village gasped diving out of our way. She ran to the edge of the village. I saw a house nestled in the woods at he abs eod the mountain. No wonder I never found her. She wa slicing all the way out here. She ran to the house and realized she didn[t have her keys. She was clearly not thinking.

I caught up and -it my hand on her shoulder. She spun around and cried, "leave me alone!"

I grabbed her shoulders and she hit my chest a couple times, she was crying so much I knew she probably couldn't see. She got weak and sank into me crying. I held her and kissed her forehead. When she stopped crying she looked up  at me and said, "I'm sorry I ran Anotnio."

I cup her face in my hands and say, "What is going on? You agreed to talk to me."

She sniffled and said, "Antonio, am I dangerous?"

I looked at her in confusion, "I'm not sure how to answer that..."

She wipes her eyes before saying, "Bruno doesn't want me going to Eliana's gift ceremony out of fear of me hurting people."

My eye brows furrowed and I said, "why does he think your going to hurt people?"

"My gift is getting stronger,  Antonio." I reply

"And? Everyone's gift is getting stronger. I can control animals now, Camilo can shape shift other people, Dolores can hear farther, Isabella has learn to grow foods, Luisa is getting stronger, what is your point?" I reply

She shifts on her feet and says, "I can control spirits now. And I think that when I get angry, they get violent."

My eyes widened and swallowed the lump forming my throat before saying, "Why is Bruno concerned?"

"He showed me the vision ,the one I showed you earlier. And I get angry with the villagers for turning on Eliana. I get angry and lose my temper, turning the spirits on the villagers. The house erupt sun to chaos and.. and I... I don't want to do that."

She was beginning to hyperventilate and talk really fast so I put my hands on the sid e of her face gently stroking her cheeks with my thumbs and saying gently, "deep breaths At;as, deep breaths..."

She took a couple and I say, "Atlas your not going to hurt anyone. I won't let you. Understood. Whatever happens tonight we can be prepared, ok? If people looks at her in fear, I want you to trick her up and take her ot my room adn stay there... that will be our plan, ok?"

I blushed and say, "I don't want them to look at our daughter in fear, Antonio. The fear was supposed to be my problem. Not hers..."

I looked at her sadly adn say, "there are something in life we can change Atlas. And people fear what they don't understand. Until you got your gift, everyone else's seems fun and exciting. But sicne them your gift and soon Eliana;s have seems scary and daunting. People fear control, and death. And unfortunately that will be Eliana and your's gifts."
