Chapter 1: Snow
Alicia looked out her bedroom window. It had been snowing for hours. She looked down and saw a very depressed looking Tancred stomping into the house. Tancred had wanted snow. Anyone watching him might have said he'd succeeded. But anyone in this house would have thought different. Because just by looking at it Alicia could tell that Tancred had had nothing to do with it. The snow had come all on its own.
And that might have depressed Alicia more than it depressed Tancred. Because Alicia knew the reason Tancred was losing control over his powers. She also knew that if Tancred knew the truth, he would deny it. Because the truth was that ever since he'd started dating Emma, he'd begun to lose control over his endowment.
It wasn't that she hated Emma, because of this. Exactly the opposite. Alicia had nothing against Emma. Emma was one of her best friends in the world.
She heard Tancred stomping up the stairs. He looked into her room and saw her watching him.
"What?" he asked. From his tone of voice she could tell he was in a bad mood.
Alicia looked at him blankly. "So, it didn't work?"
Tancred stomped past her and slammed the door to his room.
Alicia knew she hadn't sounded very sympathetic at all. But, she hadn't meant to. Because if there was one thing she absolutely hated, it was self-pity.
What did you think? There were so many good reviews to my first story; I wanted to type the second one quickly. If any of you plan on writing a story and you want to put Alicia in it you can. I think it would be pretty cool if she showed up in another story. Read and Review Please!
