CAMILLA’S P.O.V

Ever since Peggy’s incident with the lake, I found myself returning to that exact spot every night to practice my newfound powers. I wasn’t sure if I was just a natural talent or if I had learned all this in my six year mind gap and it was just slowly coming back to me. Whichever it was, I couldn’t help but imagine just how cool it must have been for me to own these powers. I felt unstoppable.

Marie had let go of her grudge and sometimes sat down by the lake with me and watched me practice. She said it made her feel safer being around the lake knowing I was there and could pull her out if need be. I wasn’t sure if that made us friends but I was glad that she wasn’t trying to run me out of the house. Speaking of the house, I had to move out soon.

I hadn’t told either of them but I didn’t want to be a bother anymore and it seemed like everything was going haywire. I didn’t want another situation like the one where Marie completely hated my guts. I didn’t want to make anyone uncomfortable and I had already started searching for a new job without saying anything to them. it was proving to be difficult considering we lived in a small town where everyone knew everyone. I knew it was only a matter of time before things got out.

“Camilla,” my

my door slammed open and Marie walked inside with her hands crossed over her chest. For a split second, I thought she had found out about the job but she simply looked me over. “What are you still doing here? We have to be in town in a few minutes. Today is market day or have you forgotten.”

I muttered a small curse under my breath and leaped to my feet. I was so lost in my own thoughts that I forgot we had something else to

The market was a considerable distance away from where we lived which was why we limited market errands to once a month. It was a hassle walking the entire way there and back and in that moment, I would have killed for a horse but only the rich were able to afford them and rich wouldn’t have been the right words to classify us. We were barely above water as it was.

“We have to be quick,” Marie whispered to me. “I want to be in and out before mid- afternoon. You know that is-”

“That is when the market becomes rowdy. I know, Marie, you have repeated this to me more than five times in the past two days alone,” I drawled and she rolled her eyes. “Why don’t we split up? I can handle a portion of the list and you can handle another. That way, we can get it done in half the time and you can return home as early as you want.”

I saw her turning my words over in her head. It was hard for someone like her to concede control. She loved being able to watch over everything but unless she wanted to be in the market for far longer than necessary, then my way was the best way. She debated it for far too
