Personal Powers: Civil War

Win

****ETHAN'S POV****

The sounds of the birds singing outside of the ship woke me from my deep sleep.

Today was the day, I promised Avatar Loren and myself that I was going to end this whole thing.

It was time for me to settle down and face the Chief head to head. It was time for me to finally put my foot down and say that it was enough!

Although I felt terrified and conflicted over what I was going to do, the thought of Logan approving of this pushed me forward.

I knew that if Logan was still here with me, he would've told me to do it because he had a huge amount of trust in me. He knew I could do something great, he knew I could stop all of this.

However, my stubbornness got in my way of actually achieving anything and Logan eventually grew impatient of this.

I wanted him back, I wanted him next to me. Logan was the only person who I knew I could trust when I had a problem. Logan was the one who told me to keep going even if I wanted to give up. He was the one who told me to reach the stars and catch each of them, but he was gone now.

Logan wasn't here to tell me all of this. He wasn't here to support me. He wasn't here to push me to do good.

However, besides all of this, I persevered and pushed myself to get up and get mentally ready.

The Chief's train was going to pass by in about an hour and this gave me enough time to think through and actually move on with my plans.

I stood up and got ready. Everyone else was sleeping except Dylan who was sitting by the lake.

I watched him from the door of the ship. He was wearing short brown pants with a yellow shirt. The golden shine of the sun landed softly on the right side of his body while his shadow extended beyond the rocks besides him.

His dark hair turned a bit yellow by the light and his glasses reflected some of the light towards the ground.

He was sitting on the same big rock Nicolas and Nancy were sitting the night before. He was facing the beautiful blue lake with his elbows resting on his thighs and his right hand supported his head.

He looked peacefully quiet. I didn't want to bother him but I still wanted to be by the lake.

That's why I silently walked towards the lake and sat about five feet away from him.

He continued to face forward as I sat down. He didn't say anything or even moved. He was as still as the rock he was sitting on.

I looked forward towards the lake then I turned my head to face him then back towards the lake.

I wanted Dylan to talk to me. It had been months since he had a real conversation with me. I already knew the mistake I made but his silence was torture.

I wanted things to go back to how they were. I wanted us to have deep and long conversations and to joke around with each other. I wanted him to be a part of my life just like he was before.

But everything I did did not work on him. He continued to be silent and isolated from me. He continued to punish me with his attempts of staying away from me.

I looked at him once again and opened my mouth to stay something. However, I decided not to say anything. I knew that the pain he was going through was huge and I thought that it was best to let him have this time of day to himself.

I stood up after a few seconds of thinking about him. I walked back towards the woods and right before I went away, I looked back. His head was facing me, he was looking at me!
