closed my eyes at the feeling. Every time I felt them, it was like being touched by something holy. It was a gift to be able to feel this. Not everyone could. My dad told me it was rare for anyone to actually feel the Elements the way I did. I loved it.
Opening my blue eyes, I knew they were brighter, almost glowing with the power of the Elements coursing through me. I looked around and nodded. Concentrating, I sent heat into every liquid in the room. They started to bubble and fizz as their temperature rose. People were shouting as the carbonated drinks exploded and foamed over like a shaken pop can. Next, I felt the strength of Earth center me. I laid my hands on the table and focused only on our table. It started to tremble and then shake as the earth beneath it churned. I created a mini-earthquake for the Mega Elite.
“Fire and Earth,
I thank thee for thy service
and release thee from my bidding.”
I stood up and released the Elements. Everyone in the room gaped at me. I smiled down at the Three B’s, now covered in exploded pop. “Good enough for you?”
I picked up my bookbag and calmly walked out of the lunchroom.
That should do it.
Chapter Ten
~ Christmas Surprise ~
December 25, 2012
This has been the best Christmas ever! No, scratch that, this has been a Christmas beyond anything I could have imagined! Sebastian came over to my house today with a Christmas rose just for me! OH MY GOD! He brought me a rose! I didn’t think he’d even call me. I mean it’s been DAYS since school let out and nothing. Then out of the blue he shows up on my doorstep wearing that killer sheepish grin and bearing a present. I mean, come on! Sebastian Caine!
He was wearing those worn out jeans of his, and I could see his blue tee-shirt peeking out above the zipper on his leather jacket. His beautiful eyes were full of warmth and his gorgeous hair looked windswept. Though the wind from the incoming snow storm might have helped, but it doesn’t matter. It made the butterflies in my stomach launch and go into overdrive.
I called Susie as soon as he left and she was screaming into the phone. She’s the only one who knows how bad of a crush I’ve had on him since freshman year. I can’t believe he is so sweet! I am still smiling about it. He told me that he tried to find something as beautiful as I was to give me, but even the rose paled in comparison. I nearly fainted on the spot. If it wasn’t for Dad glaring holes into us, I think I might have. Sebastian has a reputation, but he was so nice and so romantic and just so…his smile just makes me melt.
I told Mel all about him and she just raised that eyebrow of hers. I don’t care what she thinks. Sebastian is the hottest guy in school and there is no way I’m not paying attention when he comes around. And let me say it again, he’s so sweet! I can’t believe my luck. I feel like I am literally blessed this Christmas. I have my sister, who is a little weird, but still, she’s my sister and I love her. I have great friends, my family, and now the one guy I always wanted is interested in me. IN ME! Best Christmas ever!
Chapter Eleven
~ Protector ~
I spotted Xavier as soon as I stepped out of the school. He stood by my car, his face pensive and a little sad. I almost turned around and went back inside, but the devil in me wouldn’t hide, even if he was a Hunter sent here to stop me. Danger emanated from him and made me all the more cautious. My dad didn’t raise a fool.
Or maybe he did. Despite the fact that Xavier had the potential to be a lot of trouble for me, I found myself drawn to him. I wanted to run my fingers through his hair, of all things. I had never reacted like this to anyone, and it made me need to find out more. So, me being me, I did what I always did when I got scared. I went on the offensive.
I marched over to my car and gave him my best
