Chapter Fifty-Six - Training Part 1

KARA

I laid on the training ground, panting tiredly. Xandar squatted beside me, "You got it, just need a little more practice."

I told the Council about my powers and they agreed to let Xandar train me. We've been working on energy manipulation for the entire of this morning. I was able to summon the energy- that was a really cool purple color- but still couldn't control it well enough.

After a minute, I pushed myself up and stood.

"Alright princess, let's do this from the top."

I focused and let the energy run through my veins. I opened my palms and purple energy emitted from them. It felt like cold air was surrounding my hands as I tried to control.

"Make it into a ball and throw it at the target," Xandar said beside me. I rolled it into an imperfect energy ball and looked at the target. It was only twenty feet away but I managed to mess it up.

I levitated the energy on my hand and made sure this time, the ball actually hits the target.

Aiming for the red circle, I threw it and it exploded at the target.

Fricking finally.

The first few times, I lost control of the energy and it blew up in our faces. Then at some point, I managed to throw it but it went until halfway before exploding.

Xandar gave me a pat on the back, "Good job, a few more times and we can move on to the elementals."

I groaned before summoning an energy ball.

After getting myself drenched for the seventh time, I took a towel and sat on the floor, drying myself. Xandar sat next to me stifling his laughter. I rolled my eyes, "It's not funny."

At that, he burst out laughing. He laughed so much that he rolled around on the floor, holding his stomach and tears coming out from his eyes.

I keep forgetting that he's thirty.

After somewhat drying myself, I got up and conjured up a wave of water. I held it up with my hands and threw it at that laughing wizard. He jumped from the cold liquid and glared at me while it's my turn to laugh.

Dirt and mud covered us as I tried to summon a tree one more time. After successfully getting it, I threw it at the other trees and it knocked down the ones in its way.

"Well, at least you got it," Xandar said while wiping the dirt off his face and hair. He then moved the trees back in its place, helping me clean up.

After finishing, it was already dinner time. I bid goodbye to Xandar as we parted ways. He went to a hotel in the White Moon pack and I walked back to the pack house.

I walked up to the bedroom, remembering to mind link Connor.

I'll be down for dinner in twenty. – Kara

Take your time, mio amore. – Connor

I entered the room and immediately walked to the closet to pull out a loose tank top and legging before walking into the bathroom to shower and change.

I walked down the steps towards the dining room and saw them just about to eat. Elisa noticed me and waved, "Kara, come, let's eat."

I sat down in my seat and dug in with the others. I felt Connor poke my mind and connected.

I'm guessing today's fun? – Connor

If you count having things explode in your face, getting drenched and dirty 'fun', then yeah. – Kara

You'll do fine, love. I missed you. – Connor

I missed you too. How're you doing, being in the wheelchair and all? – Kara

It's alright. Edward and Jacob's been helping each other, but they still miss you like crazy. – Connor

I'll talk to them before bed. – Kara

I think you should spend tonight with Jacob. He's not getting better when you're not around. – Connor

What if you need anything? – Kara

I'll be fine. Edward's staying over and if I need anything, I'll just text him. – Connor

Alright then. – Kara

At night, after making sure Connor and Edward were settled nicely in their rooms, I walked over to Jake's and knocked on his door.

"Jake? May I come in?"

"Yeah..."

His voice was broken and a wave of guilt washed over, threatening to drown me. I gently opened the door and closed it silently behind me. I put my phone on the bedside table before sitting beside his still figure. He still gets slightly frightened when there's sudden physical contact, but it's getting better.

"Jake, let's go to bed, okay?" I said softly and noticed his shallow breathing. There was silence until his head slowly tilted up and down. I helped him get on the bed before getting in myself. He cautiously wrapped an arm around my waist to pull me closer and I let him.

He buried his nose in my hair and smelled, "I missed you..."

"I missed you too."

"Sleep time...?"

"Yes. Time for bed, Jake."

He shuffled a bit so I was engulfed in his warmth.

"Night, kitten..."

"Good night, Jake."

I waited patiently until he fell asleep as his breathing regulated, only allowed myself to fall asleep.
