A/N: This is the sequal to Glowing. It also works stand alone though, and is a lot more interesting. Glowing was just fluff, but this acutally, kinda has a point. Ya, I don't actually know how many chapters it's going to be, just however much I feel like, till all my ideas are done. There should be one more chapter tonight, but not tommorow cause I haven't kept up on my math homework.

Read and Review please!!


Everyone was trying to find the easiest way to get to their next class. The storm was growing strong outside and it wasn't safe to walk outside.

Michelle stuck with Tris as she went to see Professor Clearwater. "What is it you wanted to see me about Professor?"

After a considering look at Michelle, he said, "I was hoping to see a private display of your powers. I've never seen anything like what you did with the lightning and you're darkening shield was powerful. For you to be able to both, without losing concentration is quiet impressive."

Michelle looked suddenly nervous. "That's okay, I'll just go-"

"No, I trust Michelle, Professor. I want her too know what I can do too. I'll be too wiped to do two shows today."

"Alright then, it's your choice. Unfortunately the weather is making it hard to have a private, warded place for this right now."

"Seeing that my power is mainly in weather, I think the best place would be outside."

"Tris, are you insane? That's a powerful storm. Unless you can send it away in two minutes, or stop it cold, it would be plain stupid to go out there."

"I'm not stupid enough to try and stop nature, Michelle. I made that mistake years ago."

Professor Clearwater looked rather curious. "What do you mean?"

Tris let out a little sigh. She didn't like telling people about her major screw-up. "When I first started learning magic, I centered on tides and stars. I was curious and stupid enough to try and stop the tides." Both people gasped, with widened eyes, and Tris went on, "It was horribly painful. It felt like the tide was pulling on my bones for days and I was bedridden the whole time."

"You're lucky to have lived."

Michelle just looked curious.

"You have no idea how many experiences that sums up for me. I can't stop this storm; I could send it away but that would take too much energy to move a storm this big. I'd be too tired to really show you anything. How ever, I can control the winds, repel lightning, bring up warmth from the earth and create a shield for the rain."

"Alright then, lead the way."
