The Hybrid Queen [1]

Chapter Twenty-Five

Katherine's POV:

I was breathing hard, the air in my lungs entering and exiting my body with difficulty, my hands were sweating; I wanted so bad for this to be over and for all of us to go back home. I wanted this nightmare to go home; to cry properly over Angelina that was lying next to me, cold as the Antarctic waters.

"Please, please" I whispered.

The flames were diminishing, the vapor was clearing, and there he was; a corpse, burnt, a head on the ground; within seconds the body crumbled into ashes. I breathed the breath that was wanting to leave my body.

I turned around with tears in my eyes; of sadness or relieve; I was totally emotional. We had won but my best friend was dead. I hugged her with all my force. I caress her cheek. "I'm so sorry, Angelina... Please forgive me for not being strong enough to prevent this."

I suddenly wished I had the power of water so that I could heal her, but that would be impossible.

I felt an incredible pain in my back that made my body turn into a painful angle. "Argh!!" I started hearing my bones cracking, first, my arm broke then my other. "What is happening to her?!?" Sepherus ran to me, catching me before I fell to the ground. My eyes starting changing colors.

I was seeing different visions at the same time; one closer, one far. Everything was detailed. I had a burning sensation all over my body; Simultaneously out of the leftover of ashes came a blue light, that quickly entered my mouth.

It was cold and fresh, I didn't feel afraid. But I didn't understand what was happening. It threw me backward, taking Sepherus with me.

We crashed against a small emerald rock. "Kiona was only a few meters away from us and her eyes held poor shock. "Could it be? But.. It's just a legend. Sepherus! Bring me to Katherine!" She ordered.

Sepherus left me and brought her. She was still very weak from the hit she took from Lucien. She grabbed my arms and she checked my eyes that were now one blue and the other red. "It has to be!". She seemed more excited than me. I was still in pain. "What is it?" Sepherus said, worried laced in every word.

"In legends, it is said that if one hybrid kills another, it will inherit their powers. Now everything makes sense! Lucien wanted your powers to become The original hybrid, master of all four elements. You were the original hybrid when you gain all your marks, Now you are the original hybrid: Controller of all four elements. You can control the four elements now! Try it!" Kiona explained while at the same time I was trying to keep my calm.

So, I have those powers? Am I now complete? I'm now the original hybrid: Controller of all four elements?

Cool.

But how do I do it?

Katherine, we are now complete! Move your arms, softly. Water and air are humble yet powerful elements. They are different than fire and earth. They are their opposites. Just think the opposite of what you've learned. Kiona is right. We are now the original Hybrid.: the controller of all four elements. A title passed down, every thousand years, where, only one hybrid can control all the four elements.

I'm so excited! We can heal all of our friends! Go Go, try bending the water pond. There is still enough water. Angelina said.

I will try. Not an expert. I gently moved my arms but what I had in my head didn't go as plan; the water jolted upwards like a waterfall. "Sorry, my bad." My body was still aching, but it wasn't as overwhelming.

I moved my arms even more gentle and it started moving towards us, going up and down since I didn't know how to control it.

Breathe in breathe out.
