"Asintaisca motian dimensianire!" I said again.
It was around eight AM and I was in the attic trying to summon that idiotic lady.
"For heavens sake!" I exclaimed. "When I don't want to see your face you show up, but when I need your help with something you're nowhere to be found!"
I felt like throwing the rock at something.
All right, I thought. I'll try it one last time.
"Asintaisca motian dimensianire," I concentrated on how much I wanted to make things right. "Please come…"
"You finally figured out how to control it," the tiny room was full of cigarette smoke.
"Look lady," I snapped. "I get it, okay. I screwed up. Lesson learned. But Daisuke and Satoshi shouldn't have to suffer for it."
"I agree," said the woman. "How did this all begin?"
"I dreamed and wished as hard as I could that I could meet them," I replied. "You know that."
"And would you say the effects have been…positive?" she asked, sucking in on her cigarette.
I looked down. "No. How can I fix it?"
"Who were you thinking of when you used magic for the first time?" asked the lady, eyeing me critically.
"Myself," I replied. "I just wanted something for me. And I hurt them."
"Why don't you try thinking of someone other than yourself when you use magic," replied the woman.
"Of course!" I exclaimed. "Like…asking them before I use magic on them."
The woman was gone.
I went downstairs just as the doorbell rang.
I answered the door. It was Daisuke.
"Miss Krista!" he said. "Um…can I come in?"
"Sure," I said. "Daisuke. Do you remember anything from the other night…when I awakened the Black Wings?"
Daisuke's eyes widened. "Miss Kuri…I…um…what do you remember?"
"Just that you saved my life," I replied. "I wanted to thank you. And apologize. I used magic selfishly and…I hurt you. So I'm sorry."
"It's okay," Daisuke said.
There was a pause.
"Why did you save me, Daisuke?" I asked. "I mean…I brought Krad back…I would think you would hate me…"
"I couldn't just leave you…" Daisuke replied. "You were dying…"
I sucked in my breath. No…I can't keep falling for him. I know I'm going to have to leave and I won't be able to do it if I'm in love with him.
"Daisuke…" I said softly, locking eyes with him. "I'm going to make things right. I-I don't want you to be sorry you met me."
His eyes widened slightly.
"I…um…I came to tell you…I can come to your party," he said. "Thanks for inviting me."
I blushed slightly. "Good. Okay. Can't wait!"
As soon as he was gone I ran into my room. "Maia! What are you thinking?"
"Well, I want your party to be perfect," Maia said. "And I told you it needed boys."
