“Bullshit. You have the humans locked in cages like animals? What kind of monsters are you?” I ask.
“They are not like us. We had to contain them before they cause irreparable damage to our realm trying to get back to their own. We couldn’t allow that to happen. They aren’t like us, like you.” Rosaline’s body shakes with her anxiety.
“That gives you the right to cage them like animals? No, it fucking doesn’t. Then you have the audacity to tell me all that bullshit all the while your men are trying to shove my friends into cages? Is that what I’m hearing?”
My magic is a whirlwind of electricity in my gut, crackling angrily and desperate to get out. I’m oh so tempted to unleash on these assholes. How dare they separate us and then attempt to take my friends from me.
Taking a step forward and to the side to avoid Jayden’s attempt to pull me back away from the fight, I snarl at Axel. “What the fuck is happening here?”
“This is village business and none of your concern, female.” Axel adjusts his grip on his sword.
“I already told you what I’ll do to you if you call me that again and my magic is dying to come out and fry your ass so I’m going to ask one more time. What. The. Fuck. Do. You. Think. You’re. Doing?”
“Um, B? You’re glowing. Maybe take a breath before you go supernova or something and kill us all,” Raven whispers.
I can barely hear her words through my pulse pounding in my ears and the crackling energy of my magic. Is it even possible to go supernova? It’s something I’ll have to look into but I’m not sure I’ll get answers since I shouldn’t technically exist.
“Jayden, I’m spinning out,” I mumble.
Or maybe I yell it. I’m not even sure anymore. White lightning crackles along every nerve ending, shooting sparks out from my body, widening the circle around me. I’m really going to go supernova and kill everyone in this village.
“Help,” I say.
The magic is already taking over and pushing me to the background. It wants death and destruction and I am powerless to stop it.
