*********************************Lena's POV Yes, she had done it before, but we couldn't bank on it; we couldn't put our hundred per cent on it as it would take time too.I kept on trying and trying until midnight when I got so frustrated. Ethan watched me with keen eyes, cheering me up from where he sat, looking at me, watching me as I failed at every attempt I made to raise the spoon. Ethan came to me with water and food as I had refused to eat anything, and I was angry about the fact that I hadn't been able to lift the spoon. I still refused to eat but Ethan kept urging and begging me "Please you need to eat something, you can't do this to yourself and besides the baby neneedsood, do you want to starve your baby to death," he said "At least if you want to starve yourself to death I don't mind but I won't like you starving my baby to death" he teased "Can't we just let Lyla take over my body just so we could go save Adrian, this is taking forever " I pleaded "I am sorry, Len
********************************Adrian's POV 'Fuck it' I cursed in my head This dark figure had caught on to my plans; I wanted to just end my life with the silver sword I had seen on the floor; since it was silver, I would die faster if I used it to pierce my heart directly. Do not even dare to call me a coward because what would you expect me to do? Stay until I am taken over by dark magic, when I no longer have a will of my own and when I become a danger to Lena and my child.Thinking about it was more painful alone than actually doing it. Though this ominous figure had said that I wouldn't know what I was doing, it will forever be in Lèna's memory that the man who had killed her was the father of her child. If there was to be a time that the black magic would wear off and then I might remember the things that I had done I wouldn't be able to forgive myself forever. "What are you trying to do little wolf," he said "Do not call me little wolf?", I said while still struggling
******************Adrian's POV I could feel that I was slowly losing control as the dark magic invaded my mind wrapping around my thoughts like a poisonous vine I could feel his gaze on me but I couldn't see his face he seemed to be watching me from somewhere but I didn't know how he was doing it, it was probably because he was using dark magic to look at me from wherever he wasHe probably had a mirror where he was watching me, and every time I moved, because he moved the sword far away from where it was. I was getting frustrated at this point I tried to push through getting pain my eyes still fixed on the new direction where the sword had moved to Thanks to the goddess it wasn't far from me.His voice began to shift, suspicion began to creep in as he asked me "Why so many questions, little wolf? You sound far too interested in my tale", I stiffened, forcing a strained chuckle."I was only trying to understand the monster I am facing" I replied I was getting closer to the blade,
**********************************Ethan's POV At last, she was able to lift the spoon, but she couldn't move it from where it was to another direction. I sat a few steps away from where Lena was trying to lift the spoon trying not to look too worried, but I couldn’t help it. Every time she failed to move the spoon, she became more frustrated. I could feel the weight of her emotions, and it tore at him. She was pushing herself too hard, but how could I tell her to slow down when Adrian’s life was hanging in the balance?As Lena fought with the spoon, I tried to clench my fist. I wanted to step in, to do something, anything, but I knew this was something only she could do. It wasn’t just about moving a spoon—it was about mastering her powers, finding control. I hated this feeling the feeling of uselessness, sitting on the sidelines while she struggled. My mind wandered to Adrian, hoping against hope that he was hanging on, just as Lena was.You might be wondering why I was hoping he
********************************Ethan's POVI continued to watch as Lena kept on mastering the spoon movement, and a feeling of great relief washed over me I was so happy, that I moved closer to where she was standing, admiring her perseverance and determination, but I still couldn't push away the fact that Lena had probably just lied to me about who she concentrated on. I had to wash off the thoughts from my mind as it wasn't what was important right now; deep inside, I knew that Lena was yet to attain the amount of control to be able to face Zane, fear pricking me in the heart. The task before us wasn't just about moving spoons, but it was a battle of control, for life and the future."It's high time you have to try something bigger Lena" I said "Oh yeah, you are right; this is merely just a spoon. Even a baby witch can do this,", she said, disappointment in her eyes. "Hey baby, you don't have to be so hard on yourself, every great sorcerer today went through this present stage
***************************Ethan's POV I watched as Lena, with newfound resolve and strength, set her sights on lifting something heavier than the chairs. I could feel the shift in her energy, a fresh, raw determination to push herself further. I stepped back, giving her more space, but I still couldn't push aside my worries. The weight of what was ahead was immense, and I knew she might just be pushing herself to dangerous limits if she over-pushed.In a way, I was glad that she had a more determined resolve; I could see hope rekindled in her eyes, and it made me wonder what the thing she thought of that rekindled such hope. Lena begins to focus more intensely. She takes a deep breath, her hand hands extended toward the chair. I observed her closely, trying not to let my nerves show. As I was nervous and anxious. I had to be because she didn't even decide to lift a plate or a plot the next closest thing to the weight of a spoon. She decided to move straight to the castle chair
****************************Lena's POV I could feel that Ethan was looking at me intensely, all his gaze on me like he was scared that something might happen to me, and he didn't want to let me out of his sight. I focused my mind on the chair. It wasn't easy; it was a tough struggle for me, more than I wanted to admit. Each time I tried and failed, the frustration got closer to the surface, threatening to spill over, to completely take over my resolve, but I wasn't about to give up on trying and pushing harder. I had to do a lot more if I needed to even have a chance with Zane. He was out there, Adrian was suffering, and I was stuck, fumbling with chairs. I could hear Lyla's voice humming in the back of my mind.Her reluctance to fully intervene was strong, it was a struggle, a battle and a burden for me.The chair shook and wobbled; it tilted front and back, finally lifting off the ground before crashing down with a loud resounding thud; for a moment, I thought it was gonna cause
***************************Lena's POVEthan asked about the dangers; I knew if I told him about the dangers of tapping from my anger if I ended up tapping from the wrong kind of anger, it was me allowing darkness into myself; he was going to stop me from doing it.I couldn't afford to make him stop me from doing this; I needed to try this, so I lied."There are no dangers, only that I might just get weaker for some minutes or hours depending on the level I tapped into." I had to tell him this. I couldn't make the mistake of saying there would be no consequences at all; he would not believe me. Besides, we all know anger is not a good thing. Using it as fuel to harness my powers could be very dangerous. But I was ready to risk it. "Are you sure about this?" he asked looking worried "Yes, I am very sure", I replied.Inside me, I could hear Lyla scream and shout at the top of her voice, warning me not to try what I was about to do, that it could just be the end of all good things. It
