***Rylee’s P.O.V.***
Two weeks later
“Wyatt!!” I shouted running through the hallway to his office. “Wyatt! Wyatt!” I burst through the door and leaped into his arms.
“Whoa! What’s wrong?”
“I did it!”
“Did what?”
“I controlled water!”
“You did!?”
“Yeah, while I was in the bathtub,”
“What did you do?”
“I made a small whirlpool,”
“Uhhh…Dearest anyone can make a small whirlpool in the tub, it’s called moving your hand really fast in the water,”
“At what point did I say I did the whirlpool in the tub? I said I was in the tub, I never said the whirlpool was,” he gave me a look of confusion. “I used the water from the tub and created a midair whirlpool, only for like three seconds, but I still did it,” Wyatt smiled at me and hugged me tightly.
“Three seconds is better than zero, good job, dearest,” After Wyatt told me everything that he had learned while reading the little black book in the archives, I came into the power of controlling earth’s elements. Fire was the first one I controlled, and it was all by a freak accident. Us ranked members were sitting in the recreation room making smores by the fireplace when one of the pieces of wood popped and sent sparks of ember onto the carpeting causing a small fire.
Upon instinct, I put my hand up to shield myself from the ember, but instead, I found myself actually containing the small fire. Kaleigh told me to close my hand, and sure enough, the more I closed my hand, the smaller the flame became. When I closed my hand fully, the small fire died, as well the fireplace. This of course freaked everyone out, but I got super excited. The second element I found to able to control was air. Three days ago, there was a large thunderstorm that passed through, and the wind was really strong. So strong in fact, it blew our bedroom window open, and again, upon instinct, I used my hands to shield myself but found that I stopped the wind.
I pushed my hand and saw the wind being forced back the way it came and was able to actually prevent it from causing serious damage to our room. It didn’t mean that wasn’t already damage when the wind forced our window open, but it could have been much worse. Since then, I had been trying to control water, but it was taking more effort, but I realized that a lot of reactions to anything involving elements happened out of fear or instinct, so I focused on that and created the small whirlpool. When I saw that I succeeded, I quickly jumped out of the tub, got dressed, and ran straight to Wyatt to brag.
Although I’ve been at Blue Lake for just over a month now, my life has changed so drastically, and I don’t think I would change it back for the world. The pack is amazing, Wyatt is amazing, and all of our friends are amazing. Overall, my life is amazing, and I can actually say that I am happy. Wyatt makes me so happy. Wyatt actually started to go back to work, and I don’t mean packhouse work. I found out that Wyatt actually runs a large architecture company that helps build models of houses, hotels, apartments, and condominium complexes.
After hearing about how well Wyatt’s company does, it made me realize what Milan meant the day we went shopping when I first arrived about how rich Wyatt’s family actually was. The company has been in the family for three generations, starting from Wyatt’s grandfather, and was passed down to Ronan, and then to Wyatt when he turned 19. Wyatt spent the last several years building the company in addition to building the pack. The amount of work that he has been doing almost made my head spin. I couldn’t understand how he was able to do everything on his own basically.
When Wyatt was busy at work, Kendrick took care of the packhouse politics in addition to Beta’s duties. Melody, Milan, and I have become very close, and they’ve been secretly teaching me how to do s****l favors so that I can eventually do them to Wyatt. Wyatt never complains when we have s*x and hasn’t forced me into anything. I’m hoping that I could start putting my other skills to the test while we are in bed, rather than me just projecting images of what I want him to do to me. “Oh my god, I’m so excited!” I exclaimed like a little kid while still in his arms.
“I’m surprised you were able to do it on your own, but I’m also proud that you’re trying to harness your powers willingly,” I smile and kiss him. I project images of us having s*x, but he immediately pulls back. “Sorry, baby, but I have a lot of packhouse work to do,” “Awww…Okay,” he kissed me once more and put me down. “I’m going to go outside and see if I can control the snow. I wonder if I can build a snowman,” “Okay, wear something warm, and your snow boots,”
“I will!” I shout as I skip out the door. I go back to our room and put on a jacket, a scarf, and my new snow boots. The temperature has been dropping below freezing at night now, and the rainstorm a few nights ago was followed by a small snowstorm. Although it didn’t snow a lot, it did snow enough, and the cold temperatures have been keeping it from melting too fast. Additionally, being the mountains made the temperature a lot colder than down in the city.
I went out into the backyard and stood by the fountain. The water was frozen, and I could see some of the fish were actually still alive beneath the ice in the water. I decided to test out my powers. I held my hand and concentrated on the ice. I focused on my fear of potentially drowning since I didn’t really know how to swim. The fear of water is actually what made me love it; I know that sounds really strange, but it was true. When I felt myself connect with the ice, I slowly closed my hand, the ice started to crack. “Come on, just a little more,” I said out loud and concentrated even harder, squinting my eyes as I felt the solid ice basically fighting back. I closed my hand and then the ice shattered into the fountain. I held out both hands and used my power of telepathy to lift all of the ice out of the fountain and placed it in the snow. The more I played with my powers, the better I got at it.
“Wow, Rylee, you’re really starting to get then hang of everything,” I turned around and saw Kendrick and Melody. “Hi, guys,” I smiled.
“So, you’ve mastered the water element, huh?” Kendrick said.
“I can’t stay that I’ve mastered it, but I’m getting the hang of it after playing in the bathtub earlier,” I replied.
“What are you doing out here?” Melody asked.
“I’m going to try and harness the earth element,” I answered.
“How?”
“I’m going to build a snowman,”
“Just don’t bring it to life,” Melody said, and I just looked at her.
“Uhhh…I don’t think that’s one of my powers,” I replied.
“That’s not…Ummm…I was referencing the movie Frozen,” she said.
“I don’t know what that is,”
“What!?” she exclaimed. “Ok, yeah, no, before you build a snowman, we’re going to go watch the movie,” she said and pulled me inside
“Melody, but I want to play in the snow!” I whined.
“You can play in the snow all you want when winter actually comes, trust me, we get plenty of snow here,” I pouted as she dragged me back into the packhouse and straight to the recreation room. She turned on the TV and put a DVD into the player. “You girls have fun, I’m going to go hang out with Wyatt and help him with pack work,”
“Okay, babe,” Kendrick gave her a kiss and left us to our movie.
As the movie played I watched intently and found myself quickly intrigued. A story of a young girl with powers that she can’t control, and her parents dying and then her powers getting out of control. The scene where she sings and runs away to the mountains finally controlling her powers is what intrigued me the most. The song she was singing also really spoke to me.
Throughout the entire movie, I felt like I was in a daze, and I finally understood what she meant about me bringing the snowman to life. I never knew this movie existed, but I wish I had. I felt like the heroine in many aspects, and I decided to use her as my muse to help me develop my powers. Fear is what drove her powers to be uncontrollable, but love is what allowed to her rein it all back in. I already had that, I had love on my side because I had Wyatt and everyone else around me. When the movie ended, I got up and decided to go back outside to try and build my snowman by channeling what I saw in the movie.
“Oh, I think I know what to do!” I shout.
“Hey!” Melody shouted back at me, but I was already out the door. I quickly put my boots and jacket back on and went outside. I stood to the right-field next to the castle which looked like it had the most snow built up. I shook my anxiety and nervousness and thought back to the movie. Fear and love, fear and love, fear, and love, were the only two things that played in my mind. I thought about the song and focused on the snow. I held my hand, and gently raised it in the air and found the snow was starting to come with it
I thought about what I did with the whirlpool in the bathtub and started to move my hand in circular and swirling motions. I watched as the snow turn into a medium-sized ball and then I gently placed it back on the ground.
