Chapter 15

Raine's POV

I was standing on the lawn for my second day of training. "Raine now I am going to test your patience level. You need to control the fire with you until I use a safe word 'spit'." It was easy to tell but difficult to do. Was there any option left for me?

Nope. I nodded my head at her. "Now start to meditate for 10 minutes. Control your mind." I did what she said. I heard some birds chirping sound. "Don't let your mind wander Raine." She scolded me harshly. Same as her brother.

"Ok now don't give me that face. You can think of your breath while meditating. It will keep you away from other sounds."

And it worked. Hats off to you Angeline. I completed my meditation. "Listen to me carefully. I will give you some instructions. You need to follow it. You should not fire anything until I use the safe word." I finished her sentence with the word 'spit'.

"Now close your eyes and think of fire." The image of fire formed in my mind. I felt the energy was accumulating inside my body. My nerves were burning in fire. I felt the heat spread throughout my body. I opened my red eyes.

"Raine. Now, look at my eyes for five minutes." I did what she asked. "Now turn to your right and take the sword." I didn't notice the sword which was kept near me. I took it in my hands. Due to the heat, the handle of the sword started to melt like a candle.

"Control your power, Raine. Don't let the fire to melt it." I controlled the flow of heat in my right hand. It did work. Like the fire was listening to my commands. The melting has stopped.

"It's good Raine. Now come and fight me with the sword." I was an average fighter. I went to karate class in my childhood. We were facing each other for the battle. She showed the sword at my right arm. I was not ready for that move. The sword slashed my skin. Blood was dripping from my right arm. I should concentrate on her moves.

She moved the sword across my face. I dodged her move by bending horizontally facing the clouds.

I went back to my position. The fire was surging inside me because of the fight. But I need to control it. I garbed my sword out of its holster, and bring it to my face. I was ready for her next move. We were fighting continuously.

She moved the sword to my left side. But I dipped my head to downward and moved my body behind her. I took the hold of her body by caging her neck with my sword.

"Enough. Go back and stand there." I obeyed her words. "Now keep the sword down."

"Look carefully now. You can see the human-shaped cardboards in between me, Serena, and Jacquelyn. You need to eject the fire at the cardboards." I nodded at her. Serena and Angeline were standing with belief in me. But Jacquelyn was looking like she will shit her pant anytime. I smirked at her.

"But there is one condition. You should use only your fingers to eject the fire." Oh, it's new to me. "Spit" she used the soft keyword. I accumulated my energy in my hands. I flicked my finger to make the fire. And I achieved it. The fire was dancing on my middle finger.

I ejected the fire at the cardboard between Serena and Angeline. I did a victory dance in my head. I heard another spit from her. I smiled at Jacquelyn and ejected the fire over the cardboard.

Both the cardboards were burning. Jacquelyn has tightly closed her eyes with fear. What a pussy cat.

"Now look at the old tree at the corner of the lawn. Eject the fire accurately on the center branch." I looked over the tree. I aimed for the center. "Spit". I launched the fire over the center branch. But a question raised in my mind. Why my aim was missing while attacking my mate.

"This is your final test. Before we were static between the cardboards. Now we are going to move in between the cardboard. There will be no soft words hereafter. You need to fire the boards." Oh, it was a risky business. But I should give a try.

"No Angeline I am not ready for this. she will fire me intentionally. No one can blame her also. I am out of this game." I laughed at her. She was a cat inside a polished lion.

"Jacquelyn you are my assistant. You will not die out of this fire." They were started to move in between the cardboard. My eyes were focused over the cardboard. My ears were listening to their movement. I calculated the steps accordingly. I started to walk towards them.

I ejected the fire at the cardboards perfectly. Wow, I have done it. "Yeah, you have". I heard a voice. But that was not out of anyone standing before me. I searched for the person behind me. No one was there. Maybe my illusion.

"Super Raine. You are perfect more than I expected. You are gifted. Even a born witch will not able to train this much quicker." I thanked her. "Now relax and think of water. Come back home once you are done."

I closed my eyes and thought of the river flowing across the mountain. I opened my eyes when the fire within me was reduced. There was no water around me. But I was drenched with water.

I went inside the house. "Go ahead and have you lunch Raine. You might be famished from the training." I started to munch food. "Ok, Raine. Now you have trained how to control fire. But you need to know one thing. You should not use your power over innocent people. Think wisely before doing such a thing".

That was a lot to take in. But as usual, I nodded at her. After lunch, she asked me to practice with cardboard. After two hours of training, I went to have a bath since I was covered by sweat.

"Raine. Did my brother ask about me"? I felt sorry for her. "Angeline, of course, he did." She was shocked by my reply. "Did he ask himself"?

"No. I made him ask. But don't worry I will make him talk with you." The stupidest thing I have done. Xavier didn't even want to hear her name. How will I make that grumpy old man talk with her?

"Really. You will do it for me." she hugged me with teary eyes. I felt a pang in my heart. Will I able to it? She released me from the hug and smiled at me with her pearl teeth. I can do anything for this smile. I nodded at her.

"Okay go Xavier is waiting for you." Her heart was filled with happiness. My heart was pumping with fear. Okay, you can do it, Raine. You have a handful of tricks. He will fell for at least one.

There he was standing in shorts and a beach t-shirt. He was looking sexy. Oh, where that thought came from. I walked towards him. He hugged me and said, "I missed you". "You missed me or my tantrums". He replied "Both" by quoting in the air.

"Okay, what's with your costume. Are you going somewhere"? "No Baby girl we are going somewhere."

"Can I know where is that somewhere"? He shacked his head with no. "Where is fun if I tell you the place? Wear this dress and come out." He has given me a beach dress and shorts.

I went inside the car to wear it. The car glass was tainted black. So, no one can see inside. I changed the dress and came outside. It fitted me perfectly. "How come you know my size"? He smirked at me. He came near me and said, "It's a secret.".

Stupid grumpy grandpa. "Now come before it gets dark. We need to reach the destination." He was driving the car.
