“Hey Kenya watch
this! I’ve been practicing more!” Skyla called out to her younger sister as she
managed to pick up a rather large book and place it on a desk without touching
it.
“How are you doing
that?”
“Don’t know, but I
did it before when I got mad at Timmy a long time ago.” Sky replied still not
totally sure of her gift. She started to focus on things that were much more heavy,
“I almost had it,
that one to heavy though.”
“Maybe later you can
do it.
“Yeah maybe, but I
want to do it now! So I can get my Cuddi to like me
again.”
“Your
not going to try to go back there are you?”
“Not with that other
guy there, he hurts to much.” Skyla replied wincing
remembering the last time she had ran into Plucki. That had not been pretty.
“Well you were the
crazy one who pulled all that stuff.”
“Be quiet Joy!”
Skyla snapped as she turned her back on her older sister. And
went back to moving objects about with her magic.
“Well it’s true, if
you would have just let him alone, and you wouldn’t have,….
OW!” Joy looked to see what had hit her, the book that Sky had been lifting the
Joy’s normally calm eyes turned into lasers, “SKYLA I’m GONNA GET YOU FOR THAT!”
Joy yelled starting to chase after her sister.
Kenya watched for a moment, before Darcy walked into the room seeing the
red mark on Joy she could tell what must have happened, she took hold of Skyla
and drug her to own room and set the little girl on the bed,
“You get to sit her
until Mamma, gets back and don’t even try to get up, or pull your fancy trick.
You I’ll make things worse for you. Got it!” Seeing
the teen like this, Skyla backed up and nodded with tears, she hated the fact
that Darcy had gotten like this and was getting worse by the day at least
that’s what it seemed.
Tanni tended to Joy’s welt,
“I think it’ll be
fine.” Tanni said as she put the stuff up,
“But I would let
Mamma look at it when she gets in from the barns.” Joy nodded. I had just come
in the door at that point. Seeing the spot, I took a good look at it.
“You should have
left her be like she told you to,” I informed when she told me what happened. I
was going to have to let Sky know how she was to use that magic that was strengthening
by the day. I had known that she could do something but wasn’t to sure of what
all yet, it was time to see. I headed to Darlita’s
room.
“Skyla come with me,
I took her into the living room.
“I want you to show
me what all you can do with that magic of yours.”
“I can only pick
things up Mamma!”
“That’s not true,
Skyla, I seen you change colors on something just the other day, now show me
what all you can do.”
“But those are all I
can do!”
“Just show me.”
Seeing she had no choice she did as asked. I was impressed with the child’s abilities. The object could be lifted with only her
eyes, and the object would change with her touch if she wanted it to.
“Thank you, now was
that so hard?”
“Yes!” She snapped
looking warn, that’s something that I noticed again that every time she looks
tired like that she’s used her power. I decided to make a mental note of that
for future purpose.
“I do want you in
your room and in your bed for the evening, because of the attack on your
sister, and Joy I want you to do the same,
“But I,.. I,…”
“It seemed like you
were picking on her! Joy, Bed for you now!”
“I’m going.” She
said with her head hung.
