Demi-God: Will of the Gods

Angela had what every teenage girl dreams of; extreme beauty. She was popular in school and had lots of friends. She led a happy life, but her mother died in a tragic accident when she was young. Or, so she thought. When Angela meets a strangely familiar woman unexpectedly, dangers surround her. She is escorted to a camp, being left behind. It's there that she learns her heritage.

Chapter Five

Training was easy for me. All we learned today was that you can only make teleportation pearls on full moons. And that they take a lot of energy out of you when you make them.

But the romance part of the training was awkward. Although it would most likely come in handy later on, it was just weird how well we could change others' emotions to fit it to someone who desperately wants them. We had a demonstration with an extremely confused couple.

Our teacher-Mr. Kiln-was the person to show us what to do. He wrote in on the whiteboard and it seemed really simple. All we had to do was think about how we wanted the teenage boy to react to the teenage girl-obviously we were trying to get them to fall in love.

So Mr. Kiln made eye contact with the boy and said aloud, "You're falling for the girl behind me. Very slowly, though." He mumbled. The boy looked to the girl behind Mr. Kiln with a small smile. Mr. Kiln said the same thing to the girl and she reacted the same way.

But it was then that we learned the bad parts of our being able to change others' emotions; we could do it at any time and not know it. They could have sunglasses on and they would still change emotions. If it was an accident, we had to change it right back to their previous emotion.

But all this made me feel so insecure around Todd. I was suddenly scared that I'd change his emotions someday and not realise it until later on. And then I'd feel awful. And I would have to change it back to his old emotion. And he would remember what I'd done and most likely be mad at me.

I walked home from training that day with nothing to say. I didn't make eye contact with anyone in fear I'd change their emotions. But I listened carefully to how Todd's training went. He learned how to use the water to heal himself, how and when to use it as a weapon, and even how to pull water out of thin air.

It sounded amazing.

I got to my cabin and put my stuff down after training. I had just noticed that I had yet to meet any of my siblings yet. I growled lowly, clenching my fists. I'd heard rumors already about my siblings. And they weren't good. I sighed, unleashing my anger silently.

I cooked a nice dinner, studying the simple notes I'd taken during training. They were relatively easy to memorise. Things like how to change others' emotions and the basics of making teleportation pearls.

I hated the awful silence so much that, after about an hour, I had to admit that I missed Todd's company. I sighed, washing my dishes slowly. I crawled into bed slowly.
