All day she wanted to get outside and just breathe. The air was thick in the summer in New Orleans, but she truly felt it was the only time she was comfortable. Viola sat on the ground outside of the school and looked up at the sky. She could see a storm brewing and she could sense the electricity in her veins. When she first called a storm, she went way overboard and there was nothing but rain and flooding for days. She tossed the electric feeling from hand to hand, picturing the energy taking shape between her fingers. She wanted to be able to focus and try again. Of course she wasn't supposed to, and of course the Headmistresses would be angry with her, but she felt it in her stomach. [break][break] This time it was going to work. [break][break] She let the magic spread through her body and wake up every nerve ending in her body. She felt her stomach flip and flop, probably a sign she should stop but she was determined. She could do this. [break][break] She could do this.[break] She could do this.[break] She tossed the energy back into her right hand, a deep breath. She could do this. [break] Back to the left. This would happen.[break][break] Summoning all of her training, all of her knowledge, all of her everything, she sent the energy into the air and heard the crack of thunder above her head. Looking up, Viola dodged out of the way as a lightening strike zapped the tree over her head and caused a branch to fall where she had been standing. [break][break] She didn't have it.[break][break] Viola rolled over to her back and looked up at the sky, the storm clouds still darkened overhead, unmoved by her best efforts. Viola sighed and rubbed her hands into the grass, trying to relieve the tingling in her finger tips. The door to the school opened and she tilted her head back to get a view of who was coming from upside down, [break] "Oh, hi! How are you?" |
