His words were running around her head.
I'm a sorcerer, I'm a sorcerer, I'm a sorcerer.
She felt sick and scared. The last person who was a sorcerer used her and images exploded in her mind.
Janice screaming, her body being controlled by a force she+ couldn't fight. Tears fell from her eyes and she whimpered.
She ran past her father who didn't seem to care and the other person who looked at me curiously as she went to the backyard and sat down on the stairs.
She didn't know how long she stayed out there but she decided to walk back into the room when she felt better. Her dad was still talking with the other person.
"Hey, is everything okay?" the man said. He looked at her with trust and honesty in his eyes. "I'm Kit, a friend of your dad's."
"I'm Mira, and yes, I'm fine." She looked at her dad but he just pretended to be busy with his shirt.
She was hurt that he didn't even try to talk to her. He only paid attention to her brothers and Jessie.
The doorbell rang and her father practically ran from the room to get it. "I got it."
Tears welled up and she wiped them away and sighed. "Hey, here." Kit said as he gave her a tissue.
"You sure everything's okay? You look kinda down."
"No, it's just…" She hesitated but his eyes showed so much trust and understanding, she just had to tell him. "My dad never pays any attention to me. Ever since I escaped he always acts weird around me so I just get out of his way. Besides, he seems to be more interested in my brothers anyways. I'm used to it."
"Well, I'm sure you're father is trying to deal with the situation. You're a beautiful girl and you shouldn't be crying. If you need anything, anything at all, just talk to me."
"Thanks." and for the first time, she felt better about the situation and she hugged him tightly and gratefully before going back into the living room.
The guys were already eating the pizza.
"Mira! You're back. Is everything okay?" Jess said as she came to hug me. She hugged her back.
"Yeah, everything's fine. No biggie."
"Oh good, well you need to meet them. They're so cool. This one is Chloe, she's a necromancer, her mate is Derek, who's a werewolf and Tori is a witch who just so happens to imprint with your brother."
"No way!"
"Way!"
"Oh my god!" She said, laughing a bit.
She didn't bother to introduce Simon since she figured out they had already met.
"What are you guys watching?"
"Treasure Planet. I just love Jim, he is so fine, and I just want to eat him up!"
"Hey, what about me?" Mike said, playfully nuzzling her neck. She giggled and hugged him.
"Hey, you know I have eyes only for you."
"You better." He kissed her on the lips sweetly and Samira looked away, feeling intrusive.
She saw Simon who was staring at her with a weird look in his eyes and she suddenly felt self-conscious.
About half-way through the movie, she started to fell nostalgic since Janice loved Treasure Planet and they watched it so much, they knew the movie by heart.
"Hey, uh, Jess…" she whispered.
"Hm?" she didn't bother to turn around since she was so engrossed in the movie, looking at Jim who was chasing Morph around for his boot.
"I'm going to leave okay, I feel tired."
"Okay."
She stood up and walked away, noticing that everyone was either snuggled together or kissing.
She felt tears well up in her eyes as she walked out the door into the front porch.
She wiped her tears away as she sat down on the porch, looking at the stars and hugging her knees.
She didn't hear the door open as Simon came out. "May I sit down?"
Normally, she would've been angry and say no but her heart just wasn't into it.
"I guess."
She felt his warmth from his body and instinctively moved closer to him.
They didn't talk for a long time, but the silence wasn't uncomfortable..
"Is everything okay?" he asked me quietly.
She sighed debating whether or not she should tell him about what was bothering her.
She gave in.
"No, the movie makes me remember someone and it brings back memories."
"Oh, who was he?"
"It wasn't a he, it was a she and she's dead."
"I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault she died, it was mine…" She clasped her mouth shut before she could continue
He frowned slightly which she thought was cute but then his face saddened.
"What happened?" he asked sincerely. Her heart felt like telling him everything but her mind was battling.
She felt tears in her eyes and she didn't try to stop them as they fell down her cheeks.
"Hey, don't cry. I'm sorry." He got closer and tried to clean her tears but she cleaned them herself.
"It's complicated. I can't even begin to describe." Her voice was cracking and she was trying to swallow past the lump in her throat.
"You can tell me. You'll feel better if you do." His voice was trusting and when she looked into his eyes, she felt like she was the only person in the world with this super hot guy who…she shouldn't be fantasizing about.
Maybe he'll leave her alone if she told him how much of a freak she was.
"Come on, Mira, you can tell me."
She took a couple of deep breaths and answered.
"There's a reason why my brothers acted weird when you said you were a… sorcerer."
He nodded and encouraged her with his smile.
"I'm not a normal."
He chuckled and grinned.
"Mira, I don't think any one of us is normal."
He shook her head, her chest ready to explode all at once how she was feeling. "No, I'm beyond that. I'm the only one of my kind that can control water without seeing it."
"But there must be some people like that."
"No one, not even my mom." Her chest tightened again as she thought about her mom.
"Oh, where is she?" He sounded wary.
"She's dead. I don't know what happened but I know she's dead..." tears fell from her eyes and this time she didn't move when Simon wiped them away.
"Hey, don't cry. You're too pretty to be crying." She jerked her head and moved away from him.
"You don't understand, Simon. Because of me, my mom is dead! Because of ME, my best friend is dead! Because of ME, my father acts like I don't exist!"
She stood up and could feel herself losing into the darkness as she saw the water become visible.
"Mira, calm down!" Simon said, standing up and grabbing her arms.
She couldn't control the rage and anger and pain rising in her body that had her shaking. She tried to control herself so she wouldn't give in to the darkness looming inside her.
"I can't. It's…too much!" She couldn't control herself and felt tears falling down her cheeks like waterfalls.
She didn't resist as Simon pulled her into a hug and comforted her, she didn't resist as he helped her sit beside him and let her cry her heart out into his shirt.
After a long time, she calmed down and felt herself warming up. She felt lighter. Through her sobs and tears, she told Simon everything, their escape, her powers, her dark side, what she did to Janice, everything.
