Discovering

The War Zone

Cassie's P.O.V

"What do I have to do?" I asked the voice.

Even though I couldn't see the voice I know that it was probably smiling right now.

"You need to use your power for something bigger, for something much greater than yourself, you need to use your power as a means to survive."

"And how do I do that?" I asked the voice.

The voice chuckled, "Pour your emotions into your power, feel it running through your veins and unleash the anger that is within you."

"Um, I'm not exactly angry, well, at anything," I told the voice.

The voice chuckled again, "You are, you're angry because though matter how hard you try, you can't seem to find the truth, you're angry because your parents told you they don't know where you come from but really they do. You're angry because you have been lied to your entire life and I will give you a new reason to be angry, Drave is keeping something big from you, something he doesn't want to tell you."

I know I should probably be really angry. The voice pointed out every single thing in my life to be angry and furious about but for some strange reason I wasn't. Yeah, Drave is probably hiding something from me and yeah my parents lied to me and yeah I can't find the truth but actually I have no idea why I am not angry, I just wasn't.

"If you are not angry, then I have no idea how to help you. Call me when you get angry," and with that the voice was gone.

Well, that was interesting. First, torture me, then say you'll help me and leave because I'm not angry. Well, I had weirder days.

I turned and looked at Drave who was staring at me like a dumb idiot.

"What?" I asked him.

"Um, you were just standing there for like ten minutes now, while there's a war happening around us," he said sounding slightly intrigued.

"Just come on," I told him.

And we headed outside into a war zone.

Druim was trying to trash talk his way out of a fight. Maddie was flirting her way out of a fight. While Matthew was the only one doing something useful, he had a sword in his hand and trying desperately to actually fight his way out of the fight. Did that even make sense?

"What's the plan?" I asked Drave.

"We go," he said.

"And?" I asked.

"We punch, we kick, we hack, we slash and try not to get killed."

"And?" I asked again.

"That's the best I got," and he charged into battle.

I used my power even though it was exhausting. Probably because I don't know, nobody bothered to give me a weapon or a proper plan.

I had no idea how to channel my anger because I wasn't even angry. Or was I? I thought of every thing in my life that had happened to me so far. Everything I should be angry about and everyone to be angry with.

It all started of when I was born, I was apparently sent to Earth and would be called upon when I was twenty to fight some war or so the letter said. I thought about Maddie who said she didn't know Druim but really knew him. Then my parents who lied to me by saying they had no idea who I really am. Then for that stupid voice trying to make me angry and wasn't very successful at it. A million and one thoughts raced through my head at the same time and I just poured all my emotions into my power. Wait a minute, I think I figured it out. Is that what the voice meant by channeling my anger into my power? I think it is.
