The Devil In The Girl

Chapter 6 - Powers (pt. 2)

"Good. There's just one more thing I want to teach you..."

"Oh, what is it?"

"I'm going to show you how to project a power." He beamed.

"That sounds weird, what is it?" I asked confusedly.

"If you want to protect a certain someone or a group of people, you can extend a shield of some sort. Its basically the same as the others. You can just think about it and then boom-it happens."

"Well, How can I know when it works then?"

"Obviously, the feeling you get. But also, you can see the shield. Only you though. Its nonexistent to everyone else."

"Oh ok. So just like-"

"Oh, I apologize dear, but I have to go. I have an important meeting I must attend." He said as he looked at me sorrily.

"Oh, ok. We can work on it later I guess." I frowned at the ground.

"If you want to, you can come to..." He grinned.

"No, it's fine, I'll stay here. You go to your meeting." I gave a weak smile.

"Ok then. Try not to cause too much trouble in my absence." And with a wink and a wave, he was gone.

I sat on the floor, bored. It seemed like it would take forever for him to get back. Then, I remember and mumbled to myself "If I have any power, that means I can speed up time!"

I attempted and at first I failed, but I didn't give up. I made sure to repeat the steps correctly and carefully. After I started to feel a tingling sensation, I opened my eyes to see that time was, indeed, going faster. If I didn't see the fire on all the trees sway back and forth at a ridiculous speed, I would've thought nothing had happened. It was also very helpful that I could see a little timer in front of me counting the time.

I fast forwarded almost 4 hours before he was back. I stopped playing with time and smiled hugely at him once I saw him approaching. I could feel he was suspicious, but curiously happy. "What did you do? That smile looks bad..."

"Nothing...except I figured out another power!!!" My face broke with excitement.

"That's cool, which one?" He asked kind of uninterested.

I triumphantly stood up and put my hands on my hips sassily. "Controlling of time." I cleaned my nails like it was no big deal.

He stood there, astonished. "In barely 4 hours!?"

"No, technically it was more like 3 1/2. Before I got to the idea I waited a bit."

"Wow." I heard hands clapping in the distance. "Amazing. I didn't think it was actually true, but here I am, face to face with my kings daughter."

A man advanced from the fire forest. I'm not going to lie, he's my type. Lengthy, but not too tall. Dark eyes, dark hair, muscular. He had a sense of fashion too. I put my tough act on. "Who are you?" I asked while intensely glaring at him.

"Lilly, calm down. This is Jordan." Satan calmly mentioned. "He's one of my old friends and-"

"Ahem, Only friends." He corrected. I couldn't help but let out a quiet chuckle.

"Yes that." He rolled his eyes. "When I told him about the prophecy coming true and you, he didn't believe me. So I brought him here so he can see for himself." Father gestured to me. "I wasn't lying."

"Ok, prove it. What am i-"

"Jordan, age 14 when dead, currently 167. Favorite place is his bedroom. Favorite color is blood red, oh just like me!" I remarked.

His deep chocolate eyes stared at me surprised. "I-I didn't e-"

"Finish your sentence? I know. You didn't need to." I smirked. "You shouldn't underestimate me."

He laughed. "I'll decide that when you get better clothes."

I blushed from embarassment. I forgot I haven't changed since I got here. I didn't smell bad, but my outfit looked like shit. I didn't realize how trashed it got.

"It's fine Lilly. That's another reason why I had Jordan come." He smiled nervously.

"What do you mean?"

"Come, let's have dinner."
