And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

The words I spoke were me, but then again, they weren't. It was as if my subconscious was tired of the bullshit and finally spoke of everything that had rolled through my mind over the years.

It seemed to hit my brother hard with what I said, but he tried to distract me. Something I wasn't prepared for.

I hadn't been paying attention to Lucas, who had calmly been circling behind me. I wasn't sure what he was trying to do, but the moment his arms wrapped around my waist, my brother tried to tackle me down.

The problem was they didn't realize how much power I was on the verge of using until it was too late and flew from me in a frenzy, seeking to hit any target in its path.

I hadn't meant for anybody to get hurt.

I had it meant for things to go sideways and had they just let me be to calm down on my own, perhaps things would have been fine.

My mother's scream echoed around me. I looked up from the ground over towards the fire. I spotted Melissa laying there unmoving, and my heart absolutely broke.

As if a combustion inside me had finally let go, I screamed in frustration and pain. My eyes wide with fear as tears rolled down my cheeks. The power within me exploding, tossing Lucas and Lux from my body as I quickly climbed to my hands and knees and scrambled over to where Melissa layed.

"No. Please No." I never meant for anybody to get hurt and yet the one person I had loved and trusted my entire life was now gone. She lay there, her eyes wide open, her hair sprawled around her.

There was nothing I could do now, but I wanted to. Goddess, I wanted to.
