Statera *Chosen At Birth*

Chapter Fifty

Daniel paced back and forth in the clinic's waiting room wishing that they would have stayed in the big city instead of the small castle town that they went to. His aura flickered frantically as he paced while the other patients watched the light coming from his body sparkle like miniature dim fireworks. When Isabel went into the back the nurses had immediately kicked him out of the room and tried to send him to the waiting room. Seeing Isabel in pain made him put up a fight, but she calmed him by promising that everything would be alright. If movies and books had taught him anything is that whenever someone said that, things would end up not be alright. Reluctantly he agreed to go to the waiting room, but the visions of tears running down her face wouldn't leave his nerve wrecked mind. Luckily he was able to keep his aura under control otherwise it'd be drizzling or at most raining.

"Sir... do you mind? You're making me a bit anxious." A kind elderly lady looked up from her book that she rested in her lap.

"Oh I'm sorry ma'am." He replied looking at the lady that sat in front of a blind covered window three rows into the seat s.

"It's quite alright. Here sit next to me." She ushered as he did so. He sat down with a groan as the pressure was taken off his legs and feet. He honestly didn't know how long he'd been pacing. Didn't bother to look at the time when Isabel went to the back.

"What's bothering you?" She asked him as he leaned his head on the wall and took a deep breath trying to not shake his leg.

    "My girlfriend is in the back. Giving birth... Or at least I think she is. They won't let me go back there. When I brought her here she was in a lot of pain." He said with his hand on the arm of the chair.

    "What's going on with your aura?" She asked as another spark went off and she giggled when Daniel looked down embarrassed as another light pop flickered.

    "Been trying to control it. Don't want to make it rain and the town get flooded out." Daniel laughed nervously. She chuckled before looking down at her book.

    "Oh please. We'd get smothered by a mudslide before flooded." She said. Daniel pursed his lips not feeling any better.

    "Rosemary Anillav." A nurse called and then the elderly lady shoved the book into her handbag and started to get up.

    "That'd be me." She chuckled, "I'm sure everything will turn out fine in the end." She beamed a wide motherly smile at him and he returned a hopeful smile. With her gone in the back, where he couldn't go, he went back to being the nervous wreck he had been before. Three more people had been called after that making him feel even worse.

    Hearing the familiar sound of heels walk into the waiting room, Daniel watched as Bestienna look around for him and she smiled before casually walking towards him, "You're not wearing a dress." Daniel commented, feeling the weight of his frantic aura lift as it calmed.

    "No I'm not and you're overly stressed." Bestienna laughed before sitting down. Daniel looked at his arm that was glowing teal instead of the normal sapphire blue, "Don't be confused or alarmed, I'm calming you're aura so you don't cause a premature monsoon." Bestienna laughed while Daniel's aura darkened to its normal sapphire color.

    "Thank you for that. So you can control people's emotions?" Bestienna nodded crossing her legs.

    "Not really. More so calm auras." She admitted, "I haven't really tested it, the idea of it seems cruel." She said and Daniel thought about it and then agreed.

    "Anyway how are you doing?" She finally asked him. He planted his elbows on his legs and leaned forward with his chin in his hands like a pouting child.
